[396] Brown Sugar Tactics

General Chen stood on the bamboo hat mountain, observing the distant battlefield with binoculars.

Not long after, General Chen smiled and said to General Wei Guoqing beside him: "The Vietnamese army and the Fadi are really a pair of excellent opponents. They are all pretending to be beaten, hoping to get a higher exchange ratio by sticking to it."

General Wei shook his head and said: "Compared with the French army, the Vietnamese army relied on a group of students and led a group of hard-born soldiers from the bourgeoisie. The French army relied on a group of World War II veterans and brought a group of immature African recruits. One is a sheep leading a pack of wolves, and the other is a tiger leading a rabbit, so they are naturally comparable."

General Wei grumbled: "Let's not talk about military affairs on paper. Many of these Vietnamese student cadres can't even do it on paper! They lack the most basic combat knowledge. Two days ago, Xiao Liao, who went to the 209th regiment, reported to me that, The company-level cadres in the regiment saw the empty cans in the field when they moved, and they didn’t know to be alert. They didn’t understand that this was the trace of the French scouts. They didn’t bring troops up, and hid behind after giving the order.”

General Chen sighed and said, "The slowness and inactivity of the Vietnamese troops are beyond my expectations. Therefore, every battle will almost form a stalemate. If the Vietnamese side's combat effectiveness is improved by one step, the French Emperor will be expelled." !

For the National Youth League, it has become a top priority to help improve the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese side.As for now, the only way to do it is to rely on the candy tactics. "

........................

The so-called brown candy tactic is a tactic tailored and created by General Chen racking his brains for the large number of Vietnamese troops with poor combat capabilities. [

To sum it up in General Chen's words: "Catch up with the fastest speed, surround the enemy layer by layer, entangle the enemy tightly, and consume the enemy piecemeal. If the enemy wants to break through the encirclement by maneuvering, he should block layer by layer, and rush forward one by one. Assault, not to let the enemy breathe."

In this way, even if the French army was lucky enough to escape from the siege, after such layers of killing and wounding, they would have lost all their casualties.

In this way, the battle continued from July 21th to July 174st. The western half of the Bayard battle group, the 209st Paratrooper Battalion of the Foreign Legion, had been surrounded and wiped out by the 308th and [-]th regiments.The main breakout force of the two Moroccan battalions located in Shegu in the eastern half has also been crumbling and almost collapsed under the siege and consumption of the [-]th Division.

In the past few days, although the French army knew that the Vietnamese army had mysterious anti-aircraft rockets, they still insisted on dispatching planes every day.Of course, there are bad news of being shot down every day.

In three days, after being shot down 5 by the Hongying-41, the pilots of the French army were terrified and did not dare to perform ground dive bombing missions at all.He didn't even dare to fly at low altitude to sweep the ground, so he could only drop the iron bombs indiscriminately at high altitude, and then hurried back to the voyage with his tail between his legs.

Facing the unfavorable situation of the besieged army, Admiral Leivos felt very worried, and as a last resort, he ordered the 705 French troops of the 800th Infantry Battalion who were staying at Qixi, led by Colonel Naben, to go to the besieged Besieged Colonel Lebas. The Yade battle group came for reinforcements, leaving only more than 900 Baoda puppet troops stationed in Qixi.

Lei Vos also ordered that Colonel Sakdong, who broke out from the northern Gaoping City, led two battalions of 1600 people and 1000 Baoda puppet troops, to go south desperately and approach the besieged Bayard battle group, hoping to be able to Form a situation where the upper, middle, lower, and three forces converge in order to successfully break through.

........................

It is said that as soon as the Sakdong Army came out of Gaoping, it was targeted by the militia troops in charge of besieging Gaoping. On the way of the Sakdong Army's breakthrough, the Vietnamese army surged up one after another, facing Sakdong who was trekking hard on the valley road. The Eastern Army Corps launched harassment again and again, cold shots, and ambushes.The rain of grenades never stopped even for a moment, and the landmines just sent from China were also used, blooming everywhere.The Vietnamese army is like a swarm of mosquitoes in a tropical jungle, and the nailed French army is covered in bags.This made Colonel Sakdon's southward troops bleed every step they took.

Colonel Sakdon gritted his teeth and ruthlessly abandoned more than 500 pro-French Christians brought out from Gaoping.

But Sakdon couldn't care about these minions at this time. As in history, he ordered to set fire to more than 50 vehicles and more than a dozen cannons brought out from Gaoping, and led the army into the deep mountains and left. Highway [-].In the view of Colonel Sakdon, it seems safer to go through the forest and cross the ravine than the mountain road full of ambushes and mines...

Now, he couldn't walk any faster.

Things are going great...

But at this moment, Brother Wen, the teacher, started his third drop!

He sent a telegram to tell General Chen that considering that the two French troops going south and north were about to join Colonel Lebas' Bayard battle group, and that the Vietnamese army could not take down Colonel Lebas' besieged troops for a while, he The request is to accept as soon as it is ready, to end the battle, and to start retreating, and also attaches the opinions of several major generals of the Viet Minh Armed Forces that he previously entrusted. [

In short, one sentence sums up Brother Wen's meaning, that is: "I can't move anymore, I have to retreat."

General Chen Nai had no choice but to send a telegram to Ho Chi Minh, asking him to stabilize the various troops.

Ho Chi Minh looked at the telegram in his hand: "...At present, the enemy army has become a battle of besieged beasts, at the end of its strength. As long as we persevere, victory is inevitable. We must not tolerate the rightist surrender in the current army! We must continue to mobilize the troops to overcome difficulties. , completely crushing the opponent in terms of offensive momentum... To learn from the heroism of the Korean People's Army, the French army is obviously inferior to the American army, but are the Vietnamese people far less heroic than the Korean people?"

Ho Chi Minh thought about it, and felt that if he retreated at this moment, wouldn't he lose everything?And become an international laughing stock!The base area has been wiped out by the French. If we don't wipe out the vitality of the French army, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fight this battle?

Although I have never seen such a big scene in my life, isn't there still Chen Geng in charge?

Immediately after General Chen's telegram, a telegram from the "Chairman" in the northern capital also came.

"...First concentrate the main force to wipe out the enemies surrounded by me in the southwest of Dongxi, and then encircle and wipe out the enemies fleeing south from Gaoping according to the situation. This plan is correct. If the enemies in the southwest of Dongxi can be wiped out within a few days, Gaoping The enemy was captured again, and the enemy in Lang Son and other places did not come to help, or even though they sent help, our army was able to separate part of it to block it, so that it could not hinder our army's operations against Dongxi and Gaoping. Then you Two victories are possible.

Therefore, except for the enemy in the southwest of Dongxi, which must be wiped out quickly, resolutely, and thoroughly, even if the casualties are large, don't be shy or waver (we must estimate that this may happen among the cadres).In addition, the fleeing enemy in Gaoping must be seized and prevented from escaping.It is also necessary to make arrangements for the enemies who may send aid in Lang Son and other places.As long as the above three points are handled properly, victory will be yours. "

The "Chairman" and General Chen have the same opinion!
