Chapter 1580 Killing the Bloody Road

The military horse farm under the Dongshan Temple in the north of the Xufu River is surrounded by green mountains and green bamboos. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt was the turn of spring and summer, and the whole military horse farm was green and quiet, and wildflowers could be seen everywhere.

Two long rows of brick and concrete buildings, where stallions live, are stables, and outside the stables, a wooden fence against the babbling stream is propped up with an open military tent, and a long table covered with white tablecloths is filled with snacks, snacks, drinks, alcohol, fruits, vegetables and vegetables. Pineapples and bananas, as well as cherries and plums from Syria, are mixed together to create an attractive aroma.

A group of former senior French army and navy officers dressed in simple settling army camouflage training uniforms sat on the grassy area covered with oiled paper, and met with the visiting French envoy Jules Brown. Henry communicates. The food at this buffet is all Jule. Henry bought it in the city of Syria, and the An Jiajun did not make it difficult, but sent someone to help send these things to the military horse farm, which led to today's seemingly good buffet.

"The combat effectiveness of the Anjia Army is much stronger than we imagined, they are equipped with tanks, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, the penetration rate of trucks is very high, the artillery is equipped with a large number of 150mm and 120mm caliber cannons, the degree of mechanization is not inferior to our French Army, and the quality of individual soldiers is only higher than ours."

Major General René, the former commander of the 1st French Division in Annam, said softly.

Drew. Henry frowned: "Is that really the case?" "It is a common tactic for losers to exaggerate the strength of their opponents to mitigate their culpability. Henry did not think that the An Army had the strength to surpass the French Army.

"There's no doubt about it!"

Former Cochinchina Commissioner Borg heard from Jule. Henry questioned with a little mockery, and then saw his friend Major General René blushing, and said with some anger:

"Although I am a civilian official, I know that what General René said is the common feeling of all the troops who have fought against the Anjia army, and if Mr. Special Envoy does not believe me, I can ask the Japanese and see how they failed. The An Jia army is not only strong in combat, but also non-conformist in battle, good at surprise attacks, and this is how Saigon was lost. ”

Drew. Henry was noncommittal and looked around: "What do you think?" ”

Vice Admiral Esteba, the former commander of the North African Fleet, said ashamedly: "The An Jiajun is indeed full of cunning, and the ships of my fleet were deceived by the Anjiajun by fraudulent means. ”

"Slow, slow...... General, what do you mean...... An Jiajun captured the ships of your fleet? "Jule. Henry asked, surprised.

"Yes! Is there anything wrong with this? That bastard from Kinsol defected to the Chinese, set up a bureau for me, and coaxed me to rest in Cam Ranh Bay, only to find out that night the Marines of the Anjia Army touched the ships and subdued us all. Kinsol also persuaded me to join the South China Navy, but I refused! ”

Lieutenant General Esteva shook his head.

Drew. Henry looked suspicious: "But the naval battle report in Nanhua says that your fleet was sunk by their air force along with Kinsor's fleet, and none of them escaped the net...... What the hell is going on? ”

Lieutenant General Esteva's eyes widened:

"No, after I led the fleet out of the Strait of Malacca, Kinsol sent a large formation of naval ships to meet us at the junction of the South China Sea and the Gulf of Siam, and then we sent the army to the port of Saigon and rushed to Cam Ranh Bay together. On this way, I observed Kinsol's ship formation more than once, and although some ships were missing, the whole was relatively intact. That night, all of our ships docked in Cam Ranh Bay were received by the An Jia Army, and it was impossible for them to blow up their own ships......"

Drew. Dripping cold sweat oozed from Henry's forehead: "So, Admiral Esteva, the South China Navy has received your North African fleet in its entirety?" ”

"That's right!"

Esteva nodded: "And according to me, it is estimated that Kinsor's Mediterranean fleet has also fallen into the hands of the An Jiajun!" ”

Rear Admiral Gergil, commander of the Annan Navy, looked depressed: "This is how my fleet fell into the hands of the An family's army. On that day, in the name of Kinsol's ocean-going fleet, they deceived the river defense and entered the Saigon military port, and suddenly attacked, and my fleet had no time to react, and they were controlled! The situation is extremely bad. ”

"Oh my God!"

Drew. Henry gasped: "In this way, all of our three fleets have fallen into the hands of the An Family...... Why do they say that all the ships are sunk? ”

Former Governor of Annan Jule, who has been listening calmly. Admiral Brevier smiled bitterly:

"It is very obvious that South China does not want to cause uneasiness among the great naval powers such as Britain, the United States, and Japan, and if we calculate carefully, our three fleets combined, with three battleships, two battlecruisers, nine cruisers, and 23 destroyers, are already a huge fleet with ocean-going attack capabilities, and can at least rank among the top 10 navies in the world. But the South China side is secretive, and people continue to ignore their naval strength, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

"Just imagine, if Prime Minister Daladier hadn't sent a special envoy to see it this time, but rashly sent troops, it is estimated that the transport fleet would have been ambushed by the South China Navy as soon as it entered the Gulf of Siam.

