Chapter 64: Summary of the Vietnam War (I)

The war room of the Liangjia Army Headquarters of Hainan Base, a hall of more than 200 square meters, with four pillars standing in a rectangular shape in the center of the hall, relying on these four pillars to build a super large rectangular battlefield simulation sand table. It was here that Liang Jiajun's Vietnam War summary meeting was held.

Although the war room was large, it was crowded around the sand table because of the large number of people, so that some people could only squeeze into the doorway or lie on the windowsill.

Grand Master Liang was dressed in a straight military uniform, with shiny riding boots on his feet, holding a thin wooden stick, standing at one end of the sand table, looking at the officers of the Liang family army gathered around him, there was a sudden pride in his chest, and there was a kind of rush to scold Fang Xuan in front of the heroes!

After a month of actual combat training, what exactly was going on in the war left a deep imprint on everyone's hearts. These young officers now have lost their youthful youthfulness, let alone the playfulness of the previous recruit training; The experience of blood and fire, the test of life and death, made them quickly grow into real soldiers. This is more effective than any training or military academy study, just like those marshals and generals in New China, many of them are rural children with no education, and their military talents are all fought in actual combat!

However, not a single officer or staff officer in this hall can stand up and sum up the war for everyone, sum up the experience and lessons, and realize what mistakes and deficiencies they have. which wrongdoings should be criticized, and which correct measures should be commended; Who should be criticized and who should be rewarded for meritorious service.

These things must be demonstrated to Liang Jiajun by he, the regiment commander, the PLA major general expert in the previous life, and the second knife in military command, as a model for Liang Jiajun's military management in the future, and form a unique model and tradition of Liang Jiajun.

It was already 1869, and the fourteen-year-old Grand Master Liang had begun to enter the period of puberty, only to hear the voice of his young man in the voice change period ringing in the war hall: "Everyone! In this war against Vietnam, we have undoubtedly achieved a great victory! At the beginning, the operational goal of fighting in Vietnam was to obtain the right to mine coal in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, and now we have not only achieved this goal, but also obtained the right to open company branches and conduct trade in the five cities of Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Vinh and Da Nang in Vietnam, obtained the right to use Hai Phong Port and Quang An Port free of charge, obtained an indemnity of three million taels of silver from the Vietnamese government, seized a large amount of booty, captured more than 5,000 Vietnamese soldiers, and more importantly! We have played with the prestige of our army! It has made our escort regiment famous! ”

Speaking of this, Grand Master Liang took the lead in applauding, and then the hall resounded with more and more intense applause, and everyone suddenly found that at this time, desperately clapping their palms can indeed express their warm emotions!

Grand Master Liang raised his hands and made a downward motion after a while, and the applause immediately stopped, and the uniformity of the soldiers was already reflected. Liang Haowen, who was also at the scene, suddenly found that this army had become different from before.

Grand Master Liang's little rooster voice continued to sound: "Everyone, we have won the victory this time, obtained so many results, and at the same time paid a heavy price. Fifteen of the wounded who were sent to Canton for treatment had recovered and would soon return to the team after their injuries were returned. Five of the seven seriously injured brothers are out of danger and are about to recover, but unfortunately two brothers did not survive and have left us forever. In other words, we have lost a total of seventeen brothers in this war, and there will be seventeen new graves in the cemetery of our base. I hope that everyone will not forget these comrades-in-arms who used to get along with us day and night, these brothers, and often go to the cemetery and ancestral hall to see them and talk to them in the future; Now, I propose, a minute of silence in memory of these fallen comrades".

Afterwards, Grand Master Liang lowered his head, his face sad, and mourned silently. The hall was full of people following his example, bowing their heads in mourning and mourning for their deceased comrades. The movement of applause had been learned in training before, and this was the first time that this movement of silence had appeared, and everyone had learned the movements of the regimental commander; I have to admit that every new action he makes and every new term he says makes sense. Regardless of age, his ability should be a leader.

