Nguyen Hung is the nephew of Vietnamese Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap. Others believe that his ability to become the commander of the First Division of the Capital City of Vietnam at the age of thirty is related to the halo around his head. However, Nguyen Hung has always been dismissive of this statement.
No, before he became a division commander, Ruan Xiong followed Vo Nguyen Giap and Ho Chi Minh to engage in armed riots in Vietnam. Although he was always beaten badly by the French, Ruan Xiong never thought that it was because of his incompetent command.
But there are aircraft and cannons. If I, Ruan Xiong, could drive away the French with a few broken guns, then I, Ruan Xiong, would not have to live in a poor place like Vietnam. The Germans would also rush to hire me as a military adviser.
Well now, the French were finally driven away by the brave Vietnamese people. Although they finally surrendered to the Chinese army, this does not negate the credit of the Vietnamese people. After the Labor Party formed the New Deal, it immediately used Cam Ranh Bay and
The land north of Hanoi returned to China the equipment of five infantry divisions. Ruan Xiong and his men, who had used old sleeves, broadswords and spears for many years, finally replaced the cannons with Japanese 38-guns. All of a sudden, they
This made Ruan Xiong and Vietnam's senior officials tremble. No, not long ago, someone put themselves on the map of Asia's military power.
However, after having fought with the French for so many years, he still had two skills. It took him only half a year to train the First Division of the Capital into a first-class army in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap were very satisfied with this.
Nguyen Hung's first division was placed in Saigon specifically to defend the capital.
Just now, when Stuka dive bombers were bombing around the embassy, Nguyen Hung and his troops also heard the faint explosions coming from the city center. Then they received a call from Vo Nguyen Giap, in which Vo Nguyen Giap sternly ordered Nguyen Hung to lead the troops immediately
Entering Saigon and killing all the overseas Chinese in the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam. Ruan Xiong never discounted Vo Nguyen Giap's orders. After receiving the order, Ruan Xiong immediately gathered his troops and marched into the city.
Seeing the soldiers around him carrying brand-new 38 caps and carrying polished Type 92 heavy machine guns walking proudly on the street, Ruan Xiong felt indescribable pride in his heart. This was what he had trained with his own hands.
The army, now I am going to take them on a killing spree.
But what Ruan Xiong didn't know was that the road from the suburbs to the city of Saigon was not that easy to walk. When a team of 12,000 people lined up in four columns and marched towards the embassy from four streets, there was another wave in the sky.
There was a low buzzing sound.
"Asshole, the damn plane is coming again."
Ruan Xiong knows the power of airplanes. Just now, more than 10,000 mobs were blown up by airplanes in the sky. Some groaned in pain, and seeing some chaos suddenly appeared in the team that was originally walking neatly, Ruan Xiong
Xiong reluctantly issued an order to hide on the spot. But unfortunately, the troops were marching on the streets now, and they were still on foot. The Capital Division was not yet a battle-experienced unit, so as soon as this order was issued, the troops were like
They were running around in the streets like sheep.
"Call base, call base, I am Red Squadron 13. I have arrived in Saigon city and found that the Vietnamese army is heading towards our embassy. Please tell me how to deal with it."
The voice in the headset paused for a while and then a cold sentence came over, "Do you still need to ask for instructions? The purpose of this Vietnamese army going to the embassy is not to treat guests to dinner, right? Kill them all for me."
"Understood, destroy them all"
"All units listen to my order and open the hatches immediately"
Ruan Xiong on the ground had no idea that his and this unit's fate would be decided in just a few words.
The buzzing sound coming from the sky became louder and louder, and soon thirty-six huge black shadows appeared at low altitude. They were B17 heavy bombers deployed at the Cam Ranh Bay base. This type of heavy bomber is famous for its large bomb load.
Famous for its eight-ton bomb load, it is the first of its kind among bombers in the world.
Looking at the bombers flying lower and slower, no matter how stupid Ruan Xiong was, he could guess what they were going to do. Terrified, he looked at the sky in despair and murmured: "Damn Chinese people!
They didn’t even give us anti-aircraft weapons.”
Heavy bombers with a large bomb load would naturally not be as "stingy" as Stuka dive bombers when dropping bombs. Dozens of heavy bombers flew all the way and hovered at low altitude above the capital's 1st Division.
"bomb"
With a deep sound, a long string of black bombs fell out from the open hatch of the B17.
"Bombing quickly and concealment"
A Vietnamese army officer stood on the street and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him. A second later, an aerial bomb exploded next to him. With a violent explosion, all the soldiers within a radius of fifty meters were
In an instant, it was torn into pieces by shrapnel. Various shapes of human body fragments and internal organs, guns, military uniforms, and backpacks were thrown up to a height of thirty meters, and then scattered in different trajectories among the surrounding infantry teams.
