[397] Three strands were annihilated

It has to be said that the two telegrams before and after, especially the chairman's telegram, gave Uncle Hu infinite confidence.

General Chen took the chairman's telegram and informed the commanders at all levels of the Military Advisory Group: "Comrades, work hard! Chairman M approved the battle, there is no invincible! ”

Ho Chi Minh made a decision on the spot and shouted the slogan of "decisive battle and decisive victory".

"Launch a general attack now! Take the besieged Colonel Leba's troops at all costs! Ho Chi Minh sent electricity to the troops.

Ho Chi Minh's telegram reached all command units, and even Chairman M sent a telegram in support of the annihilation of the enemy at Thia Valley. The Vietnamese army, who had been looking at the portrait of Chairman M and worshipping the leader of the Asian Producer Party, suddenly boosted their morale.

The Viet Minh troops finally withstood hunger, fatigue and casualties and held out on to their positions.

The time for the general offensive has finally arrived!

The Viet Minh units concentrated all their light and heavy machine guns and ammunition and rushed to Colonel Leba's position at the Commune Valley.

Seeing that the battle was raging on all sides, Colonel Leba's staff officer, Major Wangge, could no longer hold on: "Colonel! There are Vietnamese guys everywhere! They're rushing out of all the woods we can see! We must push them back at all costs! ”

Colonel Leba held a Stern submachine gun and shouted hoarsely, "Leave those bitches alone! Fall back! Fall back! We must withdraw to Seven Streams! Otherwise, we will all die in this valley of bitches! ”

……………………

It is difficult for those who have never been on the battlefield to understand why everything in that complicated battlefield, which is constantly stirred up like a face, is so different from the rigorous arguments of war examples in textbooks. When the smoke of gunpowder begins to fill, the course of actual combat begins to become disorderly and disorderly, and the enemy's reaction always makes inexperienced commanders feel at a loss. Even experienced commanders will be dragged to exhaustion.

The art of war requires the richest imagination, but it also needs the most resolute character as the foundation. The endless changes on the battlefield are constantly squeezing the correct judgment and resolute heart of the commanders.

As a result, the Vietnamese army, which lacked the basic qualities of large-scale operations, had to drop its chain again.

The cadres of the 308th Division reported to Wu Yuanjia that the French army had fought and retreated, and began to break through from the dense forest where the encirclement was weak.

So Wu Yuanjia ...... He really instructed the 308th Division to suspend the pursuit! Stand by now!

Wu Yuanjia reported to Chen Geng with the field telephone line that he had just connected: "We have been fighting for almost 4 days!" The soldiers were very tired, and it seemed that they could not completely destroy the enemy, so did they withdraw their troops? I have ordered the 308th Division to stop pursuing the enemy's breakthrough force and stand by in its original encirclement position.

Chen Geng was furious: "Don't fight such a battle again!" There is no fight to fight! ”

General Chen is a typical Confucian general, but even if he is a clay man, he still has a dirty temperament. He showed excitement that had not been seen for many years, and shouted on the phone: "If such a battle is not fought, I will roll up the covers and leave!" ”

Probably aware of his excitement, General Chen tried to adjust his breathing, and said with restraint: "Wu Yuanjia, at such a critical moment, the headquarters is shaken, and it will bury the great opportunity for the victory of the battle!" ”

After speaking, General Chen snorted and hung up the phone heavily.

After thinking about it, General Chen was still not sure whether Wu Yuanjia would continue to be second B to the end, so he had to send a telegram to Ho Chi Minh again.

When Ho Chi Minh heard the news, he immediately demanded that Vo Nguyen Giap's 308th Division not rest for a moment, continue to catch up, and encircle and encroach on the French breakthrough troops!

In the command headquarters, General Tran constantly contacted our army advisers at the front to inquire about the current situation of the Vietnamese army.

