Chapter 105: Ruili's Great Victory: Yi Di

Vietnam old street.
"General Bruno, I think this battle plan is too risky !!!"
Colonel Colpa, Chief of Staff of the French 17th Division in Vietnam, in the French Interim Operation Center of Lao Cai, looked at the Belgian Major General Bruno, the 17th Division commander of the Far East, in an incredible look. The young men and women had just stubbornly determined a ridiculous battle plan just now.
After being enthusiastically invited by the British, the French, who have been coveted by China for a long time, jumped like Gallic chicken who had been treated, especially Major General Bruno. It was extremely greasy to suppress those farmers all day in Vietnam , Zheng Chou did not have a chance to flex his muscles and gain military exploits.
To assist the British in punishing the Chinese, the Ministry of Defence has long had secret documents, but due to the delay of specific action plans, General Bruno has been extremely depressed in this small Chinese-Vietnamese city for almost a week.
The belated invitation of the British made him see the long-awaited dawn.
General Bruno was an outright French young nationalist officer. In his opinion, the British were not good. Those arrogant English people always regarded themselves as descendants of the Anglo-Saxons, but forgot about them. There were several ancestors before and after. The arrogant peoples on this island are only suitable for naval warfare. They are not suitable for the army, let alone understand the army.
"Captain Colpa, this is an order. If you cannot accept the order, I will regret to announce that your position will be temporarily replaced by Colonel Henry. I will suggest to the Department of Defense an important position like the chief of staff , Should be a senior student from a regular military school. "
He waved his hands, and Bruno made the decision indisputably. The opinion of the chief of staff was conservative and foolish in his opinion. It was a shame for the French Army that this person who had not even entered the military academy could become the division chief of staff. Big hand swing is his most commonly used body language. In his opinion, as a French general who commands thousands of horses, he should be a true knight and noble gentleman.
Colonel Colpa was resentful, and it is undeniable that the general Bruno was not a mediocre, but the biggest problem was being too conceited. This has been Colpa's most regrettable place without going to a military academy. However, his rank and position was not picked up on the ground. It was fought with the Germans on the European battlefield. The Far East general, who graduated from the military academy, was successful in suppressing the peasants. After many false reports of the results, he won over his superiors, and his promotion was faster than himself. Now he wants to kick himself off and kill the great French team.
"General Bruno, it has made a great mistake to abandon the heavy troops. If the two artillery regiments are dropped, the whole division will only leave three infantry regiments and affiliates to enter China. The only result is that it will be trapped by the Chinese. .If I am a lieutenant, then I will certainly detour the poor heavy troops. "Korpa is still trying to fight. For this veteran soldier, the actual combat experience has been worse than this major general who has only hit farmers and bandits. Much more, I can't just watch the French team take risks.
"Damn. Colpa, do you know what you are talking about? The great French army is invincible in the world, and we can even defeat the Germans, the Chinese? They are just like the Vietnamese monkeys, some put down Hoeed farmers and bandits running around the mountain formed the so-called army. "
Bruno was challenged for authority on the spot, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to give you some face. Of course, it is not necessary now. "Korpa, I think you have been ruined by the Germans. The Chinese understand what is Modern tactics? Our intelligence tells us that their warlords are fighting, you fire a few shots, I will end a few shots, backward weapons, training, fighting spirit worse than the peasant army, will be like you said That ’s great? You know, their so-called powerful troops in the north cannot even beat the Japanese monkeys. Our French team is the world's leading army. I will lead those cute guys and defeat the Chinese army all the way. Troops? We broke down the squadron. Do they use bandits to rob the heavy troops? The safe rear will be their best guarantee. As for the supply, when Ruili is reached, the British will naturally provide everything. "
For various reasons, the French received less information about the Southwestern Army than the British, and did not know what was happening across from it, especially the arrogant General Bruno. In his opinion, the artillery troops would then follow up slowly, and they would first enter Kunming with the British. Perhaps, under Kunming City, these artillery units that advance like snails will be useful and not necessarily.
As the chief of staff, Colpa has a much stronger ability to process and analyze intelligence than Bruno. "But the general, the opposite, is no longer the ordinary middle gate, but the southwest army of Zhang Shusheng. From their foreign trade perspective, I think They should have bought back a lot of advanced weapons. Especially the Germans, they must have secretly sold them a lot of advanced weapons and equipment. "
"Kolpa, I don't think you need to worry about this problem. However, for the same reason we hate the Germans, I hope to use a real victory to prove the squadron's combat effectiveness. Weapons alone, not trained Those soldiers will be our trophies. "
General Bruno's idea had been decided. He had planned to leave the Chief of Staff of Colpa to guard the heavy troops. In order to prove his wisdom, he decided to bring Colonel Colpa with him and let him see how he was. The squadron will be defeated all the way to Ruili.
As a result, the great French Major General, General Bruno, marched on the road with supplies for two days, three French soldiers, and nearly 3,000 auxiliary troops. Behind them are the two artillery regiments compiled by the French National People's Congress and the more troublesome logistics support force composed of Vietnamese.
