It is not a good thing for the helicopter to be exposed in advance, but the fact is exactly the opposite.
Yamamoto Isoroku had already decided on the exact date for a combined land and water attack to launch a landing campaign in Vietnam, but Yashiro Yukichi suddenly called and reported that he had discovered a new type of fighter plane in the Gakuin Army, which could hover in the air and provide ground troops with Fire support is equivalent to a tank and combat vehicle with the ability to fly. He hesitated to postpone the attack date.
"You can't fight an uncertain battle. Before launching an attack, you must understand the exact parameters of the new fighter aircraft of the Gakuin Army." He told Soma Masafumi, intending to wait until Koizumi Toshiichiro arrived before making a decision.
This wait lasted more than half a month.
During this period, because the French Far East Fleet returned to the Far East, the situation in the Indochina Federation suddenly became strange. The French Far East Fleet, under the command of Far East Navy Commander Jean Degoux, returned to the North Atlantic in March last year, originally to support The mainland resisted the German invasion. However, with the defeat and surrender of France and the establishment of the Vichy government, in order to avoid getting involved in the disputes that threatened the government and Free France, and at the same time, he was also worried about being hunted by German submarines, so he self-righteously entered the Caribbean, and then in It has been shrinking there for more than half a year.
The Far East Fleet suddenly lost news, and the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army of the Indochina Federation, Martin, lost news after returning home. Only then did Angpos, Roland and others have the opportunity to stand out. The Xuebing Army entered the Indochina Federation and began "cruel suppression" "The French plantation owner, this news was widely reported by the British and Japanese media, and reached the ears of Degou. Under the instigation of the British, Degou was determined to save his own people from water and fire, so he led a fleet through the South Atlantic and entered the Indian Ocean. After the French Far East Fleet docked at the British dock in the Bay of Bengal, Degu first went to Pondicherry in French India. After meeting with Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army Wavell there, he took a plane provided by the British and landed in Kengtung, Myanmar. After landing, he immediately rushed to Hanoi under the escort of a regiment of British troops, preparing to persuade Ang Bos and other army generals to let them tear up the agreement reached with the cadet army and cooperate seamlessly with the British army to expel the cadet army to resist the Japanese army in order to protect The rights and interests of the French Indochina Federation,
Regardless of his seniority and strength, after Martin, Degoudou was the first person in the French army of the Indochina Federation. Wavell was also ill and sought medical treatment. When his own Far East Navy was weak, he hoped to use the French Far East Fleet to regain peace with Japan. The Western Expedition Fleet's ability to challenge was the reason why it was able to encourage Degu to move eastward, hoping that it could use its prestige to regain control of the Indochina Federation without any bloodshed, and then reshape the British-French military alliance.
When planning the "Great Retreat to Singapore", Wavell underestimated the power of the cadet army and was defeated. In the three-party struggle between China, Japan and Britain, Britain became the unluckiest one. This time, he He made thorough preparations in advance and realized that the Xuebing Army might have fully taken control of the French Army of the Indochina Federation after suppressing the French planters. He asked his most elite "Gomande" to accompany Degu. Burma, in Keng Tung, Burma, and a regiment of British troops waiting here dressed as Tak Ku's escort troops, followed him into the Indochina Federation,
The English meaning of "Gomand" is commando, which is another name for the British special forces. Tracing back to its origin, "Gomand" originally came from the British army's name for a small group of Boers who were good at conducting raids during the Boer War. The British Army The creation of the "Gomande" was not long ago. There were only two platoon-sized "Gomande" under Wavell's command. In order to help Degu regain control of the Indochina Federation, he spent a lot of money and established it all at once. A platoon was sent out,
The British made this series of arrangements in secret. In order to keep it secret, they did not even let Degu know that "Gomande" was involved in this operation.
Wavell underestimated the ability of the intelligence department of the Xuebing Army. He thought that the matter was unnoticed. However, he did not know that more than a thousand "French troops" escorted more than ten French talents into Muang Sin, the northernmost city in Laos. The intelligence personnel of the army detected it, and they had just arrived at Sangnu. Ouyang Yun's opinions and methods on how to deal with the matter had already reached Huang Haifu's desk.
So, when Duc Gu led more than a thousand "French troops" and was still fifty kilometers away from Hanoi, a scene that shocked him extremely appeared. One after another fighter planes flew from the east and circled at low altitude several times above their heads. After that, they formed a formation and "escorted" them along the way until Ang Bos's supporting army met them, and then Shi Shiran left.
This is not over yet. There are still ten miles away from Hanoi City. A huge mechanized force rumbled over from the opposite side of them. Tanks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, self-propelled artillery, military trucks... And when this force came over, they greeted them. The French army actually ordered the car to drive to the side of the road and let the other party pass first.
Looking at the tanks passing by and the unswerving, majestic young soldiers wearing pen and gun cap badges on the military cards, Degou couldn't help it any longer and asked the top commander of the French army who came to greet them. Brigadier: "They are the Chinese cadet army."
The brigade commander did not hide his envy and said: "Yes, General, what do you think? Isn't he very tough?"
Degu gently exhaled the breath he was holding in his chest and said: "When did the Chinese army have such advanced equipment?"
The brigade commander thought about it seriously and replied: "I can't answer this question, but according to them, it should have happened two years ago."
"Two years ago." Degu and the British commander, a major general whose military rank was hidden, looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"The reports are wrong. Haven't they always said that the Chinese are seriously lacking in advanced equipment and they still don't have their own automobile factory? But according to my observation, their tanks are even comparable to those of the Germans." De Ancient Road, frowning, seriously lacking confidence in whether this trip can make any achievements,
The British were always brooding over the failure of the "Singapore Great Retreat". Wavell always wanted to win back the victory, so he asked one of his major general staff officers to dress up as a colonel and lead a regiment dressed as French troops to escort De Gu into Indochina. The Federation was only willing to use the "Gomande", but they never expected that the reason why they would encounter such high-level courtesy was because Ouyang Yun had his eyes on the French Far East Fleet.
Although the French Far East Fleet is almost nothing compared to the Japanese Expeditionary Fleet, it does contain two battleships. Battleships, a powerful weapon in World War I, seem to have lost their former glory and majesty, but if they are used As for the ocean landing battle, it is still the best fire support platform. Why does Ouyang Yun spend so much effort? In the final analysis, it is to attack the Japanese mainland. For efficiency reasons, he will never build another battleship, but this does not prevent him from thinking about it. Taking the battleships of other countries as their own, looking at the intelligence agencies of various countries, Hu Tong's qualifications are still relatively young, so until the French Far East Fleet showed up, it has not been able to detect relevant information. Now, since Degu himself came to the door , if Xuebingjun doesn’t accept it, he would be so sorry for the “brutal” reputation Guo Muyi earned at the expense of his image.
Shocks came one after another, and when entering Hanoi City, there were still...
In the temporary military camp prepared by Ampos for De Gu and his party, De Gu and others saw a group of French officers and soldiers actually training under the guidance of the cadets. Those Gallic roosters who were usually so arrogant that they wished they could put a comb on their heads, actually Those trainees with the rank of lieutenant were able to curse and fight with fists and kicks without fighting back. They were completely dumbfounded, and they didn't wake up until the drool dripping from their wide-open mouths wet their clothes. come over,
