142, Thunder 5
Suddenly more than a dozen warplanes swooped down at high speed from the clouds in the sky.
The French lieutenant colonel's face changed greatly, he didn't hear the sound of the motor, but he immediately understood that it must have been the sound of the siren just now that the sound of the motor was masked, and the other party flew high enough. He watched as the other party dived and threw bombs, and the bombshells instantly blew up several old forts on the dock into ruins, the old fortress cannons were shattered, and the officers and soldiers guarding the fortress disappeared directly, completely shattered.
He understood that the Chinese J-2 fighter could only carry one bombshell, and the other side sent a fleet to come, and also sent the air force to destroy the fortress batteries, which was obviously determined to win. Immediately after that, he saw more than a dozen large planes coming out of the clouds, and he knew that it was called an H-1 Thunderbird bomber, and immediately shouted: "Lie down, if you don't want to die, lie down for me!" ”
However, the French army here is not the French army of the world war, this is the French army of the Far East Colonial Corps, which has not fought for many years, and when they saw that even the strong fortress batteries were destroyed, all the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they were scurrying around frantically to find a safe place. But the bombing did not wait for them, the bombers flew by, countless bombs rained down, and in an instant the entire pier was shrouded in fire and smoke, and the shock wave of the explosion rolled up the rubble like flying sand and rocks.
The lieutenant colonel lay on the ground deadly, using the breathing rhythm he had learned from withstanding the blows of the German artillery in the world war to avoid being injured in his internal organs. Half a bang, the explosion passed, he struggled to shake the dust off his head and got up, his ears could not hear any sound for a while, but what he saw was the wailing everywhere and the "click" of the severed arm, and a leg fell in front of his eyes. He saw several of the remaining soldiers running frantically towards the back.
The lieutenant colonel was furious. At the same time, his heart was also sad, he couldn't believe his eyes, is this the French Army, the world's largest army power? When I trained, I still looked good, but in this battle, I became a piece of garbage. He could judge that the Chinese bombers dropped bombs of about 50 kilograms, which were similar to the German 150-millimeter howitzers, which were not at all the same level as the 500-kilogram bombshells that destroyed the fortress batteries, otherwise there would have been no living people at the docks. At the same time, it also shows that the Chinese do not want to completely destroy this port of docks.
The lieutenant colonel took out his pistol and fired machine guns continuously, directly killing the deserters. For a while, many French troops who wanted to escape were suppressed. The soldier was shocked. Hurriedly said, "Sir, what are you doing here?" ”
The French lieutenant colonel gritted his teeth and said: "Enforce battlefield discipline, deserters should die." ”
The soldier smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't you look at the situation either?" Do you think we can hold it? The opposing fleet came up and was covered by naval artillery fire. We all have to die. He said as he leaned closer to his ear. You look at the muzzles of those soldiers. ”
The French lieutenant colonel was shocked. Looking at it, he saw that many soldiers secretly pointed their guns at him, and cold sweat almost poured out. Despite the incomparable anger in his heart. But he absolutely did not want to die at the muzzle of his own people's guns, so he immediately pretended to be calm and shouted: "Brothers, we are the army of the great French and the army known as the first in the world, and we will never allow the existence of deserters, which is the shame of our France." ”
The wounded were wailing, and the soldiers were silently confronted, revealing indifference and murderous intent.
The French lieutenant colonel immediately continued: "However, you have seen the current situation, the overwhelming bombardment of enemy planes, the heavy artillery fire of more than a dozen warships, we have no heavy weapons, we really can't resist, we have fulfilled our duty as soldiers." Now, I order, the troops immediately withdraw to the Da Nang fortress and concentrate their forces to help defend the Da Nang important area, is there anyone who opposes it? As far as he could see, he was relieved to see that the soldier had indeed lowered the muzzle of his gun.
"Sir, wise!" After a brief cold moment, the remaining soldiers let out loud cheers.
The French lieutenant colonel only felt bitter at the corners of his mouth at this moment, such an army, even if he wanted to, it was impossible to hold it. Just as he was lamenting, the fighters in the sky had begun to dive down, and the airborne machine guns were strafing the French troops on the ground, and many people were shot and killed on the spot, and he immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" Evacuate !! ”
The lieutenant colonel of the French army understands very well that with the Western concept of military education, he will not die pedantic in battle if he knows that he cannot hold it and will be sent to death, and the Western military has never had such a spirit of sacrifice. Of course, he would not have known that more than ten years later, in World War II, during the Japanese invasion of China, only one wing of soldiers rushed into French Annan, and the entire 100,000 French Annam colonial corps and some local troops did not dare to resist, and the entire French Annan was controlled by the Japanese through their hands. If he knew what the future would hold, he would never feel guilty about it.
When the Chinese naval fleet arrived, the landing and development pier of the Marines behind it was empty except for the corpses, and they were almost dumbfounded.
