On the way to Saigon, the expeditionary force group did not encounter any decent obstacles. Diaphragm

"Little devil, is this giving up and struggling?" Gao Jianwu is also very strange, it stands to reason that the little devil will not give up like this.

After all, this place is also what they have worked so hard to occupy.

Now the discovery and exploitation of mineral resources in this part of Annam has not yet reached a large scale, after all, it is difficult to explore and discover here, and now they want to mine, and there is no such condition for a while.

However, it is a well-known grain-producing area, and grain is also a very important strategic material in times of war.

So what are the little devils doing now? Gao Jianwu was a little puzzled, but. Since aerial reconnaissance has been going on continuously, Gao Jianwu is sure that there is no longer an air force on the scale of small devils in Saigon.

The main forces of the 5th Flying Division have moved somewhere else. Because the little devils found that their old Type 97 fighters had no hope of victory in front of Gao Jianwu's P.51D Mustang fighter group.

Instead of giving someone a record, it's better to move somewhere else. Diaphragm

So even if Gao Jianwu couldn't figure out what the Southern Army's plan was now, he didn't care and continued to move forward.

"Ding, in 8 hours, the 2nd Division, the 70th Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 29th Independent Mixed Brigade will arrive in Saigon, with a strength of about 40,000 troops, including a tank wing and a heavy artillery wing."

Suddenly, an intelligence prompt made Gao Jianwu stunned for a moment. After carefully looking through the details of the intelligence, Gao Jianwu understood the general plan of the little devil.

This is to prepare to drag yourself in Saigon, and then encircle it outside. This time, the little devils dispatched two integrated divisions and three independent mixed brigades.

Obviously, he had an idea about the three assault groups of the expeditionary force cluster that was advancing alone, rather than simply being afraid of the expeditionary force cluster.

8 hours is a long time, Jianwu carefully calculated, the little devil has to use a division and a brigade to drag himself for 8 hours, I don't know what kind of position will be set up in Saigon.

With this question, when Gao Jianwu's army approached Saigon, Gao Jianwu was shocked to find that outside Saigon, the little devil did not have a heavily defended position. Diaphragm

Instead, a few lines of defense were simply deployed, and some barbed wire barriers and bunkers were set up. Such a defensive line for the expeditionary force group is equivalent to no defense, no need for heavy artillery bombardment, only need to put the tank battalion in front, crush the barbed wire all the way, encounter the bunker tank artillery, one cannon and one bunker is almost no problem, the tank battalion soon advanced to the outskirts of Saigon.

Gao Jianwu, who followed the vanguard to the outskirts of Saigon, carefully observed the situation on the other side. The doubts in my heart deepened.

"Little devil, this is trying to force me to fight a street fight?"

From what has been observed, there is no strong wall around the whole of Saigon, and compared to the city of Shenzhou, there are very few cities in Nanyang that are surrounded by walls.

It's just that at the intersection and the street, the little devils have set up a lot of obstacles and some defensive facilities. But the strange thing is that Gao Jianwu didn't see many little devils.

That is, the little devils did not put the main forces on the roads of the city blocks on this side.

。

Obviously, the little devil is afraid of the artillery fire of Gao Jianwu's superiority. If it's on the bright side. Gao Jianwu: They will obviously use fierce artillery fire to clean. Now the artillery configuration of the little devil cannot be compared with the cluster of the expeditionary force at all. Diaphragm

There is almost no point in confronting in terms of artillery fire.

。

Looking at the dense houses in the distance, Gao Jianwu couldn't help but have a headache, he knew that now the main forces of the little devils were all hiding in the houses of these residents.

Here the little devil prepares for him a brutal street fight.

Gao Jianwu frowned, this is a new topic, this time he really feels a little tricky.

Street fighting in the city is the most tragic offensive and defensive tactic at any time, and the initiator often has a decisive battle mentality. At the same time, it is also the best tactical means for the weak side of firepower equipment to achieve the limit of one for one.

Even in the new era of Gao Jianwu, the top modern siege troops with many high-tech weapons, facing the defending militia only using simple weapons such as AK and bazooka, will pay a huge price for casualties in the urban street battle, in order to win the urban street battle!

This victory also means destroying cities into ruins. Diaphragm

The expeditionary force cluster has not yet been trained specifically for urban street fighting. Therefore, if such a battle is forcibly launched, Gao Jianwu estimates that the casualties will be very heavy.

He couldn't afford such a fight.

But Saigon is in front of him, and it is impossible for Gao Jianwu not to occupy it and let the scattered little devils go in vain, but to think about resolutely exterminating them here.

Under the attack of the cluster tank battalion of the expeditionary force, the small devil defensive positions outside the city were quickly destroyed one by one, the barbed wire fence was torn down, and the dark forts were pulled out one by one.

