Chapter 241: Troops Advance to North Vietnam (2)
Ouyang Sari didn't plan to go over well at all, and he didn't come to discuss. With a cold face, he said, "Let your commander come, or I'll capture here." ”
When the interpreter said these few words, the executive officer was stunned for a moment, why is this Snow Fox Corps so tough, aren't they the Chinese army? He was just a small squad leader, so he had to go back and report. Ouyang Sari didn't care about this: "Order, the first squad is on the left, the second squad is on the right, and the third squad is in the middle, and the French barracks will be surrounded on three sides." ”
After the reorganization this time, there were two brigades of the Snow Fox Corps, and there were only two squadrons of each infantry brigade, each squadron was as high as 500 people, and the squadron directly under it was also more than 500 people.
Each of the four squads had more than 100 people, the fourth squad was sent out to make a roundabout, and there were three squads, which surrounded the French barracks on three sides.
It was a barracks built halfway up the mountain, and it was a permanent garrison, but there were no strong fortifications. After the French gained control of Vietnam, they moved the Vietnamese emperor to Hue in Trung Ki and established the Viceroyalty in the north. Because the north is China, after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam was lost, and the civil war of the Republic of China continued, how could there be energy to care about Vietnam's affairs. Now that he has been invaded by Japan, he has no energy, so Cadole is not worried at all that China will dare to go to war with him. Most of the Vietnamese are concentrated in the south, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and there are a large number of Chinese, and the border is symbolically garrisoned with some troops. If there is an invasion, do you expect this one battalion to stop you? Therefore, there are no strong fortifications at Lang Son Pass.
When the French battalion commander received the report, his first reaction was that the Snow Fox Corps wanted to be tough, but he didn't dare to start the battle easily, and suddenly he didn't dare to decide on the matter, so he had to ask Hanoi for instructions, and before he could ask for instructions, gunshots came from outside.
Benjeites ordered to block, but the French army that responded in a hurry could not be the opponent of Snow Fox at all, and the defense line was broken through in just a few dozen minutes, and Benjeites had to order a retreat. But before he could retreat far, he was blocked by a roundabout fourth squad, surrounded on all sides.
I am afraid that this is because the Eastern and Western combat concepts are different from the Western thinking, and Benjeites saw that he was surrounded, and he actually ordered surrender. All the French troops only suffered less than a hundred casualties, and there were more than 300 people left, so they didn't fight and surrendered en masse, which made Ouyang Sari stunned, so easy?
Worried about fraud, he ordered all these people to be tied up, and Snow Fox took over the Lang Son Pass, leaving the fourth squad to guard the mountain pass, and contacted Zhang Dongwu, the commander of the fifth company on the opposite side, to ensure the passage and maintain the safety of the road.
Xue Ru looked at Benjetes in front of him and said, "What do you want?" ”
Of course, Benjeetes didn't know who Xue Ru was, and he didn't know this military uniform, so he said suspiciously: "You are not the Chinese army?" ”
Xue Ru shook his head: "No, we are the Snow Fox Corps." "I heard that it is not the Chinese army, Mujets is a little strange, it is not the Chinese army that comes from China, what kind of army is it? I had no choice but to say: "According to the war treaty, we are prisoners of war and have rights, please treat us correctly." ”
Xue Ru nodded: "As long as you can abide by the rules and honestly don't resist, I will give you the treatment of a prisoner of war, if you want to make trouble and escape, then don't blame me for being polite, you can ask who the snow fox is." ”
Benjetes didn't know where he was going, but when he heard that he was being given normal treatment, he nodded and sighed in agreement. Having dealt with many bandits and bandits in northern Vietnam, these Asians did not pay attention to the rules at all, nor did they have any military spirit, and they beat and scolded the prisoners of war and worked wantonly*, and they were a little worried when they heard that this group of people was not a Chinese government army, and now they were assured that they would put a little heart down and explain to their subordinates to do their best to cooperate and not to resist.
Sure enough, from here all the way to Heyang, the snow fox was really good to these French soldiers along the way, as long as they didn't resist and obey, they didn't embarrass them, and they were also given food and drink. This made Benjetes wonder, what kind of army was this, they were very disciplined and did not commit crimes, and they were not bandits at all.
Benjeites believed that they were supposed to be Chinese government troops, but he just didn't admit it. He is the battalion commander, of course, he understands that China does not dare to admit it, isn't that the same as a war with France? With this judgment, he no longer wants to run away and resist, and the Chinese government and the French government will inevitably negotiate to settle the matter.
