"You're right, Yura, China is not a problem sometimes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Gromyko just refuted the protest of the United States, and by the way, the United States and China discussed and kicked the ball back. Because Serov has been blocking news about China, and at the same time has Eastern Europe doing the same, resulting in the information separation of China within the Soviet bloc, China is completely air in the eyes of the Soviet Union, and has been ignored for many years.

Although the means are a little despicable, but the effect is very good, China is regarded as air, the Soviet Union has not adopted a suppressive attitude, all kinds of provocations are completely ignored, in fact, except for the members of the Central Presidium, the Soviets do not know that China is making trouble, the consequence is that the Soviet Union has not been pressed by large soldiers, China has always felt good about itself. It is believed that the socialist camp is a double giant, except for the USSR that is itself.

In this case, China has always jumped very high, and this time in the protest of the United States against the North Vietnamese attack on South Vietnam, Gromyko also unceremoniously put the blame on China, saying that the influence of the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia is limited, and you should find another country to protest.

"No matter what, there is a double-edged sword, when the finger is only pointed at others, the other four fingers are aimed at themselves, China's voice has always been very loud, we have not spoken out, and the Americans will naturally not trouble us." Serov snorted and smiled, "Who made our Chinese comrades keep their voices high, they gave us a lot of trouble, but sometimes they do help us a lot." ”

The question of why China will turn to the United States is, of course, related to Khrushchev, but it has little to do with it. Although the Soviet Union was scolded for being bloody during the Khrushchev period, things could still be controlled, Khrushchev was keen on debate and did not threaten China with military arms, and in the Brezhnev era, Brezhnev, who was unwilling to grind his tongue, simply came to save a little trouble, mobilized some second-line troops to the Sino-Soviet border, and at the same time organized the theory of limited sovereignty.

It was the theory picked up by Serov in this time and space, coupled with some second-line troops of the Soviet Union, that directly scared China. This is the driving force behind the approach between China and the United States, and China is not stupid, and when the Soviet Union did not react, it was addicted to it, and when it saw that the Soviet Union began to reorganize its armed forces, coupled with the spread of the theory of limited sovereignty, it instantly felt that it was not safe.

Serov believes that even if China and the Soviet Union break up, China does not want the Soviet Union to disintegrate, which can be seen from the reports of the two years before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In fact, the Soviet Union did not do anything to China, the Far East is just a second- and third-line army, and the expansion of the army has been a matter since the start of the Afghan war, and the reason why China is frightened has nothing to do with how strong the Soviet army in the Far East is, China is too weak to even deal with the KGB border guards.

At present, the armed forces of the Soviet Union on the Sino-Soviet border are about 700,000, about one-fifth of the armed forces of the Soviet Union, and last year the Soviet Union just surpassed the United States in steel production, becoming the world's No. 1 in terms of steel production, the world's No. 1 in oil production, the world's No. 1 in synthetic rubber production, the world's No. 1 in cotton production, the world's No. 3 in silk fabrics, the world's No. 2 in the number of beef cattle, and the world's No. 1 in dairy products.

In many individual statistics on industrial and agricultural products, the Soviet Union has reached the point where it is on a par with the United States, and it is meaningless to compare caviar, which accounts for 90 percent of the world's production in the Soviet Union.

Many of the levels that were only reached in the late seventies, after the distribution of some supporting industries to the allies, the Soviet Union's manpower could be concentrated, and with the support of far more allies than in history, and the help of the population and economy of these allies to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was given strong support, and last year's Soviet economic growth was 10 percent.

If this growth rate is always followed, Khrushchev's statement that the United States will no longer be able to catch up with the Soviet Union is not empty words at all. The Soviet military industry grew faster than the Soviet Union, because there were many wars, and the Soviet Union had more weapons to supply to the allies. At the same time, because the Soviet economy was strong, there was also a demand for military expansion, and even the Kirov-class strategic cruisers were planned to have a few more, and it was expected that eight would be built to be used with Soviet aircraft carriers.

The North Vietnamese offensive after a year's break clearly had a huge advantage in the initial phase, and even though the South Vietnamese used the U.S. Air Force to transport reinforcements, they were still unable to repel the North Vietnamese forces around Xuan Loc.

Under the all-out offensive of the North Vietnamese Army on the southern front, the South Vietnamese troops gradually could not withstand it, and more importantly, due to the continuous attacks back and forth, the South Vietnamese military, which had been replenished by the United States with military supplies, felt the shortage of ammunition for the first time.

The number of dead in South Vietnam has now reached 8,000, and with the wounded, it can be said that half of the number of Xuan Luc's armed forces has been defeated, and you must know that even in modern warfare, once the combat attrition exceeds 30 percent, it is a very dangerous thing, not to mention the loss of half of its strength.

