The Chinese Allied Forces, which won the battle in Gyeongbakho Lake and the Battle of the Apostles and boosted the military power, decided to attack Tokyo. Tokyoseong Fortress, an altitude of Balhae located in the southwest of Yeongan-hyeon, was a strategic point, a transportation hub, and a food supply base for the Japanese and Manchuria forces. If you take over the Taet Tokyo Fortress, you can isolate the territory by strategically controlling the western part of Yeongan-hyeon and there is a possibility of attacking the territory in the future. It also had the meaning of blocking the supply of military supplies by the enemy and securing allies' troops. General Ji Cheong-cheon sent a scavenger to detect the appropriateness of Tokyo, and found that about 300 enemy troops were deployed in Tokyo, of which 150 Japanese engineers stole the treasure of Gyeongbakho Lake and robbed the relics of Balhae. General Ji Cheong-cheon, the commander-in-chief of the Korean Independence Army, discussed with Si-young Si-young, commander of the 14th Division of the Gilingu Armed Forces, organized the entire army into the 3rd Division, surrounded Tokyo, blocked wires, telecommunications, and transportation, and destroyed retreating troops. Convenience Unit first penetrated into the castle and disturbed the enemy's camp, and the 1st Royal Army, a regular unit, advanced to the hillside area along the Mokdan River via Maansan Mountain, and Heo Jangseongse prevented the enemy from supporting Donggyeongseong Fortress. If the enemy increased the number, the unit was tasked with stopping it. The 2nd Ro-gun ambushed around 5 and 6 ri of Tokyo, cut bridges and wires first to prevent contact with enemy supporters and annihilate them when Tokyo's enemy escaped and fled. As the main unit, the 3rd Ro Army divided into left and right sides to cooperate with Tokyo. Thus, that night, the ROK-China coalition attacked Tokyo, and a bloody battle broke out for about three hours. The Korean Independence Army first approached the gate with outstanding mobility and then destroyed the gate by responding to enemy resistance. Then, the enemy troops guarding each gate began to be pushed back by the Allied attack. The Korean Independence Army Convenience Unit, led by Hwanghak-soo, was lurking in the castle in advance, and then raided the back of the enemy and performed a lot of activities. The Japanese and Manchurian troops fled to the north gate after realizing that the war was unfavorable, but were almost destroyed by the cooperative attack of the chasers and Chinese ambush. The enemy's casualties reached about 200. On the one hand, the Korean and Chinese forces choreographed the residents and organized the battlefield on the other hand. There were more spoils such as weapons, ammunition, sheaths, and horses than in the battle. In particular, it was of great help to the activities of the ROK-China coalition forces because it had a large number of troops. However, according to reports from the scouts, information was obtained that three enemy regimental forces were stationed in Yeongan County. The leaders of the ROK-China coalition, including Ji Cheong-cheon and Si Si-young, decided to withdraw from Donggyeongseong Fortress before the enemy's counterattack because it was difficult to defend it unless they occupied it in a short period of time. In the meantime, the ROK-China Allied Forces, which were dispersed and stationed at important points for about 20 days, constantly engaged in small-scale battles with the surrounding enemies. During this period, the Won Buddhism additionally joined the Korean Independence Army, further expanding its military power. Afterwards, the ROK-China Allied Forces withdrew from there in anticipation of a counterattack by the forces of the Great Forces of Manlyang-gun and moved to the forest area between Wangcheong Dongnyeong-hyeon. It was the eve of the Battle of Jaryeong in Daejeon, where a brilliant criminal record was raised along with the Battle of Cheongsan-ri in the history of the Anti-Japanese Independence War. General Ji Cheong-cheon took care of the Korean Independence Army and moved to the northeast direction of Wangcheong-hyeon and the mountainous area between Dongnyeong-hyeon, Wangcheong-hyeon after the Battle of Tokyo. This was around May 1933, and the Korean Independence Army was able to obtain information that the Gando Dispatch Team, which was stationed in Najagu-gu, Wangcheong-hyeon, was withdrawing to Korea. This Kando Dispatch Corps was led by Shinichi Ikeda, a