Chapter 16: Hitting a Stone with an Egg
"This is simply smashing stones with eggs, two regiments without artillery fire and air cover, against the troops of five divisions, I am really miserable!"
At the sound of the raid siren, Chen Bin led his staff to rush into the nearby bomb shelter made of sandbags, which had a psychological effect more than actual protection.
While running, there are Sichuan dialects in the middle of the room.
In the sky, the old "Benlei" attack aircraft appeared in the sky under the protection of fighters. From this point, it can be seen that the French have a special fondness for the dive bombing that Tang Yunyang once used in the first world battlefield.
Unfortunately, they did not have the aerial command and detailed reconnaissance of the Hawkeye airship. Yes, but a few reconnaissance planes used to conduct artillery test firing.
Among the escort planes, there are no new aircraft.
The French government, in the face of the opposition of the parliamentarians to the war, did not dare to increase military spending on a large scale in order not to cause unrest in the country. They are very aware of the ability of the "Chung Wah Association" to cause trouble, so they are not willing to give them any leverage.
This time, however, both China and France seemed to have grasped a certain intention of the other side, and the war was confined to Vietnam, and even at sea for the time being. The war was also not adequately covered by the media on both sides, as if intent on convincing everyone that it was nothing more than some kind of skirmish between the two superpowers.
Therefore, the poor French pilots, apart from the use of old planes in warehouses, did not get anything new. Moreover, the "Iron Wing Award" set up by Tang Yunyang has made Qindao a huge stage for aircraft designers to display their talents.
In the sky, it looks as if the tiny city is just a chessboard. The French pilots in the sky looked at the sky with some fear, knowing that if the flying team of the Chinese Federation appeared here, it would be a real disaster for them.
In fact, this concern is completely superfluous. For the time being, the Chinese Federation has no intention of scaring them back. Because, not to mention the "Meteor" medium bomber, even the "Sabre ABZ" fighter did not appear on the battlefield in Vietnam.
As for the reason, neither the Chinese Federal Government nor the military has come out to explain the matter. Let the media celebrities argue happily.
"It appears that the Chinese Federation intends to wage a 'limited war,' and although their resource routes are somewhat threatened, it will not be sufficient for them to mobilize all Chinese troops for the war. I am afraid that neither France, Britain, nor the United States, nor the Chinese Federation itself would want to see and experience a war of this magnitude. ”
This is how the outside world perceives this strange war at the moment.
Two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Chinese Federation cruised in the waters near Irian Island, and the other aircraft carrier battle group disappeared into the vast Pacific Ocean. At this time, not a single ship of a certain country had discovered his whereabouts.
This is due to the fact that the "ghost captain" Count Luknar is once again using his "stealth technique", which is very easy to do with the help of the "Eagle Eye" airship in the air. It is only estimated that when he eats every night, the captains and ladies at the table increase again, making it easy for him to pass away the time he is floating at sea.
As for the victory or defeat of the Vietnam War, it had nothing to do with the liberation of the Vietnamese nation. This is nothing more than a war game played by the two superpowers here, with the aim of determining the future distribution of resources in Southeast Asia.
So, it's going to be a limited war, and no one wants to see it overextended.
This is not necessarily known to the French pilots who flew in the sky. They just thought that their luck today was surprisingly good. As for Chen Bin on the ground, as the commander of the main division of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces, he is very clear about the policies of the federal government.
And he also understands that from the beginning of Li Shizeng, it is just a big trap. Eventually, Western countries will realize that although Tang Yunyang is gone, "the mantle of the problem bandit has been completely inherited by a certain bad wolf."
The "Benlei" attack planes swooped down from the sky, and then the bombs let out a piercing whistling and landed in the city, where camouflage nets were laid.
The dull cabin of the "Benlei" attack plane, which was closed in the sky, could be heard clearly, and the rising air currents also caused the rapidly climbing plane to sway from side to side.
Sitting in a "creaking" plane, the French pilot was quite happy in his heart.
First, they completed the legendary mission.
Second, they completed the legendary mission alive.
On the battlefield, rejoicing is a short but easy thing. Even a pair of dry socks can ease a nerves that have been tensed in war, or grin an ugly grin.
