The difficulties faced by the dragon were much greater than those of his younger brother, and the proximity of Dien Bien to Thailand made the Japanese much more heavily guarded than Myitkyina.

Secondly, it was more convenient for the Japanese army to dispatch troops than Myitkyina in the event of a fight. Most of these Japanese troops fighting in Southeast Asia were elite units of the Japanese Army, and it was difficult for the heavy artillery in the deep mountains and forests to exert much power for a while.

The overlap of various unfavorable factors caused the defeat of the Dragon Rope Ancestor's attack. And how can this kind of defeat make Long Shenzu, who graduated from the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy, the 4th class of the General Officer Class of the Army University and the National Defense University, willing to do so?!

"Uncle Bocheng, you take someone down to repair first. I'll personally rush to see if I can find the flaws in the ...... "Long Rope Ancestor is no longer the "division commander" in history who graduated from a famous school but didn't have much actual combat experience.

In this time and space, Long Shengzu followed his elder brother and younger brother to serve in the Korean Theater of Defense Forces for nearly a year. Bullets rained, the son of the king of Yunnan didn't know how much he had experienced.

"The division commander must not ......"

"It's okay! Uncle Bocheng, it's not like I didn't go to the battlefield. Long Rope Ancestor smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Those little on the battlefield in Korea are much more ruthless than here, so there is nothing they can do with me." You can rest assured! ”

Yang Hongguang still wanted to say something, but looking at Long Rope Ancestor's face, he could only sigh. He knew that the temper of this second young master was as hard as Chairman Long's, and the thing he decided was that the eight cows couldn't pull it back.

"Or ...... The troops are withdrawn, and I will accompany you to the battlefield! Yang Hongguang gritted his teeth and said to the dragon rope ancestor. And the Dragon Rope Ancestor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Uncle Bocheng, you still don't feel at ease! Forget it, then I ask you to come with me. "Dragon Rope Ancestor knows. This is Yang Hongguang's good intentions. Although this is not necessary in his opinion, since people have this heart, then don't refuse. Otherwise, it will hurt people's hearts.

In fact, the battle of the Dragon Rope Ancestor has been good so far. Garrisoned here was a brigade of the Japanese army, with a total of more than 8,000 people in two wings.

In the name of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", Japan gathered and trained many locals here as their imperial army. With the help of these Imperial Allies, they were able to build a large number of garrisons according to the terrain.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, unless the Dragon Rope Ancestor has an incomparably large number of artillery and terrifying shells like in the self-defense counterattack war in later generations, otherwise it will not be less if he wants to eat the Japanese army itself in one bite.

After many battles with the Wehrmacht, the Japanese army no longer built fortifications as before. Based on the experience of the Chinese battlefield. The Japanese General Staff began to set new standards for fortifications.

These standards played a great role in the Battle of Shanghai, and if it were not for the Wehrmacht's development of the "Gong" heavy rocket-booster bomb at the critical moment, and the fact that Shanghai itself could not dig too deep into the fortifications, the tide of the battle might have really turned into a war of attrition for the Wehrmacht as Shunroku Hata thought.

But the situation here is different. The Japanese army also built a large number of fortifications here. In the early days, because the Southwest Military Region was not prepared, it did not launch an attack on Dien Bien.

This gave the Japanese a lot of time to gradually refine their fortifications and figure out all the terrain in the vicinity. Because Dien Bien will pose a huge threat to the core of the Japanese army, including Thailand, Annam and other places, he is extremely concerned about the Japanese army here.

"Ruan Sang, you and your troops have done a good job this time! I'll send a report to the General Command. I beg credit for you. Brigade commander Yoshii Yi looked at Nguyen Phuc Vinh in front of him with satisfaction, just now on the position, this member from the royal family of the Nguyen Dynasty in Annam fought very bravely, which made Yoshii Yi very satisfied.

The one who now rules Annam is the Annam Nguyen Dynasty that originated from Nguyen Phuc Anh. The current king of the Nguyen Dynasty. is the thirteenth-generation heir Nguyen Phuc Thanh, with the year name "Bao Da".

