The information from the CIA confirmed the information that Karenia revealed to Yang Weiping before returning home with a secret delegation to China some time ago.

The Soviet government calculated to provide Annan with a large number of MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters to regain air supremacy!

The first batch of MiG-23 and MiG-25 will arrive at the garrison of the 3rd Air Division of the Annam People's Army in Hanoi around March 8.

After Xu Shangyou received the report on the enemy situation conveyed by Yang Weiping, he resolutely issued a strict order to the 41st Army to open up a safe passage to our follow-up army to attack Lang Son within 24 hours!

At this time, Yang Weiping was also at the Sino-US Joint Base Command and gave a task order to the Panshi mercenaries stationed at Qixi Airport: Infiltrate into the urban area of Hanoi, wait for an opportunity to reconnoiter the specific location of the hidden airfield of the Third Division of the Annam Air Force and the surrounding terrain, and raid the airfield while our army is attacking Hanoi, and strive to snatch a few original Soviet MiG-25 fighters.

Whoever wins the next one will be divided fifty-fifty percent of the MiG-25's selling price in the international arms market.

As the saying goes, under the heavy reward, you must be brave, and the biggest characteristic of mercenaries is to make money and make a fortune through war. As soon as Boss Yang gave this order, he immediately stabbed the rock mercenaries in Annan and howled one by one.

In the previous clean-up operation against the remnants of Gaoping, the Rock Mercenaries were unlucky and did not find a secret warehouse.

originally thought that Ren Changle had found a large strategic grain depot, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was a chemical weapons arsenal. Not only did they not reap any benefits, but they sacrificed two teammates, and three other team members were moderately and seriously injured by the sarin gas.

Grabbing military fighter jets is a major challenge that all Rock Mercenaries have never experienced. Although everyone knows that the risks of this operation are huge, the temptation of profit is too great.

You must know that a MiG-25 fighter is worth at least 50 million US dollars!

Many of the Rock mercenaries in Annam had heard of the world-shaking incident of Soviet lieutenant pilot Belenko defecting to Japan in a MiG-25 plane on September 6, 1976.

The United States and Japan formed a joint expert group at that time. A comprehensive dissection of the MiG-25 was carried out, but it was eventually returned to the Soviet government on November 12, 1976, under diplomatic pressure from the Soviet Union.

Although the United States and Japan spent two months studying this MiG-25. But it is impossible to completely understand the skills of the MiG-25 in such a short period of time, at most you can only understand a rough idea.

If Panshi can grab a few MiG-25s this time, it will definitely not worry about no buyers! At least. The governments of the United States and Japan will certainly pay the bill.

Since the Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Cao Ping, and Quang Ninh areas in the northern part of Annam were conquered and controlled by our army, a large number of armed militia and public security forces mobilized from Yunnan and Gui provinces took over the military control of the field troops. The local residents of Annam in this province and city will be managed in a centralized manner.

In addition to the Urban Comprehensive Management Law Enforcement Brigade set up by the locals in Annam, the Hualian General Law Enforcement Brigade, officials and staff from the United Nations and the International Red Cross participated in the post-war reconstruction work here.

If there is a chance to dig into the corners of the Soviets, the United Nations and the International Red Cross will not mind supporting the humanitarian relief operations carried out by the Chinese government. Strict management measures have been put in place for war refugees in Annam.

Although the war was still ongoing, the Chinese government sent a large number of engineering troops and railway troops from China to build roads and bridges. Laying railways, doing it in full swing.

Based on this situation, the Rock mercenaries have no rich oil and water to fish in the mountainous areas north of Annam. After careful deliberation, Wilson and Tu Zhiqiang decided to leave the aviation squadron and logistics personnel at Qixi Airport. All combat detachments took the sea route and made a detour to the southern provinces and cities after the Yonghe River in Annam. Look for opportunities to penetrate from the southern area of Annam to the urban area of Hanoi.

At the same time that the Panshi mercenaries were carrying out the mission of advancing southward, the battle of the 41st Army against Tongdeng was also approaching the stage of closing the palace.

At 12 o'clock at noon on 5 March, the 41st Army had basically completed the operational plan of encircling and co-encircling Tongdeng.

The remnants of the enemy all withdrew from the field positions and retreated to the three core positions of Tanmou, 339 Heights, and Guitun Fort.

According to the reconnaissance report of our reconnaissance unit, the deployment of this enemy force is as follows:

There is about one company on the surface of Pingdingshan, equipped with 82 and 3 guns, 3 antiaircraft guns, and 9 light and heavy machine guns; there is about one platoon at the Tongdeng Railway Station and the unnamed heights south of it; there is about one battalion of a certain fortification group in Tan; there is about one company on the 339 heights; and there is also an antiaircraft artillery battalion in a certain area of Tan, equipped with 10 37 antiaircraft guns and 10 14.5mm antiaircraft machine guns.

