Chapter 395 Female soldiers
[395] Female soldiers
At this time, General Chen had already rushed to the front-line headquarters, and he stood in front of the map, silently thinking in his heart.
General Chen, who was accustomed to big battles, didn't see this kind of petty fight in his eyes, but after thinking for a moment, he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered:
"Chen Liujun, tell your artillery to pay attention, now focus on striking at the connection point between the enemy's breakthrough troops and the broken rear troops."
"Xiao Yong, you told the 174th Regiment to speed up the sealing, probably at noon, the Bayard battle group will be torn into two pieces by you, you don't have to worry about the part that broke out, the 308th Division outflanked from Shegu will be responsible for eating those French troops who broke through."
"Wang Renchu, your department pays attention to air defense, the sky is already dawn, and the air support of the French army is coming soon."
Just when General Chen gave the order.
"Chief, telegram from the commander of the 308th Division Command." In the command headquarters, the guards quickly took the translated telegram and read it.
"The enemy in Shegu has just broken through, and it is very fierce, the enemy is equipped with light and heavy weapons, and the firepower is strong...... The 308th Division was exhausted and running out of food...... It had just come head-to-head with the enemy and suffered heavy casualties...... Now that it is dawn, once the enemy's air force arrives and the terrain in Shegu is flat, our 308th Division will inevitably suffer heavy losses...... The art of war is cloudy, the poor are not chasing, and the besieged division will be ...... It was suggested that the 308th Division abandon the high ground east of Shegu and cause the enemy to flee to Qixi...... The 308th Division moved closer to the northwest and fully cooperated with the 174th and 209th Regiments to encircle the rest of the enemy south of Dongxi.
As soon as he heard this, General Chen's brows tightened.
After listening to it all, General Chen couldn't help but raise his voice angrily and said:
"Send a report to Commander Wu immediately, and he will definitely not be allowed to take half a step back! The original battle Jihua is never allowed to be changed! The 308th Division must surround the breakout troops of the Bayard battle group in Shegu and annihilate them at all costs! I know that the 308th Division is his starting unit! You tell Commander Wu! Let him not save his strength, he must resolutely follow Jihua, not afraid of sacrifice, and implement it to the letter! ”
"Yes!"
The more General Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and after he was angry, he was shocked and angry, and after being angry, he was a little afraid.
He was angry that Wu Yuanjia actually planned to drop the chain at this juncture. What was surprising was that Wu Yuanjia could say such a thing at this time. Angry, in order to preserve the strength of his descendant 308th Division, Wu Yuanjia actually fought timidly. What I am afraid of is that if Wu Yuanjia does not ask for instructions and directly lets go of the French army, once the enemy flees back to Qixi, how much sacrifice will be required to capture Qixi, which is heavily garrisoned in the future? And the goal set in this campaign to completely annihilate the elite troops in the border area of the French army will also be in vain!
After thinking about it, General Tran ended his anxious pacing and immediately gave the order to send a report to Ho Chi Minh at the base headquarters.
After Ho Chi Minh received the telegram, his mind was not confused.
Ho Chi Minh was born into a poor family of scholars, his father was a sinologist who was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and after being on the list of township exams, he became a teacher, and later served as a petty official, and Zuihou also served as a larger magistrate. Ho Chi Minh, who has been familiar with the classics of Chinese books since he was a child, naturally understands whether to listen to Brother Wen, a teacher, or follow the instructions of General Chen, who has experienced many battles.
In the past, Ho Chi Minh had been fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and he had never seen such a "bold" "division-level" battle. Although in the just-concluded Second Battle of Dong Xi, the Viet Minh forces eliminated two French companies for an unprecedented time, just like that, Ho Chi Minh did not have the luxury of wanting to be able to annihilate three mobile battalions of the French army at once.
However, he believed in Chen Geng's judgment and believed in the ability of this old friend who had been through a hundred battles. Because this person was sent by Chairman M, Chairman M told him that General Chen can be a marshal if he talks about military merits.
Ho Chi Minh immediately replied to the call, vetoing the suggestion that Vo Nguyen Gia had just made to him, and in the telegram instructed the 308th Division on the front line, asking them to "endure fatigue, hunger, and resolutely annihilate the enemy at any sacrifice."