Annam was originally a Chinese subject country occupied by France, but after the outbreak of the war, especially after the outbreak of the European war, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia did not hesitate to seize it.

But the Japanese did not simply use this blockade to fight, as they have historically done, and did not go to expelle French rule. Didn't even go to contact Baoda.

On the contrary, they quickly took action, and the ambassador Yokoyama secretly met with Baoda. He said something like "Asia is the Asia of Asians" and "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere Co-Prosperity Co-Prosperity".

Encouraged the Paula to expel the French. After all, at the end of the day. Now Vichy France was also a member of the Axis powers. It is not good to do it on the bright side, but if Vichy France can't control Annan himself, then there is a reason to do it on the day.

In fact, Baoda also has the idea of wanting to reform and forge ahead. But alas, the French who rule here do not want to see this. In 1932, the reform proposed by Baoda to its "masters" the French, ended miserably in less than half a year.

Under such circumstances, Baoda naturally has no good impression of the French. The Japanese showed their great strength, which coincided with Baoda's desire to get rid of France.

On the afternoon of the day he met with Baodai in Yokoyama, Baodai summoned the six Shangshu and the princes and nobles, and at the same time issued the Declaration of Independence, announcing the abolition of the unequal treaty signed between Annan and France in 1884 and breaking away from French protection.

At the same time, it was announced that Annan would become an independent country, join the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" headed by Japan, and decided to cooperate with the Japanese government.

Vichy France was helpless about this, and the Japanese took over the French directly and comfortably. Chen Chongjin, a relatively pro-Japanese scholar, was appointed as the first prime minister after the independence of Baoda.

"Don't dare! General Yoshii praised falsely, these are all things that Fukunaga should do. "Nguyen Phuc Vinh is very clear about his identity and status, and he can't compare to Yoshii in any way.

"Yo Si! Your losses this time are not small, so let's go down and repair them first. Yoshii was very satisfied with Nguyen Phuc Vinh's cautiousness, and Yoshii was still very useful for his respect.

"Please tell Prince Qiang, our Great Sun Empire has never lost a big friend. Just do things well for us and we will give him what he wants. ”

The Japanese made preparations in Annam, on the one hand, they supported Baoda as their spokesperson. On the other hand, they did not give up contact with the princes of the Nguyen Dynasty, among which they considered the most valuable was the Prince of Qiang Than, Nguyen Phuc Dan.

It is not for nothing that the Japanese chose Nguyen Phuc Dan. In terms of identity, Nguyen Phuc Shan is a direct descendant of Nguyen Phuc Kyh, the son of Emperor Nguyen Phuc Anh, the son of Emperor Gia Long Nguyen Phuc Anh. Qiang Zheng's father, Nguyen Phuc Anh Joo, was twice selected by the colonial government as a candidate for puppet emperor.

As early as 1906, Qiang Zheng, who had a strong sense of independence, launched the Eastward Journey Movement with Pan Peizhu. He called on people of insight in Vietnam to study in Japan and investigate the strategy of rejuvenating the country.

Even Qiang Ji himself used pseudonyms such as "Lin Deshun" and "Nan Yixiong" to hide people's eyes and enter the Tokyo Zhenwu Military School. But Qiang Zheng's identity was not hidden from the Japanese, and they had already found out.

In fact, Japan has been coveting the French-occupied region of Annam, which has rice that crops three times a year and land where rubber can be grown as a strategic material.

Subsequently, under the intentional or unintentional promotion of some people, Qiang and Inukai Yi, Matsui Ishine, and Kashiwahara Taro ...... and other powerful people in the future, all of whom have contact. Since then, it is logical that Qiang Ji has received funding and commitment from Japan.

"Thank you, General! I will convey this to the Prince! Nguyen Phuc Vinh was thrilled that this was the closest Annan had ever come to independence.

In 1884. After the signing of the Second Treaty of Hue and the official French colony of France, Annan never stopped rebelling against colonization.

