The huge convoy braved the pouring rain all the way north, and the first was the large trucks and armored vehicles carrying troops, and the tanks and various engineering vehicles were heavy and slow, and they all walked behind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The withdrawal of troops was orderly, so the convoy did not move in a hurry, and when the war was fought a few days ago, the convoy ran wildly for hundreds of miles in one day, and such a rapid march was extremely mechanical wear and tear, and could not be used frequently.

Now it's just going back to China to repair, so naturally it's as slow as it can be.

When the Vietnamese army built this highway, it was careful to take heavy military vehicles, so it was full of materials. The tank was crushed on it, the road surface did not collapse into potholes, and the convoy walked smoothly.

The convoy of the 69th Army drove on the right side of the highway and headed in the direction of returning home. And on the left is a steady stream of second-line troops entering Vietnam. Now that the country has reached a war period, it naturally needs these second-line troops to replenish their personnel and equipment, and they can enter the front line to fight at any time.

After the start of the South Asian War, in addition to facing the Soviet army on the Indian Peninsula, our army also had to guard against the three eastern provinces, Mongolia, and the Soviet army in the direction of the Altai Mountains.

After successfully conquering North Vietnam, the Central Military Commission immediately ordered these second-line troops to form a group to go around North Vietnam, for nothing else, just to let these recruits see the battlefield and get their blood on it.

Especially on the North Vietnamese side of the border, there are bombed-out wreckage of Vietnamese ordnance and charred Vietnamese soldiers. The Military Commission deliberately kept these and did not clean them up, just to let these rookies go over to see it, at least seeing the tragic situation after these bombings, the soldiers will have a new understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield, and they will definitely not be soft again when firing at the Soviets.

If you don't want to turn yourself into black charcoal, then turning all your enemies into dead corpses before this is the only way to survive on the battlefield!

Seeing these friendly troops, the officers and men of the 69th Army were all arrogant, although most of them did not even have the opportunity to shoot in this war, but it did not prevent them from showing off their martial arts to friendly troops.

These second-line troops are not as bold as the 69th Army's full mechanization, and there are only a few liberation trucks and 212 jeeps in the army, and none of the vehicles are carrying people, but are filled with military supplies.

In fact, there is still no shortage of military trucks in the second-line troops, and no matter how poor the country is, it will not be able to afford to buy large trucks. Instead, the Central Military Commission has to transfer materials from all over the country to Aksai Chin in northern Xinjiang, which is a plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and it is necessary to transport materials to sustain the operation of a million troops, and the number of trucks needed is quite amazing.

The vehicles in the troops were all withdrawn, and these second-line troops could only enter North Vietnam on foot.

Aksai Chin was originally a bridgehead for China to control Central Asia and the most important barrier to stabilize northern Xinjiang, which would take advantage of the US imperialists' money, the Military Commission decided to thoroughly operate Aksai Chin, strengthen the border posts, and at the same time establish several garrison towns, build several large roads to the interior, and by the way, widen the Karakoram Pass and empty the Kazakh Pass.

If we suffer a little in Aksai Chin now, our future generations will be able to save a lot of effort in the future.

……

There was a beautiful black Rolls-Royce Phantom sandwiched between the military vehicles returning home, which was particularly conspicuous, and it was so out of place as a civilian car mixed with the rough military vehicles. So much so that the soldiers on the opposite side couldn't help but look twice when they saw this beautiful car.

What makes such a beautiful car a ride? It's like it came out of a movie!

I saw a young man in a military coat with no military rank on his shoulders in the back seat of the car, but the one driving in the front seat was a three-star captain.

And sitting in the co-pilot is a major with two bars and one star.

The drivers are all captains, and the majors can only sit in the co-pilot's seat, which shows how high the status of the man sitting in the back seat should be!

For ordinary soldiers, this person must be an unattainable existence, and being able to look at it is enough to go back and talk for half a lifetime.

Chen Xu leaned on the car door, looked out the window at the infantry who entered North Vietnam on foot in the rain, and sighed: "It is said that the Indochina Peninsula is a land of abundant rain, but I didn't expect this rain to be so strong, I grew so big and saw such a strong rain for the first time, it was like a waterfall falling down, and it didn't stop for a day and a night!" Pity these infantrymen, just drenched in the march, and a large number of people will definitely be sick when they turn back. The Military Commission wanted to train recruits who had never fought a war, but God didn't give face, and the heavy rain was endless, and the rain curtain obscured the vision, and the scenery 20 meters away could not be seen clearly, and these recruits were drenched in a rain in vain. ”

"Marching in the rain is a necessary training program, and there is no chance to pick the weather when fighting, so you have to go. The rainforest climate in India is very similar to that of Vietnam, so it is good for the soldiers to get used to the climate. Zhang Jian, the commander of the tank division sitting beside Chen Xu, straightened his waist and back, put his hands on his thighs, and sat in the back seat like an old pine of Huashan, looking like a hard-nosed soldier, but he spoke very kindly.

