Chapter 1478 Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot
At 11:28 noon on the 30th, a huge tank group of 150 Wolf tanks and 50 Leopard tanks suddenly appeared in Hanoi City.
The Cilian line in the northwest is only four kilometers away from the city.
Behind the astonishing number of tank troops, there were also a steady stream of armored fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery vehicles and truck convoys. The Hanoi defenders panicked and became a mess.
Currently, there are only one infantry battalion of the French army and two regiments of the Annan Army stationed in Hanoi. However, through intelligence gathering that has not been interrupted since the early morning, the number of Chinese troops entering Annam is at least more than 400,000, and all of them are mechanized corps.
According to the information sent by the troops along the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway before the surrender, the opponent had thousands of heavy artillery pieces with a caliber exceeding 120mm, and countless artillery pieces of other calibers. In addition to tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and self-propelled artillery vehicles, there were no human beings.
I hope that my small and pitiful army can make a difference in the face of such a powerful enemy.
Starting in the morning, waves of Chinese fighter planes flew over Hanoi City, dropping countless leaflets in four languages: Chinese, Beijing, French, and English, demanding that wherever the People's Liberation Army goes, the defenders should immediately
Putting down arms and surrendering can ensure the safety of personal and property, and receive the best care according to the treatment of Annan citizens. If the defense of the city leads to the destruction of lives, everyone from officers to soldiers will be punished as war crimes.
If nothing else, just look at the number of aircraft in the Chinese army, no one is optimistic about the French army in Annan, especially in the entire Red River Delta. The total French army is less than 2,000, and the Annan army is only 10,000. There is such a disparity in strength between the two sides.
Obviously, if you continue to fight under such circumstances, you will undoubtedly be making a fool of yourself and the lives of your soldiers.
Following the usual thinking pattern of Westerners, Colonel Kant, the commander of the French army in Hanoi, decisively ordered the French and Annan troops to lay down their weapons, assemble, drive out of the city, and surrender to the People's Liberation Army. Hanoi, the largest city in the north of Annan, was at peace.
liberation.
At 12 o'clock at noon, most of the more than 200,000 Hanoi citizens who knew that the city had changed its owner locked themselves in their homes and cautiously looked outside through doors, windows or second-story attics.
Those stationed in the city for temporary security duties are the soldiers of the Peiguangrong 10th Motorized Infantry Division of the Fourth Group Army of the Xia Jian Front. A motorized infantry division of the Anjia Army has a motorized infantry regiment, three mechanized infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, which are directly under the division.
Including special forces, air defense battalions, reconnaissance battalions, and armored battalions, it can be said to be one of the most modern armies in this era.
The mechanized infantry of the three regiments all got off the four-ton personnel carrier trucks and armored personnel carriers, and lined up neatly, carrying long guns and short cannons. They were all in high spirits, and they followed the tanks and armored fighting vehicles in groups of three.
and a half-track truck carrying artillery, entered Hanoi City from the west gate, and headed eastward, with its destination being the former French army camp of ten thousand people between Hoan Kiem Lake and the Red River.
Seeing the doors closed on both sides of the street, and the people fearing them, Pei Guangrong, who was sitting in the eight-wheeled armored command vehicle, rolled his eyes, stopped the troops, and through the vehicle radio system, ordered the commanders of each regiment to act in accordance with the order. After a while,
, the troops then went on the road, and the loud singing was already ringing.
"Every revolutionary soldier must keep in mind the three major disciplines and eight points of attention: first, obey the command in all actions and work in unison to win victory; second, do not take a needle from the masses, the masses will support and like me; third, all seizures must be
Return to the public and work hard to reduce the burden on the people. We must adhere to the three major disciplines and never forget the eight points of attention: first, we must have a harmonious attitude when speaking, respect the people and do not be arrogant; second, the buying and selling prices must be fair, public buying and selling are not allowed
show off one's arrogance;
Third, do not lose the borrowed things after they have been used, and return them in person; Fourth, if the things are damaged, compensate them not less than half the price; Fifth, do not hit or curse others, and resolutely overcome the warlord style; Sixth, care for the masses
The crops should be paid attention to everywhere during the march; seventh, women are not allowed to molest, and gangster habits must be eradicated; eighth, captured soldiers are not allowed to be abused, beaten or scolded, or pockets are searched. Everyone must be conscious of observing disciplines, and supervise each other to ensure that no violations are violated.
.
Revolutionary disciplines must be clearly remembered: the people’s soldiers love the people at all times, defend the mountains and rivers and move forward forever, and are supported and welcomed by the people of all ethnic groups.”
The song is catchy, the melody is extremely simple, and the lyrics are easy to understand. After singing repeatedly, it floats into thousands of households in Hanoi.
Many people were hesitant after hearing the lyrics, but they still took courage and slowly opened the door and walked onto the street. When they saw the soldiers and brothers from the north with kind smiles on their faces, their military appearance was in full swing, and they were walking in unison, they immediately felt a sense of excitement.
