A squadron responsible for offensive reconnaissance was wiped out, which shocked the Japanese landing troops that had already established positions on the mudflats. From the brief fire exchange before, many Japanese officers also heard that the gunfire of the defenders was somewhat wrong.

If the troops guarding the city at this moment were in control of the colonial French-lanese army and servant mercenaries, the weapons they equipped should be all French-lanese weapons, and it was impossible for German-made Mauser rifles to appear.

What shocked them even more was that most of the weapons equipped by the defenders were actually their standard equipment. If it weren't for a fight, some officers even suspected that the troops guarding Haifang City would be their army at this moment!

The news was reported to the fleet commander, and the fleet commander also said with confusion: "What about Na? The defenders in the city are not colonial troops? How is this possible? Could it be that the colonial troops have joined forces with the Chinese army? Why is there no news?"

The most likely armed forces in the southwest that can equip Japanese and German weapons is undoubtedly the southwest anti-Japanese war forces. The problem is that the colonial government that controls Indochina will not allow the anti-Japanese war forces to enter the southwest at all!

In order to find out what was going on, the fleet commander immediately contacted the Special High School, which was responsible for Southwest Intelligence, and immediately launched a corresponding investigation. However, the reply given by the Special High School was that the Anti-Japanese War troops did not cross the border.

"Baga! Then where did these damn troops emerge? Order the infantry brigade to exert greater offensive pressure. I really want to see what secrets are hidden in the city. Let the Special High School continue to investigate!"

"Hi!"

The infantry brigade that had already landed soon dispatched an infantry corps that had been assembled and began to come to the position responsible for the first battalion. Seeing the black attack on the Japanese army, the first battalion commander also felt the pressure.

Not long after, the Second Battalion also received an order to enter the defensive position in advance and fight side by side with the First Battalion. The artillery battalion brought by Lei Xiong will also join the defensive operations and provide artillery cover for the defensive forces.

After the two sides showed their chariots, horses and cannons and officially started a new round of fighting, Lei Xiong, at Hu Biao's signal, said: "Major Pique, can you choose one or two companies from your troops and fight side by side with us?"

"Of course! This is our honor! Is two companies enough?"

"Enough! The Japanese sent a lot of offensive troops this time, I need someone to take charge of the flanking safety for me!"

"No problem! I immediately ordered two companies to be transferred!"

As Major Pique conveyed the order, Lei Xiong asked: "Wolf Head, why do you let these foreigners go to the battlefield? They have poor combat power. I am afraid that they can't handle a few rounds of charges, and they may be defeated without fighting!"

"Lao Lei, who is born to fight? A hundred times of tempering will make steel. For us, as long as we have left the more than a thousand French soldiers who choose to fight, I believe we will make a profit as long as we can experience half of the experience in the end.

Vick, choose two squads from your commando and fight with Franci's troops. Tell our commando that in addition to combat missions, they also have another task to supervise the battle. No one will defeat himself and kill him on the spot!”

"Yes, wolf head!"

From Hu Biao's words, it is not difficult to hear that Nuvik is only elite. Those colonial troops with low combat power and weak will will not worry too much whether they die or live. If you want to become Hu Biao's subordinate, your fighting will must be very firm.

When he learned that Nuvik would also send two assault teams to supervise the two combat companies he sent, Major Pique did not refuse even though he was a little surprised. His family knew his family affairs, and he knew that the soldiers left behind really needed supervision.

Even after some consideration, Major Pique quickly said: "Nuuk, I want to go to the battlefield too! I also need to fight!"

"Yes! But you really thought about it! Any accident can happen on the battlefield!"

"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't choose to stay! My subordinates are not lacking in courage, they just lack practical experience!"

"Okay, I will tell General Lei later! These are my two subordinates, and they will protect your safety in person later. As friends, I hope you can come back alive and we will drink celebration wine together!"

"Thanks!"

If Pique had a little vigilance towards Nuvik before, then Pique could feel that he had been recognized by Nuvik. As long as he survived, I believe his future will become better and better.

When they received a call from the division headquarters, the two battalion commanders were a little surprised, but they didn't say much. After all, they were here to help, and the real thing they really needed to fight was actually these colonial troops.

Faced with the sound of gunfire, the two companies of the French Lanxi troops followed Pique and the White Bear Commando and entered the defensive position. Looking at the Japanese troops attacking in the densely packed areas in front of them, many French Lanxi soldiers were also weak.

Seeing this scene, the liaison officer sent by the Second Division quickly comforted: "Major Pique, compared to the Japanese army attacking outside, we have fortifications built in advance. As long as we are highly focused during the battle, the chances of being hit are not high.

