1949 I am from the future

【397】Three stocks wiped out

It has to be said that the two telegrams, especially the chairman's telegram, gave Uncle Ho great confidence.

General Chen took the chairman's telegram and informed the commanders at all levels of the military advisory group: "Comrades, work hard! No battle approved by Chairman M is invincible!"

Ho Chi Minh made a decision on the spot and shouted the slogan of "decisive battle and decisive victory".

"Immediately launch a general offensive! Take down the besieged Colonel Leba's troops at all costs!" Ho Chi Minh sent a message to each of the troops.

Ho Chi Minh's telegram was transmitted to various command units, and even Chairman M sent a telegram to support the annihilation of the enemy in Shegu.Looking at the portrait of Chairman M for a long time, the morale of the Vietnamese army, which worshiped the leader of the Asian Labor Party, was suddenly boosted.

Against starvation, fatigue, and casualties, the Viet Minh troops finally held their ground.

The time for the total attack has finally arrived!

The Viet Minh troops gathered all the light and heavy machine guns and ammunition, and flooded towards Colonel Leba's position in Shegu.

Seeing fighting on all sides, Colonel Lebas's staff officer, Major Wanger, could hold his ground no longer: "Colonel! There are Vietnamese everywhere! They are rushing out of all the woods we can see! We They must be pushed back at all costs!"

Colonel Leba held a Sten submachine gun and shouted hoarsely: "Don't worry about those sons of bitches! Retreat! Retreat! We must retreat to Qixi! Otherwise, we will all die in this son of a bitch valley!"

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

For those who have never been on the battlefield, it is difficult to understand why everything is so different from the rigorous battle examples in the textbook on that complicated battlefield that is constantly stirred up like a dough.When the smoke of gunpowder begins to fill the air, the process of actual combat begins to become disordered and chaotic. The enemy's reaction always makes inexperienced commanders at a loss.Even seasoned commanders can be exhausted by the drag.

The art of war requires the richest imagination, but more importantly, the most resolute character as a foundation.The endless battlefield changes constantly squeeze the correct judgment and determination of the commander.

As a result, the Vietnamese army, which lacked the basic qualities of large-scale combat, was about to lose the chain again.

The cadres of the 308th Division reported to Vo Nguyen Giap that the French army was fighting and retreating, and began to break out from the dense forest surrounded by weak troops.

So Vo Nguyen Giap...actually ordered the 308th Division to suspend the pursuit!Stand by!

Vo Nguyen Giap reported to Chen Geng through the field telephone line just connected: "We have been fighting for almost 4 days! The soldiers are very tired, and it seems that they cannot wipe out the enemy. Should we withdraw the troops? I have ordered the 308th Division Stop chasing the enemy's breakout troops and stand by in the original encirclement position.

Chen Geng was furious: "If this kind of battle is not fought again! There will be no battle to fight!"

General Chen is a typical Confucian general, but even clay figurines still have earthy temperament.He showed an excitement rarely seen in many years, and shouted on the phone: "If this kind of battle is not fought, I will pack up and leave!"

Perhaps aware of his excitement, General Chen tried his best to regulate his breathing, and said restrainedly: "Vo Nguyen Giap, at such a critical moment, if the headquarters wavers, it will ruin the great opportunity to win the battle!"

After finishing speaking, General Chen hung up the phone heavily with a bang.

After much deliberation, General Chen was still not sure whether Vo Nguyen Giap would continue to fight to the end. As a last resort, he had to send another telegram to Ho Chi Minh.

Upon hearing the news, Ho Chi Minh immediately demanded that Vo Nguyen Giap's 308th Division should not rest for a moment, and continued to catch up, encircling and encroaching on the French breakout troops!

In the headquarters, General Chen kept in touch with our military advisers in the front to inquire about the current situation of the Vietnamese army.

Wang Yanquan, an adviser to the 308th Division, replied: "It can fight! The casualties of the 308th Division are not large, only more than 300 people. At present, it is mainly due to fatigue. There are also complaints from the student cadres that the fighting style is not correct, and they keep complaining about suffering and tiredness. The soldiers are Very brave and tenacious."

Zhang Zhishan, an adviser to the 174th regiment who had just wiped out the 174st Paratrooper Battalion of the Foreign Legion, reported: "It can fight, and the [-]th regiment can go into battle at any time."

Hao Shizhong, an adviser to the 209th regiment, reported: "It's not a problem at all, we can continue fighting."

After General Chen heard this, there was no smile on his face, because he realized how serious the current problem of the Vietnamese army is. This is a problem deep in the soul and a problem of style!

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

Colonel Leba led the exhausted judges and fled along the narrow path in the narrow valley.

The French army in the dense forest nearby could hear gunshots everywhere, and from time to time, Vietminh troops rushed into the trail over the mountain, encircling and attacking the fleeing French army.

By the early morning of the next day, the Bayard battle group led by Colonel Lebas was finally completely wiped out, and Colonel Lebas himself was captured.

Hearing the victory news one by one, General Chen was not moved by the victory in front of him, and quickly ordered the transfer of troops to launch a siege against Colonel Sakdong's southward troops.

Colonel Sakdon fought from entering the mountain. He was harassed and delayed all the way. He never got close to Colonel Leba's "Bayard Combat Group". In the dense forest on the ground.When the eastern part of Sac had just joined up with hundreds of remnants of the "Bayard Battle Group", it was attacked by the Vietnamese army chasing after the rout all the way, with high morale.

Colonel Sakdon went all the way south to middle school, lived and slept in the dense forest, suffering unspeakably, being raided and harassed by the militia endlessly every day, he was already exhausted at the moment.Now, after a burst of onslaught by the Vietnamese army who was attacking by victory, it suddenly collapsed.

Colonel Sakdon had no choice but to order that the entire army be dispersed into platoon-level squads to break out of the encirclement, with only one goal - "withdraw to Qixi".

The result was even more miserable. When such a headless army went into the deep mountains and dense forests and fought for a day and a night, Colonel Sakdon was captured alive!

Upon hearing the news that the Lebas Army and the Sakdon Army had been wiped out successively, Admiral Revos, the commander-in-chief of the French Indochina Expeditionary Force, almost passed out in the Hanoi headquarters.

The next person who was hit in the head was the colonel who led 800 French troops from Qixi to the north for reinforcements.

The morale of the Vietnamese army, which came with a series of victories, has reached a boiling point at the moment. After driving more than 200 remnants who fled to Qixi and the 800 reinforcements of the colonel, they used General Chen's brown sugar Surrounded tightly by tactics, and then launched a full-scale assault on the frightened lone army like peeling onions.

After several consecutive victories over the past few days, when the Vietnamese army was elated, it also truly understood what is the art of command and what is a great tactic.From the top to the bottom of the Vietnamese army, everyone praised the Chinese general Chen Geng's brown sugar tactics, even though many of them had never eaten brown sugar...

The colonel's lone army, together with the exhausted remnants, could not resist for a day, and were wiped out on Route [-] and the surrounding forests.

When the news was sent back to the headquarters, General Chen looked at the battle report, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and ordered like pushing dominoes: "The French army's troops in Vietnam have been completely lost, and they can no longer maintain the defense line on Highway [-]!

I ordered all the troops to go south along the No. [-] highway, set up ambushes on the escape routes of the Qixi, Tongdeng, Liangshan, and Mongcai strongholds, and lay ambushes layer by layer. The French army fled and gathered in the area. "

The guard was less than adored and shouted: "Yes! Chief!"
