Chapter 329: The First Mandate of the Rock Mercenaries
June's debt must be repaid quickly.
It was only on July 2, 1976 that Annam achieved reunification between the north and the south, and it was less than three years before it faced the crisis of re-collapse.
The "Spring Thunder" offensive suddenly launched by the Chinese army, with the majestic momentum unique to a big country, and the torrent of steel and the black clouds of war eagles in the sky, crushed and swept all the way, like a broken bamboo, invincible.
The "army" of the new armed militia of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th armed militias deployed by the Annam People's Army in Bac Ninh Province was unable to organize effective resistance at all.
Countless routs fled all the way south into the city of Hanoi, making the already chaotic Hanoi even worse.
As the saying goes, disasters are not alone, and blessings are incomparable.
Just when Le Duan called on the people of Annam to unite to resist the invasion of the Northern Invaders, bad news suddenly came from Cambodia.
At the same time, the Prime Minister of the Cambodian National United Front, Prince Binnu and King Sihnuuk, issued a public statement in Cambodia, announcing the establishment of the Kingdom of Cambodia, calling on all Cambodian people to unite to overthrow the puppet government supported by the Annan invaders and expel the Annan invaders.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China soon held a press conference to recognize the Kingdom of Cambodia as the sole legitimate government of Cambodia.
The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and other European countries have also issued announcements recognizing the Kingdom of Cambodia as the sole legitimate government of Cambodia.
The US White House spokesman also held a press conference at the White House, claiming that Cambodian King Sihanouk was the legitimate leader of Cambodia and severely reprimanding Annan's army for its war of aggression against Cambodia.
The sudden and powerful left hook hit the soft coercion of the Annan regime headed by Le Duan.
For a country's regime, being recognized by other countries as legitimate and orthodox will undoubtedly be more able to rally the support of the domestic people.
Because the Khmer Rouge was not popular in Cambodia, the puppet Cambodian democratic regime supported by Annan rose up in accordance with the Han Samlin puppet.
Many countries in Europe have royal families. These countries have always been most sympathetic to the royal families in exile overthrown by the "revolutionaries".
When the king of Cambodia was attacked by the Chinese army in Hanoi, the capital of Annam, he suddenly announced the restoration of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the implementation of a constitutional monarchy. It will certainly be openly supported internationally by countries with royal presence, such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
At this time, the Cambodian people are in a moment of confusion and helplessness. They don't know which regime can bring them a stable, stable and prosperous life.
The Khmer Rouge did that, they were all afraid.
Han Samlin, with the support of Annam's army, overthrew the Khmer Rouge. It was right for them to overthrow the Khmer Rouge regime, but it was certainly wrong to collude with the Annam invaders.
At this time, the original king stood up and announced the restoration of the kingdom. The Cambodian people think about it and feel that the country is most stable when the king is still there.
Based on this simplest thinking, the royal regime led by King Sihanouk and Prince Binnu has undoubtedly been recognized and embraced by the overwhelming majority of the Cambodian people.
For some reason, Pol Pot ordered the Cambodian Revolutionary Army and the guerrillas to accept the king's leadership.
With the issuance of this order of the Cambodian Communist Party, the originally divided forces in Cambodia suddenly became cohesive. Even Han Samlin's puppet regime had a large number of officials and soldiers defect to King Sihanouk and Prince Binnu.
The regrouped forces of the Kingdom of Cambodia launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the puppet army and the invading army of Annam. The front of the army is approaching the surrounding area of Phnom Penh.
This sudden change in the situation of the war made the movement of the three armored divisions that had just been drawn from Cambodia sluggish again.
While the main force of the Annam People's Army was hesitating, four armored divisions and six motorized infantry divisions of our army had swept across the entire Bac Ninh Plain, linking the two provinces of Bac Ninh and Tai Ninh. From the east, west and north, it is crushed towards Hanoi.
……
In the northern suburbs of Langshan City, Annan, the headquarters of the 41st Group Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is also the headquarters of the enemy before our army's operation against Annam.
Since the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission was convened, a new policy for military reform of our army has been established, and at the same time, the existing units of our army have been reorganized as a whole.
In this initial reform, the system of eight military regions is still the same, but the establishment of group armies has been established.
The 41st Group Army was expanded on the basis of the original 41st Army.
It has jurisdiction over the 121st Armored Division, the 122nd Motorized Infantry Division, the 123rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 9th Air Defense Brigade, the 3rd Army Aviation Brigade, the 7th Artillery Brigade, the Special Brigade directly under the army, the Electronic Countermeasures Regiment, the Teaching Brigade, the Training Brigade, the Chemical Defense Regiment, the Engineer Regiment, the Zhouqiao Regiment, and the Army Field Hospital. A total of more than 120,000 officers and soldiers.
The original DA regiment, in this reorganization, was naturally upgraded to the DA division. At the same time, it did not assume the responsibility of training actual combat electronic countermeasures regiments for various group armies.
As the chief adviser of the DA Division, Yang Weiping obviously intends to select the best electronic countermeasures personnel from the whole army in an open and honest manner in the name of training all group armies and enrich the talent pool of the DA Division.