When shooting, please warn your subordinates not to look up too much. The Japanese riflemen's shooting level is very high. If you really want to defend the honor of the French and Western army, please adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible. There will be many such battles in the future!"

"Thanks!"

The colonial troops that took over the flank defensive positions also began to lie in the trenches. Looking at the Japanese who entered the range, these colonial troops also began to shoot. Seeing the Japanese soldiers who were killed, they couldn't help but cheer.

However, as the Japanese army began to attack wildly, the colonial army responsible for defending the flanks also began to suffer casualties. Looking at the soldiers hit and fell into the trenches, many soldiers couldn't help but say, "Oh! God! I want to go home!"

"Shut up! Open your damn eyes, pick up your rifle, aim and shoot! If you dare to cry again, I will throw you out immediately. See those damn damn gongs? They die more than us, why aren't they afraid?

Open your eyes and see who is lying beside you. He is your comrade-in-arms and your brother. Don’t you want to avenge him? Are Faranci’s soldiers really so incompetent? Do you want to be ridiculed? Do you want others to call you a coward?"

"No! I want to take revenge! I want to take revenge!"

Every time there was a casualty, it would put a lot of psychological pressure on the surviving Faranci soldiers. At this time, the commandos sent by Nuvik began to do their work, using words or fists to warn these weak colonial officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, the first regiment commander also always paid attention to the colonial army. Once he saw that the Japanese army had allocated too much troops, he would order the artillery battalion to provide artillery fire cover. This obvious battlefield training touched Major Pique.

But more, I still feel deeply ashamed. Compared with the wolf army in the front position, they don’t have many enemies on the flanks. But even so, they still fight a mess. This also shows that the soldiers of Francis have indeed fallen.

It is gratifying that as the initial panic was filled with revenge, the surviving officers and soldiers of the French Lanxi began to slowly stabilize their positions, and they became much more organized and ordered when fighting defensive battles.

On the contrary, most of the servant mercenaries brought by him seemed very careful and dodged. Seeing the performance of the servant mercenaries, Pique finally understood why Nuvik told him earlier that these servant mercenaries were useless and could not fight tough battles at all.

But just imagine, these servants were recruited by them from the colonial army. For these servants, they did not have the kind of heart that the Francis soldiers defended their honor, and they thought more about hoping to survive.

If it weren't for becoming a servant mercenary and could receive a considerable salary, I'm afraid these servant mercenaries would have run away long ago. Through such battlefield experience, Major Pique finally realized what Nuvik said that they could only rely on themselves!

As Hu Biao said, it is difficult to train to produce elite soldiers. Only by experiencing war experience can the surviving soldiers become elite soldiers. Without experiencing war experience, you will never understand how cruel the battlefield is, and you will never understand what a moment of life and death feels like.

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the infantry corps responsible for the attack had already paid nearly half of the casualties, but they were still unable to break through the defense line. Faced with the defense of the fortifications and artillery fire support, the infantry corps captain also felt extremely aggrieved.

"Baga! Those incompetent navy, we obviously brought the artillery we urgently needed, but why can't we remove them? We can't fight any more. If we continue to fight, the corps will be exhausted. These defenders are not simple, I'm afraid they are all elite!"

"Wing Captain, what should I do?"

"Report to the brigade commander, please withdraw first! Without artillery fire support, it will be difficult for us to break through the defense line of the defenders!"

"Hi!"

After receiving the request and report from the infantry corps commander, although the brigade commander was very angry, he also knew that the infantry corps commander was telling the truth. In the past, as the attacking side, they often applied for artillery support when the infantry was blocked.

If artillery reinforcements are not enough, then apply for air force reinforcements. Through the advantages of weapons, they can directly crush their opponents. Now, they finally tasted what it feels like to be beaten by others. In addition, they had no choice but to order the troops to retreat!

Seeing the attack on the Japanese army who finally retreated slowly, the defenders in charge of blocking the positions could not help but cheer. Compared with the officers and soldiers of the Second Division, they were relatively calm and began to place wounded soldiers and carry the dead soldiers off the positions.

And in the position of the Francissi defenders this time, many of the Francissi soldiers who survived couldn't help crying with joy: "God, we finally won! Those damn Fusso people were finally defeated by us! We won!"

"Yes! I won! But the casualties are still quite large! The battlefield is indeed full of blood and death!"

Compared to the soldiers' gratitude, Major Pique, as the commander, felt the difference between him and the troops next to him. Not to mention the Japanese army attacking, even the defenders next to him could not compare. It seems that it is not surprising that Francis will fall.

I lived a comfortable life for too long, and from the government to the civilians seemed to have forgotten the war. Faced with the German army with rich combat experience and careful preparation for many years, how could they be invincible if they had no fighting spirit?