sub-unit of the 19th Division of the Japanese Army, stationed in Joseon, and was led by two infantry battalions, one infantry battalion, two infantry battalion, two artillery battalions, and a platoon of soldiers. They were notorious troops dispatched in early 1932 to disturb the security of Manchuria and suppress anti-Japanese armed groups that interfered with Japanese military activities. The Kando Dispatch Corps judged that the subjugation operation against the anti-Japanese uprising armed group had achieved some results, so it took turns with the Kando District Guard belonging to Kwandong-gun. "We've got a great opportunity. Let's break down the Kando Dispatch Unit, which can be called an elite unit of the Japanese army." General Ji Cheong-cheon, commander-in-chief of the Korean Independence Army, proposed to Si-young, commander of the Chinese Volunteer Army, to attack the Kando Dispatch Corps. "Gando Dispatch Corps is a unit notorious for military organizations engaged in anti-Japanese warfare. Can we attack them and win?" When Si-young asked back with a worried look, General Ji Cheong-cheon replied with a confident voice. "The enemy is proud of their great achievements in the subjugation operation. If you take advantage of the enemy's arrogant attitude and set up a meticulous operation, you will not be able to defeat the enemy. If our coalition destroys the Gando Dispatch Corps, it will encourage military groups from both countries with the banner of anti-Japanese warfare." The Korean Independence Army and Chinese Volunteer Army deliberately took a difficult march route to increase the effectiveness of surprise attacks. The Japanese military began forcibly recruiting horse carriages from nearby civilians to return with a large number of military supplies they had used or stored at the camp in Najagu, where they had stayed for about a year and two months. Accordingly, the Korean Independence Army dispatched scouts to spy on the number of Japanese cargo cars, the number of requisitioned horse carriages, their travel routes, and the date and time of departure. General Ji Cheong-cheon opened the map and told Si-young. "There are two ways for the enemy to escape from Najagu-gu, one is a detour to Hunchun, and the other is a rugged mountain path through Baekcho-gu. The road to Baekcho-gu is a winding road of about 40 ri, with sheer cliffs rising on both sides and dense forests on top of it, so you can only march in a row. I expect the enemy to go to its destination with a quick march." "If you know the law of the army, you cannot form a proper line of troops, and you will not choose this path that is feared to be ambushed by the enemy. How come the general expects the enemy to use this path as a march?" "The Japanese tactics are simpler than expected, so there is no concept of mountain warfare, and there are various strategic forms of artillery warfare and mountain warfare on flatlands, but I don't know how to respond to guerrilla warfare by the opposing forces. This is not to underestimate the Japanese army, but to use my experience at the Japanese Military Academy. "Well... Then, this is a convenient place for allies to ambush, so we'll have the advantage." The ROK-China forces tried to deploy troops by selecting points to ambush and attack them easily in an advantageous place. Accordingly, at the end of June, the Korean Independence Army bypassed Hwagaesan Mountain west of Daejeonja and ambushed the hillside on both sides of Taepyeongryeong Pass, the expected point of the enemy's passage. And just in case, he ambushed the branch troops on other roads to surprise the enemy's rear if the enemy did not enter the expected path. About 500 Korean independence forces and about 2,000 Chinese volunteer forces participated in the battle. About 300 Korean Independence Army soldiers were deployed in the middle of the pass, that is, the highest place, and about 100 Korean Independence Army and Chinese volunteer forces were deployed at the entrance and exit of the pass. The ROK-China Allied Forces ambushed in trenches built at the foot of the mountains on both sides of the valley and completed preparations for an attack on the Japanese army. However, it continued to rain for three days from the day the ambush preparation was completed. The prepared amount of dried mushrooms ran out, and the morale of the Korean independence army did not know that the morale of the Korean independence army would decrease while eating mushrooms that grow naturally at the end of the rainy