On the afternoon of March 4, it rained lightly.

The distant mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and a small convoy appeared less than 10 kilometers south of Lang Son. The small convoy marched against the rout, like ants. The escort was a team of less than 100 people, but the escort was on foot and looked tired.

Most of the routs looked panicked, hurried, and empty-handed, where could they take care of this small convoy.

The small convoy was naturally Hong Yan and them, and on foot were the soldiers of the special agent team led by Huang Sheng. After learning Hong Yan's methods, Huang Sheng was very cooperative next. The soldier had only an empty gun in his hand, and all other bullets and grenades were confiscated.

I don't know how Huang Sheng communicated with Hanoi, and there was also a battalion of troops coming over during this period. After some temptation, after being half wiped out by Hong Yan alone, no one came. Colonel Huang was entangled and heartbroken. Under the leadership of Sun Qi, Colonel Huang visited the dining conditions of the Chinese soldiers and the injuries of the seriously wounded, and the result was quite speechless, shaking his head secretly, and he didn't dare to think carefully.

After calming down and resting in the cave for another day and night, Hong Yan and the others went down the mountain and set out on their return journey. The sudden appearance of armored cars and automobiles once again confirmed Hong Yan's miracle, and also shattered the last trace of luck in Colonel Huang's mind that "the day before yesterday was a dream".

Huang Sheng and Hong Yan sat in the second armored car, their faces dripping with gloomy. The elite third division of the Mi National Army, which had defeated the world's number one military power, could not stop the attack of the Chinese army! Sure enough, as the little devil said, Lang Son was lost. When was the powerful Vietnamese army so weak, and the Chinese army was still as strong as ever?

Sun Qi's call suddenly came from the contact radio in the car: "Call No. 2, call No. 2!" Successfully contacted home, a tank unit is coming south along the road! Please instruct! ”

"No. 2 understands, No. 1 plays an identification mark, don't get me wrong!" Hong Yan didn't have anything to say. Hong Yan personally drove the No. 2 armored car. Such a squad had three armored vehicles and two cars.

The rout was getting fewer and fewer, and the convoy was getting closer and closer to Lang Son. Hong Yan sensed that most of the routs were scattered into the mountains and forests on both sides. Once the army is defeated, it will take some time to regroup and organize. Tomorrow the Chinese government will announce the withdrawal of troops, and then the frenzied Vietnamese soldiers will regroup and chase after them.

Less than 10 minutes into the road, several tanks painted with the August 1 logo were parked on a wide field next to the road, their engines sounding softly, and their guns pointed at the coming car from the south. A squad of infantry was on guard with guns. Sun Qi's No. 1 car was in front, and the soldiers at the lookout were excitedly waving the national flag.

Five cars stopped in front of the tank, and Sun Qi got out of the No. 1 car. One person also came down from the tank, introduced each other, and shook hands tightly. Sun Qi must confirm the identity of the other party, so as not to pose an oolong. Hong Yan also got out of the car.

"Little chief, Chu Qingjun, deputy commander of the tank company, came to greet you on behalf of the company commander!" Deputy Company Commander Chu is not tall, but he is very strong.

"Company Commander Chu is polite, this is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to return as soon as possible!" Naturally, this environment does not allow for a welcoming ceremony.

Hong Yan did not avoid Company Commander Chu and the others, and called Huang Sheng from the car and said, "Colonel Huang, although you are my prisoners, but because of your active cooperation, now, you can choose to stay?" ”

What is the good choice, dragging the family with them, of course it is impossible for them to go to Huaxia with Hong Yan and others. Once it passes, the nature is completely different, and everything cannot be said. The severity of the consequences of persecution, leading the way, sending prisoners and surrendering to the enemy, is naturally different.

Huang Sheng led the team back. Deputy Company Commander Chu was very surprised, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you release it?" What should I do if I ask above? Sun Qi was not able to answer this question and remained silent. It has nothing to do with you, your task now is to pick up these fighters and send them back home safely. "Hong Yan doesn't care about that. Chu Qingdong was a little embarrassed, and touched his scalp with a smile. Fortunately, he is not engaged in political work, otherwise, Hong Yan would be really difficult to do.

Do you want to let the tiger go back to the mountains? Hong Yan also thought about it, but after these people went back, they would be interrogated immediately. In short, their path to the army was broken. More than 90 captives were rescued, and someone had to bear the blame.

"Company Commander Chu, you find someone to drive. I won't go back with you. I still have business to do! Hong Yan watched Huang Sheng and the others turn the corner, and said to Chu Lian.

"What? Little chief, aren't you going back with us? Sun Qi exclaimed. His voice was loud, alarming several soldiers who got out of the car to watch the excitement. As soon as they turned around, they brought the news to the five cars.

A scene that puzzled Deputy Company Commander Chu appeared, and everyone in the car who could move jumped down, including those with hanging arms and lame legs, and surrounded Hong Yan in unison. The seven female health soldiers were teary-eyed and sad. What's going on? Hong Yan was still urging him to go quickly? Where can this be fast? Well, the reason why Company Commander Chu called Hong Yan the little chief was completely because of Sun Qi's introduction and politeness. How can a child be the chief? Looking at this situation, it is not only the chief, but also the chief who has great prestige and popularity.

