Somewhere in Laos. On the banks of the Mekong River.

"Look at those Chinese monkeys, how many miles do you think they're going to retreat back today?" Benoit slung his gun to the ground, looked at the tent on the other side of the river, and whistled to his companions.

"Who knows? They have retreated for hundreds of kilometers for half a month, "Boris shrugged. He and Benoit were both colonial soldiers under the French Indochina authorities, and when they heard that the Chinese army was "encroaching" on Laos along the Mekong River, they were sent to stop the "enemy". Originally, they and their companions were beaten to death and did not want to come. Because the enemy has two divisions, and it is said that there are 10,000 or 20,000 men. That's a terrifying number. The soldiers of the entire French Indochina authorities added up to a fraction of what they were. But for the glory of France, they had to intervene. Because the Laotians have no interest in it, let alone the ability to stop these Chinese. So, a company of two hundred men set out.

Two hundred against twenty thousand...... As a company commander, Boris originally made up his mind to only negotiate and never exchange fire. And if the Chinese are angry, he will surrender at the first opportunity. Anyway, the whole of France has surrendered, and no one cares if they don't surrender with just one company.

To their surprise, the Chinese had already "beaten" him, which could be said to be a triumphant song all the way, but after seeing them and receiving their "pass", they really stopped the "attack" and began to retreat. At first, a few kilometers a day, after seeing them "forced" over, then they continued to retreat and retreat, from more than ten miles a day to dozens of miles a day...... Now, one of their companies, has "driven" two divisions of the "invaders" for hundreds of kilometers. He believes. If it weren't for the fear of provoking those Chinese soldiers too much, they deliberately slowed down, and I am afraid that they would have driven this group of Chinese through Vientiane long ago.

"From these Chinese monkeys, I learned about the strength of the Japanese monkeys, but the authorities actually agreed to hand over French Indochina to them...... God, what the hell is going on in France? Benoit picked up his rifle and aimed at the barracks on the opposite bank: "Boris, believe it or not, if we attack now, they will definitely flee in disarray!" ”

"Do you think I'm as mentally retarded as you?" Boris rolled his eyes. A company of 200 men to attack an army of more than 20,000 men? If it's these natives of Vietnam or Laos, he can consider it. Chinese...... He didn't have such a big heart: "But if the enemy on the other side is only five or six times the current one, I think I can try." ”

"You're too timid. They've been backing up all the time. They are afraid of us. Benoit said.

"I can tell from their clothes just by their clothes that their combat effectiveness is low. But they are a hundred times more than us. And as they kept retreating, they kept converging the soldiers who had been guarding the various occupied areas, and their numbers increased. Boris said: "So." They weren't afraid of us at all. What they are afraid of, in fact, is only France! ”

"You're mistaken. They weren't really afraid of France. ”

Boris's words just fell. An abrupt voice suddenly sounded behind him. The voice was in French, but it was very stiff.

"Don't be afraid, you're right...... My God! ”

Benoit was angry at this, and turned around to teach this fellow who did not give France face, but as soon as he raised his gun, he was frightened by the sight before him...... I don't know when. There were already hundreds of people standing behind them, and these hundreds were pointing their guns at them.

"I surrender!"

Boris was even more crisp, took out the gun and threw it on the ground, and then raised his hands directly.

"Happy. I now finally understand what 'France' means. Zheng Jiemin grinned and patted the shoulder of the translator next to him: "Classmate Zhang, tell them that they have been captured now." They were captured by the New 1st Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China! ”

"No need, Chief Zheng?" Dressed in Lao national costumes and with a tanned face, classmate Zhang couldn't cry or laugh, "It's just a company, our dignified new 1st Army, plus two divisions of the Dian Army, almost 50,000 or 60,000 people...... Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? ”

"Then forget it." Hearing this, Zheng Jiemin was also a little embarrassed. However, looking at Boris and Benoit's earthy faces, he couldn't help but be happy...... Since the founding of the Republic of China, he is the first general to capture "Western devils", right? Although it is more and less fighting, it feels really good.

……

Cleaning up the French colonial army company was just a small episode on the march. The two divisions of the Dian army were the troops that Qin Wei persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to send from Yunnan after hearing that France had surrendered to Germany. Along the Lancang River, all the way down the Mekong River, the march was so rapid that the Siamese were so frightened that they put their poor army on the border. However, the Dian army ignored the Siamese and simply followed the Mekong southward, and soon after crossed Vientiane and entered Taqu, an important town in central Laos. Along the way, the Chinese army encountered almost no resistance, until Boris appeared with his two hundred French soldiers trembling.

After that, it's simpler.