Xiangxi Uprising, Ludang Uprising, Xiongling Uprising, Bating Uprising...... and so on, all of which caused huge casualties to the French colonial army at that time. But these uprisings ultimately failed. And this time, even the Nguyen Dynasty expelled the French without firing a single shot, which allowed many people to see the dawn of the victory of Annam's independence.

said. Nguyen Phuc Vinh respectfully gave a military salute to Yoshii and withdrew from the position with the people. Nguyen Phuc Than, Nguyen Phuc Vinh, this name only needs to be heard to know the relationship between them.

Nguyen Phuc Vinh was a die-hard loyalist of Nguyen Phuc Dan, and he was also a member of the royal family. In Nguyen Phuc Vinh's view, Nguyen Phuc Thanh was more suitable to be the emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty than Bao Da, at least Nguyen Phuc Thanh had done his best to free Annam from French rule. It's not as obedient as Baoda.

"General, does the empire really want to give independence to these Southeast Asian monkeys?!" Mihara, the chief of staff of the brigade on the side, hesitated and said: "Once these people become independent, they will definitely be disobedient......

"It's just a carrot hanging in front of the donkey's face. so that they may grind. Yoshii sneered and raised his binoculars to look at the position, and said, "Isn't it better to have these people to die for us, than to make the warriors of the empire risk a lot stronger?!" ”

"Hay! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! "Sanyuan is convinced, how good these people are to be cannon fodder! It's better than letting the warriors of the empire fight hard, isn't it?!

"I've never thought people have any good intentions these days. The reason why I work with them. It's because we're so weak! A few hours later, Nguyen Phuc Vinh met Nguyen Phuc Thanh in a secret stronghold.

I have to admit that Prince Qiang Nguyen Phuc Shan has a good skin. Although his skin is darker, he has a tall figure and a delicate face. Perennial upheaval. And being born into an aristocratic family gave him a temperament that was different from ordinary people.

"In my eyes, the Japanese are no different from the French. They are all bastards trying to colonize Annam! They are also the ones we must expel from! Ruan Fushan said in a deep voice: "That's it." We don't have that power right now. So, we need to be attached to them......"

Ruan Fuyong nodded and bowed his body humbly. He also knew that now was not the best time to rebel against the Japanese and rebel against Baoda. Now that the University has just announced the abrogation of the unequal treaty with the French, it is the time of the highest prestige.

And Baoda has the support of the Japanese, if it is easy to act, then Ruan Fudan and others will get defeat. Even this kind of failure will give them no chance to turn over.

"Fukunaga, what we need now is patience. Wait patiently...... "There are some things that Qiang Zheng did not say to Ruan Fuyong.

"When the time is right, we can rise! When the time comes, neither Baoda nor those Japanese people will have good fruits to eat! Qiang Zheng said, suddenly stood up excitedly and said loudly: "At that time, it is the time for our Annan to be truly independent!" ”

"I wish to follow His Highness!!" Ruan Fuyong knelt down excitedly and said loudly.

At this time, in front of the Japanese army's position, Long Shenzu and others were wearing a piece of auspicious clothing and slowly touched the Japanese position in front. Although the Southwest Military Region has been reorganized, it is not possible to train qualified scouts overnight.

Yang Hongguang followed Long Shenzu like this, watching the second young master carefully observe the position of the Japanese army. It's been a while. A few warriors who had lurked out with the Dragon Rope Ancestor slowly left the grass under the gesture of the Dragon Rope Ancestor.

Returning to his own position, the Dragon Rope Ancestor hurriedly entered the front of the formation, and the headquarters began to write and draw on the map with a frown. In a few moments, he sketched a map of the firepower of the Japanese position.

"This ...... Commander, how do you know how those gangs are arranged?! Yang Hongguang was shocked, just now he was also looking at the structure of the Japanese army's position, but without training and the Korean battlefield, he would not have been able to make such a complete map as Long Rope Ancestor.

"Uncle Bocheng, these are all things I bought with my life on the battlefield in Korea." The Dragon Rope Ancestor opened his mouth and smiled, very proud.