When they arrived at Heyang, Xue Ru only waited for three days, Dai Zong's first brigade and Chen Dong's second brigade arrived, they came through mountain paths respectively, their two thousand people were not like Xue Ru, along the way they saw villages and towns to enter, and when they saw the French army, they attacked, when the two people arrived at Heyang City, each brigade got thousands of prisoners, among which there were many French citizens.
Heyang City is the political center established by Zhang Donglin, although he was arrested and other officials were hidden, but the public opinion of Heyang is still there. Cadol and Bardon couldn't do anything about it, and if they didn't catch the main figure of the Snow Wolf, they temporarily appointed officials to manage it.
The number of French troops in Vietnam was limited, and it was impossible to garrison troops everywhere, and Ha Duong could be said to have no troops at all, only a small number of police. Can such a person stop the snow fox? In order to deal with Xue Ru in a low-key manner, it is a consistent old tactic, and he entered Heyang in disguise to occupy this place in one fell swoop.
By the time Dai Zong and the others arrived, Heyang had already become Xue Ru's. It was only at this time that Cadol and Barden panicked, and when Xue Ru's troops entered from Lang Pass, he received a report, but neither of them expected that it was the Snow Fox attacking, thinking that it was a small force to rescue the destroyed Snow Wolf Brigade. The two families were originally a gang, and the French knew this, so Bardon thought that it was better to leave them alone for the time being, let them enter the interior, and then concentrate their forces to surround them and destroy them, than to go out from a distance. Besides, you can also protest to the Chinese government through the ambassador's representation, after all, this is equivalent to China declaring war on France, China can't afford it at this time, right?
When the report arrived, Cadole was dumbfounded, and Bardon was surprised and asked, "How many?" The intelligence officer said: "There are about three or four thousand people, they are regular troops, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, far from being comparable to the Snow Wolf Brigade." ”
Three or four thousand Chinese government troops, intending to seize Vietnam? Cadol calmed down and said: "General Balden, if you mobilize troops to encircle and suppress, I will immediately propose it to the Chinese government, and also report to China that China intends to start a war with France. ”
Barden also knew that there were three or four thousand regular troops, and a small number of troops were not good at all, so he surrounded and suppressed the Snow Wolf Cottage, and they only had two thousand people and were separated, and he lost more than two thousand people and did not wipe them out, so he still let them escape. This was a regular army of three or four thousand, and Barden immediately ordered the Annam division in Saigon to be transferred to the north and concentrate the Hanoi division from Hanoi, and the combined strength of the two troops reached more than 25,000 people. As long as the French government intervenes to force China not to dare to go to war and no longer send troops to come, only these three or four thousand people will not be able to make the climate.
Just when Bardon dispatched troops and Cadol reported to France and protested to the Nationalist Government through the ambassador to China, Xue Ru finally let go, and the forces of the three brigades swept away, and the northern regions of Vietnam, Taiyuan, Yiguang, Laizhou, and Ha Long Harbor fell into the hands of Snow Fox.
Dai Zong: They finally know what a garbage army is. has been fighting against the Japanese army, but even the puppet army Snow Fox does not look at it squarely, and now compared with the French army, those puppet armies are all strong armies. Some small groups of French troops were surrounded, and they raised white flags and surrendered after just a few shots.
made Dai Zong, Chen Dong, and Ouyang Sari shout that it was boring, is this a war? Too easy battles without intensity. In Heyang County, Xue Ru looked at Sun Zheng, who had just come back in front of him, and said, "It's up to you this time, let Kadoer release Zhang Donglin immediately, otherwise I will kill all his prisoners." ”
Sun Zheng said: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely let Cadol let him go, but it's better to teach him a lesson, otherwise these Frenchmen won't be honest." ”
Xue Ru nodded and said, "I know, notify Taylor to come here, and we have to make a decision as soon as possible before the national government reacts." ”
Sun Zheng left, and Xue Ru captured Zhongping after occupying Heyang, only to learn that Zhang Donglin had been captured by the French army and his whereabouts were unknown. Xue Ru admired everything Zhang Donglin had done, and he might not be able to do this. Regardless of his own safety, he insisted on finishing the arrangement, but he couldn't leave and was caught. He was his only administrator, so he had no choice but to telegraph Sun Zheng to come back and go to Hanoi to negotiate and ask the French to release Zhang Donglin.