At this moment, he was staying in the satellite receiving center of the DA division, using a satellite phone to make a phone porridge with Qiu Fang and Luo Xiaotong, who had not seen each other for a long time.
The change of the new regime in Cambodia is undoubtedly the result of Yang Weiping's behind-the-scenes efforts.
Today, the Rock Mercenaries have officially accepted the commission of Prince Binnu to help the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces train combat units and help the Cambodian Armed Forces fight against the Annam People's Army.
This big business was Yang Weiping who instructed Zhang Shufang to take the initiative to find Prince Binnu, who was in exile in the capital of China at that time. Prince Binnu, who was looking for help everywhere, of course, hit it off and gladly accepted.
At Yang Weiping's suggestion, China will replace our army's Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Type 56 assault rifles, Type 56 squad machine guns, Type 61 submachine guns, as well as a part of 40 guns and RPG7s, totaling more than 1.5 million pieces, as well as all the supporting guns and ammunition, all of which will be compensated to King Sihanouk of Cambodia free of charge to support his recovery.
Rock mercenaries, except for a small number of Zhang Shufang with a small number of people who stayed at the base, the vast majority of mercenaries all mixed into Cambodia under various names. In addition, a 20-square-kilometer area of territory was carved in the jungle near the Thai border, which became a garrison for the Rock mercenaries.
This time, 1,500 railroad soldiers and engineers who had been building railways in Kenya were also included in Cambodia along with the rock. These veterans have all become members of the Rock Mercenaries. That's it. The total strength of the Rock mercenaries in Cambodia exceeds 3,000 people.
After receiving almost a year of high-intensity special training, Qiu Fang and Luo Xiaotong resolutely asked to go to war with the army in order to increase their actual combat skills and tactics and battlefield survivability.
Zhang Shufang, Xiang Rong, Xiang Qiang and others couldn't resist the temper of this prospective boss, so they had to agree. While hurrying up the time to contact Boss Yang.
Who knew that they couldn't find Boss Yang during this time, if it weren't for Boss Yang's whim today, he wanted to care about the recent situation of the rock. Maybe they still can't get in touch with each other. At this time, Qiu Fang and Luo Xiaotong had already arrived in Cambodia with the large force of the Panshi mercenaries.
With Yang Weiping's understanding of Qiu Fang's temper and character, he knew very well in his heart that if he forced Qiu Fang to take Luo Xiaotong back to the base at this time, she would also agree. However, in this case, she will definitely be very unhappy.
After asking Tu Zhiqiang, Wilson, Zhang Shufang and others about Qiu Fang and Luo Xiaotong's training at the base, as well as their current technical and tactical level. After careful consideration, Yang Weiping agreed to let Qiufang stay in Cambodia with Luo Xiaotong.
Because, now Qiu Fang, in the Rock Mercenaries, was nicknamed "Black Widow" by the mercenaries. Her individual combat effectiveness. Out of three thousand four hundred and seventy-eight Rock Mercenaries, it ranked 21st. She used her strength, not the identity of a quasi-boss lady, to be respected and supported by all the Rock Mercenaries.
It can be said that among the current Rock Mercenaries, Qiu Fang's words are more effective than those of Wilson, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and other basic high-level commanders. Invisibly, she has become the core figure of the Rock Mercenaries.
If Qiu Fang can perform well in the Cambodian War this time, it will definitely have a far-reaching and significant effect on her further control of the Rock Mercenaries in the future.
Mercenaries have always believed in force and worshiped the strong. If Qiu Fang could firmly control the Rock Mercenaries in his hands, Yang Weiping could also be relieved of the stability of the Rock.
Yang Weiping, of course, didn't want Qiu Fang to become a vase. You must know that she did not receive anyone's help in her previous life, and was hired as the deputy chief instructor by the Huaxia Armed Police Corps with her own skills.
In this life, because of his butterfly flapping wings, Qiu Fang's life trajectory was changed. But gold, it really shines. Yang Weiping really didn't expect that she originally just wanted her to go to the base to master the use of firearms and strengthen her military literacy, but who would have thought that she would win the respect and love of everyone in the rock with her skills.
"Wei Ping, don't worry, I will protect myself well, and I will protect Tongtong well. Qiu Fang's gentle voice came from the microphone again, interrupting Yang Weiping's thoughts: "Don't look at Tongtong's young age now, many old mercenaries praise her for being a natural excellent warrior." In particular, she showed great talent in sniper training. Currently, she's ranked 15th out of the top 30 snipers in The Rock!"
"Sister Fang, I have been busy with domestic military construction during this time, so I haven't been able to find time to see your mother and daughter, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I ......"
"Wei Ping, don't say that, I have always known that you are the most capable man who can do big things. If you really get tired of being with my children all day long, I really might look down on you! I found that I was actually quite suitable for the life of the barracks, and I had a very fulfilling life in the rock, training every day. It's just that sometimes I'm tired and lying alone in bed and miss you a little. ”
"When I arrange my work, I'll come to you!"
"It's better for me to come to you, with your current status, it's not very convenient to go abroad. Qiu Fang said in an understanding and soft voice: "Anyway, the armed transport ships of the rock often have to come to the country to transport arms, so I will find an opportunity to come over." ”
"Mmmmmmmmmmmm (To be continued.) )
