Chapter 271: A life-and-death duel on a rainy night
The clock was 10 o'clock in the evening, and the lights were bright in the French headquarters. Francis. Garnier, along with two French officers and three Vietnamese, stood in front of a detailed map, pointing.
The clock went to 10:10, and Francis. Garnier closed his mouth and stared at the three Vietnamese in the tent, "Three gentlemen, do you remember what I said?" Regardless of casualties, charge, charge—"
In Francis. Under Garnier's gaze, although the faces and expressions of the three Vietnamese fluctuated, all of them did not hesitate to agree. They are already traitors to the Vietnamese, but they don't want to be traitors to the French anymore, to be the Zhu Bajie who looks in the mirror.
"Trust me. After tonight's battle, you will be the true trusted people of the Saigon Governor's Office. He is a cherished Vietnamese friend of France. ”
The death of more than 2,000 Vietnamese blue ribbon soldiers was exchanged for a chance to win.
Three Vietnamese respectfully to Francis. Garnier saluted and retreated, then Francis. Garnier's gaze looked at the two remaining French officers in the tent. One of them was a lieutenant colonel and the other was a major.
"Today is a bad day and I will take responsibility for it to Paris. But we can't give up on the belief in winning. Now we still have a chance to win, whether we can win or not depends on the assault tonight-"
"Your Excellency, victory belongs to France—" the two mid-ranking French officers said the same sentence solemnly.
"Yes. Victory belongs to France, to our valiant warriors! "Francis. Garnier's lips were trembling, and his heart was trembling. For that opportunity, he pressed his all. This was the entire remaining land power of France in the Vietnamese region. "Now, then, gentlemen...... Let's go. God is with us! ”
On the side of the Sino-Vietnamese coalition forces corresponding to this, the focus is on Liu Xianam. Wu Zhongping, Liu Zhuo, and Zhou Jun are all in Liu Xian's military tent at the moment, and the sound of the rain outside can still be heard clearly, but the slightest bit of water vapor also penetrates not only into the military tent. This is a set of special military tents, which are not only heavy, but also have a layer of vulcanized rubber on the outside.
"The military gate said that the French want to fight at night?" Wu Zhongping didn't believe in Liu Xian, in today's battle, he simply admired Liu Xian's five-body throw. The little 500 French themselves walked into the prisoner of war camp, plus more than 100 dead French troops, and what price did the Qin army pay for such a brilliant result? Compared with the results and losses of his bloody battle in Hue, Wu Zhongping's inner pride was completely crushed. Besides, he fought in Hue in a bloody battle, and he himself was clear about how much the people of the Qin military department contributed.
The map depicts the situation on both sides, with the black dots representing the French army sandwiched between two red patches. On the other side is the river represented by the dotted line, and on the other side is a road leading directly to Hue.
"Fayi's current form, what does Wu Shuai think? In addition to choosing to fight at night, Garnier used the blue ribbon soldiers to pave a way for the French soldiers to enter our army, does the commander think that Fayi has any other chance to win? "The heavy rain outside is very good, but except for Liu Xian, even the coalition forces themselves are naturally affected by it.
The darkness and rain curtain completely cut off people's sight. I believe that the distance outside is ten meters, and it is impenetrable to the naked eye. If Liu Xian didn't have a virtual map, even if he could guess that the French army was going to fight at night, he wouldn't have been able to make the right adjustments. There's going to be a big fight on both sides tonight! But God did not bless his people, but the Jade Emperor and Sanqing Daozun blessed the Chinese. Liu Xian has a virtual map in hand, and he can trap the French.
Cao Huailiang took the Rocket Team out of the camp, followed by the Sharp Knife Team, as well as Liu Xian and his garrison team. The horses tied to the horse's mouth, and the soldiers tightened their mouths. In the dark night, under the pouring rain, they walked very slowly and not easily. Less than a mile out of the camp, even Liu Xian's body was covered in mud. But no one made a sound.
After about half an hour of this march, Liu Xian ordered everyone to stop, and the rocket team began to set up their precious rockets.
At this moment, in the French camp, 2,000 reluctant blue ribbon soldiers are slowly opening the camp gate. Let his head be dumbfounded, and at this time he went out of the camp to attack the enemy, and the blue ribbon soldiers also knew that they were sacrificed as cannon fodder. Who in the world wants to die? Especially these blue ribbon soldiers, their own slippery and inferior roots are much stronger, and they are even more unwilling.
Seeing the large red dots pouring out of the French camp on the virtual map, Liu Xian sneered. The Qin troops, who moved to the French camp no more than three miles away, continued to wait quietly.
The noise under the heavy rain is a running horse, and I am afraid that I can't detect it if I am 100 meters away. But this absolutely can't cover up the voices and movements of the more than 2,000 shrinking blue ribbon soldiers.
The formation of the blue ribbon soldiers was very scattered, and the nearest distance from the ambush of the Qin army was less than three hundred meters. The Qin army heard their movements clearly. What's more, during this period, there were five blue ribbon soldiers who took the opportunity to escape, and they ran into the fierce knife team, and their necks were broken by one of them.
About half an hour after the Blue Belt troops left the camp, gunfire was heard from the coalition garrison. Then, Liu Xian saw the French soldiers of the brigade rushing out of the camp, lined up in three phalanxes of about the same number, twenty horizontal columns, rifles with good bayonets, there was no noise, only the sound of neat footsteps stepping on muddy water, setting off from the camp at a uniform speed, and the French artillery unit was also preparing for the cannon!
In the absence of machine guns, in the absence of searchlights, flares, it is simply impossible to deal with such a neat line charge, especially in the darkness of the night and the rain.
But this is unexpectedly wonderful for Qin Jun and Liu Xian.
"Team Rocket forward, quietly!"
The rocket team moved forward 200 meters further, and a wave of 20 bombarded down, and the garrison team rode horses to attack, and the battle was decided. Not even the Xiangfa Division, which cut off the retreat of the French army, was not used.
Cao Huailiang swallowed and foamed. This will enter Vietnam, and I really should show my face as Team Rocket. First Hanoi, then Hue, in the future, in the team, those who look at the turtle son dare to say that they gnaw their old books, relying on seniority! Lao Tzu, this is a real feat, a merit.
Liu Xian no longer pretended to ask the Sharp Knife Team to reconnoiter forward and report back before ordering the launch of rockets. He just tilted his ears sideways, stiffened for a moment, and pointed his fingers straight ahead. Cao Huailiang didn't slow down at all, and immediately pulled the fuse of the rocket in front of him. The other team members were not satisfied at all, and in an instant, twenty rockets were fired in a fan-shape. Cao Huailiang and the others immediately retreated, and there were twenty other rockets waiting for them ten meters behind the previous launch site...... R1152
