Chapter 431 Attack on Vietnam
Somewhere in Laos, on the Mekong River.
"Look at those Chinese monkeys, how many miles do you think they will retreat today?" Benoit put his gun on the ground, looked at the tent across the river, and whistled at his companions beside him.
"Who knows? They have retreated for hundreds of kilometers in half a month," Boris shrugged. He and Benoit are both colonial soldiers under the French Indochina authorities. After hearing that the Chinese team was flowing down the Mekong River and "invading" Laos, they were sent to block the "enemy". Originally, they and their companions were killed and unwilling to come. Because the enemy had two divisions, it was said that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people. This is a terrifying number. The soldiers of the French Indochina authorities were probably just a fraction of the others. But for the glory of France, they had to come forward. Because the Lao people were not interested at all, and they had no ability to stop these Chinese people. So a company of 200 people set out like this.
Two hundred and twenty thousand... As the company commander, Boris originally made up his mind to only negotiate and never exchange fire. But if the Chinese were angry, he would surrender as soon as possible. Anyway, the whole of France surrendered, and no one would care whether they were just a company of them surrenders.
But to their surprise, the Chinese had already "beat" his songs, but after seeing them and receiving their "Dial", they actually stopped the "attack" and then began to retreat. First, they had a few kilometers a day, and after seeing them "forced" over, they continued to retreat, and then retreated, from more than ten miles a day to dozens of miles a day... Now, one of their companies has "driven" the "invaders" of the two divisions for hundreds of kilometers. He believed that if they had not been afraid of excessive angering the Chinese soldiers, they had deliberately slowed down, and now they would have driven the Chinese people through everything.
"From these Chinese monkeys, I know the strength of the Japanese monkeys, but the authorities actually agreed to hand over French Indochina to them... God, what's wrong with France?" Benoy took off his rifle and glanced at the military camp on the other side: "Boris, do you believe it or not? If we attack now, they will definitely run away in a panic!"
"Do you think I'm as mentally retarded as you?" Boris rolled his eyes. A company of 200 people went to attack an army of more than 20,000 people? If it were the natives of Vietnam or Laos, he could consider it. The Chinese... He was not so energetic: "But if the enemy on the other side was only one-fifth or sixth of the time it is now, I think it could give it a try."
"You are too timid. They are always backing back. They are afraid of us." Benoit said.
"I can tell from their clothes that their combat effectiveness is low. But they are a hundred times that of us after all. And as they keep retreating, they keep gathering the soldiers who were originally guarding the various occupied areas, and their number is increasing." Boris said: "So. They are not afraid of us at all. What they are afraid of is actually France!"
"You're wrong. They're not actually afraid of France."
As soon as Boris finished speaking, a sudden sound suddenly sounded behind him. The sound was spoken in French, but it was very stiff.
"Not afraid, you are ruling...my God!"
Benoit was very angry at this and turned around to teach this guy who would not give France a lesson, but as soon as he was about to raise his gun, he was frightened by the scene in front of him... At some point, there were hundreds of people standing behind them, and these hundreds of people were holding guns at them.
"I surrender!"
Boris was even more straightforward, took out his gun and threw it on the ground, then raised his hands directly.
"Happy. I finally understand what 'France' is." Zheng Jiemin grinned and patted the translator's shoulder: "Student Zhang, tell them that they have been captured now. The New 1st Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China!"
"No need, Chief Zheng?" Student Zhang, who was dressed in Laotian national costume and had a dark face, was amused and crying, "They are just a company. Our New 1st Army, plus the two divisions of the Yunnan Army, have about 50,000 or 60,000 people... Are you not afraid of embarrassing?"
"That's it." Zheng Jiemin felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. But looking at Boris and Benoit's faces were as white as the faces, he couldn't help but be happy... Since the founding of the Republic of China, he was the first general to capture "Western devils"? Although he fought with more, it felt really good.
...
Purchasing the French colonial army was just a small episode on the march. The two divisions of the Yunnan Army were the troops sent by Chiang Kai-shek from Yunnan after hearing that France surrendered to Germany. Along the Lancang River, he went straight down the Mekong River, and the marched quickly, which scared the Siam people so much that they were frightened and placed their pitiful troops on the border. However, the Yunnan Army ignored the Siam people, but went south along the Mekong River. Soon after, it crossed Vientiane and entered the important town of central Laos. Along the way, the Chinese team encountered almost no obstacles until Boris and his two hundred French soldiers appeared tremblingly.
Things will be simple afterwards.
