Chapter 32 National Mobilization

It should be said that this is the first time that our army has taken the initiative to attack strategically instead of taking the initiative but taking a defensive position.

In fact, I can understand that the Vietnamese army Weishenme will be in such a hurry to attack...... Don't you want the border to be a fact!

However, I still think that the Vietnamese army's attack is a bit too hasty, for the simple reason that I said before...... Most of the northern part of Vietnam is mountainous, and the roads and mountain roads in this mountainous area are difficult to walk, and when the rainy season comes, the roads will become swamps and the mountain roads will become muddy...... So this mountainous area has become a nightmare for logistical supplies.

This is one of the reasons why our troops should withdraw from the battle before the rainy season arrives.

Of course, the logistics of our army will be blocked by this mountainous area, and on the contrary, the Vietnamese army will naturally encounter the same problem when attacking, not to mention that our army also carried out blasting of roads, bridges and other facilities along the way when retreating.

Therefore, I believe that if the Vietnamese authorities were calm and rational enough, they would never choose to launch an attack at this time.

Maybe they have their reasons, such as the People's Liberation Army (PLA) not gaining a stable foothold on the border, or the PLA needs time to rectify...... And so on, but in today's rampant automatic rifles, it would be absolutely dizzying to attack on a large scale without logistical support.

Later, I learned that in fact, when our army was approaching Hanoi, the capital of the Vietnamese army, from two directions by taking Sapa in the direction of Yunnan and Lang Son in the direction of Guangxi, the Vietnamese army began a national mobilization......

What is National Mobilization?

The document issued by the Vietnamese side goes like this:

The Standing Committee of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam decided to defend the socialist motherland of Vietnam in accordance with Article 23 of the 1959 Constitution in the face of the war of aggression against our country by the Chinese expansionist hegemonists. Won a complete victory in the War of Resistance to Salvation. In accordance with the recommendations of the Government Conference. It is hereby decided that:

1. Mobilize throughout the country. All citizens of legal age are required to join all kinds of armed liliang according to the jihua of the government meeting. All necessary manpower, material and financial resources should be mobilized to ensure the needs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

2. The government meeting has concrete jihua and measures to implement this general mobilization.

Let's put it into practice...... To put it simply, men from the age of 18 to 45, and women from the age of 18 to 35 have to join the militia or undergo armed training. In addition to the eight hours of work for the staff of organs or units, two hours of military training are added, and students at the middle school level and above must study military knowledge or military training for two hours a day in addition to studying......

All right! In fact, in a way, what China wants to see is the situation in Vietnam...... Vietnam is a poor country. After decades of war, they needed the support of other countries, both economically and industrially, and it was China and the Soviet Union before, and now it is only the Soviet Union.

What are the characteristics of the country that came over during the war years?

Needless to say, China came from the war years, and of course we know that the merit of such a country is its strong military quality and combat strength, which can be seen from the self-defense and counterattack wars. The weakness is that everything is left to be built, and the economy and industry are backward.

So...... China's leaders are afraid that from the very beginning, they will make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Teach the devils a hard lesson, withdraw their troops at once, and then take a defensive position to fight a protracted war with the devils.

China is a big country and is fully capable of carrying out reform and opening up and economic development while fighting a protracted war. And Vietnam is a small country, and fighting a protracted war will only drag it to death.

So there is no doubt about it. The Vietnamese authorities had already lost the whole strategy when they decided to put the economy aside in the national mobilization and give priority to the military.

Maybe. Vietnam's national mobilization would have taken a small advantage on the border, but a tactical victory would not compensate for a strategic defeat. So from this day on, it was doomed to the defeat of the Vietnamese army.

The performance of this national mobilization in our battle is the Vietnamese army's logistical preparations for this battle.

We didn't know that we were staying on this 581 height, but the Vietnamese side was actually in full swing for a long time, and all the troops and civilians were mobilized to build bridges, roads, food, and artillery shells......

Anyway, this is the rainy season, and the rainy season means that the river is swelling and there are landslides everywhere, so it's really hard for them. Especially the people who were transporting supplies...... Because the roads and bridges have not been repaired in many places, they insist on sending food and ammunition back and forth along the mountain roads in this rainy season, like ants moving...... Of course, there is also pushing artillery, cars, and tanks in the swamp...... These can be imagined for yourself.

From this small aspect, it is also a stroke of genius for us to withdraw our troops before the rainy season, because because of our withdrawal, the logistical supply difficulties in the mountainous areas of northern Vietnam will not be our problem, but the problem of the Vietnamese army.

And while the Vietnamese military and civilians were busy in the rain...... We're just hiding in the pit and bored.

Although we know that the more devils are more bitter, we can't bear it......

First of all, the most regrettable thing is that there is no shower time once a day...... This directly led to the "rotten crotch" getting worse again, and this time it seems to be more serious...... Even Li Zuolong's physique haode guys didn't escape.