History always makes a joke. The ambitious General Bruno, less than a day after his departure, the British logistical supply base was attacked by dawn at the French French Command.
As a war-fighting variable, the command forwarded this information to General Bruno on the front line as soon as possible. As a result, although the division ’s high-power radio station, which stayed behind with the heavy troops, received this telegram across the mountains, General Bruno ’s low-power radio station suffered a loss. The complex terrain and obstacles were still insufficient for the power of the radio. Until the French army encountered a storm-like strike, they still did not know that the battle situation had sharply changed.
Of course, from the perspective of General Bruno's thinking, it is impossible for the Chinese to fight against the African army with tens of thousands of people. Even if the British were not as good as France in the world, army.
As a result, it is natural that several families are happy and sad, and history once again made a big joke, but this time God has never done the Eastern deities, and there is no limit to heaven!
"General Knox, our heavy artillery regiment has arrived."
When the staff sent the long-awaited news, Major General Knox felt that the grievances of these days had been wiped out. After the temporary supply base was attacked by the despicable and sinister Chinese, he ordered the fiercest offensive since the start of the war.
Over the past two days, tens of thousands of troops have launched onslaughts against Chinese positions almost day and night. As a commander, he knew the situation of the troops.
If it was easy to fight before, and intended to wait for the fighter to break the Chinese defense line, then Major General Knox was completely panicked after the supply ground was raided and the supplies were burned out.
It took at least a week for new supplies to arrive again from Myanmar, and tens of thousands of troops, not to mention the very high consumption of ammunition, the food and medicine alone, had fallen into a sudden shortage. Lack of medicine is not the deadliest. In the opinion of Major General Knox, those war-wounded personnel are already unable to fight. Food is the biggest problem.
The border villages of the Chinese all around were empty, and even the door panels were taken away by the Chinese. If you were not convinced that this was a population gathering place a week ago, Major General Knox would almost think that the bandits had ransacked the village.
The troops that went out searched all the edible things that could be seen in the ground, drained the water in the ditch, caught fish and shrimp, and even hunted in the mountain nests.
However, food reserves are still declining irresistibly. Nutritional dairy and legume products, and cocoa beans are all consumed. What tens of thousands of people eat three times a day can directly make General Knox so anxious that he wants to pull a gun and commit suicide.
If the Chinese defense line cannot be broken during this time, the entire battle plan will be delayed for more than a week, plus the time wasted before, then this war may not be able to end for one month or two months.
"A French division has already set off from a military camp on the Vietnamese border."
The words of the staff made General Knox rejoice again. He was worried about the lack of troops. There was a division Frenchman to help him, and he was a traditional British and French ally, so he did n’t have to ask for reinforcements from the British British Command in India Already.
"However, they gave up all their weight, and even both artillery regiments were left behind by Major Bruno."
However, the staff's supplementary explanation made the old Knox old man smell an unusual taste. This French guy's idea of ​​grabbing power is too anxious. How can he ignore the heavy troops and just drive in with the captain of the combat unit?
Almost a few hundred miles of attack, even if the other party arrived near Ruili within two days, in the middle, would the sly Chinese wait for the French to support themselves.
General Knox was a little hesitant. In his prediction, whether the French would stay still or send an elite army division to support themselves, it would be a Chinese nightmare. At that time, he would put himself behind for precautions. After another Indian brigade has also caught up, it will have an army of more than 50,000 people, and it will not be a problem to sweep the entire southwest.
But now, the situation seems to be getting worse.
"Telegram for the French and try to contact General Bruno. We need accurate combat cooperation." General Knox let go of his doubts. In any case, the heavy artillery came up, and he would launch a general attack today and win it in one fell swoop. Chinese positions. "My lads, let's prepare the evening offensive plan. Damn Chinese, I will hit them back and forth with a cannon to let them know that the glory of the empire is not insulted by these yellow-skinned monkeys."
"Chairman, the British seem to be preparing for a new round of attack. The Longya special forces brigade eliminated the enemy's scouts and grabbed a few tongues. From the information obtained, it seems that the enemy's attack was unprecedentedly fierce. . Gu Xin will even dispatch the Royal Gurkha Regiment. "
The words of the intelligence staff left Zhang Shusheng in deep thought, but for a long time, he had figured it out, and the British were in a hurry. They want to do their best in a battle, they want to break the line in a battle.
So, has the British long-awaited heavy artillery regiment arrived?
"The Ruili airport was ordered to immediately take off the reconnaissance plane, and the bomber units were ready to go to battle at any time. Once the British artillery regiment was found, it would be resolutely eliminated."
Zhang Shusheng knew very well that at this time, even if he could not wait for the opponent's artillery group to fire, he would have to dispatch the air force. Waiting for the opportunity blindly was not the answer. Even if no opponent's heavy artillery regiment was found this time, the Air Force had to use offense as a means to cooperate with the second division, which was already obviously in a weak position, to complete this increasingly difficult fight.
