Chapter 240: Troops Advance into North Vietnam (1)
In the conference room of the Nanning camp, the two captains and four squadron leaders of the newly formed Snow Fox Corps all had serious faces, and at the same time, they were also angry. No one spoke, they were angry because of what happened in Vietnam, and they were also worried about Qiao Han and Zhang Donglin.
For a long time, Ouyang Sari said: "I didn't expect Xiao Yong to be such a person, because I still supported him so much at that time, shameful traitor, I will definitely kill him when I see him again." ”
Dai Zong said: "Shut up, what are you talking about at this time? Or find a way to solve the problem. ”
Ouyang Sari suddenly remembered, the most painful person is probably Miss! Hearing what happened in Vietnam, although the young lady didn't say anything, it was still the same as usual, but the people around her could obviously feel that the young lady had spoken less, and she was not as easy-going as before, talking and laughing, and became a lot more silent.
Hearing that Xiao Yong betrayed, betrayed the snow fox, and colluded with the French to frame the snow wolf brigade, they were all angry, but they didn't say anything. Xue Ru raised his hand to stop Dai Zong's words and said: "Actually, it's nothing, don't think about me, Xiao Yong has a beloved, it's not a bad thing, emotional things can't be forced, we are all adults, we should understand." The fact that the French suddenly took advantage of the Japanese inspection team, I don't think it was Xiao Yong who betrayed him. ”
"Miss" Du Heng said: "Miss, why do you still believe him, this ungrateful thing, what can't you do to marry a French woman." ”
Du Heng's words were agreed by several people at the meeting. Xue Ru still said calmly: "I don't believe him, there is something strange about things, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems, I didn't come to you today to study these issues, but the issue of the Vietnamese channel." ”
Dai Zong said: "Actually, Miss has too many concerns, my opinion is that the snow fox entered northern Vietnam to directly control the Vietnam-Kunming Railway and the Haining Highway, what is the great thing about the French, they don't also occupy other people's territory, why can't he occupy us." ”
"Yes, that's right." Chen Dong said: "France can set up a governor's palace, why can't we set up one, why listen to the French." ”
Xue Ru didn't think about this, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Qiao Han and them into northern Vietnam, but there were two questions that Xue Ru didn't study clearly, the first one, if he did that, would he get the support of the Republic of China? The loss of northern Vietnam must have put pressure on China, and will Lao Chiang be able to resist the pressure? If not, how many people can firmly follow themselves, after all, their families are in China, and the hearts of Chinese are "difficult to leave their homeland." ”
The second question, even if you don't take these into account, you can occupy it with military capabilities, after all, the French army is far away from Vietnam, they are in Europe, and it won't take long for them to be wiped out by Germany, and France has nothing to do if World War II doesn't end. However, France has more than 30,000 troops in Vietnam, mainly a navy and air force, and it will not only be difficult to gain a firm foothold, but also take time.
It is because of this that Xue Ru sent Qiao Han and them to open up the preliminary situation, and sent Zhang Donglin, who had the ability of local administration, to Vietnam, hoping to open the foundation for the development of the situation, and in a few months Germany attacked France, Snow Fox could cross the border into Vietnam, and at that time Snow Fox was no longer facing the French army, but the Japanese army, which was also justified.
