Chapter 168: Overwhelming

China's entry into Vietnam this time was the 1st Pei Pei and 2 mixed brigades. According to the establishment of China's army, the previous serial number 1oo is the first division, and the serial number 1o1 and later is the second division. However, there are not 1oo A divisions, and there are only 2 A divisions at present. There are currently 2 divisions of the second type, namely the 1st to the 12th division. There are also 2 mixed brigades.

The three basic units of the A division, the B division, and the mixed brigade have the same establishment in the three basic units of the company platoon (the infantry company has 44 men in the 19th infantry platoon and 2 in the infantry squad), and the difference is mainly in the synthesized Cheng dΓΉ.

In addition to the fixed establishment of "three steps and one artillery," the Division A has joined functional detachments directly under the engineering corps, air defense, logistics, and reconnaissance units, and has a certain degree of independent combat capability. Moreover, the establishment of artillery batteries and command structures is also larger. The number of such a battalion is 1ooo, and the number of regiments of the first type is about 456 people. The number of the B battalion, which is even lower, is only about B1o, and the number of B regiments is 36

At this time, a division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was composed of 1 A infantry regiment, 1 artillery regiment, 1 air defense battalion, 1 armored reconnaissance battalion, 1 6th aviation squadron and Ruoyu directly subordinate troops, with a number of about 26o, while the B division was composed of 1 B infantry regiment, 1 artillery regiment and Ruoyu directly subordinate troops, with a number of about 186o mixed brigade, which consisted of 2 B infantry regiments, 2 artillery battalions and other units, with a number of about 1o6

The current Chinese 6th Army has 2 A divisions (40,000 people), 2 B divisions of 60,000 people, 2 mixed brigades and 6 heavy artillery brigades (. 60,000), 4 cavalry brigades. 60,000), the 6 air carriers, various garrison units, and various independent units are being formed, and the total number of troops has reached 1.32 million. Together with the more than 90,000 air forces and nearly 120,000 navies, the total strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has exceeded 150,000. This is not counting the more than 30,000 reservists and more than 20,000 armed police forces.

It was precisely this large-scale modern army that made Britain and Russia in the Entente countries pinch their noses and acquiesce in this "Sino-French colonial conflict". Well, in their official propaganda, this is a colonial conflict or a colonial war, and China and France have tacitly not declared war at this time, even though both sides have already started fighting. As for what the other party, Vietnam, thinks, uh, does their opinion matter?

At this time, a squadron was advancing towards Thanh Hoa, which was the 18th Mixed Brigade that entered Vietnam this time. Their mission was to pursue the fleeing Vietnamese army and occupy Thanh Hoa

"The Vietnamese army can run faster than a rabbit without fighting...... brigade commander Wang Qiu said helplessly: "This broken road is really enough, don't the French know how to repair the road?" This is also due to the fact that our 18th Brigade is a mountain brigade, and if it is replaced by other troops, I am afraid that we will not be able to walk several miles in a day......

Li Keze, the political commissar of the brigade, said with a smile: "Vietnam is the key place for the French to operate in the Indochina Peninsula, and the road here is already good, what is the reason for you to go to Laos......

Comrade Wang Qiu was originally promoted to the official head of a certain main regiment because of his exploits in the liberation of Kunming. But his father, General Wang Fei, ran to Wen Desi to intercede, asking not to get him out of town, nor to go to the front-line troops. The reason is very strong, because Wang Qiu is a single transmission of three generations, and if there is any accident, the old Wang family will be extinct. Wen Deji thought about it for a moment and agreed.

So, General Wang Fei was happy this time, but Wang Qiu's classmate was tragic, he was first appointed director of the training department of the Yunnan Provincial Military Region, and then the deputy chief of staff of the provincial military region, and then entered the military academy for a year of further study. Anyway, according to Mr. Wen's meaning, that is, before he gets out of the cub, he can only be in the second-line unit.

