Chapter 117: Victorious Withdrawal
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu calendar turned to March 4th, and in the front headquarters located behind the front line, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly heard the angry roar of the chief commander:
"These death-fearing ghosts in the headquarters are worried about the Soviet attack? If they had attacked, they would have been attacked, and now Lao Tzu has taken Liangshan City, and then to the south is Pingchuan, and only one charge of the tank regiment can take Hanoi, are these guys who are staring at the map of the General Staff every day blind?"
The roar of the chief of the general command made several senior officers of the front-line general headquarters standing opposite him all frightened, and they all lowered their heads one by one, not daring to make even the slightest sound, and the chief of the general command left his seat and paced back and forth in front of the desk with a gloomy face behind his back, and I don't know how long later, the chief of the general command stopped and said in a deep voice to his confidential secretary:
"Go, send another telegram to the headquarters, and explain our opinion!"
"This" Listening to the words of the chief commander, the confidential secretary hesitated, but did not move, and when the chief of the chief saw this, his eyes couldn't help but widen:
"Didn't you hear me clearly?"
"I heard it clearly, but but"
"But what? There are things to say and fart, and he doesn't look like a soldier!" Seeing the hesitant appearance of the confidential secretary, the chief of the general finger was already very impatient between his words, and the confidential secretary could naturally hear it, so as soon as the chief of the general secretary's voice fell, the confidential secretary mustered up the courage to speak:
"Chief, we have sent eight similar telegrams since yesterday, but the tone of the headquarters' reply is both firm and clear, so"
Although the confidential secretary did not finish his words, everyone present could guess what was going to be said later, and the chief of the chief who was standing opposite him knew it, so the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief muttered for a moment and waved his hand to the people opposite, signaling them to go out, and after the last person left his office and closed the door, the chief of the chief couldn't wait to grab the telephone receiver on the table:
"Pick me up the old commander!"
As soon as the chief of the chief's voice fell, the operator on the other end of the earpiece began to be busy, and about a few minutes later, a familiar voice with a slight southwest accent sounded in the earpiece of the chief of the chief, and as a result, the chief of the chief couldn't help but straighten his waist and hold the earpiece and said respectfully:
"Old army commander, it's me! I have already received the order from the headquarters, but you also know that the south of Liangshan is now a plain, and the tanks and artillery that we belong to can just come in handy, as long as you can take Hanoi in less than two days, it is the old army commander, or you will let me arch forward again? Just arch like that!"
As soon as the chief commander's voice fell, he heard a voice in the earpiece suddenly increase in popularity: "What is an arch? Don't come with me to that trick that will not be subject to foreign military orders, tell you that the Soviet Union has begun to stir on the northern border, and the entire Sanbei is almost out of breath, and we must not dwell on this issue for too long, otherwise we will inevitably mess up and interrupt the reform and opening up policy that has just been formulated!"
"Understood, I obey the order and obey the overall situation!" Listening to the voice of the infighting in the earpiece, even the chief commander of the general command who had experienced the war did not come close to wipe the cold sweat on his face: "It's that I understand but the old army commander, there is still a batch of machinery and equipment in Liangshan that has not been shipped, do you see it? Okay, I promise to withdraw it before mid-March, okay I understand!"
After the chief commander put down the phone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but more of his eyes were full of unwillingness, but as a soldier, he had to obey orders and obey the overall situation of the country, so after pondering for a while, he called the confidential secretary in, and then one after another orders turned into telegrams and flew out from the front headquarters
At the same time, the rumbling artillery on the Liangshan front line lasted for a long time, and the counterattack troops of the Vietnamese army had been attacking for a day, and the artillery of our army kept bombarding the follow-up echelons of the Vietnamese army, and the infantry launched a counter-assault with fierce artillery fire, completely smashing the Vietnamese army's attacks again and again.
In this front-line area, where the sound of artillery shook the sky and the sound of killing was everywhere, Lu Jiadong, together with the officers and men of several automobile regiments and railway corps who had arrived a few days ago, dismantled and loaded all kinds of receiving and unloading equipment from the interior of the Vietnamese military factory and transferred it to the country.
However, nearly a third of the machinery and equipment have not been delivered, and the time has come to March 4th, and others may not know what this day means, but Lu Jiadong, who is a glorious crossing party, is very clear that after this day, China will publicly announce the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam.