A large hole was left on the ground that was five meters deep and about ten meters in diameter.
As if they had made an appointment, more and more bombs exploded around them, and countless Vietnamese soldiers were blown into pieces by the bombs and flying in the air. The soldiers who originally got into the house to escape the bombing sadly discovered that in China
Hiding in a house under the bombardment of people will only make you die faster. The Chinese planes don't care whether there are civilians inside. Their aerial bombs will just drop all the way down.
If you encounter a small bomb of 50 kilograms, it will be better. The building will just collapse. If you encounter a heavy bomb of 500 kilograms, both people and buildings within a radius of 200 meters will be reduced to powder under the violent shock wave.
"My troops are my Capital Division 1." Ruan Xiong was pinned to the ground by two guards and punched the ground hard with both hands. His fingertips had been dug into blood and he was still unconscious.
The Vietnamese, who had never experienced being bombed by heavy bombers, finally had a taste of what is called saturation bombing. Thirty-six heavy bombers carried nearly 300 tons of high-explosive bombs surrounding the capital within three square kilometers.
The First Division began to bombard the enemy indiscriminately.
The violent explosions and the black smoke rising into the sky seemed like an angry God of Thunder releasing his anger. The thirty-six bombers formed a circle with tacit understanding and conducted a detailed screening from outside to inside.
All the buildings behind them collapsed, leaving behind countless broken rocks and helpless and wailing soldiers lying on the ground.
After several rounds of detailed screening and bombing, the 1st Capital Division, which had high hopes from the top leaders of the Vietnamese government, was removed from the list. When the B17 returned after dropping the bombs half an hour later, the number of people remaining in the originally majestic Capital was already insufficient.
There were two thousand people.
The division commander Ruan Xiong who was lucky enough to survive was already on the verge of collapse. He stood blankly on the corner of a wall that had been blown down. He looked at the ruins of the ruined rocks everywhere, which looked like a hell on earth. He was in a daze and just kept squirming at the corners of his mouth.
He murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"How could this happen?" Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap were among those who expressed the same emotion as Ruan Xiong. After receiving the news that the Capital Division's entire army was almost wiped out, there was a group of dumbfounded people in the conference room.
After a long time, Ho Chi Minh shouted, "How could they do this?"
It was originally well planned to incite the people to oppose the overseas Chinese in Vietnam, smash and loot for a few days, wait until the Chinese government negotiates with them about the Vietnamese government, and then come out to clean up the mess in order to get the maximum benefit. If the Chinese government has anything
He could also excuse his complaints by saying that it was a spontaneous act by the masses and was not the original intention of the Vietnamese government.
Yes, it is the spontaneous behavior of the masses. This is the will of the people. What a good excuse. The Vietnamese Workers' Party, which has always relied on mass work, is already familiar with this. There is no problem at all in doing it. It sends some departments
People incited the crowd and then slowly warmed it up. It was no big deal to occasionally let them participate in smashing, smashing and looting. However, the development of the gaffe was beyond the expectations of the Vietnamese government. The people who got the sweetness quickly developed into a mob.
, they forget that robbery, murder and arson have been linked since ancient times.
When the uncontrolled people became jealous, their actions finally angered the Chinese government, and the Chinese government finally sent troops directly. The method of sending troops was so naked, and they directly used planes to kill the mobs who were furious.
They were destroyed. And he and the political officials foolishly sent the First Division of the Capital into the city to retaliate. This move finally made the Chinese people cruel, and the next revenge move will definitely be even crazier.
"Reporting" to Ho Chi Minh's secretary, a young man in his twenties hurried in.
"Chairman Hu, there's a call from the Hanoi Defense Line," the secretary said with a slightly green face.
"Tell me, no matter how bad the news is, I can bear it now." Ho Chi Minh smiled bitterly. After experiencing the annihilation of an elite infantry division and the death of more than 10,000 people, what else could he not bear?
"Chairman Hu," the secretary smacked his lips and said hesitantly: "Report from the front. This morning, China dispatched more than 300,000 troops from Dien Bien Phu, Lang Son and other directions to launch a fierce attack on us. The troops stationed in Hanoi
General Nguyen Chi Minh can no longer hold back, and now they are retreating to the south."
"China is going to destroy our country." Ho Chi Minh sighed sadly. Now his mind has finally sobered up from the grief. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the newly established Vietnamese government might have trouble.
The danger of national destruction.
Although Hu was not a soldier, he also knew that the few remaining miscellaneous divisions in Vietnam would not be able to withstand the wolf-like tiger attack of the Chinese army.
Looking at the black smoke still rising outside the window, Ho Chi Minh said sadly and helplessly: "Hurry up and contact the ambassador in China to discuss surrender."
