Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh suppression
"Hitler is really confused. Instead of wiping out the British's effective forces, he bombs their cities. Doesn't he know that those cities are protected by anti-aircraft artillery units?" In the office, he looked at the text sent by Xiao Feipeng and others in France.
After receiving the telegram, Su Tong felt a little helpless. According to what later generations would say, the wheel of history was still rolling forward steadily, and the wings of his own butterfly were still too small.
"Jianming, Hitler is very discerning, but his shortcoming is that he is too arrogant and cannot tolerate provocation from others." Jiang Baili sighed at the side. Su Tong, who was familiar with the direction of the air battle over the British Isles, had already asked Xiao Feipeng and other people who went to France to remind him.
The Germans did not expect that Hitler could not withstand Churchill's teasing, and suddenly fell into Churchill's trick. This made Su Tong, who wanted to use the Germans to weaken the British strength, couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Ignore him, let's study the things around us." Jiang Baili shook his head, pulled out a map, placed it in front of the two of them and said: "North Korea has been successfully recovered. We are in Jeju Island and Qingjin.
The two naval bases in Hong Kong have also been built. Since the landing craft and a series of preparations have not been completed, I estimate that the recovery of Taiwan will not be carried out until next year. Then should our attention turn to the south?"
Su Tong looked at where Jiang Baili was pointing and nodded: "Well, since the French forced the Qing government to sign the Sino-French New Treaty in 1885 to recognize Vietnam's reading ability, Vietnam has become a French colony. Now the French
It’s already a waste, so naturally we can’t let go of this good opportunity to catch a drowned dog. Aren’t our several mountain divisions already finished training? It’s time to let them move around.”
In the dense forest on the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi, a group of soldiers armed with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and wearing jungle camouflage uniforms walked vigilantly in the dense tropical jungle. The two leading soldiers also held special machetes in front of them.
Open the way, they are the mountain troops that Su Tong specially ordered to set up two years ago.
In Su Tong's vision, the area in the south bordering Vietnam, Laos and other countries was not suitable for the movements and operations of heavy armored groups. Therefore, it was necessary to establish a light force specialized in fighting in jungles, hills and mountains, so the Mountain Division was conceived.
gave birth.
The newly established Mountain Division has only three infantry divisions, with numbers from 77th to 79th. Each division has 12,000 people. It is divided into three combat regiments and a light support artillery regiment. The artillery regiment equipment
The artillery is mainly light 105-caliber howitzers and 75-caliber infantry artillery, which have the ability to travel in jungles and mountains. The infantry is given priority to be equipped with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Somi that have withstood the test in actual combat.
Submachine gun.
Su Tong also gave special instructions on the recruitment of troops for the Mountain Division. The main provinces for recruiting troops are Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Many people in these three provinces have grown up in the mountains and jungles and are very interested in mountain climbing.
Climbing trees has a natural advantage. For example, the former Guangxi troops were called monkey soldiers. Although their height is generally not as tall as the soldiers in the north, they are extremely good at climbing trees and drilling into caves.
When fighting in mountainous jungles, the mountain division's recruitment will naturally be based on troops from these provinces.
At this time, a soldier walking in front waved the sharp machete in his hand, and a cold light flashed, a snake head fell to the ground, and the long body of a mountain wind snake suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
In front of them, looking at the colorful snake body and flat triangular snake head that were still twisting on the ground, everyone knew how terrible the consequences would be if bitten by this poisonous snake.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the commander at the back gave a thumbs up to the leading soldier leading the way, and then motioned for the team to continue moving forward.
This place already belongs to the territory of Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam, and one of the few French troops stationed in Vietnam is stationed here.
This unit that is marching to Dien Bien Phu belongs to a battalion of the 77th Mountain Division of the Chinese National Defense Force. It is also the pilot unit of the first mountain division. Since they have been trained for the longest time, the officers and soldiers have the best degree of integration.
Therefore, the task of opening a road to regain Vietnam was given to them.
The team marched into an open valley, and the commander at the head signaled the soldiers to stop and rest. So, except for the soldiers who were on guard duty, they all stopped for a temporary rest.
A sergeant major looked up at the setting sun, which had begun to set, and said worriedly to the leading major officer: "Sir, it's getting dark. Should we find a place to rest for the night before moving forward tomorrow?
, otherwise it would be too dangerous to march late at night, and non-combat attrition would occur if we marched at night."
