To rush back to Saigon before Ngo Dinh Diem returns from France to take office, he cannot stay in Mong Cai for a long time.

As soon as he reached a consensus with the head of the Nong District, Li Weimin, escorted by Chen Runwei and other Nong officers and a platoon of soldiers, rushed to Haiphong by land.

There are several reasons for this arrangement, one is that he told Ngo Dinh Yao that the purpose of this trip is to do the work of an official of the United States Agency for International Development and the Economic and Technical Mission, and to help his third brother win the support of the Americans. If you don't meet with the Americans, it's not good to be known to him in the future.

The second is to follow the planned evacuation route to see where supply points need to be set up and which bridges and roads are vulnerable to destruction by the Viet Minh guerrillas. In a place where anything bad happens, it's hard not to think it through.

The second is to use the last bit of time to mobilize overseas Chinese in Haiphong to evacuate, there are not many hipsters doing business in the north, and the five gangs that should be notified have already been notified, and those who can leave will leave early. I couldn't find anyone to help, so I had to do it myself.

The sphere of influence of Nong District is mainly on the Sino-Vietnamese border from Mong Cai to Lang Son (Dongxing to Friendship Pass), and it is either Nong people or ** rout soldiers and refugees who have fled, the same language, and the external pressure is so great, it can be described as an iron plate, and it is difficult for the Vietminh who do not speak Hakka or Chinese to penetrate.

The river juniper is not far from the Nong area, and it is still safe.

The further south they went, the more frequent the Viet Minh guerrillas became, and the Franco-Vietnamese troops stationed on the front lines of Dong Kham and An Le could only control a few strongholds along the highway, and the countryside on both sides of the highway was almost entirely the liberated areas of the Viet Minh.

Chief Huang and Chief Zhang explained very clearly, it was a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of villagers, and everyone died in battle, and Mr. Li could not have any accidents.

As soon as he entered the border with Gandhi, Chen Runwei was highly nervous, and asked Chen Platoon Commander to arrange for a few brothers to explore the road in front, while he and Han Staff Officer of the Intelligence Department sat on either side of Li Weimin with submachine guns, one on the left and one on the right, ready to block bullets for him at any time.

In the jeep in front, a private of the second class was engrossed in holding a machine gun. On the truck behind, more than 20 brothers were on high alert, and all the plants and trees were soldiers, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Having never seen the Viet Minh guerrillas, Li Weimin was not afraid at all, but looked forward to it, wondering how powerful they were. With a pistol pinned to his waist, a carbine in his hand, and a few grenades at his feet, he was excited to make a big move.

Where had Lin Jiasheng seen this meeting, and said nervously: "Young master, why don't you ...... Or give me a gun, too. ”

"Do you know how to shoot?"

"Yes, Brother Cai taught me on the ship when I came."

"Okay, here's for you." Li Weimin pulled out a pistol and stuffed it into his hand, and then held the carbine to observe the movement on the side of the road.

In the end, it is the rich young master, I don't know how terrible the war is, just when Chen Runwei secretly sighed, a crisp gunshot sounded in front.

Afraid of something, without waiting for him to speak, Platoon Commander Chen immediately ordered: "Enemy attack, get out of the car and prepare for battle!" ”

At this time, the gunfire in front was more intensive.

Chen Runwei and Staff Officer Han quickly pulled Li Weimin off the jeep, looked at it, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Mr. Li, follow me, don't show your head." ”

"Bang ......!"

With the muffled sound of two grenade explosions, several brothers who were opening the way in front appeared in the sight of Platoon Commander Chen, and they fought back while covering each other and retreating alternately, too far away to see the enemy clearly, and could only vaguely see a few black figures.

"Machine gun cover, mortar preparation!"

"Yes!"

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......

The heavy machine guns on the jeep in front of them and the two light machine guns that had just been erected on the side of the road suddenly erupted three tongues of fire, and several bursts of fire came in a row.

Immediately after that, the mortar also went off.

Two 60 mm mortars poured shells into the grass where the enemy was located, blowing up patches of turf all over the air.

