551 The French army was defeated

Although Xie Huaishan and others carried guns on their backs, and the Vietnamese guards did not have guns, these French people did not care about this, they naturally thought that someone had equipped these Vietnamese guards with guns, as for Xie Huaishan's guns and the guns of the French were completely different, it was too dark, and the French did not see it at all.

Xie Huaishan looked at the two sentries on the two towers and the six sentries below him, and ordered: "The first detachment, attack the tower on my left, the second detachment, attack the tower on my right, and the third team follow me and get rid of the sentries on the ground." ”

After Xie Huaishan finished speaking, he led everyone over, and the French sentry saw the Vietnamese guards coming, and was a little suspicious, so the six sentries came over.

Xie Huaishan knows some French, as for why Xie Huaishan understands French, but also from Lin Fei's policy, in the Nanyang World War, Lin Fei faced Britain, France, and Japan at the same time, and the translator was soon insufficient, after the war, Lin Fei launched a campaign of "learning foreign languages to kill the enemy" in the army, the soldiers had to learn foreign languages, everyone chose one from English, French and Japanese, as for German and Russian, there was a shortage of teachers, and there was no study, Xie Huaishan chose French, This is also an important reason why Lin Fei asked Xie Huaishan to carry out this mission.

Xie Huaishan said hello in French, the French sentry saw that the people who came understood French, and immediately thought that they were their own people, and also smiled and spoke to them in French, Xie Huaishan's French is only a beginner, far from being proficient, so he didn't understand what the French sentry said, but this just adds to the authenticity, those Vietnamese guards, only a little bit of French.

Xie Huaishan said with a smile: "We are here to change the guard, please go back and rest." ”

The captain of the sentry frowned, "How come I didn't receive such an order. ”

Xie Huaishan smiled, "The order may be halfway there." While the two were talking, a soldier went around behind the sentry captain, pulled out a dagger suddenly, covered the sentry captain's mouth with his left hand, and stabbed the sentry captain in the back of the heart with his right hand, and blood splattered out of the dagger blood groove in an instant.

The captain of the sentry twisted a few times like a snake and fell to the ground and died, and the other warriors made moves, and the six sentries were killed on the spot in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the fighters of the 1st and 2nd detachments climbed up the tower, and they pretended to greet the French sentries on the tower, and waited until they let down their guard and stabbed them to death.

Xie Huaishan immediately ordered: "One detachment, go forward to meet the large army, and the others, use the French defensive bunkers to cover the large army." "There are two towers here, and there are two ring forts, which are a ring made of sandbags, and both the tower and the ring fort are equipped with a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun, 14 mm caliber, and the lethality of bullets is amazing.

A detachment set off at once, it took them five minutes to bring the large force over, and the outside of the French barracks was a flat meadow, and there was no way to hide people, so the 8th Regiment could only lie in ambush at a distance.

As soon as the detachment left, Xie Huaishan pressed the countdown switch in his heart, five minutes, these five minutes are the most critical, and they are also the most dangerous, if the French army notices something strange within these five minutes, then not only will Xie Huaishan's seventy-five people be killed, but Lin Fei's entire plan will also fail.

A minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed, Xie Huaishan's heart was let go little by little, and suddenly, a group of French soldiers came in the distance, looking at the number of people, there were about four hundred, and Xie Huaishan's cold sweat came down instantly......

Xie Huaishan hurriedly shouted at the French officer who led him: "Which part are you from?" ”

The sky was dark and the distance was not close, and the French officer did not see whether the person who spoke was French, and he didn't think much about it, and replied: "The general is worried that Lin Fei will send people to infiltrate the barracks and destroy the airship killer, so let's strengthen the defense." ”

"Oh, it's okay here, it's normal." Xie Huaishan relaxed the officer's vigilance with his words, raised his hand to look at his watch, and at the last minute, no matter what, he had to block these French soldiers.

Xie Huaishan picked up his rifle, aimed at the French officer, and then whispered: "My gunfire is an order, as soon as I shoot, you will shoot me." ”

"Understood!" "Understood!"

The French officer on the opposite side didn't realize that the killing machine was ahead, and he was still walking, complaining about his superiors while walking, and letting them come out to perform the task so late, Xie Huaishan saw that the fire was almost over, and gently pulled the trigger, "bang" A gunshot rang out, and the French officer was shot in the chest.

This kind of bullet warhead is made of lead, which is relatively soft, and after being shot into the human body, it will explode and shatter all the internal organs.

The French officer was hit in the chest by a bullet, and the bullet immediately exploded in his body, shattering his heart and lungs, and he fell to the ground and died instantly.