It was with these ideas that when Chiang Kai-shek cut his power, he handed over two divisions to reorganize the Snow Fox Brigade with the original loyal people. Du Heng's words expressed his concerns, and Dai Zong said: "Miss actually don't worry, the snow fox is not a Chinese army, we are an independent army to the outside world, the snow fox enters Vietnam, what if France is satisfied or not, it is okay to expel them from Vietnam." ”
Xue Ru shook his head: "How can it be so simple, France still has a navy and air force in Vietnam, what do we have, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight, we need time to prepare, and it is not appropriate to expose strategic intentions too early at this time." ”
Wei Ming said: "According to what the intelligence department has learned, and according to what you said, we have noticed that Japan is preparing to attack Nanning, and there will be a big war on this side, so what should we do, and besides, the national government still has more than 100,000 tons of goods in Haiphong Port, and if the Japanese succeed this time, those materials will not be able to be transported back." I suggest that Snow Fox enter Vietnam, not only to control the railways and roads, but also to control the goods, the government can't get it, and we can't cheap the Japanese. ”
"Yes, yes" Wei Ming's words were immediately agreed by the generals who were holding the meeting. Xue Ru thought for a while and said: "It seems that everyone agrees with this plan, okay, Dai Zong will go back and prepare, the two captains will gather, and all the soldiers will prepare dry food for seven days, enter Vietnam from the Lang Son Road, and temporarily use the name of Qiao Han to the outside world, called the Snow Wolf Brigade." ”
Seeing that Miss agreed to the plan proposed by his people, Dai Zong was very happy and hurriedly stood upright: "Yes, Miss, when will you act?" ”
Xue Ru said: "Since it has been decided, it is without further ado, Qiao Han and they don't know if they can break through, and his telegram is with the determination to die." I have telegraphed him to save his life, and I will find a way to enter Vietnam as quickly as possible with the 1st Squadron of the 1st Brigade and rescue the 2nd Brigade of the Snow Wolves. ”
Du Heng hurriedly stood upright: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely rescue Captain Qiao and them." He turned around and said to Ding Fenglun, the leader of the first squadron beside him: "Look at you this time, vomit blood and rush me to the place." ”
Ding Fenglun was demoted to the squadron leader this time, but everyone understood that the Snow Fox Brigade was reorganized, two divisions were transferred, and the people who came back were the most loyal people of the young lady, and the position in the Snow Fox was not important, and Lizheng said: "The task must be completed." ”
Xue Ru said: "Feng Lun, it's too late to reach the location from here, even if it's too late for a fast horse, you have to be steady, although there are not many people in Snow Fox, but thousands of people have crossed the border in a big way, and the French will not be unaware, don't be polite to them, but try your best to catch them alive, I need to take prisoners." The headquarters will enter in a few days, and I will arrive at the original Snow Wolf Cottage to wait for your news. ”
Ding Fenglun knew that it would take three or five days to reach the location from here at the earliest, and Qiao Han and the others would either break through or die in battle, so they couldn't wait anywhere, so they nodded straightly. Xue Ru said: "Dai Zong, you command the first brigade, and Chen Dong commands the second brigade to secretly cross the border in two routes, and meet at the Snow Wolf Cottage, it is best not to be discovered before the troops converge, I will wait for you there." ”
Dai Zong said: "Isn't it too dangerous for Miss to act alone? ”
Xue Ru smiled: "It's okay, I and Sari and their direct squadron are operating, there is a place for France for the time being, there is no danger, and the dispersal is just to not attract the attention of the French, we have to gain time to stand still." ”
The Snow Fox's military meeting ended, and the Snow Fox Brigade in Nanning left the station one after another. For the garrison in Nanning, it is equivalent to the personal armament of the camp director, and many officials are not clear about this mysterious director at all. It stands to reason that the director of the Guangxi camp is the first person in military and political affairs, and is the highest military and political chief in Guangxi, but Xue Ru is obviously not, she doesn't care about anything, and the government has no instructions, so she becomes a listed director.
But her position is there, and no one will mess with her, making Guangxi Xingying a special place. The director of this battalion has an army of his own, and the Snow Fox Corps has more than 3,000 people in two brigades, and they are well-equipped, which is not comparable to the ordinary national army, and their equipment exceeds that of the German armor division by a lot.
The military uniform is not the same as that of the Central Army of the National Army, and the armband is a fox, which is a completely alternative army. Snow Fox doesn't have to pay a penny of food from the government, and of course no one cares about it. When the Snow Fox Corps left, no one in Nanning paid attention to it, and no one knew, as if it had all disappeared overnight.
There will be no obstacle to the movement of the Snow Fox Corps, because they have an order issued by the Guangxi Battalion. There was nothing in the way along the way, and the approach to the border was smooth. At the same time, Xue Ru also left Xingyingfu and Ouyang Sari's direct squadron, with more than 200 people, including confidential personnel from the headquarters headquarters, and took the radio station, and left a dozen cars to go straight from Nanning to Chongming, from where they would reach Pingxiang, and one day they would enter Vietnam.
On the road leading to Lang Son Pass, Xue Ru raised his binoculars to look at the road he had ordered to build. At this time, the road is deserted, and not a single car can be seen. According to the report of the Wei Ming Intelligence Department, the French Governor's Office ordered the closure of the border crossing after the extermination of the Snow Wolf Cottage, and the southern part of the road was guarded by the French army, and the northern part was guarded by the Guangxi border guards.
This happened to Xue Ru, which reminded Xue Ru that she seemed to remember that Japan occupied Vietnam before the outbreak of the Pacific War, and all the Chinese materials that had accumulated in Vietnam were confiscated and seized by Japan, which were hundreds of thousands of tons of petroleum rubber, automobiles and machinery, as well as a lot of things to make weapons and ammunition, which not only caused China huge losses, but also helped Japan get these materials.
