Chapter 796: Breakout!

When the second unit of the French army was blocked by the Taiwan division step by step, Tashan gradually divided the victory and defeat!

Vieira tried his best to break out of the encirclement of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but unfortunately he only had the strength of one regiment, and the three infantry regiments and an artillery regiment surrounded him, such a huge disparity in strength was not so easy to smooth.

Zhang Wenbing personally commanded this battle, surrounded Tashan with three layers in the interior and three layers outside, and from the moment the attack was launched, until now, the attack has not stopped, and the various battalions have taken turns to attack the French defense line.

By the evening of the next day, the casualties of the French army had exceeded 2,000 people, and there was still no trace of the French reinforcements.

Vieira's mouth was bitter, the French army under his command is the 'elite' of the French Republic, and now in just a day and a half, most of the casualties have been lost, if the reinforcements can not arrive, then the annihilation of the whole army is almost a foregone conclusion, what should I do?

The telegram from the governor of Guba had been sent, and now another French army had set out, but it encountered a strong resistance on the way, and was stubbornly blocked by the enemy near Mount Sinai fifty miles southeast of Ta Mountain, and after a day of 'fierce' fighting, the French army used all their tricks, but could not defeat the enemy army in front, and was nailed to the foot of Mount Sinai, and could not break through to Tower Hill at all!

The chief of staff beside him, Orev, said in a deep voice: "Regiment commander, what should we do?" The strength of the enemy army is too strong, they are only afraid of no less than five or six thousand, let's not think of a way, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! ”

Vieira sighed and said depressedly, "What to do?" What can I do? Who would have thought that in tiny Vietnam, we would encounter such a powerful enemy, it is obvious that they are not Vietnam's armed forces, and those shrimp soldiers and crabs of the Vietnamese rebels will not be able to help us at all! Alas, leave it to fate, and hopefully hold out until the arrival of reinforcements! ”

Oliver hurriedly said: "Commander, no, now that the reinforcements are on lease at Mount Sinai, even if they break through the enemy's resistance, who knows if they will encounter stronger resistance in the next journey?" Let's stay in the lonely mountain, that's the way to die! ”

Vieira's eyes jumped twice and asked, "Then what do you mean, let's break through?" ”

Oliver nodded fiercely and said: "Commander, now we only have one way to break through, before dawn, let's take advantage of the most lax defense of the other party, to break through to the east, I have observed in the past two days, the artillery fire in the east is the weakest, we will break through to the east, bypass the shark's mouth, march in the direction of Hongji, get rid of the enemy's encirclement, as long as we can break through the encirclement and arrive at Hongji City, then we will be safe!" ”

Oliver didn't answer and nailed his eyes tightly to the military map, Hongji is forty miles away from Tashan, and after breaking through the encirclement, he marched all the way, and he could reach Hongji in four or five hours! Where is there still a reinforced company of the French army stationed, and there is a lot of military equipment, it is indeed feasible, as long as the city is defended and resists the enemy's attack, then it will be easy to do next, and when the time comes, the governor will naturally mobilize heavy troops to support him again. say

Oliver said in a deep voice: "Okay, according to your idea, order the soldiers to hurry up and rest, and at half past three in the morning, break through to the east, and arrive at Hongji in the shortest possible time!" ”

At this time, on the position of the Taiwan division, Zhang Wenbing still did not rest, this day and night attack, the soldiers under his command have been exhausted to the extreme, after all, they are facing the tower mountain to carry out a back attack, in the terrain is at a disadvantage, the soldiers' physical consumption is very huge.

But at this time, Zhang Wenbing did not dare to relax, this is a tiger who was put in a cage by himself, although in the past two days, the strength of the French army has been less than half of the time when he was just 'engaged', but it still has strong combat effectiveness, and his own casualties are not small, the other side has suffered two thousand casualties, and his own casualties have approached two thousand, and the losses are comparable to those of the French army.

Ge Jianfeng, the commander of the 46th Brigade on the side, said: "Division commander, why don't you go and rest for a while, and I'll just keep an eye here." ”

Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said: "Lao Ge, we can't ignore it now, the current French army still has combat strength, and after two days of fighting, our army is a little tired, if the French army launches a breakthrough at this moment, we are really passive, don't forget to work hard alone!" We must not be careless, I will continue to stare here, you immediately inspect our camp now, especially in the east, where the troops are the weakest, you must be careful and vigilant, as long as it is past tonight, there will be another big battle tomorrow, I am afraid that the French army will be almost over! ”

Ge Jianfeng nodded and said, "Okay, division commander, you also pay attention to rest, I'll go to the position on the east side to take a look!" ”

Zhang Wenbing patted Ge Jianfeng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, old Ge, it's hard work, be careful on the road!" ”

It can be said that Zhang Wenbing's strategy and tactics up to now have been very successful, and it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and Zhang Wenbing made up his mind to keep all the French troops here.

But Zhang Wenbing still underestimated the combat power of the French army a little, and the French army at this time was already in the craziest stage before death. Vieira and Oliver are now at the craziest stage, this is the last fight, if they win, then they will successfully break through, and if they lose, they will only be defeated in advance, and they will have to fight hard for their own lives.

At half past three o'clock in the morning, the French troops on Tower Hill were fully armed, carried all their weapons and ammunition, and secretly gathered all the French troops around them to the front of the position on the east side.

Vieira looked at the guard company in front of him who was ready to charge, and said in a deep voice: "My warriors, now the time has come for our survival, you are the proudest army warriors in France, but now you are surrounded here by unidentified armed forces, with heavy casualties, this is the shame of our French army, today, when it is time for us to fight hard, our French warriors have no heroes who are afraid of death, for the glory of France, give me all the ' Spirit' strength, fierce attack, must break through the defense line in the east, life and death, in this battle! Let's go! ”

The remaining French troops, close to 2,000, began to launch a fierce attack on their positions in the east, trying to break out.

After all, the Taiwan Division is not the first division, if the first division is here, I am afraid that it will not take such a long time, the French army has already solved it, but the gap between the military quality of the Taiwan division and the first division is still very large, and the soldiers of the Taiwan division are now extremely tired.