The three attack groups surrounded the whole of Saigon with the momentum of encircling three and missing one.

If the little devils thought that they could escape from the gap, when they came out, they would find that there were already three tank battalions waiting for them.

Gao Jianwu arrived in a tank to Saigon to observe, and in the southwest corner of the city, there were dense thatched-roof houses one after another, leaving many roads in the middle that even jeeps could not pass. Diaphragm

In such a narrow place, the strength of the team cannot be used at all, and a random ambush of a sniper and a few assaulters can hold a street or an alley.

For the attacking side, this kind of terrain is extremely unfavorable for combat, heavy weapons are basically useless, and light weapons can only be cleared by ambushing others, then this kind of battle will be the most difficult, and it will also cause the greatest casualties.

"How many local residents are still here?" Gao Jianwu observed for a long time, turned his head to a middle-aged local guide, and seemed to have a bit of déjà vu, but Gao Jianwu was sure that he hadn't seen it, but Gao Jianwu didn't think about it so much, and asked directly.

"Hearing that there was going to be a war, at least half of the people in the city fled, but there were still half of them who stayed here." Said the local guide.

After all, it is difficult to leave their homeland anywhere, and these people will definitely be reluctant to abandon it after living here for a long time. Now it can run out of nearly 1 and a half people.

"Is there a way to get them all out?" Gao Jianwu then asked.

"We can try." "We can tell them by handing out leaflets that if they come out of the city, we propose to give each of their families a bag of food, and with the incentive of this benefit, more people will come out to collect food." "Ahh

This local guide does not seem to be an idle person, and he has a very deep insight into the thoughts of these local people.

Gao Jianwu glanced at the middle-aged guide deeply.

"Fellow, can you ask, what's your name?" Gao Jianwu asked.

"My name is Nguyen Aiguo." The middle-aged guide replied.

Gao Jianwu's heart was shocked, and a familiar person appeared in his mind.

"You're not an overseas Chinese?" Gao Jianwu asked slowly.

"Although it's a pity that I'm not an overseas Chinese, I have the same heart as overseas Chinese to drive away little devils!" The middle-aged guide replied very naturally. Diaphragm

"I hope that we can get rid of the colonizers here, and realize that this place is managed by us, and I hope that the expeditionary force cluster can fully support us in this matter." Ruan Aiguo said with some fanaticism.

Sure enough, I met them here, but Gao Jianwu didn't have any intention of making friends with these people at all.

This is a group of white-eyed wolves who can't raise a family, and in Gao Jianwu's heart, this is not a place for him to continue to operate for a long time.

So he didn't think about doing anything here to encircle this place all along, Huang Qingyuan and they only had a little strength, and they could occupy a large part of the new Malaysia and Sumatra, which had exhausted their manpower and material resources.

The colony occupied by this French chicken is also a piece of chicken ribs for Gao Jianwu, and it is not easy to follow it, but it will be very poor to digest if you eat it.

Gao Jianwu doesn't have so many overseas Chinese to fill these places. Here, at best, he is a passer-by.

"Fellow, you go and find a way to get the local residents to come out, the little devils are hiding in their houses, once they attack, no one will survive." Gao Jianwu looked at the middle-aged guide and said. Diaphragm

"I can give them two hours, and in two hours we will launch a fierce attack!"

When the middle-aged guide heard Gao Jianwu say this, his heart chuckled. "Okay, no problem, we'll do everything we can to get the local residents to withdraw."

......

"Lao Kong, Lao Lu, look, what can we do to defeat this city in 8 hours?" After Gao Jianwu sent the middle-aged guide away, he said to Kong Jie and Lu Fan, who had been following him.

"It's not good, it's really not funny, looking at the dense city buildings, our people go in, and it's good to be able to take down a street in a day." Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe, spit out a puff of smoke and said.

"It's not that I'm picking fat and thin, it's much more difficult to fight a war in this kind of place than to fight a guerrilla war in the mountains."

After the change of home and away, Kong Jie was not wrong. It is indeed more difficult to fight in the streets in this place than to fight guerrillas in the mountains. Diaphragm

"I'm afraid it's not easy to use artillery. This place is so big, I don't know how many shells it will take to knock them all down? Kong Jie added.

After listening, he nodded. He also took it into account. In order to push all the flattening of a city like this, you need not only a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but also time.

And now for Gao Jianwu, the most difficult thing is time, he only has 8 hours. After 8 hours to annihilate all the little devils here, the tactics of each defeat can be realized.

It's just that now it seems that the regular style of play no longer works.

"Gao detachment," Lu Fan still referred to as the old leader, "I do have a not very mature idea that can quickly resolve the battle. If this idea is a bit cruel. ”

"Old Lu, let's hear it." Gao Jianwu said.