Lin Jianzhang, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, said to Chief of Staff Ding Peng: "What's the matter? Will there be a conspiracy? Could it be that the French planted a lot of explosives at the docks? ”
Ding Peng's heart was also empty, and he said hesitantly: "Not really, right?" The 50-kilogram bombs used by the bombers should have detonated if there were explosives? ”
Lin Jianzhang gritted his teeth and said: "No, we must not let the Marines take risks, let people withdraw first, and we will use the flagship's 254 mm main gun to shoot a few shots." ”
"Okay then." Ding Peng also ran out of ideas, but he thought that a few large-caliber shells were nothing compared to the safety of the Marine Corps. If the other side really planted a large amount of explosives and let the Marine Division of the South China Sea Fleet die before they could make a quick move, then it would be called a wrongful and humiliating person.
As a result, naturally, there is no doubt that a few shells passed, and nothing happened empty. The officers and men of the South China Sea Fleet were dumbfounded.
"What should I do?" Lin Jianzhang and Ding Peng looked at each other, and the other party was scared away? They didn't even think about it. Why is the French army also the world's No. 1 land power, just run away, where to put your face? If it were them, it would be better to die.
Lin Jianzhang gritted his teeth and said: "The commander-in-chief and Commander Li have given a death order, we must seize the port of Hue and respond to the landing force to seize Da Nang." It's about whether or not we can salvage and repair warships from the warships of the combined fleets of the great powers that we have sunk, even if it's a trap! ”
"Come on! If there is an accident, we will bear the responsibility together. "Ding Peng naturally knows that the stakes are very important, and the military order is like a mountain.
"Hahahaha" Wu Di's extremely lewd dry laughter came from the command hall of the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense, and the sound was exactly the same as the dry laughter in the movies of the star masters of later generations.
Li Bufan, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, Li Huashan and Li Hengshan looked at each other at the telegram, and they were really dumbfounded. The information about the Hue landing battle came, which really made them lose their eyes, and they never thought that it would end like this.
France is known as the world's largest army power, this large-scale naval landing war is a world problem, and the Turkish landing battle planned by Churchill during World War I forcibly buried hundreds of thousands of British troops, which are all lessons from the past. If Li Bufan had not seen the strength of the Chinese Air Force and had completely gained air supremacy for the time being, he would not have thought about the so-called landing operation. And even so, if it weren't for Li Haijun, Li Air Force, Li Huashan and other clone military experts, plus Wu Enemy's assurance, he would not have agreed to this plan.
But who would have thought that the troops had not yet arrived, and the French had already run away? It's like a punch that hits the air, and it's uncomfortable and ridiculous.
Wu Di said proudly: "Boss, did you see it?" I told you a long time ago. The foreign devil is just bluffing, but in fact, he is even more vulnerable. It's called fleeing when you hear the wind, no, some of them were also killed by the bombing, so you can count it as fleeing from the wind. ”
Of course Li Bufan knew what Wu Di was referring to? Isn't it just about the future history of World War II? According to Wu Di, in the future history of World War II, the so-called British, French, and American armies in Southeast Asia will be nothing more than tofu scum, obviously with better equipment than the Japanese, but they were beaten by little Japan in the blink of an eye. In Wu's words, even if the current police in China are transferred, they are fully capable of winning all. He didn't believe it before, but now he really has to believe it.
Wu did not have the slightest good impression of the British, French, and American powers, and when it came to World War II, because China was poorly equipped, it was repelled by small Japan, which was normal. It is said that the elite troops of the Nationalist Government at that time had not fought hard for a few months with the Songhu Battle of Little Japan, and it was still under the condition that the sea, land and air equipment were at a disadvantage in an all-round way. I don't know how many years I have been laughed at by the great powers like this, but these foreign devils don't want to think about their performance in Southeast Asia, if the United States were not ten times stronger than Little Japan's industry and ten times stronger firepower, it is estimated that Little Japan would have been beaten to the north long ago. However, China stubbornly used backward equipment to support half of the country, dragged down the millions of small Japan's troops, and consumed a large number of Japan's elite veterans in successive wars. If it weren't for the old United States, Britain, France and other powers selling supplies to little Japan, little Japan would have fallen down long ago, maybe the battle of Wuhan would not have been won, what a thing.
Wu Di said proudly: "Now everyone knows what kind of foreign devil is, right?" Paper tiger. There is a false appearance, but in fact, it is vulnerable. ”
Duan Qirui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a rare smile: "Haha, no matter what, this is indeed great news." "I have to say that the performance of the French army finally gave him confidence in the victory of the war, even when the Beiyang Army was rotten, it was not rotten to this extent. And the current Wehrmacht is many times more powerful than the original Beiyang Army, and its equipment has also improved by I don't know how many times.
Xu Shuzheng was stunned, and kept saying there: "Impossible, impossible." He never imagined that the French army, which could fight the Germans in a world war, could be so rotten. He knows the strength of the German army, he studied in Germany.
At this moment, Li Bufan seemed to be in high spirits, drew a circle on the sand table, and said categorically: "Very good, we are going to decide Southeast Asia!" (To be continued......)
