Chapter 1476 Whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world
Chapter 1476 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
The battle is getting more intense!
Taking advantage of the brief confusion caused by the enemy's appearance, the officers and soldiers of the Second Infantry Regiment of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division ran dexterously on the mountainside with extremely rugged roads, armed with automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, and fired fiercely at their opponents.
, the enemy was beaten to screams and suffered heavy casualties.
The enemy just woke up from a dream and kept throwing grenades down the hillside and fired with light and heavy machine guns in return.
During the charge, PLA soldiers continued to fall, but the rest were not afraid and still ran from one cover to another and fired back at the enemy positions above.
Under the illumination of rising flares in the sky, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was extremely rapid, and the enemy's firepower was fierce. However, the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers still bravely rushed forward, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters...
...quickly approach the enemy's position!
The battle was extremely cruel. The People's Liberation Army attacked from bottom to top, which was very disadvantageous. However, their rigorously trained military quality and strong physique played a huge role at this time. Generally, the enemy could not hit even after dozens of shots, but often the People's Liberation Army
A soldier who fires back while running will kill an Annan Army soldier.
The strength waxed and waned. At the same time, I saw a steady stream of infantry crossing the Red River at the same place. At the same time, the pontoon bridge that the pontoon troops had erected had taken initial shape. Further north, on the Chinese land, tens of thousands of soldiers followed.
Behind the tanks and armored fighting vehicles, they are converging on the railway bridge and highway bridge. Under fear, the morale of the military will inevitably be shaken.
In the process of charging upward from the mountainside, the People's Liberation Army's rocket launchers continued to exert powerful power. Rockets continued to destroy the enemy's machine gun positions, and the Annan Army's will to resist further weakened.
At the critical moment, the opponent's commander sent out only a few sharpshooters. When the PLA soldiers approached to more than 100 meters, they knocked down five or six soldiers one after another. Fortunately, the PLA's mid-shift platoon level was equipped with specialized snipers.
Immediately retaliate, allowing the offensive momentum to continue.
Finally, the PLA officers and soldiers rushed into the enemy's position, and a brutal and short close-quarters battle ensued. Anjiajun's close-combat weapons, automatic rifles, submachine guns and pistols, played a huge role. The enemy suffered heavy losses and lost all morale. Finally,
Amidst the slogans of "Hand in your guns and don't kill", our soldiers raised their hands helplessly.
The enemy's main position fell, and the entire defense line immediately collapsed. The 5th and 6th regiments of the 1st Infantry Division quickly moved forward, crossed the Red River again south of Laokai City, and attacked the Annan Army located on the right side of the Red River.
The Annan Army was shocked by the powerful lineup of the Chinese army, and with their retreat route cut off, their troops had no fighting spirit, so they organically chose to surrender.
As the red flag was planted on the two highest peaks on the southeast and southwest banks of the Red River, the soldiers of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, who were leading the attack mission, let out thunderous cheers, and then this huge cheer swept across both sides of the Red River.
.
At this time, the two bridges across the Red River had been basically cleared. Leopard and Wolf tanks and a large number of armored vehicles drove across the highway bridge and officially set foot on the land of Annan. A large number of infantry came through the railway bridge.
Arrive at the south bank of the Red River. On the pontoon below, a fleet of trucks, tankers, and maintenance vehicles with a load of two tons, four tons, and six tons are also constantly crossing the bridge according to the plan, and picking up according to their respective preparations.
After the infantry, the Thousand Miles Raid operation began.
On the other side, the clearance work of the two bridges on the Nanxi River has also begun. It is expected to be opened to traffic in one hour. By then, the speed of troops crossing the border will increase again.
"Finally won! It's not easy!"
Xia Jian put down the telescope, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was just 11:49 in the night, and it was not easy to complete the task ten minutes early.
Gu Changfeng nodded: "We are fully prepared and have considered all kinds of difficulties. Victory is certain, but it will only happen sooner or later. However, the tenacity of the Annan Army still reminded us that any behavior that underestimates the opponent is unacceptable.
Different from committing suicide, now that I think about it, the second set of combat plans formulated by the General Staff may be better. While implementing the feint crossing of the Red River, they will send the main force to cross the river from the Nanxi River to defeat the relatively easy Nanxi River line and break through the opponent's defense line.
, surround the Annan Army's rear flank through the bridge on the lower reaches of the Red River, reach up from the hillside behind it, and deal with the opponent from behind the tunnel, then the Annan Army's carefully set up artillery positions will be unable to be used!"
Xia Jian suddenly smiled: "Over the years, our equipment has been updated with each passing day, and new weapons have emerged one after another. In addition, we have won consecutive battles, and I think I am the best in the world. With this wake-up call, it is convenient for us to sum up our experience and lessons, and defeat the new leaders in the army.
The thought of underestimating the enemy is that our battlefield will not only be Annan in the future. From this point of view, the effort this time is still worth it."
Gu Changfeng rubbed his face and walked side by side with Xia Jian who turned and left the lookout:
"The next step is to see the results of the construction of our motorized rapid reaction force. A long-distance attack of 200 to 300 kilometers within 12 hours was unimaginable before. Speaking of which, we have to thank the French
, they have done a lot of good things in recent years. They have built railways and roads on both sides of the Red River. The standards of the roads are quite high... On the way to Hanoi, there were not many Annan troops and French troops.