"I think almost all the houses here have thatched roofs, and there are a lot of flammable materials such as wood in them. If we find a way to set them on fire. Diaphragm

I'm afraid it will soon cause a fire that will sweep through the city. In this case, we will wait outside the city for the little devils to escape, and we will destroy them one by one. ”

Set? After Gao Jianwu and Kong Jie listened, their eyes lit up. It doesn't matter to them whether they are cruel or not. These little devils can't be seen as adults.

It's just that there are a lot of locals in it. Kong Jie glanced at Gao Jianwu, if this is domestic, it is absolutely impossible.

But here it is...

"Prepare 100 rounds of artillery shells mixed with leaflets, put the propaganda leaflets of our attack in 2 hours, spread all over the large areas of the city, write in Annan and devil dialect bilingually, everyone must evacuate as soon as possible, the little devils go south out of the city and surrender, the local people go out of the city from the west, if there is disobedience, the consequences will be borne by themselves."

Gao Jianwu was silent for less than 5 seconds before making a decision.

"The rest of the artillery, prepare incendiary bombs, in addition, call the air force through the radio to prepare 20 fighters to bomb, the time is just 2 hours later, all fighters are ready to be fully loaded with incendiary bombs, and carry out targeted elimination bombing of Saigon!" Diaphragm

Even Gao Jianwu, who was far away from the Expeditionary Force Flying Squadron at the Bangkok Airport, also made combat arrangements through a telegram sent by his former commander, and soon the Expeditionary Force Flying Corps began to prepare for the replacement of a batch of incendiary bombs.

......

In the city of Saigon, propaganda teams of hundreds of people and propaganda leaflets with artillery shells began to fall into the hands of well-intentioned people one after another, and large groups of people began to come out of the city.

Now the cannon outside the city is rumbling, and many people already know it. At this moment, I heard that there was still a war, and when the time came, artillery would be dispatched to bombard the city.

Many people were also very scared, so they came out together. What's more, when a family comes out, they can still get a bag of food to suppress the shock?

So on the whole, the evacuation work carried out by the middle-aged guide was still very effective. Most of the locals who lived in the city followed them out of the city.

When the time came, Gao Jianwu did not hesitate to give the order to launch an incendiary bomb. Diaphragm

They first chose a block for an experimental launch. It took only three incendiary bombs to set the neighborhood's houses on fire, and the houses built by the indigenous people out of large quantities of straw, wood and bamboo soon burst into flames.

The little devils guarding this block never dreamed that in the face of such a fortified city, Gao Jianwu's methods were so simple and rude!

The little devils rushed out of the door one by one wailing from the burning room, watching the little devils wailing in the sea of fire, Gao Jianwu's heart was like iron and stone, constantly directing the extension of artillery fire, all the heavy artillery fired incendiary bombs into the depths of the city, and the mortars fired small incendiary bombs to destroy the city step by step into ashes.

Houses made of bamboo, wood and dead grass. A big ignition has no place to hide at all.

Looking at the skyrocketing fires that rose in the city, the residents of those brigades outside the city were stunned and their hearts were full of fear!

These came out of the city under the propaganda of the middle-aged guide and his people, perhaps their original intention was just to receive a bag of grain.

But this time, their greed allowed them to save a life. Diaphragm

Two hours after Gao Jianwu's promise, the fleet of the expeditionary force also appeared in the sky above the city on time, and as one by one incendiary bombs were thrown, the entire city began to slowly become a sea of fire.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, now that the whole city is surrounded by the enemy, we cannot break through. Now this fire, I think the whole thing will be destroyed by the fire. I'm afraid we're not immune. The captain of the escort squadron of the Chief of General Staff Numata said with a pale face.

Now the whole city is full of smoke, and many places are already in a sea of fire, looking at the current trend, it will not be long before the whole city will be in flames.

All the calculations before the war were all in vain in this fire.

The Chief of the General Staff Numata made a lot of calculations, but he did not calculate such a result as now.

He set up his headquarters in the center of the city, and now in the face of the fire all over the city, even if the commander-in-chief of the general Terauchi left him a transport plane to escape, what is the use, Gao Jianwu is really ruthless, and he directly completely destroyed a big city.

By the way, tens of thousands of locust troops were buried. Diaphragm

As well as a lieutenant general of the General Staff of the Southern Army!

A plan to burn all the jade and stones, and finally achieved one goal, that is, the whole city was burned!

......

As the fire raged in Saigon, within a few hours, a "ding" prompt sound sounded in Gao Jianwu's mind, and it was obvious that the battle was over.

The system took the initiative to settle Gao Jianwu according to the scene selection, because at this time, the little devil's reinforcements still had a few hours to go to Saigon.

