Chapter 16
"This is just a matter of smashing stones with eggs. Two regiments without artillery fire and air cover are fighting against the troops of the five divisions. I am really in a difficult life!"
In the sound of the raid alarm, Chen Bin led his staff to rush into the nearby air-raid shelter made of sandbags with psychological effects than actual protection.
While running, there was Sichuan dialect in the middle and inside.
In the sky, the old-fashioned "Penglei" attack aircraft appeared in the sky under the protection of fighter jets. From this point of view, it can be understood that the French had a special liking for the dive bombing that Tang Yunyang had used on the First World War.
Unfortunately, they did not have the air command and detailed reconnaissance of the Hawkeye airship. Some were just a few reconnaissance aircraft used to conduct artillery academy.
There are no new types of aircraft in the escort plane.
Under the opposition of the lawmakers to the war, the French government did not dare to increase military spending on a large scale to prevent domestic turmoil. They were very clear about the ability of the "Chinese Guild Hall" to cause trouble, so they were not willing to give them any handle.
However, this time, both China and France seem to have understood some intentions of each other. The war was limited to Vietnam by them, and even for the time being, it was not even involved at sea. Both sides and domestic media did not fully report the war, and it seemed that it was intended that everyone think that this was just a kind of skirmish that occurred between the two superpowers.
Therefore, the poor French pilots have not received any new models except using old aircraft in the warehouse. Moreover, the "Iron Wing Award" set up by Tang Yunyang has made Qindao a huge stage for aircraft designers to show their talents.
In the sky, the small city seemed to be just a chessboard. The French pilots in the sky looked at the surrounding sky with some concern and fear, and they knew that if the Chinese Federation's flying team appeared here, it would be a real disaster for them.
In fact, this worry is completely a redundant idea. For the time being, the Chinese Federation has not planned to scare them back. Because, let alone the Meteor medium bomber, even the "Sabernail ABZ" fighter has not even appeared on the battlefield in Vietnam.
As for the reasons, neither the Chinese federal government nor the military came out to explain this matter. The famous media gurus were left to argue with each other.
"It seems that the Chinese Federation is planning to engage in a 'limited war'. Although their resource routes are threatened to some extent, they are not enough to mobilize all Chinese troops to participate in the war. A war of such a scale is probably not willing to see and experience it, both France, Britain, the United States and the Chinese Federation themselves."
This is what the outside world thinks about the current strange war.
Two aircraft carrier battle groups in the waters near Irian Island, while another aircraft carrier battle group disappeared into the vast Pacific Ocean. At this time, no ship from a certain country discovered his whereabouts.
This is because the "Ghost Captain" Earl Lukner is using his "invisibility technique" again, which is easy to do with the help of the "Hawkeye" airship in the air. It is only estimated that when he eats every night, the captain and ladies on the table have more, making it easy to pass the time he floats on the sea.
As for the victory or defeat of the Vietnam War, it has nothing to do with the Vietnamese national liberation. This is just a war game played by two superpowers here, and the purpose is to determine the future resource allocation in Southeast Asia.
So, it will be a limited war and no one wants to see it over-expand.
The French pilots flying in the sky may not know this. They just thought that today's luck was surprisingly good. As for Chen Bin on the ground, as the commander of the main division of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces, he knew the policies of the federal government very clearly.
And he also understood that from the beginning of Li Shizeng to the present, Mike Lang's restraint was just a big trap. In the end, Western countries would realize that although Tang Yunyang was gone, the "problem bandit's mantle has been completely inherited by a bad wolf.
The "Ben Lei" attack aircraft dived from the sky, and then the bomb made a harsh roar and landed in the city, where camouflage nets were laid.
The dullness of the "Ben Lei" attack aircraft in the air was also heard clearly in the cabin of the closed "Thunder" attack aircraft, and the rising airflow also made the rapidly climbing plane shaking left and right.
The French pilot was very happy in his heart while sitting in the "crying" plane.
First, they completed the legendary mission.
Second, they completed the legendary mission alive.