More than 90 people were brought back safely, and Hong Yan's promise was fulfilled. He was going to continue his "treasure hunting" journey south. Speaking of which, because the rescue of these people has been delayed for four or five days!

In fact, Hong Yan didn't want to see the rest of the troops on the Eastern Front. After all, his age and identity are difficult to explain. Hong Yan counted the basic information of the rescued soldiers, but did not tell them his true situation. The soldiers understand that Hong Yan has a special identity and a special mission!

"Platoon Commander Sun, please immediately order the team to get on the bus and hurry back to China. Don't stop at Lang Son, meet you by fate! "Hong Yan didn't want to go to the Eastern Front anymore and stay there.

Sun Qi immediately formed a column to see him off. It is impossible for Hong Yan to turn around and leave in style.

"Goodbye, Sister Yu!" "Goodbye, Sister Xiaomei! Be strong, you must live well! Maybe I'll be looking for you someday! Hong Yan tiptoed and whispered in Li Mei's ear. Her eyes were red and she nodded mechanically. "Goodbye, Sister Haiyan!" …… Hong Yan and the health soldiers standing in line shook hands, hugged and saluted the soldiers one by one. When Hong Yan finally entered the carriage and shook hands with the seriously wounded, he choked up.

It's hard to suppress this emotion! Although his mind was almost lost, and he also had concerns about his parents and family in his heart, Hong Yan would continue his journey

Hong Yan stood on the side of the road, watching them board the car and start. The tank finished turning and the infantry went up and faded away. He mounted his motorbike and continued along the road towards Lang Son. He must see that the rescued warriors are safe before he can really continue his journey.

After a few turns, the sky in the distance was filled with black smoke and rain and fog. Abandon the car and climb to the top of the mountain, go up to the treetops, and Hong Yan took out the telescope to observe. An east-west river in the north in sight split the city in two, leaving it in ruins during the war. Nam Thieu, also known as the Old Quarter, was broken today because the Vietnamese did not recognize the capture of Lang Son by the Chinese army, which eventually led to the almost total annihilation of the Vietnamese Third Division.

Armored vehicles, cars and tanks entered the city, crossed the bridge and crossed the North City. It can be said that it is the rear, and Hong Yan is completely relieved. The reason why Hong Yan wanted to climb the mountain was that he noticed that the Huaxia army had arranged a defensive position in front.

Lang Son is connected to Hanoi by road and railway, and is connected to Thanh Hung in the north. Location is quite important. The mountains around Lang Son and to the north are undulating, and to the south the terrain is flatter. After conquering Lang Son, Hanoi was also in no danger to defend, and was completely exposed to the attack range of the Chinese army.

Hong Yan was alone, but it was not good to swagger along the road, crossing Hanoi and continuing south. So he wandered through the mountains on the west side of the road, and from time to time he would encounter three or five stragglers, who he unceremoniously disarmed and threw them in a cave with a broken leg. In this way, at least it can ensure that they will no longer take vigorous steps and sensitively devote themselves to the upcoming pursuit, causing senseless sacrifices to the good men of Huaxia. As for whether you will die if you delay treatment, ask for more blessings!

It's easy to do. By the time it got dark, it had broken through the triple digits. On a group of high and low hills, at least one company of troops was arranged in front of and behind. Looks like we've met formed troops. Company-level defense, at least a regimental defense area in the back!

Hong Yan thought about it for a moment and decided not to alarm the guards, and quietly passed through their defensive positions in the dusk rain and fog. Sure enough, there is a big mystery behind these hills. A relatively wide and flat town appeared in front of me, hidden in the rain and fog in the distance. It should be at least 20 kilometers away from Lang Son.

He went deep along the gaps in the defense. There are also garrisons in the town, and what is even more amazing is that dozens of artillery pieces and cars are parked in the hidden area, although they are vaguely arranged in formation, but limited to the terrain, they are quite cramped and even slightly chaotic. The positions were hastily arranged, and the artillery was even more unbearable, sitting or lying exhausted. Hong Yan estimated that this was the artillery unit that had just retreated from the front line, and had experienced a hard battle and fright!

Hong Yan estimated that this was already the size of a crippled artillery regiment. After waiting for half an hour, the sky went dark. He got into action. This time he was just stunned the artillerymen, and if they broke their legs, their screams would alarm the other soldiers. 122 howitzers and 12 85 cannons were put into the accounts, 30 cars and ammunition were put into storage, and the final target was the artillery regimental headquarters in the center of the town.

The guard company directly under the artillery regiment was cleared, and no one entered the headquarters next to Hongyan. More than a dozen people were busy, and the colonel was looking at the map on the wall. Hong Yan couldn't help but think of the little marshal in Huaxia who liked to read maps.

In the surprised eyes of a group of staff officers and high-ranking regiment subordinates, Hong Yan came in. Before they could react, he quickly cleaned up the headquarters. The colonel, who had good habits, fainted without knowing anything. Roll away all of Command's belongings, including a map on the wall and a gold star embroidered on one side and a few unrecognizable Vietnamese characters, though the Arabic numerals of "68" on it are still recognizable. Even guessing with Meng, Hong Yan estimated that this was the regimental flag, and the number was "Artillery 68th Regiment".