Qin Wei gave the order to the two divisions to retreat on their own initiative, and by the way, to clean up the communication system and all possible enemies along the way. This order made Boris and others "proud", but it also cleared all obstacles for the southward movement of the New 1st Army. In the 21st century, Laos has not undergone much modernization, let alone sixty or seventy years ago. There are almost everywhere primitive areas, Sun Liren with tens of thousands of troops, riding a big boat and a small boat bamboo raft all the way south, just so swaggering, stunned that no one has been discovered. And even if it is discovered, there is nothing, Qin Wei has set up a "military welfare fund" before, and has invested everywhere in the Indochina Peninsula, including Laos. In order to invest, I have sent many people to Laos before, such as Zhang, who can speak French...... These people are openly exploring the mineral resources of various places, but secretly they have long cooperated with the people of the military command to thoroughly understand all aspects of Laos. People or places that may leak the news will be prioritized by Zheng Jiemin, the pioneer. As a result, tens of thousands of people of the new 1st Army passed Vientiane so easily.

"It's time to get to the Lady Pass, and everyone should understand the importance of this battle. I won't say much about the rest, the new 1st Army is up and down, only to move forward bravely! ”

Just when Zheng Jiemin was bullying more and less and cleaning up the French company with a calculating and unprepared, in Vientiane City, Sun Liren looked at Guo Rugui, Qi Xueqi and others who were standing straight in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, the ministry will definitely move forward bravely and kill the enemy to serve the country!"

"What do you mean, Sir Sun?" Standing next to Guo Rugui was Pan Shuorui, the commander of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army, who couldn't help jumping out after hearing Sun Liren's words, "What do you mean by the 'New 1st Army'?" Isn't there anything to do with our Dian army in this battle? ”

"That's right," along with Pan Shuorui was Lu Junquan, the commander of the provisional 18th Division, and he couldn't help but glance at Sun Liren when he heard this, "Although the order above is to let you, Chief Sun, be our commander-in-chief, but in this battle, I think it is better for our provisional 18th Division to attack first." ”

"Senior Commander Lu, what do you mean? Look down on our new 1st Army? Qi Xueqi is annoyed, what do you mean by using you for the "first attack"? Zheng Jiemin wanted to go crazy if he wanted to fight, otherwise he wouldn't have done the work of a company commander with the dignity of a teacher. Before leaving, Zheng Jiemin instructed him to take advantage of his more familiar relationship with Sun Liren to take down the task of the first attack no matter what, otherwise he would come back and settle accounts. But now it's good, before Guo Rugui, who he was most guarded against, didn't speak, Lu Junquan came to grab the business first.

"Where do we dare to look down on the New 1st Army? But in any case, the New 1st Army is new to Laos after all, and it is impossible to be more familiar with the environment than our provisional 18th Division going back and forth here a few times. Therefore, in order to avoid too many losses, it is better for us to fight this first battle. Lu Junquan said coldly.

"Fart. Our 184th Division entered Laos earlier than you, and this battle should be fought by us. Pan Shuorui also shouted.

"You ......"

"Alright." Sun Liren glanced at a few people expressionlessly, "I did say the wrong thing just now, I shouldn't have just mentioned the 'New 1st Army', I apologize to Division Commander Lu and Division Commander Pan." However, our first battle is just to defeat the delicate girl...... Stationmaster Liu, have you found out how many enemies there are in this delicate pass? ”

"Not much." At the end of the crowd, Liu Yisheng, the head of the military command Laos station, stepped forward, "Since the Japanese army entered French Indochina, it has not interfered with the administration of these places by the French, especially because the Fifth Army has been occupying the North Vietnamese area before, and most of their attention is focused on the south of the Red River. Although Jiaonu Pass is an important mountain pass in the Truong Son mountain range on the border between Laos and Vietnam, because the two troops of Commander Pan and Division Commander Lu did not show any desire to attack these places, especially after encountering the French army, they took the initiative to retreat, so that many people, including the French, thought that we did not want to directly clash with it...... Therefore, the Japanese only assigned two squads to guard the Imperial Lady Pass, and these two squads also became a small squad after the Fifth Army withdrew to Guangxi not long ago. ”

"Good." Sun Liren nodded at Liu Yisheng, and glared at several division commanders and deputy division commanders one by one: "The devils of a squad are themselves, can you fight so much?" You just look down on yourself like that? ”

“……”

Qi Xueqi, Pan Shuorui, and Lu Junquan all shrank back. They all represent a division, and they almost quarreled with the devils who robbed a team, which is really embarrassing. Now is not the time when a few devils can chase tens of thousands of national troops.

"Since the three brothers don't look down on those little devils, Junzao, let me go for this battle." Seeing that the three of them retreated embarrassedly, Guo Rugui stood up with a sly smile. Of course, the devils of the three stupid hats and a squad have nothing to eat, but whoever crosses the mountain pass first will be the first to rush into Vietnam...... There's a lot of military feats there. (To be continued......)
