The clams in the river fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.————“Quotations from Kongchen”
In the early morning, the sun quietly jumped out of the horizon, dispelling the haze of the night.
On the edge of the jungle in Gaoping County, an army is advancing rapidly. The soldiers hold rifles on their shoulders and advance quickly. Light and heavy machine guns are carried by the soldiers. The troops line up in a long queue. They are the first Hainan Army led by Jiang Tao.
Division officers and soldiers.
After occupying Gaoping County, he rushed here non-stop. The troops are now located less than five miles away from the 237 Highland battlefield, and the sound of gunfire in the distance can already be heard.
Just as the troops were marching, there was a sound of horse hooves in front of them. The soldiers on the horses were soldiers from the division's reconnaissance battalion.
After the soldier on horseback saw Jiang Tao again, he immediately turned over and dismounted, saluting: "Master! According to the investigation, a battle broke out in the French army camp in front, and the two sides were fighting fiercely!"
"What's going on? Is the 237 Highland position still in our hands?" Jiang Tao asked.
"Report to the division! There has been a rebellion among the Vietnamese soldiers in the French army camp and they are fighting with the French soldiers! Highland 237 is still in our hands!" the soldier immediately reported loudly.
After hearing this answer and knowing that the position was still in his own hands, Jiang Tao's heart suddenly fell to the ground. As long as the French army did not capture the air force airport, it would not have much impact on this battle.
"Everyone is here! Get ready to fight!"
Following the order, the soldiers at the forefront quickly dispersed and moved forward in a skirmish line, quickly reaching the vicinity of the French camp.
The fierce fighting in the French camp continued. The fighting lasted from midnight to dawn, making the soldiers on both sides exhausted.
"The damn 'yellow-skinned monkeys' dare to rebel! I'm going to kill them all! Get them all!" The French commander who narrowly escaped waved his command knife and cursed the French and Vietnamese native soldiers on the opposite side.
During the night of fierce fighting between the two sides, the French relied on their advantageous firepower and the support of mortar fire to compress the Vietnamese soldiers into a corner of the camp. It was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.
"Boom!" "Brothers, rush with me!!"
And just when he thought he had won, the horn of charge sounded behind him, and then he saw the Hainan Army jumping out from behind and filling the mountains and plains.
"Bang!" Seeing this scene, the French commander's face instantly turned pale, and the command knife in his hand fell with the sound.
His mind was in chaos, and he could not imagine that the Hainan Army would appear behind him and launch an attack at this critical moment.
When Ruan Wen on the other side saw the Hainan Army charging towards him, he really wanted to hold his men and cry loudly. Thank God, he finally came! If he hadn't come, they would all have died.
Because of the chaos last night, the defensive line of the French army's position had long existed in name only, and the troops were in chaos. Facing the Hainan Army's attack, there was no way to defend.
However, the Hainan Army soldiers, who were charging like wolves and tigers, charged forward. The French army did not even have the courage to resist. Soon some people dropped their guns and squatted, raising their hands in surrender.
Compared with the French, the Vietnamese soldiers were more direct and decisively raised the white flag. Squads and companies wanted the Hainanese army to surrender, and the speed was so fast that the Hainanese army officers and soldiers were ashamed.
Ruan Wen and others knew very well that if they fell into the hands of the French, they would definitely die without their bodies intact. In contrast, there might be a glimmer of hope for them if they surrendered to the Hainan Army.
And Ruan Wen is not stupid. He understands the role of his own people. The Hainan Army will need them as indigenous soldiers. On the French side, they have no place to stand, so they have no choice but to join the Hainan Army.
Niu Meng on the hill was completely relieved after seeing the Hainan Army's First Division. This four-day airport defense battle was about to end.
The rest of the Wolf Fang special operations soldiers couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. For four days, they were exhausted from the non-stop high-intensity combat, and they relied on their spirit to persist. Now that they stopped, they didn't even want to move their fingers.
.
This was the most difficult combat mission since the establishment of the Langya Special Forces, and the one with the heaviest losses. Almost all of the remaining soldiers were injured, more than thirty soldiers died heroically, and more than a dozen people were left with lifelong disabilities. Even if they were cured,
I can't continue to serve as a soldier after I recover.
Hainan Army First Division Headquarters.
"Report! Division commander, there was a French and Vietnamese officer who insisted on seeing you and said he had something very important to tell you!" the division guard reported to Jiang Tao.
"Vietnamese? Bring him in!" Jiang Tao was a little curious as to why the French army fought with its own men, so he took this opportunity to ask why.
Soon, Jiang Tao saw a Vietnamese man about 30 years old being brought in. He was not tall and had a dark and thin build. Perhaps because he had been in the army for many years, he looked very capable.
"Tell me! Why do you want to see me?" Jiang Tao asked in a calm tone.
"Sir! I specifically want you to surrender. I know the strategic arrangements of the French in many places! Our Vietnamese democracy very much hopes to get your support!" Ruan Wen bowed slightly and said with a low eyebrow. Of course, he said everything.
Is this nonsense? On behalf of the entire Vietnamese people? The entire Vietnamese people have never heard of his name.
Ruan Wen's inner uneasiness did not show up. He had been working under the hands of the French for many years, and he had already developed his mind and body and knew how to express his usefulness.
"Huh!?" Seeing Ruan Wen's performance, Jiang Tao slightly frowned and raised his eyebrows, but thought of another thing.
As one of Li Weidong's earliest confidants, he knew many important things, and this person appeared at the right time.
Before coming to the war, Li Weidong was very worried. Without an excuse to start the war, he would probably be at a disadvantage internationally. However, at that time, Li Weidong could no longer think about it anymore, and the Japanese navy was pressing hard, so he started the war in a hurry.
So far, this war has started for a week, and the international attention is focused on it. Without a perfect excuse, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"You did a good job! I believe that the general will be very happy to see you!" Jiang Tao made a pun without saying it explicitly, because the final decision on this matter still had to be made by Li Weidong.
"Go down with the order! Treat Battalion Commander Ruan and his men well!" Jiang Tao ordered the men around him.
Seeing Ruan Wen leaving with joy, Jiang Tao's face was calm and he immediately said to the telegraph operator: "Immediately, send a telegram to the headquarters! Report this matter in detail!"
"Yes! Master!" the telegraph operator stood at attention and saluted, and then the radio waves floated all the way from Gaoping County to Hongji.
Hainan Army Headquarters, Hongji County.
Adjutant Gao Yi came to Li Weidong with a document and said: "General! An urgent telegram from the First Division of the Hainan Army!"
"read!"
"First Division Headquarters Telegraph:
Our army arrived at Gaoping County on the night of October 7th and immediately captured Gaoping County. After a brief rest, our army immediately rushed to the aid of the Air Force Airport and wiped out all the enemy troops near Highland 237. The siege of the Air Force Base was lifted. In this battle, supplies were seized
Not counted. In addition to the killings, 765 French soldiers and 1,567 Vietnamese soldiers were captured, a total of 2,332 people...
Also! Our army has received a surrender from a Vietnamese officer and will be sent to Hong Gai County in two days.
This morning on October 8th!"
"Haha! Jiang Tao did a great job!" Li Weidong nodded slightly.
I was just about to doze off, but here comes the pillow!