In the end, the battle was still fought first by the North Vietnamese army, and in addition to continuing to attack in the front, the North Vietnamese also sent troops to bypass from the flank, and it was clear that they were preparing to launch a new attack. Behind the flanks of the South Vietnamese army. km to Saigon nearby. This is the most convenient shortcut to Saigon. And South Vietnam just needs to hold on here. Then they will be able to protect this bridgehead to break the siege. On the other hand, the South Vietnamese soldiers who were still defending the city in the city were in danger.

"Near, near...... the anti-tank rocket in his hand was almost wrung out of the water, with nervousness and excitement, the soldier kept praying, one, two, three ......, when he shouted three in his heart, the young soldier immediately jumped out of the right side of the tank, and at the same time steadily pulled the trigger in his hand, the anti-tank rocket in his hand rushed to the side armor of the T54 tank with a scorching tailfire, at the same time, the soldier immediately threw away the bazooka, disappeared from people's field of vision, boom ......, A huge explosion sounded, and the tank immediately began to catch fire.

Bursts of fire erupted from the tank. It was as if it had stumbled, and the sound of the motor fell silent. It looked like the flame was stuck to the armor plate like a piece of gummy candy, and like a rope made of flame. Trap the tank tightly and engulf the entire tank. After a few seconds, the hatch that had been tightly covered clattered open, and the first thing that stood out was a puff of smoke that bubbled out, and then several soldiers jumped out of it. The men howled helplessly, waving their arms desperately and others rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their jumpsuits. A cloud of smoke and dust slowly descended. Then there was silence. The gunfire on both sides of the battlefield stopped.

"Artillery units are ready to deliver extended strikes!" After encountering resistance, the North Vietnamese artillery began to exert its might, raining countless shells on the positions defended by the South Vietnamese army.

This is an episode on the battlefield, but more often than not, it is the rampage of tanks on the North Vietnamese side, and in addition to the vast countryside of South Vietnam, which has long been controlled by the Communists, the unit responsible for guarding the southern road of Thuan Loc is actually a lone army, isolated in this position, as the battle continues, the nearby bushes have already been blown up, and they will be exposed to the North Vietnamese army, and their situation will become more and more dangerous.

On the outside positions, they were also upset by the slogans of reunifying the motherland, and the South Vietnamese soldiers were all urban populations, and land was also very important to them, and the land reform in the north also attracted many ordinary people.

Two days later, the South Vietnamese troops on the southern road of Xuan Loc raised the white flag, and Xuan Loc was completely surrounded. No campaign could be supplied entirely by the air force, and the last one to boast of such a sea port was Goering of the Third Reich, and Field Marshal Paulus, who was buried in the GDR, certainly did not disagree.

Under these circumstances, Nguyen Van Thieu ordered to abandon Xuan Loc, shrink his forces, and concentrate the main force of the army on Saigon to defend the capital of the South Vietnamese government. The U.S. Air Force was asked to help evacuate the South Vietnamese troops in Thu Loc, but the U.S. refused. Because Xuan Loc no longer had an airfield to land, and the pilots of the U.S. Air Force could not evacuate in the face of artillery fire, the fate of Xuan Loc's South Vietnamese troops was already sealed.

Immediately after the Battle of Xuan Loc ended, the North Vietnamese resumed operations after a few days of rest, carrying out a strategic offensive campaign. The attempt was to annihilate the enemy stationed in the Sai Yuan area of central South Vietnam and to cut off the northern provinces of South Vietnam from the Saigon area and the southern provinces. The Vietnamese army planned to first cut off Highways 19, 14 and 21, and then use the main force to destroy the enemy forces stationed in Bang My Thuot, Duc Li, Da Song and other places, and finally encircle and annihilate the enemy in the Po Lai Ku-Kon Tum area and occupy the Tay Yuan area, starting the Tay Nhara Campaign.

At the same time, another North Vietnamese army, under the command of Van Jin Dung, started the Hue-Da Nang Campaign, after the campaign was launched, the Vietnamese army first cut off Highway No. 1, blocked the sea ports such as Thuan An and Si Xian, and defeated two divisions of the Saigon army, forming a blockade of Hue, and the Vietnamese army conquered Phu Loc and cut off the escape route of the Hue defenders to Da Nang.

"It seems that the Vietnam War will end a year earlier than in history, so will it be possible to help the Thai Communist Party in the time it has gained? After all, there is more time. Serov, who was armed with intelligence, thought.

The Communist Party of Vietnam itself has influence over Laos and Cambodia, and also supports the Communist Party of Thailand, because of geographical factors, Indonesia, as an archipelago country, is somewhat ineffective, and Indonesia's greatest use is to overstock Malaysia and Australia, forcing these two countries to develop their military strength and improve their armaments.

"Chairman, we have received an unusual piece of news that we cannot distinguish between the true and the false." Morikin, the head of the First General Bureau, came in at this time and took a telegram and said. (To be continued.) )