"No." The major shook his head, "If we can't arrive at Dien Bien Phu before dawn tomorrow, we won't be able to indicate the target for the air force. Then the 1st Airborne Division will have no choice but to forcibly parachute without guidance. That way their
The casualties will be unprecedentedly heavy. You must remember that our battalion must arrive at Dien Bien Phu Airport before dawn no matter what, so as to prepare for the 1st Airborne Division to clear the ground passage and occupy the airport."
"yes"
At Dien Bien Phu Airport, Major General Wimbol, the French Consul General in Vietnam, stood beside the airport runway, watching a transport plane soaring into the sunset, and a trace of melancholy flashed through his heart.
With the defeat of France and the rise of the Vietnamese Socialist Party led by Ho Chi Minh, the reading movement in Vietnam was in full swing. The French Vietnamese colony, which had lost local support, was becoming more and more difficult. So far, the whole of Vietnam has also
Only Dien Bien Phu and Saigon were still in French hands.
"It's such an eventful season." Major General Wimble sighed, and was about to return to his office when a second lieutenant hurried over to report: "General, there is news in the city that the Vietnamese are starting to make trouble again.
, they organized strikes and demonstrations in the city, and people from the Vietnamese Socialist Party also took the opportunity to cause sabotage in the city. Major Ottawa called and asked for additional reinforcements and authorized him to fire freely."
"These damn yellow-skinned monkeys really won't give me peace for a moment." Major General Wimble cursed bitterly, "Order Major Ottawa to use high-pressure water cannons and tear gas to suppress him. I will have the third battalion immediately enter the city to support him.
"Yes, and" Major General Wemball hesitated for a moment and then showed a hint of ferocity: "Tell Major Ottawa that you can shoot and suppress the mob if necessary. Dien Bien Phu cannot be chaotic again."
In Dien Bien Phu, tens of thousands of Vietnamese people were gathering on the streets for large-scale demonstrations. They shouted slogans such as "The French get out of Vietnam" and "We want freedom" and marched towards the Dien Bien Phu City Ax Building.
The French army approaches.
The French army stationed at the Municipal Ax Building only has a battalion of more than 300 people. Compared with the tens of thousands of Vietnamese, it is like a small sampan in the sea and may be swallowed by the waves at any time. Facing the overwhelming Vietnamese,
The commander, Major Ottawa, could only order the soldiers to continuously fire tear gas and spray high-pressure hoses. But just now a soldier came to report that the water pipe of the high-pressure hose had been cut by those damn Vietnamese. Without the barrier of the high-pressure hose, the water pipe of the high-pressure hose was cut.
Using tear gas to drive away tens of thousands of Vietnamese people who have been aroused by their emotions is really beyond the capabilities of the person.
"Sir, the Vietnamese are getting closer and closer to our municipal building. Our soldiers can hardly hold it anymore. The company commander asked me to ask you for permission to shoot." A soldier panted and ran towards Major Ottawa.
Report.
Major Ottawa gritted his teeth but could not make a decision for the moment. At this time, another soldier arrived, "Sir, Major General Wimble ordered you to open fire when necessary to protect our property and personal safety from infringement."
"Great." After receiving the authorization, Major Ottawa immediately grabbed a metal microphone and shouted to the crowd in front: "Everyone listen, I am the commander here, Major Ottawa, and I order you to stop advancing immediately, otherwise
I have the right to shoot you."
"All soldiers have them, loaded with bullets."
"Wow!"
After hearing the order, the French soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, and the ammunition handlers quickly loaded the ammunition belts on the machine guns, posing as if they were ready to fire at any time.
At this time, in a corner of the street, several Vietnamese wearing straw hats were gathering around an old man to discuss ideas. "Comrade Ho Chi Minh, the French have brought out all the machine guns. Should we let the masses retreat first?"
, otherwise if you push them into a hurry, they will really shoot."
Ho Chi Minh waved his hands and said: "Comrades, we must not be frightened by the French's broken guns. The more the French raise their butcher knives and rifles, the more they prove their cowardice. We must never
We cannot shrink from this. On the contrary, at this time, we must stand up and use our blood to prove our loyalty to the people. We"
"Da da da"
As soon as Ho Chi Minh finished speaking, a crisp sound of machine gunfire began to resound in the streets, corresponding to the sound of the French standard rifle mas 7.5mm m 1936.
The sudden gunshots quickly calmed down the minds of the people who had been incited to excitement, and what followed was heartfelt fear.
The Reibel machine gun installed on more than a dozen commanding heights poured rain of bullets towards the street with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute. The crowds in front were shot and fell to the ground. There was chaos on the street, and countless people were crying and shouting.
Rushing backwards, trampling will inevitably happen
