With the successful blockade of the Vietnamese coastline by the navy, the French army has become the turtle in the urn, but the French should not be underestimated, they have a total of about 200,000 in the three countries of Indochina, and more than 150,000 servant troops, in addition to a large number of patrols and other paramilitary forces.

Moreover, at this time, the French army also occupied a large amount of territory in North Vietnam, and if you want to solve these armies, it is not enough to rely on the navy alone, but also to use the army to fight, and Defense Minister Wu Tong is in charge of Guangxi, and the main plan is this matter, this time China has mobilized a total of 30 divisions, with a total number of more than 450,000 people, and has also recruited a large number of militia auxiliary forces.

Most of the terrain entering northern Vietnam from Guangxi is mountainous, with high mountains and dense forests, coupled with abnormal humidity and heat, which is very different from the domestic combat environment, so it is necessary to make full preparations.

The improvement of national strength and the development of industry have enabled soldiers to obtain relatively adequate equipment, and only with strong support can soldiers better exert their combat effectiveness.

The commander-in-chief of the theater who entered Vietnam this time fell to Phan Van Hua, the deputy commander-in-chief was Wang Mingzhang, and the former enemy commander-in-chief was Lu Yuguang, and China concentrated 300 tanks, 5,000 artillery pieces, and more than 400 combat aircraft this time.

Such a large-scale concentration of troops is rare on the ground in the Far East, and the degree of equipment of the Chinese army is much stronger than when it fought with Japan in Korea, and the main reason why it can concentrate strong troops is because of the huge increase in national strength, which has already concentrated more than two-thirds of the country's armored forces in Korea.

At this time, it was only the troops in Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and other places, less than a quarter of the whole country, but the equipment was more advanced, the combat effectiveness was stronger, and the cooperation between the services was also greatly improved.

In particular, after the whole army completed the reorganization plan, its deployment has become more scientific, its combat effectiveness has risen sharply, and each division has an extremely strong independent combat capability. and can be combined together. Take advantage of the big corps.

Of course, a strong army requires more powerful logistics, and China has built a large number of warehouses in Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan and other places to hoard supplies, and the current war is countless times more complicated than in the past, and it is even more necessary to be well prepared.

Before entering the war, Wu Tong finally inspected the main warehouse, and Pan Wenhua and others also accompanied him. When inspecting the warehouse, Pan Wenhua casually picked up a piece of something the size of a matchbox, weighed it in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Minister Wu, just such a small thing can reflect the progress of our logistics, which used to fight in the tropics. Many soldiers will ulcerate at the root of their legs, which will seriously affect their combat effectiveness, and since these years with this little thing, the pain of soldiers has been reduced a lot! ”

Wu Tong took it casually, only to see that it was a small oiled paper bag, and after opening it, there was a small piece of wet wipes inside, with a certain amount of alcohol added. It can not only cleanse the skin and kill bacteria. In addition, there is a special fragrance that can repel mosquitoes.

Don't look at things that aren't big. In the past, when the national strength was not strong, it was absolutely impossible to take into account, and the progress of the Chinese army in recent years was often reflected in these small things, and the entire army was like a machine, and China could only match the main parts needed to make the machine work.

Now it can be made more detailed, so that the machine runs faster and more efficiently, and every detail is like a lubricant, so that the Chinese army has a more powerful combat effectiveness.

Wu Tong was very satisfied with the results of the inspection, and immediately consulted the Beijing side, and officially issued the order to march into Vietnam, and the soldiers who had been recuperating on the Sino-Vietnamese border quickly took action, and the North Vietnamese side had long been looking forward to the Chinese army to enter the war, otherwise how could they resist the wolf-like French with their soldiers who were completely discouraged.

In addition to the land operation, China also sent troops to march by sea on a large scale, with a total of 50,000 soldiers departing from the port of Qinzhou and landing directly at the port of Haiphong on landing ships.

The port of Haiphong was the most important port in northern Vietnam, once the base camp of the French Far East Fleet, and later China leased the port from North Vietnam and expanded the entire port area, making it an important port for the South China Sea Fleet, where a brigade of Chinese soldiers was stationed.

After the Chinese army landed at Haiphong Port, it quickly became an important sea base, and most of the materials transported from China were concentrated here, and the troops who entered Vietnam from the Guangxi border also crossed the mountainous area.

The army is the best propaganda tool, the formal entry of the Chinese army into the war means that China has taken over the Vietnamese regime, the place where the Chinese soldiers shed blood and sacrificed, is the area where the Chinese power has reached, how can these soldiers die in vain, many Vietnamese high-level people have a clear understanding of their own fate, don't do unnecessary dreams, or honestly wait for the Celestial Empire to reward a future.

In the past 2,000 years, because the Central Plains has seen a lot of Vietnam's land, they can survive and steal peace, and now China is focusing its attention here, announcing that Vietnam will become a part of China after all, compared to France, most Vietnamese people are still willing to accept Chinese rule, the most important thing is that China has developed rapidly in recent years, and now it can still get benefits by sticking it, if it is late, you will get nothing.