Before the other French soldiers could understand what was going on, the four Hatch Chase machine guns spat out tongues of fire, and the French soldiers fell down in an instant, and the others hurriedly dodged, but there was not much to hide in the barracks, only tents could take shelter temporarily, so the French soldiers hid behind the tents.

The French soldiers sleeping in the tent were killed, and the bullets pierced the tent and sent them to the west in their sleep.

After a brief panic, the French soldiers realized that there were not many people who fired their guns, and they were finished with outflanking from both flanks, and the French troops immediately divided their forces into two flanks and outflanked the attack.

But at this moment, a large number of figures suddenly rushed from outside the barracks, I don't know how many there were in the night, these figures killed the side of the barracks in the blink of an eye, some rushed to the barracks from the barracks gate, and some used grenades to blow up the fence and kill the barracks from the gap.

These people are the main force of the 8th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division!

Stimulated by the name of the escape regiment, the operation of the eighth regiment was extremely brave, especially the newly replenished soldiers of the eighth regiment, which were even more fierce, Lin Fei stipulated that once the combat unit was attritional, it must be replenished from the garrison force, and these newly replenished soldiers did not participate in the escape battle at all, and without the slightest responsibility, they were put on the hat of the "escape regiment".

The Eighth Regiment was like a group of tigers, slaughtering into the barracks, for a while the gunfire was loud, the French soldiers who had just come over did not know what was going on, and retreated in a hurry, and the Eighth Regiment immediately slaughtered in the barracks, and the French soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the tents were almost just dressed and got up, and were pierced by bullets.

The Eighth Regiment went straight to the core command area of the French army, and in the core command area, Berbato, who was awakened by the sound of intensive gunfire, was confused, "How did the Chinese army get in?" ”

"I don't know, General, what are we going to do now?"

"The defense of our military camp is extremely tight, if there is a Chinese army coming in, it must be a small force, no more than a hundred people, immediately mobilize troops and destroy them!" At this time, Berbato had no idea that Lin Fei had hidden people among the airship killers, these people had opened his tight defensive line, and there was already a regiment and a large army of 1,000 people killed in the barracks.

Ruan Fu Baojiao was also awakened, she opened her eyes, and her first thought was that Lin Fei must have used conspiracy again, this time maybe he will be caught again, it is better to retreat to Hoi An City quickly.

Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao immediately retreated to Hoi An City under the protection of the guards, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was worried that those prisoners of war would be rescued by Lin Fei, so she took the prisoners of war with them, and the number of prisoners of war had reached a hundred after the more soldiers in the car.

Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao hurriedly fled back to Hoi An City, at the same time, Lin Fei ordered the troops, launched a counteroffensive on the whole front, the first to attack the French was the artillery regiment directly under Zhao Menggang's group army, thirty HP-2 75mm howitzers poured fire on the French position, the fire reflected the night sky red, and the shock wave shook the earth.

After the fire strike, it was the infantry charge, and more than 20,000 elite people of the first and second divisions rushed to the French positions like a tide, and the French army, at this time, only 10,000 people (after the airship was completely destroyed, the French army mobilized 5,000 troops in Saigon), these 10,000 people, almost all the main force of the French army in Vietnam.

In the main battle, the French soldiers were at a loss, because they all heard the dense gunfire of the rear barracks, and they all thought that the barracks had been broken by the Huaxia army, and their will to fight was sharply reduced, and they retreated on the battlefield one after another.

On the other hand, on the side of the Huaxia Army, everyone knew that the French military camp had been breached, and this battle was won steadily, so everyone was brave and everyone was vying for the lead.

After three hours of fighting, the French army had already lost all three of its own lines of defense, and the French troops in the barracks had blocked the attack of the Eighth Regiment, but the main forces of the two divisions of the Huaxia Army had already been killed outside the barracks.

At this time, Berbato had lost control of most of the troops, he had no choice but to order to retreat back to Hoi An City, Berbato was retreating with his troops, a cavalry behind him chased up, covering up for a while, the French army suffered heavy losses, Belbato did not dare to return to Hoi An City, so he could only retreat south and return directly to Saigon.

In Hoi An City, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was anxious about the battle situation on the front line, and kept asking people to inquire about the battle situation, and finally there was a horse to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the French army has been defeated, and now it has been scattered, and General Berbato doesn't know where to go." ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she sat on the chair with her buttocks, in Hoi An City, there were only five hundred French logistics troops, how could these troops resist Lin Fei's tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao hurriedly ordered: "All retreat and withdraw to Saigon!" ”

But before the order was sent out, there was a report from the Malay: "Report to Her Majesty the Empress, Hoi An City has been surrounded by the Huaxia army!" ”