"There were indeed quite a few mistakes and loopholes in our initial battle plan, and we were trying to scare the Vietnamese under the banner of the British, and we thought that the Vietnamese would not dare to fight us. But war is war, not child's play, and there are always unpredictable changes; Facts have proved that our self-righteous estimation was a kind of mistake, and the result of this mistake was that our already small forces were still distributed in two places far apart, unable to echo each other, unable to support each other, and if we did not adjust in time, it was very likely that we would be divided into two pieces by the enemy, surrounded and broken by each! Because our enemies have far more troops than us, although their army is not of high quality and is not well equipped, when the enemy is too numerous than us, it can make up for their lack of quality and still defeat us. ”

Grand Master Liang's words aroused everyone's thinking, although the war has passed, but not long after the interval, it seems to be vivid in the aftertaste.

"First of all, I would like to commend the brothers of the special combat team, you have worked hard! You have worked hard and made a contribution to this war! On behalf of all of you, I would like to thank and salute you! After speaking, Grand Master Liang took the lead in applauding again.

All 11 members of the special operations team were present, as each of them was an officer at or above the rank of platoon commander. The audience applauded for them, and the first time they experienced this kind of occasion, their first feeling was embarrassment and shyness, and gradually turned into happiness, satisfaction, pride, and glory caused by praise and respect. Speaking of which, they are all from reckless backgrounds, especially the captain Li Zishan, who is actually a wanted Jianghu thief, who has no status in the eyes of people, and his reputation is even worse; But today they were praised by the head of the regiment, respected by everyone, and felt the unprecedented honor! Death for a confidant! At this moment, these eleven hearts have decided to die for the head of the Liang family and the Liang family's army!

"The fact that the 2nd Battalion was able to take Hongji City without damage was the credit of the special combat team; The second battalion was able to withdraw from Hongji City in a timely and rapid manner because the special combat team conveyed my orders in a timely manner; The movement of the Hanoi garrison was quickly ascertained; The landing site of the coalition forces in northern Vietnam was identified; These are the merits of the special combat team. Our escort regiment implements a system in which those who are capable are promoted and those who are mediocre are demoted, and those who have meritorious service must be rewarded and those who have done so must be punished. As for the rewards and punishments, they will be announced at tomorrow's commendation meeting, so I won't say much about them today."

Grand Master Liang once again reiterated the system of the Liang Family Army, in order to deepen everyone's impression, the Liang Family Army will continue to expand the army in the future, this system, this tradition must be passed on from generation to generation by these seed members!

"When the 2nd Battalion and the regimental headquarters converged, I once told you that if we had gone home and withdrawn from Vietnam at that time, then we would have suffered no losses, on the contrary, we would have gained some booty; At that time, I told you about the goal of the war, and if we had retreated at that time, we would not have achieved the goal of the war, and we would not have won the war, at best, we carried out a sneak attack on Vietnam, and we did not defeat the Vietnamese; Of course, they will not admit to being defeated by us, because we fled in disgrace in front of the Vietnamese army."

"Speaking of which, I'm going to talk to you about what war is. In the future, when you are in high positions, you will understand that war is actually a continuation of politics. You may not understand this sentence now, let me give you an example, the British fought two opium wars with the Qing Dynasty, why did they raise troops from distant Europe to invade the Qing Dynasty? Is it just to get those Qing Dynasty reparations? No, they were for the British to gain a high status in the Qing Dynasty, to gain unimpeded access, and to gain the right to do business and trade. Let's look at the current Qing Dynasty, what is the status of the British in the Qing Dynasty? Did the officials of the Qing Dynasty dare to make things difficult for the British? Where can the British not go on the ground of the Great Qing Dynasty? Before the Opium War, it was very different from what it is now! ”

After talking too much, Master Liang drank a sip of water to moisten his throat and continued to teach his subordinates.