The battle began in the early hours of the morning and lasted for a whole day, and by the early hours of the next morning, the Bayard battle group had been divided into two parts, east and west, surrounded by the 209th, 174th and 308th Divisions respectively.
After fighting for eight rounds in one position, Chen Liujun and Yu Mengbao disassembled the artillery carriage and ordered the Vietnamese militia to carry mortars on their backs and run to another position. The most taboo thing to do is to stay in one place, and once the opponent returns fire, it may be connected to the pot. Chen Liujun, as a veteran artillery officer, has three flavors.
The two of them rushed to a rectangular depression that had been dug with the squad of four mortars. Chen Liujun looked at the Vietnamese cadets and said, "Why haven't the shells been sent yet?" What happened to the militia convoy? ”
As he was talking, the female militia transport team behind finally came up.
Chen Liujun saw that there was a thin figure mixed in the female militia transport team, which was the "big eyes" that Duanhe noodles gave them to eat when they came to the base on the first day.
Carrying a rattan frame behind her, taller than half a human being, "Big Eyes" was barefoot, following the other barefoot female soldiers in the convoy through the grass and mud.
"Sister Xiao'e, why are you here, where are you, Abba? Why didn't you follow your Abba? ”
"Big Eyes" put down the rattan frame, and when she heard Chen Liujun ask her Abba, her eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she was about to fall. She bit her lip vigorously and said:
"Report to the head of China, Abba went to deliver the letter and was arrested."
"What?" Chen Liujun was taken aback.
A female militia captain who delivered ammunition explained to Chen Liujun in a whisper, and Chen Liujun learned that the little girl's father was arrested by the French army and the Baoda puppet army who entered the base area to sweep in order to deliver the letter, and was cut off by the puppet army on the spot and hung at the entrance of the village where he sent the letter. Because the sweep army has not yet withdrawn, no one has dared to collect the corpse until now.
"O wretched child!" Chen Liujun suddenly felt a sadness, the kind of simple kindness unique to the Chinese working people, he couldn't help but want to hug this poor child on this battlefield.
"Isn't she an orphan? How can you let orphans go to war! Chen Liujun's thick eyebrows furrowed, but he still held back and didn't hug his big eyes.
"Xiao'e, don't follow the cannonballs, after this trip, hurry back to the base area." Chen Liujun instructed.
"Nope! I'm going to help you fight the French devils! Xiao'e's big eyes widened, and her clumsy Chinese pronunciation was firm, as if it was not something that could be produced in this small thin body.
“…… That...... Nguyen Xiao'e...... After you, follow Brother Chen and Brother Yu, learn to shoot artillery with us, and you will be an artillery soldier in the future! Big brother teaches you, and you must learn it! Chen Liujun thought about it and made up his mind.
Yu Mengbao glanced at Chen Liujun, sighed, and then nodded, agreeing to this bad idea.
"It's okay, let her follow us and eat enough every day, which is also a comfort to her father."
Chen Liujun thought more in his heart. During his time in Vietnam, he saw that the Vietnamese women and children worked diligently all day long, but they did not have enough to eat, and although the army was a little harder, they could at least eat food. The treatment of artillery soldiers is better than that of ordinary soldiers, and Chen Liujun feels that if he is left alone, this child may be killed by artillery fire on the way to deliver shells one day.
Ruan Xiao'e was so excited that she couldn't even speak, her barefoot toes were picked in the mud, and she nodded desperately.
"Mengbao, after going back and fighting this battle, you fill in this child's name in the list of the first batch of students."
Yu Mengbao asked: "Sixth Army, do you think this is a violation of discipline?" ”
The corners of Chen Liujun's mouth twitched: "It's okay, what if the chief knows?" You see, most of these students selected by Vietnam themselves can't read a single word, and most of them can't speak Chinese. ”
"Well, that's right." Yu Mengbao nodded heavily.
Of course, Chen Liujun and Yu Mengbao didn't know at this time that many years later, this little girl they brought out single-handedly became the commander of Vietnam's first female anti-aircraft artillery battalion, the first female general, until the commander of the Vietnamese Armed Police Force, and finally grew into the first female prime minister of Vietnam......
