Chapter 1478 Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot

At 11:28 p.m. on the 30th, a huge tank cluster of 150 Wolf tanks and 50 Leopard tanks of the Guard Army directly under the two Front Army, Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian, suddenly appeared on the Ci Liem line northwest of Hanoi City, which was only four kilometers away from the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Behind a staggering number of tank units, and a steady stream of armoured fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery trucks, and trucks, the defenders of Hanoi panicked and became a mess.

At present, there is only one infantry battalion of the French army and two regiments of the Annam Army stationed in Hanoi, and through the uninterrupted collection of intelligence in the early morning, the squadron that entered the territory of Annam is at least more than 400,000, and all of them are mechanized corps.

According to the news sent by the troops along the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway before surrendering, there are more than 1,000 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 120 mm on the other side, and countless artillery pieces of other calibers, plus tanks, armored combat vehicles, and self-propelled artillery vehicles, no one has the luxury of expecting that their own small and pitiful army can make a difference in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Beginning in the morning, a Chinese fighter plane flew over the city of Hanoi and dropped countless leaflets, in Chinese, Beijing, French, and English, all in four languages, demanding that wherever the PLA went, the defenders immediately lay down their arms and surrendered, so that they could ensure the safety of their lives and property, and receive the best care according to the treatment of Annam citizens.

If nothing else, just look at the number of planes in the ** team, no one is optimistic about the French army in Annam, especially in the entire Red River Delta, the French army adds up to less than 2,000, and the Annam army is not more than 10,000, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is so obvious, if you still insist on fighting in this situation, it is undoubtedly a joke about the lives of yourself and the soldiers under your command.

Following the usual mode of thinking of Westerners, Colonel Kant, the commander of the French army in Hanoi, decisively ordered the French army and the Annam army to lay down their arms, assemble and drive out of the city, surrender to the PLA, and Hanoi, the largest city in the north of Annam, was peacefully liberated.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the more than 200,000 Hanoi citizens, who knew that the city had changed owners, mostly locked themselves in their homes and cautiously looked out through the doors, windows, or attics on the second floor.

A motorized infantry division of the Anjia Army has a motorized infantry regiment, three mechanized infantry regiments, and an artillery regiment, and the units directly under the division include special brigades, air defense battalions, reconnaissance battalions, and armored battalions, which can be said to be one of the most modern armies in this era.

The mechanized infantry of the three regiments, all of whom got out of the four-ton troop trucks and armored personnel carriers, lined up in neat queues, carrying long guns and short guns, and were in high spirits, and in groups of three, following behind tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and half-track trucks carrying artillery, entered Hanoi City from the West Gate, and marched all the way east, the destination was the former French 10,000-strong barracks between Hoan Kiem Lake and the Red River.

Seeing that the doors on both sides of the street were closed, and the people were afraid like tigers, Pei Guangrong, who was sitting in an eight-wheeled armored command vehicle, rolled his eyes, called the troops to stop, and ordered the commanders of each regiment to act according to the order through the on-board radio system. After a while, the troops continued to hit the road, and the earth-shattering song was already ringing.

"Revolutionary soldiers must keep in mind that there are three major disciplines and eight points of attention: first, all actions should be commanded and the same pace can lead to victory; second, I don't take a needle and thread from the masses, and the masses support and like me; Third, all seizures should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the people's burden. We must achieve the three major disciplines, and we must not forget the eight points of attention: first, we must speak in a harmonious manner, respect the masses, and do not play with pride; Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing; Third, if the borrower's things have been used, return them in person and do not lose them; Fourth, if the thing is damaged, the compensation will not be worse than half a cent; Fifth, it is forbidden to beat and scold people, and the warlord style is resolutely overcome; Sixth, love the crops of the masses, and pay attention to them everywhere on the march and in battle; Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and hooliganism must be eliminated; Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat prisoners, beat and scold, or search their pockets. Everyone should be conscious of observing discipline, supervise each other, and never violate it. The rules and regulations of revolutionary discipline must be clearly remembered, the people's fighters love the people everywhere, defend the mountains and rivers and always move forward, and the people of all nationalities support and welcome them. ”

The song is catchy, the tune is extremely simple, the lyrics are easy to understand, and after repeated singing, it floats melodiously into the thousands of households in Hanoi City.

When many people heard the lyrics, they were skeptical, but they still had the courage to slowly push open the door and walk onto the street, and saw the soldiers and brothers from the north with kind smiles on their faces, their military appearance, and their pace, and they immediately felt a kind of energetic and progressive spiritual outlook that was completely different from that of the French army and the Annan army.

