Chapter 331: Battle of Nanding (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recommended Tickets)
Standing in front of the window, looking at the starry sky in the southwest, Yang Weiping held his elbow with his left hand and a cigar between the two fingers of his right hand, smoking while pondering his thoughts.
The establishment of the Panshi sub-base in Southeast Asia is a strategic goal that Yang Weiping has determined when he took over the Somalia Peninsula base from the British army.
After entering the 80s, this world will be particularly lively, and the local wars will continue, which is the golden age of the rapid development of the rock mercenaries.
When the time comes, we will have to build another rock sub-base in Central and South America.
Hoping that God can bless Sister Fang and Tongtong safely, Yang Weiping prayed silently in his heart.
If Sister Fang can take over the power of the rock and command those proud soldiers from all over the world, this unintentional move is of course the result that Yang Weiping hopes to get the most.
The war launched against Annan is basically developing according to Yang Weiping's initial expectations.
The mountainous areas of northern Annam, which are rich in mineral resources, are absolutely impossible to give back to the Annam monkeys.
In order to achieve this goal, Yang Weiping even did not hesitate to use the power in his hands, and without asking for instructions and approval, he arbitrarily transferred a number of technical personnel and workers from the major military industrial enterprises in China to take over the thermal power plants, hydropower stations, smelters, gun repair shops, chemical plants, cement factories, coal mines, textile factories, and other industrial and mining production enterprises that China built for Annan in those years.
Yang Weiping once calculated that in the twenty-eight years from 1950 to 1978, China's total aid to Annan monkeys was worth more than 20 billion US dollars, which was converted into gold and is now worth more than 5 trillion yuan!
From 1950, when Ho Chi Minh asked China for help, to 1978, when the two countries were at loggerheads, and when China completely withdrew its aid, China's assistance to Annam's white-eyed wolves was roughly divided into four stages:
From 1950 to 1954, he aided Vietnam to resist France, during which military assistance was the mainstay;
From 1954 to 1964, he assisted in the construction of Annam's white-eyed wolf after independence;
From 1965 to 1973, it aided Vietnam to resist the United States and provided comprehensive and huge assistance;
1973-1978 Helped in its post-war reconstruction.
Material assistance. From 1950 to 1978, China provided a total of 20,368.45 million yuan (RMB) in various kinds of aid to Vietnam to resist France, Vietnam to resist the United States and help it rebuild.
Among them, the amount of general material assistance was 10,067.42 million yuan. It accounts for about 50% of the total aid, including 5 million tons of food, 2 million tons of oil, 35,000 cars, and more than 600 ships;
The amount of military aid was 4,966.79 million yuan, accounting for 24 percent of the total aid. Including 2.138 million guns, more than 70,000 cannons, 1.24 billion rounds of guns and ammunition, and 18.07 million rounds of artillery shells. 176 ships, 552 medium and amphibious tanks, 320 armored transport vehicles. There are more than 170 aircraft, 18,240 tons of explosives, 65,000 wired motors, 35,000 radios, and 11,170,000 sets of military uniforms...... It can equip 2 million people, which is about 4.26 billion yuan.
The aid for complete projects amounted to 3,626.19 million yuan, accounting for 18% of the total aid. Of the 450 construction projects, 339 have been completed, including complete sets of equipment for light and heavy industrial factories, hospitals, and research institutes, and 635 million yuan in cash aid has been granted, accounting for 8% of the total. In particular, in the face of a shortage of foreign exchange, China has also provided hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange for the mobile use of Annan's white-eyed wolf.
June 9, 1965. By March 1968, a total of 23 detachments, 95 brigades, and 83 squads had entered Vietnam, totaling more than 320,000 people, with the highest year being more than 170,000.
China's support units have scored brilliant results, including air defense combat units that have fought more than 2,150 air battles, shooting down 1,707 enemy planes and damaging 1,608 enemy planes.
The engineering support unit has built more than 25,600 meters of tunnels and more than 300 fortifications of various kinds; built or rebuilt 7 highways with a length of 1,206 kilometers; built 117 kilometers of railways, rebuilt 362 kilometers of railways, and rushed to build 98 kilometers of temporary bridges; built 1 airport, built 2 aircraft caverns, erected 330 kilometers of land communication lines, and laid more than 90 kilometers of submarine communication cables.