The above three positions form a strong momentum with each other, forming a cross-fire network, controlling the Tongtai Highway, the Tonglang Highway and the Railway, and the Tongdeng-Youyiguan Highway.

The Guitun Fort, also known as the French Fort, was carefully built by the French when they colonized Annam. It is located on the Pingding Mountain in the southwest of Tongdeng, about 120 meters long, about 70 meters wide, and the wall thickness is 1.5-3 meters. It is divided into three layers, about 6 meters above the ground, with an exit on each side, 10 ventilation holes at the top, 300 perforations around it, water, electricity, and ventilation equipment, and the entire fort can accommodate thousands of people.

Since the beginning of the war, the 41st Army has advanced all the way, and the losses are not large. However, the battle of Tongdeng has caused more battle damage than all the casualties and battle losses of the 41st Army before combined.

Moreover, since the AH1W super eye-eye helicopter gunship joined the service of our army's army aviation unit, in Tongdeng, for the first time, there was serious battle damage caused by the enemy's 37 antiaircraft artillery attack, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of people.

This made all the officers and men of the Army Aviation Unit and the 41st Army hate the Annam monkeys in Tongdeng.

Looking at the current battlefield situation, only by pulling out the Guitun Fort on Pingdingshan first and knocking out the three-legged tripod of this remnant enemy in Annan, the monkeys of Tan and 339 will become turtles in the urn.

The Pingdingshan mountain is so steep that even the Siberian Tiger main battle tank did not climb it. It could only be handed over to the infantry to attack from the bottom up under the cover of artillery fire.

THE ENEMY'S 3RD DIVISION DEPLOYED A LARGE NUMBER OF 14.5MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS AND 12.7MM HEAVY MACHINE GUNS IN THIS BATTERY, WITH AN OPEN FIRING RANGE AND EXTREMELY FEROCIOUS FIREPOWER.

Our army's long-range heavy artillery and high-altitude bomber groups carried out carpet bombing of Pingdingshan. However, by 3:30 p.m., only the enemy's surface positions and lookouts on Pingdingshan had been knocked out, and the entire fort had been largely undamaged except for some fragments of reinforced concrete.

At this time. Yue Zhongwang, commander of the 41st Regiment of the 121st Division of the 385th Army, received a call from Xu Shangyou personally, asking him to do whatever it takes. Be sure to take the Guitun Fort before 7 o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise military law will be engaged!

Due to the open terrain and the condescending forts, the fortifications are strong and the firepower is strong. Our fire could not block the perforations of the stubborn enemy in the battery, and the infantry could not get close.

Yue Zhongwang personally commanded a battalion and a company of the 385th Regiment to launch seven attacks, all of which were unsuccessful. Although the enemy in the surface position was basically eliminated. However, the casualties of the first company were almost half of the battle losses. was so angry that Yue Zhongwang scolded his mother, and secretly ruthlessly refused to accept the surrender of the Annan monkeys in the Guitun Fort!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the four 100MM self-propelled anti-aircraft guns supported by the military headquarters of the 41st Army finally staggered late.

A hidden observation point at the Pingdingshan Guitun Fort. LI DAJUN, COMMANDER OF THE 12TH REGIMENT OF THE THIRD DIVISION OF THE ANNAN PEOPLE'S ARMY, SAW THROUGH THE HIGH-POWERED TELESCOPE THAT THE FOUR 100MM SELF-PROPELLED ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS THAT COULD BE DIRECTLY AIMED AT THE ATTACK QUICKLY ENTERED THE ATTACK POSITION.

The terrain and solidity of the Ghost Tun Fort are not afraid of high-altitude bombardment, nor are they afraid of artillery coverage, the only threat. It is this large-caliber anti-aircraft gun that can be aimed directly at the flat-fire anti-aircraft gun.

Li Dajun knows very well that now Tan Mou and his comrades-in-arms on the 339 Heights are afraid that they have also reached the most critical moment of life and death.

The 1,246 officers and men of the 12th Regiment who survived are now all gathered in the fortified tunnel stronghold inside the Guitun Fort, even if the enemy attacks them. Having lost all surface fire points, they did not want to attack the inside of the battery in a short time.

Through the intermittent noise caused by the high-frequency blocking jamming used by our army's electronic jamming troops, the muffled voice of Li Dajun, the commander of the 12th Regiment, was heard from all the radio stations inside the entire Guitun Fort:

"Comrades, comrades-in-arms, we don't have any choice. We can only persist in fighting the enemy to the last moment, until the arrival of our main force, and until the completion of the task entrusted to us by President Lai! Even if we fight to the last minute, even if we lose the last bullet in the chamber, even if only our flesh and blood remain, because we are soldiers of Annam, and we are the fierce defenders of the Democratic Republic of Annam!

