After several years of training, Lu Yuguang has grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare, and war does not lie in the gains and losses of one city or one place, but in bringing the enemy into his own rhythm, and then giving full play to his own advantages and annihilating the opponent's vital forces, which is the only way to win.

In particular, the battle between the guerrillas and the regular army is different from the life-and-death struggle between the great powers, and it is far more important to protect oneself than to destroy the enemy, and the choice of weapons is also very important.

For example, now the tanks against the French do not need to use tanks to fight, but should use more cost-effective weapons.

Landmines can not only destroy the other side, but more importantly, they can slow down the French army's advance, and they can also create fear, these soldiers and vehicles can even fidget as long as they feel a big explosion under their feet at any moment, sending them into the sky.

War is originally a time to test people's endurance, if this fear spreads, the morale of the other side will inevitably be low, the fact is just as Lu Yuguang expected, the French army is indeed lacking mine detection training at present, after three tanks were blown up in a row, the speed of the French greatly reduced.

For two days in a row, the French army only advanced a few dozen kilometers, and the soldiers were no longer so arrogant, their opponents were not simple, and the French army had not yet fought a dozen vehicles and more than 50 sappers killed.

After suffering hardships, the French also thought of a way to deal with it, they modified the tank, installed a hinge in front, and then installed two iron chains on it, as long as the tank started, the iron chains would rotate at high speed, and the huge force smashed to the ground, just enough to detonate the mine.

In this way, a path was opened up for the follow-up troops to follow, and with this sharp weapon, the speed of the French increased a lot. However, the Vietnamese are not easy to deal with. The guerrillas, who lived mostly in the mountains, were small in stature, but very agile, walked like a fly in the dense forests and valleys, and were well trained, so they took advantage of the time when the French were delayed to start a campaign of cold guns and cold running.

Some of them are particularly accurate in their marksmanship. Dozens of French sentries were shot in the center of the eyebrows, which also annoyed the French commander, but also frightened, and being able to hit the eyebrows with the help of a faint light at night meant that the opponent must be the most elite sharpshooter.

How can these Vietnamese monkeys have such elite force! Thinking of this time, Lieutenant General Niko would unconsciously look at the outline of the huge country bordering Vietnam, with a territory of more than 14 million. Almost all of East Asia is included, and more than 400 million people live in this rich region.

How many troops can be armed with such a large population, Niko is terrified when he thinks of this, he is not competing with the Vietnamese, but with the huge shadow behind Vietnam.

Actually, Niko was not wrong at all, the army is like a machine, it needs to be maintained from time to time. You can't always put it aside and don't use it. That would rust, and China had drawn a large number of sharpshooters from the army. Special forces, let them sharpen their skills in a real combat environment, and at the same time make the French pay more blood.

This kind of raid and harassment made the French overwhelmed, and the losses were not large, but the morale of the whole army was rapidly declining, especially the composition of the French army was too mixed, and their attack on Dien Bien Phu had a total of 50,000 troops, of which 15,000 were French, and there were more than 20,000 Vietnamese troops, and more than 10,000 Afrika Korps.

An army contains white, yellow, and black races, covering the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and it would be strange if it could command smoothly, the French were a little better, and the blacks were obedient, but those Vietnamese were unwilling to kill each other, and their treatment was very poor, and now they can't rest all day long, and they are all depressed.

The more frightened they were, the more dangerous they became, and the Vietnamese guerrillas focused their attention on these Vietnamese soldiers, who in their eyes were French lackeys, the disgrace of the Vietnamese, and they would not hesitate to be traitors.

After seven days of walking, the French finally arrived at Dien Bien Phu, which is located in the northwest of Vietnam, where transportation is difficult, ethnic groups are mixed, and the people have been poor since ancient times, and it is the same place, it is the most active area of the guerrillas, and it is also regarded by the French as the heart of the guerrillas.

Therefore, the French made full preparations and mobilized their air forces to launch a large-scale bombing of Dien Bien Phu, but when their planes flew over Dien Bien Phu, they found that it was already an empty city, not only the army, but also the common people had withdrawn, and the Vietnamese handed over a small city without any living creatures to the French.

Instead of fighting hard as imagined, Nico led the French army to easily occupy Dien Bien Phu, but the French did not have any joy of victory, they are now in more and more troubles, the most serious problem is that after the battle line is extended, logistics supply has become difficult, and the Vietnamese guerrillas also take the logistics line as the first target.

In just three days, five logistical convoys had already been attacked, and their food, uniforms, and ammunition were all threatened, and the guerrillas took advantage of the cover of night to lay a large number of mines on the roads that the French army had managed to open up.