At first glance, such a person is an old soldier who crawled out of the pile of corpses, has seen life and death, so he has seen through life, speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, has an introverted personality, and will never compete with others.

"Tu Meng, why is the tank behind missing!" Chen Xu turned around and saw that the tank unit following behind suddenly disappeared into the rain, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly reminded Tu Meng, who was driving in front, to pay attention to the situation.

Chen Xu's Rolls-Royce followed behind the infantry division, but it was at the forefront of the tank division and was the leading vehicle of the tank division.

Chen Xu didn't want to return to China by car alone, this was not boring to death, so he invited Zhang Jian, the commander of the heavy tank division, as well as Zhao Qilong, the commander of the first tank battalion who was familiar with him, and Tu Meng, the deputy battalion commander, to return to China in the same car.

Commander Zhang Jian's car is a 212 jeep, not to mention the air leakage on all sides, the power is barely strong, even the seat back is straight and uncomfortable to sit on, this car in addition to being sturdy and durable, there are not too many advantages.

Chen Xu invited a comfortable Rolls-Royce to return to China, of course Master Zhang was willing, his old bones could no longer withstand too many bumps, and it would hurt for half a month to sit on the 212 lumbar spine. This teacher has a long life experience, and he will share some of his life experiences with Chen Xu along the way, which is not boring.

Just chatting, Chen Xu saw that the tank car following behind didn't know when it disappeared, and hurriedly reminded Tu Meng to slow down quickly. But they did not dare to stop completely, in case the tank suddenly rushed out of the rain and was crushed by the tracks, the Rolls-Royce would become a flat Slyce.

Zhao Qilong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced behind the car through the rearview mirror, but couldn't see anything clearly in the heavy rain. Tu Meng didn't dare to reverse, the sight was not good in the heavy rain, and it would be troublesome in case the reversing and the tank collided together.

This Rolls-Royce is worth 20 million, and it costs more than 100,000 to repair a little scratch, which is much more expensive than a tank.

"There should be a problem, first stop the car and use the radio to contact what the situation is and then make a judgment." Zhang Jian was still calm, he decisively ordered Tu Meng to stop first, and then let Zhao Qilong use the handheld radio on the driver's platform to get in touch with the back.

"Hey! What's going on in the back, why can't I see people! Zhao Qilong reluctantly picked up the handheld radio and shouted loudly into the microphone.

"Battalion commander, the first car couldn't see the road clearly, so it drove down the roadbed and fell into the fish pond!" The anxious voice of the signal soldier came over the radio, apparently in serious trouble.

"Is that the big fishpond we just passed by? The water looks deep, so let the occupants inside hurry out! Although Zhang Jian had been sitting in the car without speaking, he habitually paid attention to all the scenery along the way, so when he heard the tank behind him sliding into the fish pond, he immediately remembered the big fish pond he had just seen, and if the tank fell into it, the crew inside might be in danger of drowning.

"Grass...... Just rush down the roadbed, and drive to the fish pond! Zhao Qilong was worried about the safety of his soldiers, pushed the car door and got out of the car, and plunged into the rain behind him.

"You don't have to get out of the car, it should be fine, the body of the M1 tank is two meters and three meters high, and the pond is generally one or two meters deep, and the depth in the middle of the pond will not exceed three meters, and the tank will not be able to drive into it, and it will not drown people." Chen Xu saw that Tu Meng also wanted to get out of the car, so he asked him not to move, and he was drenched all over the car after such a heavy rain outside, how could he drive him when the time came.

Tu Meng drove the car slowly backwards, and sure enough, more than 700 meters behind the car, many soldiers were surrounding this roadbed to watch the excitement. There are officers who are organizing discipline to let the soldiers on the opposite side continue to advance, and if they are blocked here, it will affect the troops behind, and they must be dredged as soon as possible.

When the soldiers resumed their normal march, the car leaned over, and through the window it could be seen that the turret of the head of the tank battalion had rushed down and plunged into the large fish pond, only the butt and part of the tower were still exposed, and the edge of the highway was crushed in a large area.

It may be that the driver was too panicked when he operated, and he had already left the roadbed and had not stopped, but he fell into the pond headlong, and actually drove a distance in the pond before stopping.

The tank itself was so heavy that it quickly sank into the mud of the pond, and the four members were presumably landlubbers, standing on the roof of the tank for a while and unable to get ashore

"There's still a lack of training, and you can slide into a fish pond when driving on the highway. The tank's gas turbine engine was completely immersed in water and was probably scrapped. Chen Xu looked at the scene of saving people outside in the car, shook his head and sighed.

"Ordinary people can accidentally stumble on the road, military vehicles are driving on unfamiliar roads, and accidents are common. I drove my car into the lake when I was a soldier! Zhang Jian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly told his experience when he was young, and told Chen Xu that this time the tank slipped into the fish pond was a normal accident, and there was no need to worry too much.