Because of this, Lu Jiadong felt extremely urgent, almost all the time in the Vietnamese military factory to implement the transfer, fortunately Lu Jiadong had a plan before, the railway troops were working overtime, on the morning of March 4, a simple railway directly connected the Vietnamese military factory and the main line, so that the capacity of the transfer machinery and equipment was doubled, if the action is fast, it will be all transported before the 6th.
"I don't know if the front-line headquarters can make it to the 6th!" Looking at the sweaty dismantling and handling of the machinery and equipment by the officers and soldiers, Lu Jiadong's heart fell into deep worry, and he couldn't help but look at the sound of artillery in the south, and muttered to himself.
"Jiadong, Jiadong~~" Just when Lu Jiadong was stunned, Wu Tianming shouted while running over, and when he saw Lu Jiadong, he didn't wait to take a breath, so he said eagerly:
"Jiadong, our company has just received an order, let us cooperate with our brother troops to cross the Qiqiao River to establish a bridgehead on the opposite bank and guard there!"
"Staying there, is it for the sake of"
"That's right, it's just to cover your retreat as soon as possible!" Without waiting for Lu Jiadong to finish speaking, Wu Tianming said: "I came here to tell you, retreat how you want, don't be stupid and blow things up, always refer to the chief still cares about these machinery and equipment in his heart!"
Listening to Wu Tianming's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but nodded, but Wu Tianming looked at his watch and quickly patted Lu Jiadong's shoulder:
"I have to leave quickly, you have to be safe!"
"You too!" When Lu Jiadong said this, Wu Tianming had already run far away, and it wasn't until the moment when his back was about to disappear that Wu Tianming's long voice sounded in Lu Jiadong's ears:
"Don't worry"
In this way, in order to cover the transfer of materials such as machinery and equipment from the Vietnamese military factories and the withdrawal of the logistics department of the troops, the squadron with the assault division as the core suddenly launched an attack on the Vietnamese army under the cover of artillery fire, and broke through the Vietnamese defense line on the same day, and crossed the Qiqi River, and the farthest troops even rushed across the area of more than ten kilometers on the other side of the river.
The sudden attack of the squadron was suddenly blinded by the Vietnamese authorities, and they thought that the squadron was preparing to attack Hanoi, so they hurriedly mobilized troops to strengthen the defense of Hanoi, and the Vietnamese army, which had originally carried out a counterattack, was also required to stop the offensive and turn to the defense on the spot, and the people of Hanoi were even more required to be soldiers.
Although the Vietnamese ruling authorities actively deployed the defense of Hanoi, the Vietnamese high-level who had long been frightened quietly fled from Hanoi and rushed towards Ho Chi Minh City in the south.
The reaction of the Vietnamese people was also unexpected by our army, I did not expect that the Vietnamese ruling authorities would be so timid and afraid, just crossing the Qiqiao River scared them into a fart, and fled towards Ho Chi Minh City, perhaps the reaction of the Vietnamese army was somewhat unexpected, but this is also in line with the strategic goal of our army, after all, the contraction of the Vietnamese army will make the materials and personnel retreating from the rear of our army more calmly to the country.
Although the commanders and fighters on the front line were actively defending to cover the retreat in the rear, Lu Jiadong and the others did not slack off because they had plenty of time, because they knew that these hours were bought for them by the commanders and fighters on the front line with their flesh and blood, and if they delayed even a little time, they might destroy the precious life of a soldier.
Because of this, Lu Jiadong and they are speeding up the things in hand, whether it is dismantling or loading the time is greatly shortened, but the efficiency of the work has been greatly improved, after an all-night continuous battle, when the last car slowly headed north, Lu Jiadong couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, and then the watch on his wrist, the time pointed to 11:30 on March 5.
At this time, the south bank of the Qi Poor River was already full of gunfire, and the Vietnamese army, which had already turned on the taste, began to frantically counterattack our army, but the Vietnamese army was still a step late, and when the Vietnamese army launched an attack, our army received the news that the rear was all evacuated, so as early as a few minutes before the Vietnamese artillery attack, our army withdrew to the north bank of the Qi Poor River.
When the Vietnamese attacking force rushed to the south bank, our artillery that had already marked the shooting of Zhu Yuan instantly covered the Vietnamese army on the south bank, and after knocking out the spearhead of the Vietnamese army's attack, our army began to retreat calmly, and at the same time, China's official media solemnly announced to the world:
The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam has achieved the established strategic goal, and the squadron will begin to withdraw its troops one after another from now on.
All this seems to be a normal thing, but what everyone didn't expect was that it was these blurry black and white photos that caused the whole world to shake