Help the Annam monkeys transport aid from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries for free. During the War of Resistance Against the United States in Annam, the aid materials from other socialist countries transferred through China's railways amounted to 179 trains and 5,750 wagons, totaling 630,000 tons, and China exempted 83 million yuan in freight (transit).
According to statistical calculations, the materials directly provided by China to the monkeys of Annam and the military expenditure of this country's troops to Vietnam totaled more than $20 billion at international prices at that time, and if they were converted into gold at that price, they would now be worth more than 5 trillion yuan.
(Note: Before 1971, the price of the US dollar against gold was 35 US dollars / ounce of gold, and after the decoupling of the US dollar from gold to 72-78 years, it was converted to 200 yuan / ounce of gold.) )
Of the total amount of the above-mentioned assistance, except for interest-free loans of about 1.4 billion RMB, the others are free assistance. Even if there is reimbursable aid and loans, we will reduce or reduce them as much as they can, so as to reduce the burden on the Vietnamese side.
For example, in July 1965, when Hua'an signed the "Agreement on Economic and Technological Assistance to Annan from Huaxia", China lent 100,000 tons of grain to Annan in 1963 and purchased 196,500 tons of grain and 88,600 tons of fertilizer for Annan from 1963 to 1965, and the rest of the rest except for the 3,400 tons of grain and 18,600 tons of fertilizer returned to Annan were all donated to Annan white-eyed wolf, with an amount of RMB 106 million.
In addition, our country not only provided material and military assistance to the white-eyed wolf of Annam, but also "secretly handed over" Nightingale Island, our territory, which served as a material transfer station and radar station, to North Vietnam, which became the later Bailongwei Island, and the strategic losses were so heavy!
Now, all of this, including the compensation for the lives of our soldiers who sacrificed their lives to resist France and the United States, must be returned to Lao Tzu with all the benefits!
The more Yang Weiping thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply removed the part of our army's personnel participating in the war according to his own memory, and made a list of all the materials.
Early the next morning, a press conference was held at the Lang Son Municipal Building, and it was not clear whether it would offend France and the United States. Anyway, it was fought back then, and it wasn't bad this time.
When Yang Weiping showed up this list, the reporters from all over the world who were present were suddenly surprised. Then they all got excited.
That's a lot of surprise!
"General Yang, may I ask what your purpose is in doing this?"
Listening to the question of the Soviet Pravda correspondent in Annan, Yang Weiping sneered and replied: "Back then. In order to repay the aid provided to our country by the Soviet Union, the people of the whole country of China tightened their belts, and it took more than 600 million people three years. Pay off all the aid money owed to you Soviet government, including principal and interest!
Since ancient times, it is natural and righteous to kill people to pay for their lives and to repay debts! Of course, it is understandable for your Soviet government to make such a request. But now, I ask the government of Annan. Pay off this debt, including principal and interest!"
"I protest, this is your Huaxia government's voluntary assistance!" A dark and thin reporter from Annan's "People's Daily" shouted in the audience.
"The Soviet Union also voluntarily assisted our country back then, so. The protest is ineffective!" replied Yang Weiping with a sneer.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The major mainstream media in the world have published articles titled "The Claims of the Chinese People" and appended the list listed by Yang Weiping.
China's Guangming Daily also published a front-page headline titled "Feed the White-eyed Wolf Who Can't Be Kissed: Annan".
As newspapers in major provinces and cities in China reprinted and published reports, the Chinese people of all nationalities, who knew nothing about the truth, were all angry.
In the units participating in the war in Annam, all companies of our army organized newspaper reading and study activities at the unit level. When all the officers and men learned that our country had provided so much aid to Annan, the Annam monkeys dared to launch a military provocation on China's border line against China and anti-China, and all the troops immediately shouted "kill all the Annamam monkeys" and "fight to Saigon."
Many cadres and fighters working in logistics have written bloody letters one after another, taking the initiative to ask to go to the frontline troops to kill the enemy and relieve their hatred.
All of a sudden, our officers and men who participated in the war did not need to make any pre-war general mobilization at all, and their morale was unprecedentedly high and murderous!
Compared with the high morale of our army, the Annan army was lifeless, and many officers and men were war-weary.
"The Huaxia government has given us such tremendous selfless help to the people of Annan, why do we still have to fight with them?"
"Could it be that our government wants to erase this account by means of war?"