In the past few years, Wang Qiu has been miserable, seeing other classmates and alumni who entered the army at the same time fighting in the north and south, but he could only squat depressedly in the back and draw circles.

Until this year, Wang Qiu's hard work finally paid off, and the seven harems in the family were ripe, and three boys and four girls were born in a row. Now that he has descendants to confess, Wang Qiu finally got rid of the nickname of "second-line squat", and was appointed as the commander of the 18th Mixed Brigade this month, and the political commissar is still Li Keze, the old partner of the former provisional regiment.

Less than two months after Wang Qiu took over the 18th Mixed Brigade, he received the task of entering Vietnam to protect overseas Chinese, which made him very happy. Nima, after holding back for several years, can finally get a fight now.

The day before yesterday, Wang Qiu, who was gearing up, was the first to rush out of the border with the 18th Mixed Brigade, and before the air raid in the sky was over, he rushed into the old street with his troops. The 3rd Tokyo Infantry Regiment stationed in Lao Cai was a "green belt" (local unit) under the command of Vietnamese officials, and its combat effectiveness was not good in the first place, but after the air raid, it became even more chaotic, and in the face of the wolf-like 18th Mixed Brigade, it was not able to fight back at all. It only took less than half an hour to resist and then herd the sheep.

However, although the troops composed of these locals were not good at fighting, their escape skills were first-class, and while the 18th Mixed Brigade took over the city defense, these guys quickly ran away.

Next, the 18th Mixed Brigade, equipped with a large number of vehicles, marched all the way and reached Yong'an in only one day. In Yong'an, they encountered the culprit of the incident, the Beiqi Security Brigade (security guards, also known as blue ribbon soldiers). The Beiqi Security Brigade belongs to the second level of the French Indochinese colonial army, second only to the regular army (also known as the "Red Belt Army") led by the French ** officer, and belongs to the command of the Beiqi Commander in terms of establishment.

Before the squadron entered Vietnam, it had already said that it was to protect overseas Chinese, and Li Dashui, the brigade commander of the Beiqi Security Brigade, also knew the reason for the incident, and he knew very well that this disaster was a big disaster. However, he still had a bit of luck, he thought that this thing was done seamlessly, after all, the robbers who shot were all bandits, and the contact person with the bandits also changed hands. Even if the arrested robbers confessed, they couldn't implicate him.

However, he obviously underestimated the power of the state after it was moved. Not to mention, there is also the Yellow Flower Detective, the leading party. What he thought was secret was investigated within a few days. As a result, he and the Beiqi Security Brigade were both tragic, and Wen Desi personally ordered that the Beiqi Security Brigade was not allowed to surrender

The 18th Mixed Brigade first surrounded the 66 people of the Beiqi Security Brigade, and then, with the support of the Air Force, launched an attack, no, it should be said that it was a massacre. Because the two sides of the battle are not at the same level at all, regardless of the number of people, equipment and training level, they are not on the same level at all. There is no suspense at all.

In this battle, from the brigade commander Li Dashui down, more than 66 people of the Beiqi Security Brigade were all wiped out. Either they were killed in battle or the prisoners were executed in a centralized manner, and no prisoners were left.

When the 18th Mixed Brigade slaughtered the Beiqi Security Brigade, the 18th Pei behind them bypassed Yongan and continued to advance. The Dipei and 19th Mixed Brigades, which had already taken Taiyuan and Haiphong respectively, had already taken Taiyuan and Haiphong and were advancing towards Hanoi. By the time Wang Qiu arrived in Hanoi, it had already been occupied by the People's Liberation Army.

The absolute main force in the Beiqi area (northern Vietnam) -- the French Tokyo Light Infantry Regiment (Red Belt Soldiers) was attacked by the 1st Pei outside Hanoi City, and knelt down in less than half a day, and the entire army of about 86 people did not run away, more than 556 people were captured from the French ** regiment commander and below, and the rest were all killed. Subsequently, the defenders of Hanoi surrendered, and there was no decent resistance in the whole of Beiqi.