The towns along the way should be able to move south easily. The only thing we worry about is the attitude of the people towards us. If there are road blockades, protests and other incidents, things will not end well."
Xia Jian looked confident: "Mass work is the strength of our Anjia Army. The French have enslaved Annan for many years, and the people are indifferent. How dare they come out to stir up trouble before the situation is clear? As long as the Democracy Movement Corps arrives, all problems can be easily solved."
I heard the boss say that most of the land in Annan is controlled by the French colonial government of Annam. Most farmers rent land from the colonial government. In addition to paying rent, they also have to pay land tax, head tax, water conservancy tax, etc. People
Life is miserable. The remaining big landowners are all speculators who have great public anger and are not favored by Annan's political parties. They are what we call local tyrants and evil gentry in our country. We just use them to win people's hearts.
"As long as we divide the land and establish agricultural cooperatives that provide low-interest loans, seeds, and agricultural tools, the hearts and minds of the Annan people will be in our hands. The people will only believe in what they see in front of them and what they have already received. In order to protect them
Everything you have must come with us, otherwise the French will come back and it will be too late to cry!"
"Yes! Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Except for the Chinese, 90% of the population in Annan are farmers. In other words, those who win the hearts and minds of the farmers win the world. After the new government is established, it will not only grant land based on family population, but also agriculture
The cooperative can also rent farming and production tools, and will later open chicken farms, pig farms, fish farms, etc. to help farmers live a prosperous life. Although farmers are uneducated, they know how to be grateful. As long as we have the support of Annan farmers
, we finally get this land."
Gu Changfeng also discussed this issue with An Yi specifically, so he was very impressed: "The boss still sees the long term and knows that interests are the key factor that determines everything. Farmers get land, and in order to protect their vested interests, they can only follow us."
At the same time, when the time comes, the new government will establish political power at the village level, station cadres in the villages, and then establish a complete education system of primary schools, middle schools, and universities, and instill in children the concept of "I am a Chinese and I love this country" from an early age, and they will live for more than ten years.
Years later, no one will be able to snatch this iron-barrel-like country from our hands!"
Walking out of the headquarters, Xia Jian saw the grand scene of the mighty army crossing the river at the foot of the mountain, and sighed: "It's worth following the boss in this life. Being able to go abroad and regain the lost territory for the country and the nation, there is nothing more glorious than this."
It's over, what I'm most worried about now is lack of ability and holding back the boss... By the way, Hutou, what do you think of Haiphong Port? Are there any surprises?"
Gu Changfeng nodded vigorously: "Yes, of course! Do you remember that after leading the troops into southern Yunnan, we went to visit Uncle Dao in Anxin City? He said that now our luck and destiny are in our hands, we only need to follow the boss firmly
If you keep walking unswervingly, you will surely turn bad luck into good fortune and achieve eternal fame. I have no doubt about this!"
Xia Jian patted his forehead, with an excited look on his face: "Haha, I remembered what you said, it seems I don't have to worry about tomorrow... Let's go, it's almost time, I can't say for certain
There will be sporadic fighting along the way, we have to hurry up..."
...
Haiphong is the largest port city on the northern coast of Annan and the export port of the Tokyo area. It is located at the northeast end of the Red River Delta, downstream of the Kyongtai River, and faces the Beibu Gulf. More than sixty years ago, it was just a village with dozens of families living here.
A small fishing village. In the 1970s, the Nguyen Dynasty built docks, set up shops, and military depots here to perform seaside defense, so it was called "Haifang" for short. Later, France forced the Nguyen Dynasty to allow them to station troops in Haiphong, expand the port, and develop
resources, using coastal defense as the main base for plundering wealth and suppressing people's resistance to the law.
After so many years of development, especially after the completion of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Haiphong has become the terminal station for railway transportation from Kunming, China to Hanoi. Business has become increasingly developed, attracting businesses from all over the world. Among them, the Frenchman Leonardo opened his business during the economic crisis.
The French Chamber of Commerce, because of its honorary status as a knight in the last European War and French-owned background, is deeply loved by the officials of the French Annan Coast Defense colonial government and the naval officers and soldiers stationed in Haiphong Port.
Leonardo opened a trading house, bank, hospital, cinema, and engaged in real estate investment business in Haiphong Port. However, his most outstanding thing was running a nightclub called "Paris Entertainment World".
, dancers, bartenders and prostitutes are all hired from France with high salaries. In addition, here you can enjoy "Yekster", "Yamik", "Athena Ice" and "Brave Pills" which are limited supply to the army.
"" and other hallucinogenic drugs made "Paris Night Entertainment World" a holy place that French people in the Tokyo area flocked to. Later, even white people from other countries in the Southeast Asia region also came here.
Thanks to the good relationship with the government and the military, Leonardo's business is booming. Not only is he making money every day, the trading house has almost a monopoly on all food supplies at the Haiphong Port Naval Base, and official procurement of various colonial governments in the Tokyo area.
, also entirely handed over to the French Chamber of Commerce.
But no one knows that Leonardo's true identity is the intelligence chief of the Ou Group's intelligence department in the French Annan region, and he reports directly to the person in charge, Mag Hughes.