Qin Wei ordered the two divisions to retreat actively and clear out the communication systems and all possible enemies along the way. This order made Boris and others "pride", but also cleared all obstacles to possible leaks for the New First Army's southward journey. You must know that Laos has not undergone much modernization in the 21st century, let alone sixty or seventy years ago? There were almost primitive areas everywhere. Sun Liren led a troops of tens of thousands of people, heading south on a large boat, small boat, bamboo raft, and was so swaying that no one was discovered.
It was nothing to be discovered. Qin Wei had a "military welfare fund" before and invested everywhere in the Indochina Peninsula, including Laos. In order to invest, he had sent many people to Laos before, such as Zhang, who could speak French... These people were exploring mineral resources in various places, and secretly cooperated with the military commanders to understand all aspects of Laos. Those who leaked the news, or the place, would be given priority to the care of Zheng Jiemin, the pioneer. As a result, tens of thousands of people in the New Army passed Vientiane so easily.
"We will reach the Girl Pass soon. Everyone should understand the importance of this battle. I won't say much about the rest. The New 1st Army will only move forward bravely!"
Just when Zheng Jiemin bullied the few and took off the French army with intentional calculations, in the city of Wanxiang, Sun Liren looked at Guo Rugui, Qi Xueqi and others standing straight, and said in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured that the military throne will surely move forward bravely and kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"What do you mean by Chief Sun?" Pan Shuorui, commander of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army, stood beside Guo Rugui. After hearing Sun Liren's words, he couldn't help but jump out, "What is the 'New 1st Army'? Is it not that our Yunnan Army has anything to do in this battle?"
"That's right," said Pan Shuorui, who was the commander of the 18th Division of the temporary 18th Division. Hearing this, he couldn't help but squint Sun Liren, "Although the above order is to let Chief Sun serve as our commander-in-chief, I think it's better for our temporary 18th Division to attack in this battle."
"Team Commander Lu, what do you mean? I look down on our New 1st Army?" Qi Xueqi was annoyed. What does it mean to use you for "first attack"? Zheng Jiemin was so crazy that he wanted to fight, otherwise he would not have done a company commander's work with the dignified commander. Before leaving, Zheng Jiemin ordered him to take advantage of his familiar relationship with Sun Liren to take down the task of the first attack no matter what, otherwise he would come back to settle the accounts. But now, before his most guarded Guo Rugui spoke, Lu Junquan came to grab the business first.
"How dare we look down on the New 1st Army? But no matter what, the New 1st Army was the first to Laos, and it was impossible to be more familiar with the environment than our temporary 18th Division. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive losses, it is better for us to fight this first battle." Lu Junquan said coldly.
"Fuck. Our 184th Division entered Laos earlier than you, so we should fight this battle." Pan Shuorui also shouted.
"you……"
"Okay." Sun Liren glanced at several people with a expressionless face, "I did say the wrong thing just now. I shouldn't just mention the 'New 1st Army'. I apologize to Commander Lu and Commander Pan. However, our first battle is to defeat the Jiao Nu Pass and ourselves... Webmaster Liu, have you investigated clearly how many enemies there are in this Jiao Nu Pass?"
"Not much." At the end of everyone, Liu Yisheng, the stationmaster of the Military Intelligence Bureau of Laos, took a step forward. "Since the Japanese entered French Indochina, they did not interfere with the French's administrative management of these places, especially because the Fifth Army had occupied the North Vietnam area before, their attention was mostly south of the Red River. Although the Jiao Nu Pass was an important pass in the Changshan Mountains that bound Laos and Vietnam, the two troops of Commander Pan and Commander Lu did not show off their attacks on these places. Especially after encountering the French army, they took the initiative to retreat, which made many people, including the French, think that we did not want to conflict directly with them... Therefore, the Japanese only assigned two teams to defend the Jiao Nu Pass, and these two teams became a small team after the Fifth Army withdrew from Guangxi not long ago."
"Very good." Sun Liren nodded at Liu Yisheng, and glared at several division commanders one by one: "A small team of Japanese soldiers is not enough to fight like this? Do you look down on yourself so much?"
“…”
Qi Xueqi, Pan Shuorui and Lu Junquan all shrank back. They all meant that a division almost started arguing about robbing a team of Japanese devils. It was indeed embarrassing. Now is not the time when a few Japanese devils could chase tens of thousands of ** back then.
"Since the three brothers don't like those Japanese devils and military thrones, let me go to this battle." Seeing the three of them retreating embarrassedly, Guo Rugui stood up with a weird smile. Three fools, a small team of Japanese devils of course had nothing to do with them, but whoever crossed the mountain pass first would rush into Vietnam... There are a lot of military achievements there. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