At the same time, several brothers from the first class rushed forward to pick up their own people who had withdrawn, and one of them was shot in the abdomen and dragged to the side of the car with blood on the ground.

I also joked with him when I ate at Hejuni, and now I may not even be able to save my life, Li Weimin was furious, got up and pulled the trigger a few times in a row.

Staff Officer Han hurriedly pulled him down, grabbed him and said, "Those bastards are not in range, they can't hit them, don't waste bullets!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the brothers who had withdrawn reported breathlessly: "Platoon commander, there are not many of them, the firepower is not fierce, and it is not like an ambush. ”

Protecting the guests is the first priority, Platoon Commander Chen did not dare to attack easily, and while observing the surrounding terrain, he asked, "How much is it?" ”

"More than 20 of them, more than a dozen guns, a few people pushing bicycles, threw down the cars and opened fire when they saw us."

If they don't annihilate the enemy in front of them, they will inevitably attract more enemies. Besides, a brother was seriously injured, and I don't know if his life can be saved, and the reason why Nong District has been able to hold on to this day is completely a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Chen Runwei and Staff Officer Han glanced at each other, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Platoon Commander Chen, the first squad protects Mr. Li, the second and third squads are outflanked, and the others follow me!" ”

"Yes!"

The guard platoon was the elite of the nong district, and more than thirty fighters, under the cover of machine gun and artillery fire, quickly disappeared into the grass on both sides of the road. Chen Runwei took the lead, leading more than a dozen brothers to rush forward along the canal on the right. Li Weimin's blood was boiling, and he just wanted to follow but was stopped by Staff Officer Han, so he could only hide by the car and be anxious.

The shells could not be smashed on their own heads, the shelling stopped, and the gunfire became more and more intense, like fried soybeans, and from time to time there were one or two explosions.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the gunfire gradually subsided, and a light wind blew, carrying the smell of gunsmoke.

When Li Weimin and Lin Jiasheng arrived under the protection of Staff Officer Han and others, Chen Runwei was interrogating a thin and black prisoner, who had been shot in the leg, blood gushing from the wound, and roaring in pain, scolding Chen Runwei as a lackey of the French emperor and a reactionary Tangshankee.

The trial couldn't find anything, Chen Runwei snorted coldly, and shot him in the head. Lin Jiasheng gasped, and hurriedly turned his back and didn't dare to look again.

"Mr. Li, they ran away a few, we can't stay here for a long time, let's set off immediately."

"Are there many casualties?"

Chen Runwei lit a cigarette, looked at his brother who was carrying it to the truck, and said expressionlessly: "Two of them were killed, but they suffered greater losses." ”

The battlefield was in shambles, with at least twenty people killed, including a few young women and a few half-grown children. It wasn't until this moment that Li Weimin really realized the cruelty of war,

Bicycles and trophies were thrown onto trucks, a small gasoline generator, a movie projector, a neatly folded white cloth screen, wires, and some iron boxes of motion picture film.

Judging from the seized documents, this is a film projection team affiliated with the Information and Communications Department of the Viet Minh Central Committee, which intends to go to the nearby liberated areas to screen two silent films, "The Great Victory of Muhua" and "The Battle of Gao Bei Lang", as well as the sound documentary "The First Competition Model Heroes Conference".

The guerrillas escorting them obviously had little combat experience, and when they saw the troops wearing French uniforms, they panicked, and they did not know how to hide but fired first. But it must be admitted that they were very brave, and they were able to hold out for so long despite such a disparity in strength, and even caused one death and three injuries to the guard platoon.

Li Weimin looked at the fallen soldiers, comforted his wounded brother, returned to the jeep and whispered: "Jia Sheng, immediately send a report to the family, and ask them to contact Professor Sanderson immediately, saying that I was attacked by the Viet Minh guerrillas in Dong Khan, and that some brothers were injured and urgently needed medical support; In addition, I want to make a documentary for Hong Kong, and ask Manager Liu to help me hire the best film directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, lighting artists and makeup artists in Hong Kong. ”