Xue Ru didn't say it, Dai Zong didn't know about it, but Xue Ru knew. It was October of the 39th year, and Germany would invade France in half a year, and France would not be able to take care of its overseas colonies. After thinking about it repeatedly, Xue Ru decided to enter Vietnam ahead of schedule and control this lifeline, if the situation is opened, the Chinese expeditionary force will no longer need to open the road to Burma, and it will be enough to have the road of Vietnam.
For half a year, as long as they keep a low profile, France will not be able to react much, that is, they want to react, how can the transfer of troops from France to Asia be completed in a month or two months, I am afraid that Germany will destroy him before he can transfer troops. According to the time calculation, it is no problem to enter now.
After thinking about it before and after, accepting Dai Zong's opinion, the Snow Fox Corps entered Vietnam ahead of schedule. The highway that had been built with so much effort was now deserted, and there was not a single car, which made Xue Ru snort coldly. Ouyang Sari said: "Miss, what to do with the French army on the other side of the pass? ”
Xue Ru said: "Send people over to surround them, disarm and capture them, take them into custody, take over the Langshan Pass, and send our people to guard them." ”
"Yes" Ouyang Sa Ritachi replied, the ninth squadron left the road under the command of Li Yanpeng, and lurked towards the Sino-Vietnamese border line from the side woods, Xue Ru waved his hand Zhang Jiu's ninth squadron forward, directly through the pass to the territory of Vietnam.
On this side, the Guangxi border guards saw a group of troops coming, and Zhang Dongwu, the company commander guarding the border, stopped the convoy. Xue Ru's military uniform, although he didn't know it, but the rank of lieutenant general startled Zhang Dongwu, and he hurriedly stood up: "See Director Xue." ”
Xue Ru was stunned: "You know me?" ”
Zhang Dongwu said embarrassedly: "The director of the camp is a woman, I see you...... Just ......" Xue Ru also smiled, this little company commander was really smart, and said: "You are very smart, you are not slow to react, not bad." ”
Although Xue Ru is not very old, his position is too high, how could Zhang Dongwu have the opportunity to talk to such a person, and when he was praised by Xue Ru, he hurriedly stood up excitedly: "Chief Xie praises." ”
Xue Ru said: "Yes, you are border guards, guarding the gate of the country, and you should be praised for your loyalty, and this will become a busy passage in the future, and you must strictly guard the pass." ”
"Yes, sir." Zhang Dongwu said in a straight position: "But the French army on the opposite side does not let the Chinese pass, there have been no pedestrians for a long time, what is the commander doing here?" ”
Xue Ru said: "The opposite side will be taken over by the Snow Fox Corps immediately, and this road will be opened again, and the two must cooperate well to ensure that the road is smooth." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Dongwu, a small company commander, how can he know so much, where the snow fox took over the French, why is this? But he didn't dare to ask, but just answered straight and obeyed.
Xue Ru didn't say anything to Zhang Dongwu again, his position was too low, it should be a unit of the 175th Division, even if there was anything, Xue Ru would tell their division commander.
Xue Ru acted privately, and it was not an official action of the government, so of course he didn't want to alarm the 175th Division. Zhang Dongwu dared to interfere with what Xue Ru was doing, and let him go immediately. Xue Ru's convoy entered the mountain road through the mountain pass post, and then on the Lang Son Pass, where a barracks was established and the road passed at the foot of the mountain.
The French flag fluttered above the barracks, in contrast to the Chinese flag, telling everyone that they had entered the French territory. Guarding this side was a battalion of the 7th Regiment of the French Hanoi Division. It turns out that there are not so many troops here. In the end, Bardon didn't catch Qiao Han and let them escape, so he reprimanded the brigade commander and regiment commander and ordered a search. However, only a few dozen snow wolf brigades disappeared, and even those who broke out of the snow wolf cottage were missing. In order to prevent them from escaping back to China, the blockade of the border was strengthened, so a battalion of troops was transferred here to guard the Liangshan Highway.
The battalion commander, Captain Benjets, was shocked when he saw dozens of large cars and small cars, full of soldiers, this is not a transport vehicle, it is an army, could it be that China is attacking Vietnam on a large scale? Frightened, he ordered the whistle to be blown, and the officers and men of the battalion were ready for battle, and sent an executive officer to stop in the middle of the road.
Ouyang Sari jumped out of a car and said to the translator next to him: "Tell him that we are the Snow Fox Corps, and we are going to Haiphong to transport Chinese supplies and let them go." ”
After hearing this, the executive officer said: "According to the order of the Governor's Palace, the border passage is closed, you can go back!" ”