Chen Bin was like this, his face blackened by the flames of war was like the bottom of a pot, and when he laughed, in addition to his rosy lips and white teeth, his eyes and bones were spinning more like a living ghost.
"Ge Laozi, your baby is waiting to go, the day is coming and you will look good!"
Lying in a fortification made of stripped sandbags, he shouted at the sky. Anyway, his ears were almost deafened by the bomb, and he didn't know that his own cry was worse than that of a donkey.
Soon, the casualty figures were reported to Chen Bin from officers at all levels layer by layer.
"8 dead and 15 wounded, Ge Laozi, what are you doing!"
Chen Bin grinned complainingly, and in the face of the covering bombing of nearly 100 planes, this was already quite a good result.
Those shredded by bombs or swept under the camouflage nets of the sky, there is practically nothing. It was the bombs that missed the target, causing the above casualties.
Air defense, for an army that started with air power, is a thing that makes perfect with practice.
The French army outside the city had already begun to build relatively complete field fortifications. Since this is regarded by them as a city where the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army" has gathered heavy troops, they have taken great care and attention when dealing with this place.
In front of the small city, the French front slowly wriggled like a long snake winding on the ground, stretching to the sides. Infantry from the Indian and French Foreign Legions began to move into these fortified positions.
They knew that the strange guerrilla warfare in the face of the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army" trained by the Chinese Federation was just one of their means of attack. According to the analysis of the French colonial staff, these guys must have some offensive tricks.
Of course, the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army" guerrilla brigade has so far seen no weapons and equipment other than those 107-mm rocket launchers, which are extremely mobile.
Through the understanding of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces, the General Staff of the Colonial Army believes that the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army" will definitely have a considerable amount of heavy firepower. The reason why it has not appeared until now is that these heavy firepower are nothing more than a means of defense.
That's why French soldiers built fortifications here.

The spirit of attack, the French Foreign Legion and those Indian soldiers who had fought on the battlefields of the First World War against the Russians were not afraid. They lined up in a loose formation of infantry attacks, and slowly approached Anpei, a small city that had just been ravaged by air power, as if it had been completely destroyed.
The whole town stood alone in the smoke. There were no shots, no alarms, no life, as if it had become a city of death.
The French infantrymen hesitated as they moved forward, especially those veterans who had been on the battlefield. They felt a kind of dullness.
This dullness is like the sound of oppressive people trying to cry out before a thunderstorm.
Sweat trickled down the heads of the soldiers who walked slowly, their legs already bent, their sensitive eyes fixed on every place that seemed safe. Hopefully, when the other side attacks, they can hide there.
In the deathly silence, everyone felt an indescribable pressure. Especially those who fought on the battlefields of the First World War, especially those French soldiers who had fought together with the army of the "Thunder International" to resist the German invasion.
The comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side are now at opposite ends of the battle line.
While the hearts of the advancing French soldiers were "pounding", this feeling clung to his heart.
The hidden snipers in the city also sighed in their hearts as they looked at their compatriots in the scope.
"International politics, what a bunch of stinking shit! Hey, I said, are those politicians sick, France is so far away, what do they always provoke our federation to do, are they just talking about equality and fraternity? ”
The sniper cursed in a low voice, probably forgetting at this point that his favorite language to curse was elegant French. Under his steel helmet, there is also a head full of "straw", plus green eyes that will scare Chinese girls.
Talkative, presumably that's the fault of the Bundeswehr snipers. Everyone should remember the talkative sniper, his name is Shen Billy, and he used to be an Australian infantryman.
Later, when he was injured in the military hospital, he was abducted by Tang Yunyang to Thunder International. For this small request, Sir Haig, commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, gave Tang Yun a lot of face.
It was he, a sniper on the front line of World War I, who became a godfather of the Bundeswehr sniper after entering the Whampoa Military Academy because of his excellent grades.
And his habit of loving to talk has almost been inherited by the students he taught.
The sniper's deputies, the observers, became some poor beings. While your eyes are busy observing everything from a distance, you have to protect the sniper at all times.
And the most hateful thing for the observers is that these snipers are all faulty, and there is too much.
"Please, big brother, you can spare me, at most I will introduce you to everything I know!"