We are not alone, there are still brother troops who fought bloody battles in Tanmou and the 339 Heights, and there are thousands of Annan's sons and daughters behind us. Comrades and comrades-in-arms, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for a soldier! Our position will never allow the enemy's boots to cross over, and we will never allow the enemy's chariot to pass through!"

"Swear to fight to the death with the Northern Kou!"

"Long live the great Annam People's Army!"

"Long live Chairman Lai!"

The rumbling sound of artillery gave the words of the "heroic regiment" of the Annam People's Army the best tragic and magnificent movement, the sky was filled with dark clouds and gunsmoke, and the sunset in the dusk was like a bright red like weeping blood.

THE SCREAM OF THE 100MM SELF-PROPELLED ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN DURING THE FLAT FIRE TORE THROUGH THE CURTAIN OF THICK SMOKE, AND USED IT AS A BATTLE CRY TO OPEN THE ATTACK OF THE FIRST BATTALION OF THE 385TH DIVISION OF THE 41ST ARMY OF THE 385 ARMY.

In a dilapidated trench abandoned by the defenders of Annam, about 200 meters away from the Guitun Fort, Da Zhou set up the Type 81 general-purpose machine gun he had applied for from the battalion headquarters, forcibly concealed the excitement in his heart, exhaled deeply, clinged to the warm soil, and stared at a shooting hole in the front battery that was frantically spraying tongues of fire.

As the most effective sharp knife company of the 385th Regiment, although the first battalion and one company lost nearly half of the battle in the previous attack operation, Liu Hongsheng, who was strong, still asked the regiment commander Yue Zhongwang to continue to serve as the main attack task of this attack.

For this reason, Liu Hongsheng carried out an emergency mobilization in the whole company, and even the cooking squad was turned into a combat collective, and for the honor of the first company of the fierce guard, the whole squad participated in this battle.

Avenging the sacrificed comrades is the best reason for the six soldiers in the cooking class to write a blood letter to apply for the war.

"Squad leader, Lao Gao, prepare!" Da Zhou turned his head sideways and gave the squad leader Fat Hong, who was about to jump out of this trench, and sent out the most cowardly countdown: "3, 2, 1, rush!"

"Sudden ......" With the dense rain of bullets erupting from the Type 81 general-purpose machine gun in Da Zhou's hand, the firepower point guarded by the enemy on the opposite side was suddenly dumbfounded.

Xiao Jiang, Xiao Mao, Lao Gao, Shuai Hu, and the four soldiers who were transferred from the other disabled platoons of the first company, under the leadership of the squad leader Pang Hong, used the traffic trench of this trench as a cover, and quickly crawled towards the Guitun Fort in front.

During that period of time when the enemy's firepower was dumb, Fat Hong took this temporary combat squad composed of a cooking squad and a company clerk, and under the cover of Lao Gao's machine gun fire, he rushed through the most dangerous section of the front, exposed 30 meters of open land full of craters without any concealment.

This three-meter-high wall is a dead end for enemy fire in the fort, and if you climb it, you can safely approach the protruding section of the fort's building wall. There's a good chance you'll be able to lie on top of this A-line fortification and throw a grenade into that hole.

"Squad leader, I'll go and finish off this firepower point!" Lao Gao gasped and took the initiative to fight.

"Be careful! Fat Hong didn't say much, reached out and patted Lao Gao on the shoulder.

"Don't worry! I still hope that I will be able to make meritorious contributions after this battle! It is absolutely impossible to be glorious. Lao Gao grinned confidently.

Fat Hong set up a human ladder for Lao Gao, and let Lao Gao step on his shoulders and climb up along the mountain wall.

The lightweight 81-style high-waisted training shoes and excellent grip ability made Lao Gao climb this highland without much effort.

The old tall cat bent on his waist and made a very skillful tactical move to use the cover of shrubs and weeds to approach the A-line fortification in front of him.

THE ROOF OF THE FORTIFICATION WAS BLOWN UP BY SHELLS, AND THERE WERE SHALLOW CRATERS EVERYWHERE, AND IN MANY PLACES THERE WERE 20MM THICK SCREWED STEEL BARS TWISTED AND EXPOSED TO THE AIR.

Your grandmother's, this thing that the monkeys of Annan are really a king and a shell!

After climbing to the top of this fortification, Lao Gao couldn't help muttering in his heart.

He leaned down on the reinforced concrete, which still had residual warmth, and leaned down to look at the shot hole below where it had begun to spit out flames again.

Fortunately, the top of this fortification was cut off by one-third of our artillery fire, otherwise the thickness of 1.2 meters would not be able to reach even if the old man was arm long.

At this time, in the temporary bunker where the front-line headquarters of the forward position was located, Yue Zhongwang could see all the old Gao Pan's passing through the telescope clearly. (To be continued.) )