Gao Jianwu watched the sea of fire outside the city for several hours, watching many little devils rush out with fire all over their bodies, wanting to escape from this area, but unfortunately this time they had no chance.

How could Gao Jianwu give them another chance, he set up the machine gun position in front, and the direction of the city was densely packed with machine gun fire points! Diaphragm

This time, Gao Jianwu didn't even want to be captured, and directly ordered the escaped little devil to be killed on the outskirts of the city.

In this battle, most of the main forces of the little devils were deployed in the city, and they couldn't run out after the fire was ignited.

Only some little devils on the edge of the city still ran out, but these are a very small number of little devils, and they can't make waves, and the machine gun fire set up on the periphery will mercilessly knock down these enemies!

After he completed this step, Ding Wei and the others also annihilated most of the scattered troops of the 37th Division and the 34th Brigade around Phnom Penh.

As for the little devils who are still remnants, they are not very large-scale now, that is, the opponents left for further training of the first and second attack groups of the Free Army.

Ding Wei and his team marched to the cities of Pakse and Kaishan on the northern side of Phnom Penh, and their next task was to clear the western front of the Southern Army of French Indochina!

And Gao Jianwu led the expeditionary force into the group, and after solving the defenders in Saigon, he directly assaulted the reinforcements rushed by the little devils: led by the 2nd Division, the 70th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 29th Independent Mixed Brigade Temporary Attack Corps were mixed. Diaphragm

The two armies met in Thuan An in the north, and the expeditionary force cluster with aerial reconnaissance was the first to confirm the approximate location of the little devil reinforcements, and Gao Jianwu ordered the reconnaissance team to drive a jeep to the location of the little devil reinforcements, and then observe the location of their army artillery wing.

Gao Jianwu commanded the heavy artillery regiment to establish an artillery position, and after the little devil entered the shelling range, according to the coordinate location information fed back by the front-line reconnaissance team, the map in Gao Jianwu's mind was quickly reflected into a complete map, and according to the artillery elements calculated by Gao Jianwu, the artillery took the lead.

In this battle, Gao Jianwu seemed to have returned to the time and space of Jin Sui to fight the little devils, and took the lead in removing the threat of the little devil artillery, and then the tank battalion and the infantry staged an increasingly skilled infantry artillery coordination, and as the tank battalion advanced, the heavy artillery could also follow them for extended artillery bombardment.

In the entire encounter, without using air power, Gao Jianwu almost wiped out the reinforcements of the little devil, a division and two mixed brigades!

This battle ate the main force of the Southern Army in French Indochina!

In the whole of French Indochina, there is no longer a force that can stop Gao Jianwu and them.

Gao Jianwu led the expeditionary force to the eastern front cluster and continued northward, along the coastline of Annam, all the way through the entire French Indochina. Diaphragm

Gao Jianwu's march was even faster than the British and Indian armies picking up garbage in the back.

If Gao Jianwu hadn't discovered several valuable rare metal minerals, nickel-manganese and titanium along the way, waiting for the Haoshang Mineral Resources Company in Nanyang to bring people to come and receive them, Gao Jianwu would have been able to destroy the main force of the entire Southern Army in French Indochina by the expeditionary force cluster in less than a month, and then break through Annam!

It's just that considering some unexpected gains along the way, Gao Jianwu also let the army stop in place and wait, and the people sent by the Nanyang wealthy merchants here.

Nickel, manganese and titanium are all good things that Gao Jianwu urgently needs, and while the French chicken is still sending people under the fence, he can't say anything at all, and it is nothing to occupy a few of their mines.

The middle-aged guide did his best along the way, so that Gao Jianwu could also enjoy the convenience of having a local snake to lead the way, so Gao Jianwu finally agreed to let them pull up a team of more than 5,000 people and arm them with captured little devil weapons.

After all, Gao Jianwu can't stay here now, and his mine needs to be safeguarded, in addition to the armed mine security team, which also needs middle-aged guides to protect them.

Gao Jianwu and the others rushed forward all the way, and the attacks of the expeditionary force clusters along the way were fierce and fast, and they had already beaten the little devils of the southern military French Indochina out of a psychological barrier! Except for some of the little devils who fled into the jungle to escape the catastrophe, the vast majority of the little devils did not even have a chance to surrender, and finally beat the little devil garrisons in many small places in Annan and fled into the jungle in advance. Diaphragm

At the same time, it also allowed the middle-aged guides and their high-level leaders to establish the impression that the expeditionary force cluster was invincible. They are very clear about the allies in Southeast Asia, they have seen them fight, and they have also seen them defeat and surrender, but the little devils they once thought were invincible, under the blow of the expeditionary force cluster, they simply did not have any ability to resist.

Compared to the Expeditionary Force Cluster Alliance, it is simply a group of gods of war possessed!