season. This is because there was a belief that in a little while, it could be a decisive blow to the invading forces of the motherland through a massive battle with the Japanese military. On June 29, the rain was clear, and the Japanese departed from Najagu. Many freight transport vehicles were mobilized to withdraw the regiment-scale Gando dispatch. And there was a mixture of horse carriages that were recruited in the middle. The number of Japanese troops withdrawing was about 1,600, and the route was as rough as General Ji Cheong-cheon expected. Prior to the battle, General Ji Cheong-cheon gave the following instructions to the soldiers of the Korean Independence Army. "This battle is an attack to avenge the enemy for the 20 million Korean people. Each bullet is a bloody lion with thousands of our ancestors and tens of thousands of souls bowing, so let the empire sacrifice everything and fight bravely for the Ten Thousand Generations. "The Korean Independence Army fought many battles, including the Battle of Ssangseong, but mainly the Japanese and Manchurian allies. On the other hand, the Battle of Jaryeong in Daejeon was entirely a battle against the Japanese military. It was also a large army of regiment-scale armed with heavy weapons such as infantry, artillery, and cavalry platoon. Therefore, the morale of the Korean independent forces in battle was further enhanced. Subsequently, Ji Cheong-cheon delivered an overview of the following operations to the staff of the Independence Army.
"The commencement of the attack shall be initiated by the signal of the commander-in-chief when the rear of the enemy reaches two-thirds or more of the Taepyeongryeong Pass. We will attack only the Japanese military and be very careful not to damage the loaded military supplies. The bullets are abundant, so prepare more than 300 shots each and remain silent before starting shooting. After the annihilation of the enemy's troops, start organizing them one by one according to the order of confiscation of military supplies." As it was virtually difficult for Korean independent forces to continue to travel with Chinese mercenaries to secure stable supply routes for military supplies, it was a very efficient way to maintain and expand their combat power. The attack of the Korean independent army on the enemy killed the lives of the enemy, but above all, the focus was on the detection of military supplies by the enemy. Finally, the Japanese army began to be seen in the tense eyes of the Korean Independence Army ambushed in the canyon. After the Japanese outpost unit passed, the main unit began to enter the valley with a freight car in front. The Japanese rear unit had promised to launch a gun attack after fully entering the valley where the Allied forces ambushed, but the Chinese volunteer forces did not wait for the attack signal and fired before the enemy's rear unit came in. Accordingly, the Korean Independence Army also launched an all-out attack. Upon receiving an unexpected surprise attack, the Japanese army surrounded a wagon carrying military supplies and looked everywhere, but the ranks began to collapse without accurately grasping the location of the allied forces that started the attack. The Korean Independence Army rolled down the rock with fire, crushed the Japanese, destroyed cars and horse carriages, and put them in a state of transportation. The Japanese army attempted sporadic resistance by shooting at the high ground, but it was difficult to produce a great effect because the terrain was disadvantageous, concentrated, and not a smooth response. On the other hand, the Korean Independence Army and the Chinese Volunteer Army launched intensive and systematic onslaught in an absolutely advantageous terrain, forcing the Japanese to suffer great damage. In the end, the Japanese army, which was hit hard by the Allied ambush, tried to flee, abandoning heavy weapons and transport vehicles. However, they were also attacked and annihilated by Chinese volunteer forces behind them. Thus, after five hours of battle, the ROK-China Allied Forces were able to completely annihilate the Japanese army's Kando dispatch team and capture military supplies such as 10 cannons, mortars, 1,500 guns, and 3,000 blankets. In this way, the regimental-scale Kando dispatch team, which had been notorious in the Dongmanju area for its subjugation operation of the anti-Japanese war unit, was eventually destroyed by the Korean and Chinese allied forces, which led to the Korean Independence Army in Manchuria.