Some people may say that even if there is no sun and no bath, then there are still "drying eggs" and "blowing eggs", isn't it? How can it get worse?

The reason is mainly cloudy days...... When the cloudy day came out, I knew that what I was most afraid of in the highlands was not rain, but cloudy, and it was cloudy with a little rain.

What about weishenme?

Because there is no sunlight and no water on a cloudy day...... On rainy days, we just need to take a tarp and hold it outside, and it won't be long before there is water. But what about cloudy days? Even if you stay outside for a long time, it's only enough to drink a sip.

So at this time, even drinking water became a problem, and if you wanted to drink water, you had to get it from a ditch a few miles away at the foot of the mountain...... Because of the difficulty of the mountain road, it takes more than an hour to go back and forth.

This is an absolute nightmare for an army, so the crotch is often impossible to clean...... This problem of not cleaning soon came to the fore:

First, the crotch itched again, then it festered, and then it developed to the armpits, feet, and some city soldiers with precious skin, such as scholars, were infected and rotten all over their bodies.

Scratching the itch has become an abnormal landscape of the cat's ear piercing without giving an order and neatly moving, as long as one is scratching, the other soldiers immediately hold their crotch with their hands as if they are infected, and they are tentatively rubbing.

The testicles are the most rotten, we call it "rotten eggs", rotten to the point that they are not shaped, only a pile of rotten remains, transparent liquid, yellow water and red blood stains seep out, as long as the person does not move, it will soon stick the root of the thigh and the crotch together. It's the most itchy place, scratching and can't scratch, I can't stand it, I can only rub my hands, rub back and forth and deform, and the pain is unbearable.

Walking has also become a spectacle...... The tall soldier walked in a different posture, becoming a circle of legs, rubbing his feet, his legs in an O-shape, moving step by step, just like kicking an extremely precious treasure in the crotch that was afraid of squeezing.

Therefore, there is a saying in our tunnel: "It is good to die, and it is hard to suffer."

That's what I mean...... It is not painful to die, but those who are not afraid of death and do not want to die must always be vigilant against death, and they will also suffer in this tunnel, which is the suffering of suffering.

But there is no way, this cloudy day is more than ten days, and the more devils are still delayed...... I don't know if they weren't prepared or if they were deliberately torturing us or what they were doing.

We often even hope that the more devils will come up sooner, and sometimes even hope that the more devils on the other side will come to touch the hole again......

At this time, the correspondent Xiao Liu became the most popular figure in the tunnel, because he had to go to the rear from time to time to get a letter or something, and every time he came up, he would bring a little surprise to the soldiers.

For example, the last time it brought us a side poker...... So the poker became a hot item, and a flashlight was hung on top of the U-shaped tunnel...... Because the U-shaped tunnel is relatively deep, and there are corners, and the tunnel is stuffed with marching quilts, even if you have a flashlight inside, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Vietnamese army.

Then a bed of marching quilts was stacked in the middle, and four people were leveled and all kinds of cards began to be played around...... There are eighty points, fighting for the upper reaches and fighting the landlord...... All kinds of ways to play from all over the world followed. The bet is on the cigarettes that are used as treasures in the pit.

This is not? In the past two days, I have been lucky, and the cigarettes are stuffed with tarpaulins, and Company Commander Luo and the scholars have been lost, so they can only watch from the sidelines...... This tossed the otherwise boring night and made it easier.

It's just that the pit is very damp, and the playing cards are rotten after not long in playing, and after they are rotten, they take a plaster and stick it and then continue to play, and some cards even have four or five plasters still in use...... If this card could talk, I'm afraid it would have started protesting a long time ago.

Watching us winners happily gamble on the "table" with a lot of cigarettes made the reader a little unhappy.

But his head melon is also good...... I asked for a box of painkillers from the hygienist, carefully engraved "car, horse, cannon ......" on it, and then colored it with ink, zuihou opened the two cigarette boxes and drew a chessboard, and swung the "chess pieces" up, and the two of them were happily playing on the side.

According to the words of the reader, if there is a cold or something, we can also use the most powerful "general" and "handsome" to deal with it......

The loneliness in the tunnel has an irresistible liliang, as if there is an inextricable crisis haunting him. It makes you unbearable and powerless, and you have to endure it.

The spiritual needs and desires of man become a source of loneliness and irritability in the tunnel, and it follows your soul at any time, and this long-term torture of the soul makes you want to live and die, and the blood of the suppressed warriors is eager to rush out and tear up a kill, and die a happy impulse.

If it weren't for the constraints of battlefield discipline, it wasn't because of thinking about the motherland and family...... Probably no one wants to be like a hibernating animal, curled up in a dark, dirty, damp, narrow hole with rats, poisonous snakes, and mosquitoes. (To be continued......)