Seeing the various vehicles in the team, plus the two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycle teams behind the palace, the citizens of Hanoi are so big, they have never seen so many vehicles gathered together, and when they see the thick barrels, as well as the light and heavy machine gun configuration in the marching team, they know that this team is powerful, this time, Annan may really change the sky.

At the same time as the 10th Motorist Division entered the city, outside the West Gate and South Gate of Hanoi, it had become a large construction site.

As early as when the plan was formulated, the Syrian Provincial Planning and Design Institute carried out a systematic plan for the future construction of Hanoi in view of the high-altitude aerial photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, because the French had built a perfect drainage system, the buildings in the old city will not be touched, and after the popularization of electric lights, telephones and natural gas, electric power and gas will be sent to thousands of households through the underground pipe network, so as to maintain the characteristics of Hanoi as an ancient capital of thousands of years, and leave a cultural wealth for future generations. Don't worry that this will give the national separatist forces a chance, just like the Imperial City of Shu Han, the Imperial City of Xi'an and the Imperial City of Jinling, all of which belong to the relics of the feudal dynasty and can only represent the past, and have nothing to do with the current era.

In the planning, Hanoi, which has a pleasant climate, mainly exists as a political, economic and cultural center, and its industry focuses on less polluting grain, oil and food, electronic appliances, instruments and meters, auto parts, agricultural machinery and accessories, textiles, silk, clothing and shoes, printing and other industries, so as to ensure that the land and air in the Red River Plain area are not polluted, maintain a relatively stable ecological environment, and create minimum conditions for a bumper agricultural harvest.

This time, two engineering divisions will go south with the troops, but they will arrive by train after repairing the Yunnan-Burma Railway, together with large construction equipment.

With the evolution of modern warfare, Hue, which is only five or six kilometers from the sea, is no longer suitable as the capital, and fighter planes taking off from aircraft carriers in the South China Sea can threaten Hue's airspace at the first opportunity, and the safety of government and military leaders cannot be guaranteed.

On the other hand, Hanoi, which is more than 90 kilometers from the coastline and has plenty of time to deal with air strikes from the sea, will temporarily replace Hue's role as the capital. At the same time, according to the plan, Hanoi will become the garrison of the Honghe Military Region of the Nanyang Chinese State, and the military region will be at the level of a large military region, with at least the organs of the military region, the logistics base, the troops directly under the military region, and the three group armies.

......

Syria, the war room of the General Staff.

Everything was arranged last night, An Yi returned to Xiyuan's house early, and the whole family had a lively dinner, and received his father-in-law's family who came to visit after hearing the news. Since the start of the Songhu War, the Feng family, the Ye family, Wu Ma's maiden family and all the generals' families have all moved to Syria and lived in a high-end residential community planned and built in advance, so they were not affected by the war.

Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao is becoming more and more satisfied with the husband chosen by his granddaughter, and now An Yi is in charge of thousands of troops and horses, and his power is overwhelming, and he already has the posture of the second person after Chiang Kai-shek, and his future is limitless. Although Feng Jieyun has repeatedly warned the family to keep a low profile and not to swagger and deceive under the sign of An Yi, China is a humane society, and Confucianism is deep-rooted.

After sending off the guests, it was already half past twelve at midnight, and after making a phone call, knowing that Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian had led their troops to capture Laokai, and the team was marching south, and at the same time, the naval officers and men had successfully gained control of the French warship and successfully occupied Haiphong Port, An Yi knew that the big thing had been accomplished, so he stopped asking questions and went upstairs to accompany the two wives.

It was night, An Yi, who was in a good mood, was mighty, Wushan ** was full of spring, and the two wives were fed, and they slept contentedly at four o'clock in the morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the energetic An Yi came to the General Staff, dispatched troops, and arranged for the follow-up units to enter Annam in an orderly manner, and received a joint telegram from Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian at noon, saying that the French generals in Hanoi led their troops to surrender and Hanoi was peacefully recovered. Although this was expected, the last stone in An Yi's heart still landed safely, and instructed Yang Fei, Huang Zhi and Mu Remember, the three deputy chiefs of general staff, who were keeping an eye on the battle situation, to act according to the plan and act cheaply, and then personally drove to pick up Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi.

The two girls who received An Yi's phone call and were overjoyed, although they were shy and timid, but for the sake of future happiness, they still followed An Yi to the West Garden. Each other is an intellectual woman, and they both have a field, so they are not afraid of being cold when they talk, and there are always loyal listeners who are envious and sought after, and everyone is very comfortable in their hearts.

After eating a warm reunion dinner, An Yi originally planned to watch a movie with everyone, but after thinking about it carefully, the navy suddenly got such a big possessions, including two of the latest battle cruisers, I am afraid that it has become the object of the great powers. If you don't take precautions, make clever arrangements, and gain and lose, it will be too late to cry, so I have to apologize, take Shen Fengdao and a group of guards, and return to the war room of the General Staff.

