Chapter Twenty-Nine: Entering Vietnam
November 2nd. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lang Son, Vietnam. The French colonial government led by Angbos went out of the city to the east gate to greet Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun walked in the first array of the Cadet Expeditionary Force with the Special Warfare Reinforcement Brigade led by Guo Kui, and when a hummingbird appeared in the field of vision of Angbos and others, many people exclaimed: "What kind of plane is that?" ”
Ten minutes later, the helicopter brigade of the Special Operations Reinforcement Brigade appeared in the field of vision of Angbos and others, and the helicopter formation slowly advanced, and soon, a two-wheeled motorcycle carrying two French soldiers stopped in front of Angpos, and a second lieutenant reported to Angbos: "General, Brid Brigade Commander asked me to report to you that the forward unit of the Cadet Expeditionary Force is only two kilometers away from here, and he is accompanying General Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. ”
Brad was Ivan's subordinate, and Evan called out to the ensign, pointed to the helicopters, and asked, "What's the name of that plane?" Do you know the truth? ”
"General! The Chinese call it a helicopter, a specialized infantry support aircraft. ”
"Helicopters?"
"Yes, this kind of plane can take off and land vertically."
After Ombos succeeded to the governorship, the voice of the French colonial government and the military was greatly enhanced, and now 70 percent of the military personnel who accompanied Angbos to meet the student expeditionary force were soldiers. Soldiers have an innate enthusiasm for weapons and equipment, and the topic caused by "helicopters" has been extended by everyone, and everyone has talked about it, and the expectations for the cadet army are getting higher and higher.
This kind of scene was something that Angpos was happy to see, and he said to Evan and the commander of the 3rd Army Division, Saqimon: "The Cadet Army has been able to repeatedly create miracles on the Chinese battlefield and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, relying on advanced equipment. When I was in Chongqing, I wanted to go to Guangzhou to meet with General Ouyang, and in addition to discussing cooperation, I wanted to see if I could buy a batch of equipment. When you have private contact with the generals of the Cadet Army, you can inquire a little more clearly, and see what equipment is urgently needed by our army, and I will find an opportunity to ask General Ouyang, and if possible, I will purchase a batch. ”
Evan and Saqimon nodded in understanding, and Saqimon said: "It's amazing, I remember that a hundred years ago, the Chinese even had to import arquebuses from Europe, but I didn't expect that now such a scale of modern military industry has developed." I'm getting more and more curious about the Cadet Army. ”
It's not just Saqimon who is curious about the Cadet Army.
When the convoy of the Cadet Corps appeared in the field of vision of the French, who were closely behind the French troops about a company, looking at the armored vehicles painted in camouflage and the extremely light off-road vehicles, the French's eyes widened, and many insiders exclaimed: "Oh my God! This is a mechanized army! ”
Greeting Ouyang Yun at the border was Colonel Bryde, the commander of the 4th Brigade under Evan. Brad originally looked down on the Chinese army, thinking that it would be a joke to let the army of such a country where most of its country was still occupied by the Japanese help him resist the Japanese. Before seeing the true face of the cadet army, he was quite arrogant, and when talking with his subordinates, he quipped: "The Chinese don't march on donkeys, do they?" ”
An hour and a half after he said this, the helicopter brigade of the Cadet Expeditionary Force appeared in the field of vision of the French, and then, a long line of armored vehicles and off-road vehicles. When the helicopter flew over them, the border guards formed by the Vietnamese ran into the woods like frightened quails, and the French felt their scalps tingle, and many of them instinctively lay on the ground and raised their guns.
What about Brad? He had already seen the Chinese flag logo on the fuselage, and he stood there stupidly for a long time before he let out an exclamation: "Oh my God! Is this really Chinese? ”
Brian was flushed and excited as he jumped out of an SUV and strode towards Ampos. Having been carried by an off-road vehicle for dozens of kilometers, he has already realized that this extremely flexible car is simply equipped for jungle warfare. "Wow!" Putting his feet together in front of Angpos and standing in a straight salute, he reported loudly: "Your Excellency, the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Army, Brad, reports to you that he has successfully received the Cadet Expeditionary Force without dishonoring his duties. ”
Ambos returned the salute and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please introduce us to the guests who have arrived from the far east!" ”
"Yes!"
The French army of Hou Yingxue's expeditionary force, except for Brad, the others rode on the most common military cards in Europe. The soldiers jumped off their cards and set up guard of honor on both sides of the road under Brad's command. Led by Brad, Ombos and the others walked by, and then saw a convoy of off-road vehicles and armored vehicles lined up in a long line.
Eighteen helicopters hovered at an altitude of several tens of meters above the ground, and the trees below were blown to the roar of their engines. Ouyang Yun and Guo Kui, Wang Changlong, commander of the Unity Brigade, Pan Meiren and other personnel of the expeditionary force headquarters got off the bus one after another, and everyone surrounded Ouyang Yun and walked towards Angbos and the others, one by one, their waists were straight, and their military boots were neatly stepped on the ground, making a "squeak, squeak" sound.
A few minutes later, Ouyang Yun and Angbos stood face to face, Brad first introduced the two, Ouyang Yun and Angbos stood up and saluted at the same time, and then shook hands. Angbos said in half-baked Chinese: "Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, I am so grateful, the arrival of your army makes me feel like a reassuring pill!" ”
Ouyang Yun smiled, introduced Guo Kui and others to him, and when he introduced Lu Zhibai, the commander of the Wolf Head Regiment, he specifically mentioned: This is one of the most brave and combative generals under me, and he once led dozens of his subordinates deep into the enemy formation to capture the Japanese army commander alive.
Angbos was shocked when he heard this, and after shaking hands with Lu Zhibai, he took out his own matching gun and handed it over with both hands and said: "There is an old Chinese saying, called a famous sword to give a hero, now is the era of hot weapons, I will give a pistol, and ask Commander Lu not to refuse." ”
Lu Zhibai looked at Ouyang Yun, Ouyang Yun nodded, he accepted it, and said, "Lord Governor, thank you for your gift, I will definitely make the best use of it." ”
The welcome ceremony was not very grand, but the French showed twelve points of enthusiasm. The strength of the Cadet Corps is there, and the French may have innate pride, but in the face of the fierce momentum of the officers and men of the Special Warfare Reinforcement Brigade, and the sophisticated equipment that shines with cold light from the inside out, the more insiders dare not despise them. If the French had doubts about this military alliance, now no one dares to question Ampos's decision.