In Cadole's office, Sun Zheng looked at Cadol with a calm face: "Your Excellency the Governor, this is the only thing we want, you have also seen the letters of those French prisoners of war, if you don't agree, these letters will be sent back to France, and I think you, the governor, will do it." ”
Bardon on the side stood up: "Presumptuous, Snow Fox is a blatant invasion, France has submitted its credentials to China, do you want to provoke a Sino-French war?" Your government will not let you go, I don't believe Xue Ru dared to kill prisoners of war. ”
Sun Zheng glanced at him with contempt: "General Balden, whether the snow fox dares to kill or not, you can just ask the Japanese, you know very well what title our young lady has in China." Also, hand over Xiao Yong, otherwise we will kill more than 1,000 whites out of the 3,000 French army. ”
Through Xiao Yong's mouth, Cadol knows Xue Ru better than Balden, a woman known as the Snow Fox Devil in China, and there is nothing she dare not do if she is ruthless. In this era, he actually ordered the slaughter of thousands of men, women, and children, not to mention that he did not dare to kill, these French were more than a thousand people.
As long as the Chinese government does not care, the French army will destroy them as soon as it is mobilized. He also said, "I can give you people, but you also have to let go of our people, this is an exchange." ”
Sun Zheng shook his head: "No, using Zhang Donglin can only be exchanged for their life guarantee, if you want to exchange for freedom, then hand over Xiao Yong, and at the same time recognize the autonomy of Heyang and the surrounding four counties." ”
"Impossible." Bardon jumped up again, and this time even Cadol said: "Mr. Sun, tell you Captain Xue, that is impossible, France will not give in, and if necessary, we can also sacrifice the more than a thousand French." ”
"Really?" Sun Zheng asked and stood up: "Okay then!" If you give up, then collect the corpses for them! After saying that, he walked out and didn't talk about it at all.
Cadol never had the guts to dare to disregard the lives of more than a thousand Frenchmen, but he didn't expect Sun Zheng to stop talking. He saw that Xue Ru wanted Zhang Donglin at such a big price, then he must be the main figure of Snow Fox, and he wanted to use this as a bargaining chip. Besides, Xue Ru asked for Xiao Yong, which he couldn't agree, so what should he do with his daughter? I had no choice but to say, "Mr. Sun, please stay, we can discuss it again." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Sun Zheng's mouth, he couldn't ignore Zhang Donglin, Miss's order, and guarantee Zhang Donglin's return at any cost, even if it was exchanged for all the prisoners of war. It was Sun Zheng who proposed to ask Xiao Yong for himself, this shameful traitor couldn't be cheap, so he got it back and killed him, and now Qiao Han and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Sun Zheng turned around and came back, both sides had something reluctant, and finally reached an agreement, the French side released Zhang Donglin and all the captured snow wolves, and agreed to the autonomy of Heyang, Qingzheng, and Zhongping counties, and the snow fox released the captured French soldiers, and the Vietnamese and Cambodians among those soldiers, Cadoll didn't bother to care about it, he just needed to ensure the safety of the French.
When the two sides reached an agreement, Bardon had a sneer on his face, Snow Fox Xue Ru was just like that, did he think the French would let her go? Three-county autonomy dream go! It's just that his own army has not been mobilized yet, otherwise he would agree to these conditions? This is only temporary.
Zhang Donglin was imprisoned and asked to see the American consular staff, but of course no one paid attention to him. Cadol is not stupid, if the United States participates, France can't afford to provoke it, so I don't know. But Cadol didn't dare to kill him, so he kept it closed. Zhang Donglin didn't know if the people he sent had seen Miss or not, how Qiao Han and the others were, and he was very anxious every day.
The prison door opened, and the cell leader was a Vietnamese: "Zhang Donglin came out." ”
Zhang Donglin stood up, he felt strange, he hadn't interrogated himself for a long time, why did he find himself out again. When he was brought to the hall and saw Sun Zheng, he was surprised and said excitedly: "Sun Zheng, why are you here?" ”
Sun Zheng smiled and said, "Miss is also here, just in Heyang, let me pick you up." ”
Zhang Donglin was so excited that he almost shed tears, Xue Ru was able to come to Vietnam, although he knew that it was not purely for himself, but he was able to send Sun Zheng to pick him up, which had moved him so much that he didn't know how to say it. Looking at the indignation on the faces of Cadol and Barden, you know that you have suffered at the hands of Miss. Hmph, you know that they are not Miss opponents.
Soon learned that it turned out that thousands of French prisoners of war were used to exchange Zhang Donglin back, which made Zhang Donglin have the idea of being willing to die for Xue Ru. The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, Zhang Donglin will repay the lady's kindness with death. This is probably the first loyal person that Xue Ru won, not his generals, but the civilian Zhang Donglin.
Since both sides had a purpose, the prisoner of war handover went smoothly, the French brought back their men, and Xue Ru also achieved his goal.
But the French army was moving from the south to the north, preparing for a large-scale siege of Ha Duong, which everyone knew. At the same time, the Nationalist Government finally reacted, declaring that Xue Ru was a personal act and had nothing to do with the Nationalist Government, removing her from all military ranks and positions, and ordering her to be arrested.