On the battlefield, being happy is a short and extremely easy thing. Even a pair of socks can relax the tense nerves in the war, or a grin opens your mouth and reveals an ugly smile.
Chen Bin looked like this. His face that made the war blackened was like the bottom of a pot. When he smiled, in addition to his pretty rosy lips and white teeth, he made his eyes more like a living ghost.
"Oh my god, your kid is waiting to go. The days are as beautiful as you!"
Lying in the fortifications made of sandbags with the top cover removed, he shouted loudly into the sky. His ears were almost deafened by the bombs, and he didn't know that his own screams were even worse than donkeys.
Soon, casualties were reported to Chen Bin from officers at all levels.
"8 dead and 15 injured, Ge, what happened!"
Chen Bin grinned with complaints. In fact, facing the cover bombing of nearly 100 aircraft, this is already a pretty good result.
Those camouflage nets that were torn apart by bombs or flipped into the sky actually had nothing. Instead, those bombs that missed the target caused the casualties as above.
Air defense is a perfect thing for an army that started with air power.
The French army outside the city had already begun to establish relatively complete field fortifications. Since they regarded this as a city where the "Vietnam Minjie" gathered heavily, they took great care and attention when dealing with this place.
The French army's front line was slowly wriggling in front of a small city like a long snake winding on the ground, stretching to both sides. The infantry of Indian and French foreign corps began to enter these positions composed of field fortifications.
They knew that facing the weird guerrilla warfare of the "Vietnam Civil Affairs" trained by the Chinese Federation was just a kind of attack method. According to the analysis of the French colonial staff, these guys must have some offensive tricks.
Of course, the "Vietnam Minli" guerrilla brigade has not seen any other weapons and equipment so far except for those 107mm rocket launchers with excellent mobility.
Through understanding of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces, the General Staff of the Colonial Army believed that the "Vietnam Civil Affairs" would definitely have a considerable amount of heavy firepower. The reason why it has not appeared until now is that these heavy firepowers are just defensive means.
This is why French soldiers built fortifications here.

The entire small town stood alone in the thick smoke. There was no shooting, no alarm, no anger, as if it had completely become a city of death.
The more the French infantry moved forward, the more hesitated, especially those veterans who had experienced the battlefield. They felt a sense of dullness.
This dullness is like the sound of oppressed people who can't help but scream before the thunderstorm.
Sweat drifted from the heads of the soldiers walking slowly, their legs had begun to bend, and their sensitive eyes were aimed at every place that seemed safe. Hopefully, they could hide there when the other party attacked.
The deadly silence made everyone feel an unspeakable pressure, especially those French soldiers who had been on the battlefield of World War I, especially those who had joined forces with the "Thunder International" to resist the German invasion.
The comrades who once fought side by side are now at both ends of the front line.
While the advancement French soldier's heart was "beat" in his heart, this feeling grabbed his heart tightly.
The hidden sniper in the city also looked at his compatriots in the scope and sighed in his heart.
"International politics is really a bunch of stinky shit! Alas, I said, are those politicians sick? France is so far away and always provokes our federal government. Is their equality and fraternity just for the sake of this?"
The sniper whispered in a low voice. Maybe at this time he forgot that the language he liked to use for swearing was elegant French. Under his steel helmet, there was also a "straw" full of his head, and it would scare the green eyes of Chinese girls.
He likes to talk, probably this is the problem of the Federal Defense Forces sniper. Everyone should still remember the talking sniper soldier. His name is Shen Billy, who was once an Australian infantryman.
Later, when injured in the military hospital, he was abducted by Tang Yunyang to Thunder International. For this small request, Sir Heg, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, gave Tang Yunyang a very good face.
It was him, a sniper on the front line of World War I. After entering the Whampoa Military Academy because of his excellent grades, he became a sniper in the Federal Defense Forces, a godfather-like existence.
His habit of speaking was almost fully inherited by the students he taught.
The sniper's deputy - observers have become some pitiful existences. While their eyes are busy observing everything at a distance, they must always protect the sniper.
What makes the observers most hateful is that these snipers have a problem and there is too much nonsense.