However, he also understood that if the main three divisions, or all the guards composed of elite officers and soldiers, played this battle, of course, it should be smoother. The Guardian Division was based on the reserve force and formed a unit that was only more than six months old. Even if the Southwest Army's previous reserve force was well-trained, the combat effectiveness was reduced, and the overall combat effectiveness of the unit was affected.
"I hope these veterans of Yunnan and Guangxi can withstand the test of the war, otherwise, they can only go home to farm." Although the reports obtained from various parties show that these veterans have good oil performance, Zhang Shusheng is still waiting for the post-war As a result, once the results were detrimental to these Diangui old people, Zhang Shusheng could only send them a severance payment and go home to support the elderly, which is better than delaying the Southwest Army and sending his own life.
"Everyone moves quickly. If you don't want to die, give Lao Tzu time to dig."
After a few days of fierce fighting, the second division's head position was hit by mountain guns, mortars, and even heavy machine gun bullets. After the grenade was plowed over and over again, the simple structure of the position had lost its reliability.
The fluffy soil was full of collapsed trenches, and the second division was already building positions for the third time. Fortunately, the first line of defense and the second line of defense behind it were nearly 700 meters apart. The first line of defense stepped back a little and became the second line of defense.
Tie Sangan had grabbed the engineer's shovel next to him, yelling at the soldiers near and far, while shirtless shaking his muscles and digging the trenches.
He almost never angered the soldiers, only about the soldiers' life and death. Every time he would scold his subordinates like his grandson, but he still took the main reason, or he would have been cleaned up by Zhang Shusheng.
The forefinger has issued an emergency order to strengthen the second division's defense line. The second division with 1,126 casualties is imminent. If you don't hurry to strengthen the new position, the casualties will be unavoidable.
The Southwest Army also relied on heavy weapon guns, grenades, and various artillery guns to defend the trenches against warfare. Nowadays, let alone the tens of thousands of British teams, that is, the tens of thousands of pigs launching a charge against the position, it will also be a huge test.
Once the frustration fails, let alone the British dumplings, the entire second division may be defeated or even dumped dumplings.
Therefore, this time must not lose, not just Tiesangan, even Zhuge Sheng ran to the front line.
"After the heavy artillery regiment covered the Chinese forward position, the heavy machine gun bunkers were removed, and the attack will officially begin. This time, the frontal combat mission will be an independent Indian brigade as the vanguard and the fourth division One regiment is responsible for follow-up offensive missions, and the second regiment of the fourth division is ready to support and follow-up. Indian divisions attack from the left and Royal Gurkha breaks through the Chinese defense line from the right. The third regiment will serve as the general reserve ... "
In order to break through the Chinese defense line at a stretch, General Knox has lost sight of the casualties. In the past few days, the number of casualties of the Indians and the British combined has exceeded the 4,000 mark. What I need to do is rely on heavy artillery to suppress the frontier positions in a concentrated way, and to break through the resistance position of the Chinese with only one division.
"The Chinese must be unstoppable." General Knox seems to have seen the dawn, and he is waiting for the heavy artillery regiment. Once the heavy artillery regiment can effectively remove the dense heavy machine gun bunkers on the Chinese position, he can accept the comparison. Low degree of combat damage. "At 4.11 pm, the artillery regiment launched a shelling to target the Chinese frontier position. Ten minutes of artillery preparations started, and the troops began to attack in an orderly manner."
However, what General Knox did not know was that, over Ruili, a J-1 fighter modified J-1 double-seat reconnaissance aircraft circled a large circle and finally flew to the rear of the British at a high angle. Circled to reconnaissance.
Ten minutes later, when the fighter plane swept across a forest, they finally found a strange protrusion in the forest, with a tight heart for no reason. The specially trained investigator rubbed his eyes and picked up the special telescope again to carefully investigate Rising, it turned out to be a gun barrel, and then, from the dense forest that passed by ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he found more and more obscure long tubes that did not belong to this jungle. Every cannon, Pointed in the direction of Qiongzhen.
Resisting the huge surprise in his heart, the air scout tried to report to the radio station in his solemn tone: "Front finger, front finger, I am Asuka No. 1 and found the French artillery group and the French artillery group. Location ... "
The plane flew far, and the British in the woods did not see it at all. For the sake of confidentiality, the artillery groups in the jungle covered themselves and blocked their sight.
Only a British sergeant who ran peeing in the distance looked up to see a plane in the distance. Damn, he only climbed from the jungle to China for more than a week before and after. But, unfortunately, the Chinese did not have the air force to give them a chance, and lost the opportunity to show their strength. However, looking down again to see that he was covered in mud, his heart was still unbalanced. The birds of the Air Force flew up to watch the show. He was also a gentleman, but he could only build artillery positions below. u! u !! "

I originally prepared the 4D chapters and wrote them all at once, but there was a little delay. I could only change the 5,000 purple first, and I will update tomorrow. v