"Aren't we ungrateful?"
“……”
All kinds of gossip spread rapidly throughout Annan.
However, under the strict press control measures that the Annam government has always maintained, the armed forces have been relatively controlled. But among the people, the different versions of the rumors are out of control.
Only two infantry divisions of the Annam People's Army and more than 30,000 armed militiamen held Hanoi. In the face of the four armored divisions and six motorized infantry divisions that were crushed from the east, west, and north of our army, they only resisted for less than three hours, and then the whole line collapsed.
On March 24, 1979, our army successfully conquered Hanoi, the capital of Annam!
The headline "The Fall of Hanoi" also became a big news report by all the mainstream media around the world on this day.
The Soviet government, which had predicted that the Battle of Hanoi carried out by the Annam People's Army would be the second Battle of Mokoko, was also completely silent at this time.
But some socialist countries in Eastern Europe immediately jumped out and shouted:
"The Annam People's Army is learning from the strategy of "exchanging space for time" adopted by the Chinese National Government during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!"
"Annam has long enough strategic depth to definitely make the Chinese invaders fall into the quagmire of war, just like the Japanese invading army back then!"
"The Annam People's Army is preparing for a strategic counteroffensive! Because, the main force of the People's Army is still there!"
On the same day, the 2nd, 4th, and 5th main armored divisions of Annam, which had been withdrawn from Cambodia, finally rushed to Nam Dinh in a hurry.
Nam Dinh, 60 kilometers south of Hanoi, is the southern end of the Hanoi Plain, east of the Gulf of Beibu, west of the mountains and primeval forests, and then belongs to the Samnu Mountains of Laos, the left mountain and the right water, the narrowest part of the middle is only 50 kilometers wide, is the narrowest place in the north of Annam.
After Wu Yuanjia was unable to hold on to Hanoi in Zhilu Road, he obtained the consent of Le Duan, recruited millions of migrant workers, dug semi-permanent layers of fortifications 30 kilometers north of Nanding, and deployed four infantry divisions to rely on the terrain and defensive line to hold on.
The government of Le Duan, which had long seen that the opportunity was wrong, had already moved its capital to Saigon and designated it as the capital to accompany it during the war.
Two hours after the 3rd Armored Divisions of the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Armored Divisions of the Annam People's Army arrived in Nanding with a large amount of equipment and supplies.
All of a sudden, the eight most elite infantry divisions and three armored divisions of the Annan People's Army gathered in the Nanding area and set up a posture to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Nanding.
In the face of the overwhelming offensive of the Chinese army, the Soviet government finally resumed a large amount of military aid to Annam without being sure whether the Chinese army would not cross the 17th parallel in accordance with the secret agreement between China and the Soviet Union.
In view of the fact that the Huaxia Government received a large number of advanced aircraft such as the F14 and A10 from the US Government, the Soviet Government also gritted its teeth and provided a batch of the most advanced Soviet aircraft to the Annan Air Force.
On 26 March, the Soviet-aided air force arrived at Yan Harbor.
The main ones include fighter-bombers Su-24, attack aircraft Su-25, super-high-speed fighter MiG-25, and the most advanced MiG-29, pilots and ground crews sent by the Soviet Union in the name of "volunteers", a total of more than one hundred and fifty aircraft. Moreover, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, including SA6 mobile surface-to-air missiles, were supplied.
As the commander-in-chief of the Annam People's Army and Minister of Defense of Annam, Wu Yuanjia is now also enraged by this unstoppable offensive of the Chinese army.
He decided to teach the Chinese army a stern lesson.
After urgent consultations with Soviet military advisers, Wen Jinyong and a group of other senior generals, Wu Yuanjia formulated a counteroffensive plan that seemed to be perfect.
First, he deployed an armored division in front of the Nanding defensive line to disguise itself as the main force, and at the same time served as a mobile defense and tactical reserve.
One armored and two infantry divisions, which served as mobile units and general reserves.
The remaining two main armored divisions and elite infantry divisions followed the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which is commonly used by the Annam People's Army, from the deep mountains and old forests of the Sangn Mountains in the west, to the Hahao River, and then to the Sanda River Valley, from Annam Shanxi Province, 40 kilometers east of Hanoi, to recover Hanoi in one fell swoop, and cut off the rear route of our troops entering Hanoi, forming a strategic encirclement.
