For the Japanese army pursuing the colonial army, Tonggucheng was a military center that it must capture. The 55th Division of the Japanese army responsible for attacking Tonggucheng received a call from the vanguard brigade and realized that Tonggucheng would have a bad battle.

While ordering the troops to speed up the speed of their journey, the Japanese division commander also sent a report to the commander in the rear, asking for assistance from the aviation army. The artillery troops that were originally following the division were also ordered to speed up and quickly join the main force of the division.

After the capture of Dagong, all Japanese combat troops were in high morale. However, many of the officers and soldiers transferred from the front line of the Anti-Japanese War knew that the Chinese anti-Japanese troops were far from as simple as imagined. The two armies played chess, and the outcome was really unknown.

At the same time, in order to find out the movements of the colonial army and the number of troops stationed in Tonggu City, the Japanese army immediately instructed the Special High School to increase the efforts to collect intelligence. Not long after, the colonial army evacuated overnight, and news that there was only one division in the city was also sent back.

"The 200th Division, Major General Dai An, the division commander, has a strong combat power, and their division commander is not simple either!"

Since the day the war of aggression was launched, the Japanese army has always had the habit of collecting generals of the War of Resistance. For the Japanese army, understanding the character of each commanding general also helps them make targeted arrangements and increase their chances of victory.

Dai An could not rest assured that he could rest assured when he repelled the first wave of attacks of the Japanese army. As the Wolf Army reconnaissance unit continued to send him relevant news about the Japanese division, Dai An also felt a little pressure and felt that this should be a bad battle.

With several main team leaders under his command, Dai An began to inspect the fortifications that were still strengthening one by one. For Dai An, even if the superiors had not ordered him to stay in Tonggu City for a few days, the stronger the fortifications, the better.

Looking at the young and strong people who were helping to build fortifications, Dai An also said curiously: "Captain Sun, these civilians should have received military training, right? Although they did not hold guns, their spirits are very different!"

"The general has good eyesight! But now, they are just a group of civilians. At least in the eyes of some people who are interested, they are just a group of young and strong civilians who have been captured in Tonggu City and built fortifications for you. They don't know how to fight at all!"

Listening to what Captain Sun said, Dai An thought for a while and said with a smile: "Well! That's right! They are just a group of civilians!"

For some reason, when Dai An saw this group of young and strong men who were very skilled in building trenches and fortifications, he suddenly remembered a word, that is, "hiding soldiers to the people". If the Japanese really think that this is a group of civilians, they will definitely suffer a great loss at that time!

The civilian team of nearly 3,000 people can transform into a main group at a critical moment. This also gives Dai An more reserve teams. As for the attacking side, I guess he can't guess why he suddenly has another group!

To repel the first wave of attacks of the Japanese, Dai An ordered the troops to change their defenses and rest. Not long after lunch, the confidential staff officer took an urgent wire: "The division seat, the observation post in front sent an urgent wire, and the Japanese were dispatched in large groups of aircraft!"

"I understand! Immediately sound the air raid alarm, and all combatants enter the air raid shelter to hide. Frontier observation posts and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army. On the other side of the artillery position, you must take protective disguises and don't expose the position easily!"

"Yes, teacher!"

With the sound of a harsh air defense alarm, the officers and soldiers who were building fortifications in the open space quickly hid in the already built air raid shelter and artillery tunnel. Taking advantage of this time, many officers and soldiers also began to rest.

As for the words of the civilians, they did not stay with the officers and soldiers, but had another resting place. The Japanese who were reconnaissance nearby heard the sound of air defense alarms coming from the city, and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

But after watching for a long time, these Japanese scouts did not see the shadow of the fighter plane at all, and they said in confusion: "Where is the fighter plane?"

"It probably hasn't arrived yet!"

"How did the troops in that city know that our fighter planes were dispatched?"

"I don't know this either!"

Just as the Japanese army was curious, the Wolf Army, which had established a relatively complete radar air defense system, could detect any aircraft entering the colony in advance. At the same time, the two Eagle Strike Teams near Tonggucheng were also ready to take off at any time.

According to Hu Biao's request, the Eagle Strike Brigade will also officially debut during the process of defending the Japanese army. Three years of low-key dormant, the Eagle Strike Brigade now has four brigades and an aviation academy.

There are more than 300 pilots with practical experience, and more than 500 junior pilots, and more pilots can fly fighters on the air. The aircraft engines and materials purchased from Menia in the previous period are being assembled one after another.

Even the first Shillong Aviation Brigade, where the Eagle Nest, has now replaced the first batch of new fighters. These fighters are Hellcat fighters that can restrain the Japanese Zero. To some extent, they are more advanced than the Hellcat fighters in history!

For Hu Biao, this fighter jet is also the last piston engine of the Eagle Strike Brigade. According to Hu Biao's requirements, the Aviation Design Institute is currently developing jet engines. New fighters in the future will also be equipped with jet aircraft engines.