Wang Yanquan, adviser to the 308th Division, replied: "You can fight!" The casualties of the 308th Division were not large, only more than 300 people, and at present the main reason was fatigue, and there were also those student cadres who had a bad fighting style and kept complaining about being tired and tired, and the soldiers were very brave and tenacious. ”

Zhang Zhishan, an adviser to the 174th Regiment, who had just wiped out the 1st Parachute Battalion of the Foreign Legion, reported: "If it can fight, the 174th Regiment can enter the battle at any time." ”

Hao Shizhong, an adviser to the 209th Regiment, reported: "It's not a problem at all, and you can continue to fight." ”

After hearing this, General Chen did not have a trace of a smile on his face, because he realized how serious the current problem of the Vietnamese army was, this is a problem in the depths of the soul, a problem of style!

……………………

Colonel Le Bar, with his exhausted French officers, fled along the narrow paths of the valley.

The French troops in the dense forests around them could hear the sound of gunfire everywhere, and from time to time Viet Minh troops rushed over the mountains and into the trails to encircle and attack the fleeing French troops.

By the early morning of the next day, the Bayard battle group led by Colonel Leba had finally been completely wiped out, and Colonel Leba himself had been captured.

Hearing the good news of victory one by one, General Chen was not moved by the victory in front of him, and quickly ordered the transfer of troops and launched a siege on Colonel Sakdong's southbound troops.

From the beginning of the attack into the mountains, Colonel Sakdong was harassed and delayed along the way, and he was never able to get close to Colonel Leba's "Bayard Battle Group", which was being intercepted in the dense forest on the 477 Heights by the independent battalion of the Vietnamese army deployed by General Chen. When the eastern part of Sak had just joined up with the remnants of the hundreds of fleeing soldiers in the "Bayard Battle Group", they were attacked by the Vietnamese army, which was chasing after the rout, and the morale was high.

Colonel Sakdong went all the way south to middle school, sleeping in the dense forest, suffering unspeakably, being harassed by the militia troops every day, and was exhausted at this moment. At this moment, after a fierce attack by the Vietnamese army, which was attacked by the victory, it suddenly collapsed.

Colonel Sakdong had no choice but to give the order, and the whole army was dispersed into platoon-level squads to break through the encirclement, with only one goal - "to withdraw to Qixi".

The result was even more miserable, when such a headless fly-like rebel army had gone deep into the mountains and dense forests to fight for a day and a night, Colonel Sakdong was captured alive!

Upon learning of the news that the Leba Legion and the Sakdon Legion had been completely annihilated, the commander-in-chief of the French Indochinese Expeditionary Force, Admiral Revos, almost passed out in the Hanoi headquarters.

The next person to be hit by the blow was Colonel Ben, who went north from Qixi with 800 French troops to reinforce him.

The morale of the Vietnamese army, which came with a series of great victories, was already high to a boiling point at this moment, and after driving together the remnants of more than 200 remnants who had fled to Qixi and the 800 reinforcements of Colonel Ben, they used General Chen's kraft candy tactics to surround them, and then launched an all-out assault like peeling an onion against the frightened lone army.

After a series of great victories in the past few days, the Vietnamese army has truly appreciated the art of command and the great tactics when they are proud of their eyebrows. From top to bottom, everyone in the Vietnamese army praised the Chinese general Chen Geng's kraft candy tactics, even though many of them had never eaten kraft candy......

The colonel's lone soldier, together with the exhausted remnants of the army, could not resist for even a day, and was completely annihilated in Highway 4 and the surrounding mountains and forests.

When the news was transmitted back to the headquarters, General Chen looked at the battle report, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he ordered like a domino: "The French army in North Vietnam has lost all its troops, and they can no longer maintain the defense line of Highway 4!"

I ordered all troops to move south along Highway No. 4 and set up ambushes on the escape routes of the strongholds at Qixi, Tongdeng, Liangshan, and Mong Cai, and lay ambushes layer by layer, so as to block the French troops who were about to completely abandon the strongholds on the defensive line of Highway No. 4 and flee and gather towards the coastal areas. ”

The guard yelled, "Yes! Heads! ”