"These guys are honest, and things are good. But that's all there is to the back and forth. As long as we have observed, we can still figure it out. ”

said. Dragon Rope Ancestor frowned and said, "It's not easy to get it...... After these gangs suffered losses, their defenses were obviously much tighter. Uncle Bocheng, you see here, here, and here, there must be bunker groups. ”

"321 and 435 are high up in each other's horns. The highland firepower is very well matched. And I also saw it just now, they should have made a lot of anti-artillery holes and had a pit connection......"

Long Rope Ancestor kept looking at the map and explained to Yang Hongguang. After explaining bit by bit, Yang Hongguang suddenly realized why he lost so badly, and why his second young master asked to come to the position to have a look.

"Division commander, the Japanese are so well arranged, so how can we fight?!" Yang Hongguang looked at the dense firepower points on the map, and couldn't help but have a headache.

In fact, the Dragon Rope Ancestor also had a headache. Just because you know how to fight doesn't mean you know how to fight. This way of defense of the Japanese. That's a turtle shell defense.

The combination of high and low firepower, the connection of tunnels between each other, even if it is desperately highlighting a point, the result is blocked by the cross-fire of the Japanese army.

Those who rush up are tantamount to death. Moreover, after the Japanese knew that the Wehrmacht had tanks, they paid special attention to the setting of elevation angles in the construction of fortifications. Shanghai, that can't be helped. But there are not many other mountains in this Annam.

There is a huge problem for the tank to rush up, and that is the angle of elevation. And during the charge, it is easy to expose the most vulnerable part of yourself - the chassis.

The Japanese had suffered the loss of tanks in Shanghai, and Long Shenzu was absolutely confident that they would be able to modify the fortifications for this purpose, and they would definitely increase anti-tank equipment for this purpose.

"This kind of position. There are only three ways to fight. One is to fill it without counting human lives, at least at least three times more casualties than these gangsters. It is possible to take it down. ”

The corners of Yang Hongguang's eyes twitched when he listened, good guy! At present, the strength of the entire division does not know whether there are more than three times the number of Japanese troops, and even if there is, it will certainly not reach more than three times the strength.

"The second way is to grind the water. There is no hurry to attack, but to rush to find out the positions of some Japanese firepower points, hidden bunkers, and crossfire, and then let the artillery clear them at fixed points and gnaw them down little by little. Long Rope Ancestor threw his pen on the map and sighed, "This casualty is smaller, but it takes a lot of time." ”

"What about the third way?!" Yang Hongguang asked anxiously, but the Dragon Rope Ancestor smiled bitterly when he heard this. After a while, he said: "The third way is to just ignore it and use a cannonball." If it can't be smashed, it will be exploded with explosives. ”

Yang Hongguang was directly stupid when he heard it, what kind of combat method is this?! But as Long Rope Ancestor spoke, there was a nostalgic look in his eyes.

"When we were in North Korea, that's how we beat the. Some of the strongholds were no worse than here, and we relied on constant bombing to bring them down. Airplanes and artillery bombs, and even soldiers carried explosive packets to blow up piece by piece. ...... that was blown down"

"Goo~" Yang Hongguang swallowed his saliva, he had gone to the National Defense University for further study. I also went to the martyrs' cemetery to listen to those battle stories, but this is completely different from hearing such stories from people I know well.

"In this way, the soldiers can sacrifice less. But I guess that if we fight like this, our logistics will not be able to support it. Long Rope Ancestor's words made Yang Hongguang nod. At that time in North Korea, it was almost the entire population of the occupied areas connected to the logistics of the National Defense Forces to do supplies.

After reading the war report, Yang Hongguang knew that even if it was so, it was only barely enough to supply the consumption of the Wehrmacht. If the Southwest Military Region fights like this, then the logistics will definitely run out.

The mountains and jungles have largely limited logistical capabilities. Even if the entire division is consumed now, the logistics are almost unable to supply.

If you fight in the same way as North Korea, you will have to run out of shells in five days at most. The root cannot be sustained.

"Uncle Bocheng, let's take another look!" Long Rope Ancestor looked at the marked Japanese firepower points on the map, gritted his teeth and said: "During this time, we focus on consumption and temptation. Don't attack lightly, stay fighting. I'll figure out how to ...... the rest."