Drew. Henry was stunned for a long time before he asked bitterly: "The navy sent to the Annan region has almost completely fallen into the hands of the An family's army, so what about the army?" How many of our captives have fallen into the hands of the An Jiajun? Before I came, An Yi, the commander of the An family's army, said that 50,000 captives needed to be ransomed, what was the specific number? ”

The commander of the French expeditionary force, Lieutenant General Fouché, said in surprise:

"Fifty thousand? We sent reinforcements of 59,000 men alone, and all of them were taken by the intrigues of the An Jiajun without a fight. At that time, after I arrived at Hanoi Harbor with my troops, about a regiment of white officers and soldiers received us, took us to the barracks east of Saigon, and arranged a sumptuous dinner after we were settled, saying that it was to welcome us. They invited the dance troupe to perform, and the drinks were served openly, and our soldiers were so excited that they indulged in the party, only to wake up the next day to find that I had become a prisoner. From beginning to end, we have not experienced a battle, and it is impossible to have so few prisoners. ”

Drew. Henry looked at the others, and Lieutenant General Demville, the former commander of the French Cochinchina Army, frowned and said, "When I led my troops to surrender to the An Jia Army in Da Nang, the total strength was 24,000 men. We lost about 2,000 casualties in the attack on the Dong Rong Shan defensive line between Da Nang and Hue, and then we were bombed by the South China Navy and suffered another 2,000 casualties. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I had to lead my troops to surrender. ”

"Our troops were flanked by the Anjia army, and the sea passage was cut off, so we had no choice but to surrender. The total number of French troops under my command at that time was 12,000. ”

Lieutenant General Cruz, commander of the army of the French Annam colony in the Tokyo area, recalled.

"At the time of the attack on Saigon, there were almost 8,000 French troops in the surrounding area. Before and after the fall of Saigon, there was no large-scale fighting, and according to my estimates, there were at least 5,000 prisoners. ”

The commander-in-chief of the French Annam Army, Admiral Bull, said with some uncertainty.

Drew. Henry calculated in his heart and exclaimed, "My God, everyone, in this way, the other side has almost 100,000 captives in his hands. But why do they say that there were only 50,000 captives? ”

"I probably know a little bit about this!"

Colonel Carey, a former colonial intelligence officer, said: "The Chinese recruit soldiers who are skilled or willing to obey management among the captives to work, and are paid monthly wages. As a result, they now have the status of laborers, not captives. As for the 50,000 captives they mentioned, they were probably all the same as us, unwilling to serve them. ”

"So, out of 100,000 captives, there are 50,000 traitors?"

Drew. Henry stood up and shook his head repeatedly: "Scandal, this is really an unprecedentedly huge scandal...... Ladies and gentlemen, I must report these important developments to the country as soon as possible to provide the necessary reference for the Cabinet's political decision-making. That's all for today's meeting. ”

The crowd stood up, and Jule. Henry waved goodbye to the former high-ranking officials of French Annam, and then got into a limousine that cost 1,000 yuan and drove away.

......

In the south of the Humi River, as the battle continued to deepen, all the outer defense lines of Abila Town were broken through by the Anjia army, however, after entering the town, the soldiers encountered some trouble.

The Far Eastern Republic originally wanted to use the river fortifications to deal a major blow to the Japanese army, so the entire town of Abila was full of dense fortifications. After the Japanese army succeeded in the sneak attack, they immediately made the best use of everything, turning all the fortified buildings into fortresses, and those houses made of earthen walls were demolished, and the ruins were used to build pillboxes. Therefore, after the An Jiajun entered the town, the battle suddenly became brutal, and the ghost soldiers hid in the shadows and opened fire, and their accurate shooting caused the casualties of the An Jiajun to increase greatly.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the An Jiajun was fully reflected, infantry, machine gunners, snipers, and bazooka fighters cooperated with each other, first suppressing with machine guns, and then the infantry assaulted, using submachine guns and box guns to strike at close range to the Japanese army, and snipers monitored every move of the enemy within the entire combat radius of 50 meters. If the opponent's place has a strong defense, you can directly blast the turtle shell with a bazooka, and this kind of combat combination is almost a dozen and a dozen.

After all the Japanese troops on the outskirts of the town were cleared, more and more soldiers poured into the town and engaged in fierce battles with the enemy. The Anjia army, which had received special urban combat training, was invincible, the Japanese army was killed one after another, and a few devils finally couldn't bear the fear in their hearts and began to rout, and then this rout army gathered more and more, and finally became an unstoppable trend.

The only five Leopard tanks of the five tank companies took the lead and pursued them relentlessly, and the gunners turned the turrets and fired shells at the most dense places of the devils.

Medium and light tanks, armored vehicles, and anti-aircraft artillery trucks, which were closely followed by the Leopards, rushed over, tank guns and machine guns fired from behind the routed Japanese troops, and the slower Japanese soldiers fell in pieces like wheat.

Soon, the roaring chasing tanks and armored vehicles rushed through the group of devils, crushing the scattered Japanese troops under the wide and heavy tracks and wheels. After the tanks and armored vehicles passed, the tracks and wheel prints turned into two blood marks, leaving bloody corpses all over the ground.

The infantry fighters of the Anjia Army, following closely behind the chariots, pursued the remnants of the enemy as hard as they could, until they pursued three kilometers north from the town of Abila to the rough waters of the Humi River.

At this time, a strange scene happened.

In the river fortifications on the other side of the river, a dense rain of bullets was fired, killing the Japanese soldiers who retreated from the highway bridge and could not wait to jump into the river one by one, and the pursuers of the Anjia Army on this side of the river looked at each other and did not know what was happening, and the flying fox battle flag of the Anjia Army was suddenly raised on the position on the opposite bank, and a large group of cavalry rode horses, rushed to the front from the rear of the position, and beckoned to this side of the river.

Deputy division commander Qi Huishen jumped out of the tank and laughed. In the periscope of the tank just now, he had clearly seen the situation on the other side of the river and knew that it was the cavalry led by Zuo Yuan.

It turned out that the tactics adopted by the Third Division finally took effect, Zuo Yuan led his troops to sneak attack the rear of the Japanese defense line, and the Humi River defense line was finally overcome without danger.

At this time, the Japanese troops chasing after them were still 40 kilometers away from the 3rd Division, and the 3rd Division still had plenty of time to retreat.