After the incident, an additional garrison regiment and 18 armed police brigades were dispatched into Vietnam to maintain order and sweep away bandits and stragglers, while several main forces continued to pursue to the south.

At that time, the French armed forces in Indochina were very weak. The regular army is composed of French officers and local Vietnamese soldiers, and is also known as the "Red Belt Soldiers" because of its red hat belt and belt. Even this kind of army is not many, including 1 corps in the north, 1 corps in the middle and 2 corps in the south. This kind of "legion" is actually only a brigade size, with a number of about 4o6 to 66 people.

The Tokyo Light Infantry Corps in Beiqi was one of the main field forces under the Governor of French Indochina, and was probably the most capable of fighting. As soon as this force is finished, there will be no decent troops in the whole north of Hue, because the main responsibility of the Annam Light Infantry Corps in charge of Zhongqi is to defend Hue.

"What to do, what to do?" said Albert O, the Governor of French Indochina, as he was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, circling around the governor's office.

"Damn Chinese, this is too savage, those damn Vietnamese monkeys, it's useless," he cursed with red eyes.

The governor of Salo really couldn't express his grievances at this time, this governor had just sat up for less than half a month, and the Chinese Nima called.

"Luce, this old bastard, he didn't take care of his subordinates himself, but he made me miserable" He couldn't help but start cursing his predecessor again.

At this time, Joost O Van Warrenhoven pushed open the door and walked in, and he said to Governor Salo with an ugly face: "Your Excellency, I have just contacted the Chinese, and they do not agree to withdraw the troops. I don't think they're going to back down when they have the upper hand. ”

Van Warrenhoven was a retired colonel of the 6th Army who currently serves as the secretary general of the Governor.

The Chinese's refusal was also expected by Governor Salo, and he had to say in discouragement: "Jost, what do you say we should do now? The old men in the country, don't expect it, now they have not quarreled with a result, even if the country wants to send reinforcements, it will take at least more than a month." How could we possibly hold on to that time

Van Warrenhoven shrugged: "Yes, the Chinese are too fast, they are equipped with a large number of cars and mules and horses, as well as airships and seas, and they have already fought to Nanding for three days." We simply didn't have time to mobilize the local Vietnamese at all...... "Although he is not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese, he can always be used as cannon fodder."

He walked to the wall, pointed to the map of the Indochina Peninsula on the wall, and said: "Governor, now hurry up and mobilize the Vietnamese in Zhongqi and Nanqi, and let Van der Sar's Far Eastern Brigade and Annam Light Infantry Regiment immediately go north and deploy defenses in Dong Hai, at least not let Chinese directly kill Hue ......"

The governor said, "The Far Eastern Brigade has gone north, what about the defense of Hue? Since the Chinese has come in, those Vietnamese ministers are very restless now......

"Don't worry, there is still a Hue garrison in the city, as long as the Chinese do not come to Hue, they can't make trouble, they don't have the guts." Van Warrenhoven smiled contemptuously and said, "If you can't stop Chinese, everything will be said by the north......"

"Well, that's all there is to it now......"

No sooner had the Governor of Salo delivered the order than he received another piece of bad news.

"What? The Chinese fleet is shelling Cam Ranh Bay Battery?" Governor Salo slumped into his chair.

"The Far Eastern Fleet, their target is the Far Eastern Fleet battery, and the largest artillery is the 1884 Type O mm heavy cannon, which is not at all an opponent of the 3O mm cannon of the Chinese dreadnought," Van Warrenhoven was anxious. He used to be in the 6th Army, although he didn't know much about the Navy. But I still know some basic information, the maximum range of the 1884 O-mm heavy cannon is only 17 kilometers, which is not at all a level higher than the 3-kilometer 3-kilometer cannon above the Luoxi class.

He hurriedly asked, "What about mines? Doesn't their navy lay mines?"

"Jost, the Cam Ranh Bay base is mine-free...... Governor Salo said dejectedly. I didn't need mines before, so who would prepare them?