Just when the Chinese army entered Vietnam, Qiao Yu in Beijing received a letter from Tokyo, the letter was written by the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, in the letter Hirohito talked about the friendly past between the two countries, and then vigorously criticized Britain and France and other colonial powers, and finally Hirohito put forward a suggestion, China and Japan together to attack the South Seas, China attacked the three Indochina, Japan on the island of Java and Malaya.

The two countries jointly led the people of Asia to overthrow the colonial power, and in the end, Qiao Yu could even imagine Hirohito's teeth and claws, and the emperor must be shouting that Japan should establish a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, where all countries coexist and prosper......

Qiao Yu scoffed at this kind of proposal, before the complete settlement of the past grievances, China and Japan have always been enemies, and there is no possibility of alliance at all, after Jiang Baili saw this letter, he was also dismissive, Japan did take it for granted, China can do something to Nanyang, it does not mean that China also allows Japan to do something to Nanyang.

"President, such a request must be categorically rejected. A warning should also be issued to Hirohito. Prevent him from fishing in troubled waters! ”

At this time, Jiang Baili was even more worried that Japan would come to cut first and then play, that is, to take advantage of China's troops, and also launch an attack, and at that time China would become Japan's de facto ally, and there was no way to justify it, just like Ruan Aiguo's death, everyone thought that France could not get out of it. This is also a truth.

The West will see China and Japan as one, and the expansion will be jointly planned by the two countries, and once this idea is born, it will accelerate the division and combination of the international community, which is definitely not what China wants to see.

"Brother Baili said very much, and I immediately wrote back to warn Hirohito. Cut off trade with Japan when necessary, there is no need for China to get involved with Japan! ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Yu had another headache, "Was it a mistake to let Japan occupy Borneo back then?" Now that Japan has built two more aircraft carriers, the Soryu and the Flying Dragon, the Combined Fleet has been restored again, and I heard that there are still two more Zuizuru and Shozuru under construction, which will be launched soon. I've left a formidable opponent! ”

Japan has indeed spared no effort in the development of its navy. They poured most of the wealth they received from Borneo into the navy, especially with a pathological obsession with the pursuit of aircraft carriers. Qiao Yu is also constantly doubting his original decision.

"President, don't blame yourself, the situation at the beginning is very different from now, we are not strong enough, it is a good move to let Japan share part of the pressure, this move is also playing a role now, without Japan in the middle, can China and the United States have so close contacts!"

Jiang Baili said one of China's plans at the beginning, the Pacific Ocean is very large, but it cannot accommodate two big countries with lofty ambitions, and if Japan's forces are completely wiped out, China and the United States will face each other, and the conflict of interests between the two countries will become more and more serious, especially sensitive military technology, and China should not easily get it from the United States.

Now that there is a Japan between China and the United States, it means that the two countries have a common imaginary enemy, and the United States is still willing to give some support to China in many cases, which is also the political condition for China to be able to copy a large number of American technologies in the Great Depression.

Now it seems that China's original decision was still correct, but it did not completely pinch Japan, which made Qiao Yu always feel a little unhappy.

"President, as long as we remain vigilant enough, the Japanese will not be able to turn the sky, but the vigilance against Japan must also be strengthened, and the East China Sea Fleet must also be strengthened!"

Qiao Yu immediately replied to Hirohito, asking Japan not to disrupt the balance in the South Seas, and at the same time, China also vaguely informed the United States of the situation, indicating that China had absolutely no intention of forming an alliance with Japan.

The Chinese and French armies first met in Thanh Hoa, and the French built a tight defensive line in order to defend this place, in a vain attempt to defend it.

And this is China's first battle, and it is also determined to win, Lu Yuguang personally commanded, China concentrated 130 shore-based aircraft, and at the same time, the Zhenyuan aircraft carrier battle group also participated in it, and the naval aviation is more skilled than the army, and the combat effectiveness is also stronger.

Under the fierce blows of China's air power, French planes were constantly shot down, the autumn wind swept away the leaves, air supremacy soon changed hands, Western armies are pursuing advanced equipment, and once the equipment is at a disadvantage, they do not know how to fight, and there are not many examples in Western history of defeating the strong with the weak.

At this point, there is a huge gap between the East and the West, after losing air supremacy, the French army will only shrink in the fortifications, not daring to move easily, the Chinese army is to give full play to the strong mobility of the armored force, and did not take the approach of fierce attack on the French army, but bypassed the front of the French strict defense, cutting off the rear road of the French army.

This is also one of the strategies formulated by Pan Wenhua this time, the terrain of Vietnam is long and narrow, and the French army is not only the same, but China will take advantage of this situation to divide and cut the stretching French army, turn it into a string of sugar gourds, and then eat them one by one, after successfully encircling Thanh Hoa, the Chinese forward did not rush to encircle and annihilate, but continued to advance.

Jingjia, Qiongliu, Bian Shui......

One by one, strategic points fell into the defense of China, and the French military finally felt a real threat, and the Saigon side gave the order to retreat desperately. (To be continued.) )