Tanks can't resist mines, not to mention these logistics vehicles, the French lost more than a dozen trucks in a few days, you must know that the French don't have many trucks, if such losses continue, they can only rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport.

Niko also knew that if they didn't take action, they would be killed by the Vietnamese, so after some thought, Niko divided his troops into three parts, he sent the Afrika Korps from Dien Bien Phu to the northwest, and sent a brigade of French soldiers to lead 15,000 Vietnamese soldiers to the northeast, and he led the rest of the army to defend Dien Bien Phu.

According to Niko's idea, the two armies were to move towards a huge pincer, and Dien Bien Phu was the fulcrum, and after the two armies were deployed, they swept towards the center and destroyed all the guerrilla areas in northern Vietnam in one fell swoop.

Soon the French began to divide their forces, and the two armies left Dien Bien Phu in a mighty way, and began to attack the guerrilla areas, before leaving, Niko had already given a death order, so that these troops should not have any care, their mission was to destroy. Destroy anything you can see!

The French colonial army was not a good thing in the first place. After obtaining Shang Fang's sword, he did all kinds of evil, destroying all the villages and towns along the way, killing all the people, looting all the property, and then burning all the evidence of their evil in a fire. Just like when they burned down the Old Summer Palace!

After getting the news of the division of troops by the French, Lu Yuguang was very excited, what he was waiting for was this opportunity, otherwise the French would have 50,000 soldiers, as well as air force cover, relying on their own strength. I'm afraid that the French can't be annihilated yet, and now that the troops are divided, then you can't be polite.

After careful consideration, the first attack was the Eastern Route Army, an army of nearly 20,000 men, both French and Vietnamese, and they were the greatest threat to the guerrilla zone. Naturally, it became the primary target.

Lu Yuguang chose the battlefield in Qiongya. It was a crossing of the Tuojiang River, and the French army had to pass through to enter the guerrilla zone. More importantly, the terrain is rugged, the mountains are dense, and the water is fast, which can offset the equipment advantage of the French to the greatest extent.

In order to be able to win this battle, Lu Yuguang mobilized 30,000 guerrillas, in fact, this scale can be regarded as a regular army, and a large number of mountain artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns were transferred from China, and the army was ready, just waiting for the French to collide!

"President, Lu Yuguang's hand is very big, if he can inflict heavy losses on these French troops in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the situation in Vietnam will become clear!"

Qiao Yu nodded, "What Brother Baili said is good, it's just that the armed forces of the Vietnamese are constantly expanding, and the national consciousness is also awakening rapidly, you must know that there are tens of millions of people in that land!" ”

Jiang Baili knows very well that supporting Ruan Aiguo and others is a double-edged sword, which can help China influence the situation in Southeast Asia in the early stage, but once they gain power, they will definitely try their best to throw China in, in fact, this reason is not difficult to understand, who can let the president not be a provincial governor.

"President, I don't think you have to worry, dealing with the affairs of Vietnam is a matter of determination, these people will not really belong to China, just let them die a little more in the war, it is not a problem to die a few million, and then after we take over, we will forcibly relocate all of them to all parts of the country, China is so big, can't it absorb millions of people?"

"Brother Baili, having said that, this kind of thing is detrimental to your reputation!"

"President, your only problem is that you cherish your feathers too much, you will inevitably be blamed for doing things, it is impossible to gain fame and fortune, or I will take care of the affairs of Vietnam, and I will bear any infamy!"

Jiang Baili just said that Qiao Yu's weakness is above, with more than a hundred years of knowledge, Qiao Yu knows too well how some people in later generations slander those great men who founded the country, it is simply to the extent of reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white, and Qiao Yu has now achieved this position, and he can't help but have some scruples in his heart, what will be the evaluation in a hundred years, but Jiang Baili's words made Qiao Yu think a lot.

"Brother Baili is right, just want to be worthy of the nation, worthy of the country, I don't care about other things!"

While he was talking, Yang Du came to Qiao Yu's office.

"President, the Portuguese have sent a message, hoping to negotiate with China on the ownership of Macao!"

Portugal, as a colonial empire that has long declined, now has some fragmentary colonies in the world, but it is just a place that the great powers can't look down on, and the Portuguese are not stupid, since the outbreak of the war in Vietnam, the Portuguese government has discussed several times, China is now inflated, and France dares to start, not to mention a small Portugal, or quickly solve the problem of Macau, but also less trouble, and win the favor of China, why not!

"Hehe, this Portuguese is weird, we can also have less trouble, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiate with Portugal as soon as possible, let them get out of here quickly, we can take proper care of agricultural products!" (To be continued.) )