The first thing is to stay up to date.

According to French intelligence, at this time, French Prime Minister Daladier was still in Munich, Germany, to negotiate with Chamberlain, Mussonili, and Hitler about the final ownership of the Sudetenland region in Czechoslovakia.

On the naval side, Admiral Darlang did not know that his ocean-going fleet had an accident, and repeatedly telegraphed to Vice Admiral Kinsol to lead the fleet and leave Haiphong Port as soon as possible, and not to put the Navy's efforts under the threat of Chinese aircraft and artillery. As for the next move of the ocean-going fleet, it will depend on the situation in Annam.

After reading the intelligence summary, An Yi's heart moved: "So, the French still don't know that their navy has fallen into our hands?" ”

"That's right!"

Liu Qing nodded: "At present, our people have mastered the radio stations of the naval base and all warships under the guidance of the French naval communications corps who surrendered, and they are in vain with the French side. Since the morning, the French colonial troops north and south of Hue have been attacked by our air force quickly and resolutely, and because the enemy is not equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, they have suffered extremely heavy casualties, and have now disengaged from contact with the Hue rebels.

At the same time, the headquarters of the French Annam Colonial Army, knowing that Hanoi had fallen into the hands of our army, decisively ordered the French troops south of Vinh to immediately return to Vinh and request the ocean-going fleet to pick up the troops at the border water port outside Vinh and withdraw south. Obviously, the French also knew that with their pitiful army, they were no match for us at all. ”

An Yi paced back and forth, contemplating his eyebrows and thinking: "In the current international situation, it is obviously extremely unwise for us to go to war with France, no matter what, France can be regarded as a behemoth, although it is old and rigid, and its actions are slow, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they can still easily organize hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces." The British were in agreement with the French in terms of colonial interests, so the French could not only use their own naval fleet, but also ask the British fleet for help, and when the time came, the war would become bigger and bigger, and the situation would be seriously out of control.

"This is also the reason why I have repeatedly portrayed the war as a war of national liberation, and the reason why our army is named the People's Liberation Army is to liberate the people of Nanyang from the hands of the colonizers and bring them a new life. I estimate that the French will hesitate for a while on the question of whether to declare war or not, and if we have enough hostages in our hands during this period, the French will have to weigh the consequences of the declaration of war.

"Of course, the French will certainly send troops to crusade, and Annan is as important to its colonial system as India is to the British, and if they don't make an effort, if nothing else, the capitalists in France will also get the Daladier government to step down immediately. Now that the situation in Europe is unstable, I guess it is good, this time Germany will get what they want, and get the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, and once they annex the whole of Czechoslovakia, the goal will inevitably be Poland, and by September at the latest, a full-scale war in Europe will break out. So we had to survive these very difficult months until war broke out in Europe and we could really take control of Annan. So, we can make a fuss about the ocean-going fleet of the French and strive to get the maximum benefit. ”

Standing in front of the large map of Annam, Mu recalled, crossed the long coastline of Annam, and said thoughtfully: "What does the commander mean - to use the ocean-going fleet as a maneuver, and the officers and men of our navy disguise themselves as the French navy, blend into the border ports and Da Nang, and raid the above two French troops?" ”

An Yi shook his head slightly, and was about to explain, when Huang Zhi, who had a waxy face and deep yellow eye sockets, suddenly said: "The commander should want to make a thousand-mile raid to raid Saigon, where the current Governor's Mansion of Annam is located." Saigon was a weak defence, and the port of Saigon was also home to the colonial naval fleet, with the old 'Lone'-class dreadnought 'Paris', the 'Jaguar'-class destroyers 'Jackal', 'Panther', 'Bobcat', and more than 20 gunboats, in addition to a large number of transport ships. Due to the absolute superiority of our air force, the navy of the Annam colony was greatly afraid and did not dare to leave the port, so it could only hide under the anti-aircraft fire of the port, and this created conditions for our surprise attack. ”

An Yi said appreciatively: "Huang Zhi said it well, as long as we take the main force of its navy in one go, then the French army in Vinh City and Da Nang will be isolated and helpless. At that time, we will take advantage of the situation, and the French officers who are under siege will naturally make what they think is the most correct choice. Didn't the French commander in Hanoi teach us a vivid lesson today? ”

There was laughter in the war room.

Replaced by the squadron, especially the An Jiajun, today's Hanoi is definitely a situation of endless blood and blood, and the overly calm French have long lost the sharpness of the last European war, and think that it is a matter of course to choose to surrender when the strength is inferior to the opponent, perhaps this is the difference between the Eastern and Western cultures.