In Hu Biao's opinion, the improved Hellcat fighter jet is still not a big problem until the end of the war. In the past few years, I believe that the new jet fighter jet should be able to be successfully developed and tested. Hu Biao is confident about this!

Half an hour after the air defense alarm sounded, the reconnaissance troops on the ground discovered their fighter formation. Seeing this scene, the Japanese in charge of reconnaissance were also extremely shocked. They knew that the defending air strikes and unprepared air strikes, which damaged even more.

Now the 200th Division stationed in Tonggu City has prepared air defense half an hour in advance. Even if their fighter planes fly over and bomb Tonggu City, the final bombing effect will probably not be so satisfactory!

Just as these Japanese Japanese in charge of reconnaissance thought, they could not see any valuable bombing targets. The Japanese fighter formation ordered to carry out air strikes could only eventually dump more aviation bombs into relatively clear fortifications outside the city.

Half an hour after the bombing was over, the defensive troops hiding in the air-raid shelter heard the sound of the air-raid alarm being lifted. The officers and soldiers all looked calm and began to repair the fortifications destroyed by the bombing, not as afraid of bombing as before.

Just when the Japanese reconnaissance team was planning to pass the information back, the Wolf Army reconnaissance team hidden in Tonggu City launched a raid on it. After the messy gunfire sounded, several Japanese reconnaissance teams were wiped out of the city.

Dai An, who was inspecting the position, heard the gunshots coming from outside the city and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Where are you shooting?"

"The master's seat is a dense forest outside the city! It's a bit far away from us. Should I send someone to take a look?"

Before Dai Yan could give the order, Captain Sun smiled and said, "It's okay! Someone is cleaning up the rats that are sneaking up on us, so don't worry too much. The Japanese's main force will probably have to wait until the evening to arrive here!"

"Order the troops to be on the spot to be alert! Without orders, no attack is allowed!"

"Yes, teacher!"

After finding a relatively safe place, Dai An also smiled and said, "Captain Sun, is that yours?"

"That's right! The Japanese are coming in full force, so we naturally have to take precautions early. In the dense forest outside the city, we sent a lot of reconnaissance and guarding troops. The previous news was forwarded by them through the radio."

"Awesome! With your help, we can save a lot of worry!"

"That's all a path! The real tough battle depends on you to fight!"

For the officers and soldiers within the Wolf Army, they had received a instructions from Hu Biao earlier, which was to do their best to help the expedition army and reduce casualties. In terms of intelligence, they would provide the expedition army with more help and support, and also do a better job in logistics!

Waiting in the city, I waited till evening, the vanguard of the Japanese division finally appeared in the sight of the frontier defensive forces. What surprised Dai An was a little surprised was that the main force of the Japanese division that arrived in Tonggu City was not in a hurry to launch an attack.

Instead, he sent some people from time to time to conduct reconnaissance and collect intelligence along the surrounding area of ​​Tonggu City. In this case, Dai An did not let the Japanese devils be too leisurely. He transferred some elite troops from his guard battalion to shoot and kill Japanese devils.

Just when Dai Yan suspected that the Japanese division would launch an attack overnight, he found that it was fine all night. But Dai Yan didn't know that when the Japanese 55th Division was resting and resting, the independent division, who had been lurking for a long time, also began to act.

Looking at the terrain around Tonggu City, Hu Biao also said directly: "This is the first battle since the establishment of our Independent Division. We must promote the morale and prestige of the Independent Division. My requirement is very simple, to wipe out the Japanese division.

Send a report to the 200th Division, so that it must hold on for a day and a night. Tomorrow, they can withdraw from the battle! Order the guards and start to intercept and deploy. After the battle begins, the Japanese army that I want to reinforce in the future cannot come to reinforce in time!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

If other commanders said such words, others might think they were talking nonsense. How could a reorganized Japanese division be so easy to deal with? But if Hu Biao, the commanders and fighters who had just formed the independent division thought it was normal.

The Japanese army was resting and marching suddenly overnight and moved towards Tonggucheng. The Japanese army was resting and Dai An and his subordinates were not aware of it. When Tianming received a telegram from the independent division, Dai An was relieved.

"We will definitely be able to do it for a day and a night! Call back General Hu and my 200th Division promises to complete the task!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Just after breakfast, the artillery corps of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army began to launch violent artillery bombardment on the defensive positions of the 200th Division. Looking at the defensive positions covered by artillery fire, Dai An knew that this day would be a bit difficult!

Fortunately, their defensive positions have been repaired very well, and the Japanese army would have to pay a heavy price to break through their defense line. Taking advantage of the time when the Japanese army began to attack Tonggu City, Hu Biao ordered the troops to start resting.

When the troops who had marched all night had a rest, it was the Independent Division's turn to attack. At that time, waiting for the result of the Japanese army outside the city would inevitably lead to annihilation. All the officers and soldiers of the division had no doubt about this!