This kind of spirit is completely different from that of the French army and the Annan army, with an enterprising spirit.
Seeing various vehicles in the procession, plus the procession of two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles at the back, Hanoi citizens have never seen so many vehicles gathered together in all their lives, and saw the thick barrels.
, as well as the configuration of light and heavy machine guns in the marching team, you know how powerful this team is. This time, Annan may really change.
At the same time that the 10th Motorized Infantry Division entered the city, outside the west and south gates of Hanoi, it had turned into a large construction site.
As early as when the plan was being formulated, the Xufu Planning and Design Institute made systematic plans for Hanoi's future construction based on the high-altitude aerial photos taken by reconnaissance aircraft. Since the French built a complete drainage system, all the buildings in the old city will be destroyed.
After the popularization of electric lights, telephones and natural gas in the future, electricity will be distributed through underground pipe networks.
Information and gas are delivered to thousands of households, maintaining Hanoi's characteristics as a thousand-year-old ancient capital, and leaving a cultural wealth for future generations. Don't worry that this will give the national separatist forces an opportunity to take advantage of it, just like the Imperial City of Shu Han, the Imperial City of Xi'an and the Imperial City of Jinling
Just like the city, all these are relics of the feudal dynasty. They can only represent the past and have nothing to do with the current era.
In the plan, Hanoi, with its pleasant climate, mainly exists as a political, economic and cultural center, and its industry focuses on less polluting grains, oils and food, electronic appliances, instruments and meters, auto parts, agricultural machinery and accessories, textiles, silk, clothing and shoemaking, and printing.
and other industries to ensure that the land and air in the Red River Plain are not polluted, maintain a relatively stable ecological environment, and create minimum conditions for a bumper agricultural harvest.
Two engineering divisions will follow the troops south this time, but after repairing the Yunnan-Burma Railway, they will arrive by train together with large-scale construction equipment. Currently, the engineering troops of the two fronts are building temporary camps for the troops.
With the evolution of modern warfare, Hue, which is only five or six kilometers away from the sea, is no longer suitable as a capital. Fighters taking off from an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea can immediately threaten the airspace of Hue, and the safety of the government and military leaders is at risk.
to guarantee.
On the other hand, Hanoi is more than 90 kilometers away from the coastline and has enough time to respond to air attacks from the sea. Therefore, Hanoi will temporarily replace Hue's capital function. At the same time, according to the plan, Hanoi will become the headquarters of the Red River Military District of the Nanyang Chinese country.
, the military region is at the level of a large military region and has jurisdiction over at least military region agencies, logistics bases, troops directly under the military region and three group armies. Therefore, after the construction of the camps outside the west gate and south gate of Hanoi City, there will be no waste of land resources.

Syria Mansion, General Staff War Room.
Everything was arranged well last night. An Yi returned to Xiyuan's home early. The whole family had a lively dinner and received the father-in-law's family who came to visit after hearing the news. Since the war in Songhu, the Feng family, Ye family,
Wu's mother's family and the families of all the generals and commanders all moved to Xufu and lived in high-end residential complexes that were planned and built in advance, so they were not affected by the war.
Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao is becoming more and more satisfied with the husband chosen by his granddaughter. Now An Yi is in charge of thousands of troops and has overwhelming power. He has already become the second most powerful figure after Chiang Kai-shek. His future is limitless. Although Feng Jieyun repeatedly warned his family
People should keep a low profile and must not be slapped
An Yi's brand name is ostentatious, but China is a humanistic society with deep-rooted Confucianism. Even if the Feng family doesn't mention An Yi, others will make it easier for them. The factories and trading houses opened by the Feng family in Xufu are prospering and far away.
Much better than when I worked hard in Shanghai.
It was already half past midnight after seeing off the guests. I called and found out that Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian had led their troops to capture Laokai. The team was heading south. At the same time, the naval officers had successfully gained control of the French warships and successfully occupied it.
After arriving at Hai Phong Port, An Yi knew that the important matter had been accomplished, so he stopped interfering and went upstairs to accompany his two wives.
It was night, and An Yi, who was in a good mood, showed off his power, and the clouds and rain in Wushan were full of spring. He fed both his lovely wives well, and they fell asleep contentedly at four o'clock in the morning.
At nine o'clock in the morning, an energetic An Yi came to the General Staff Headquarters, mobilized troops and generals, and arranged for all subsequent ministries to enter Annam in an orderly manner. At noon, he received a joint telegram from Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian, saying that the French generals in Hanoi had surrendered.
, Hanoi was peacefully recovered. Although this
It was expected, but the last stone in An Yi's heart fell safely. He asked Yang Fei, Huang Zhi and Mu Cuiyi, the three deputy chiefs of staff, who were keeping an eye on the battle situation, to follow the plan and act cheaply. Then he personally drove to pick up Ding Molan and Zhang Ruyi.
.
The two girls were overjoyed when they received An Yi's phone call. Although they were shy and timid, for the sake of their future happiness, they still followed An Yi to the West Garden. Fortunately, the two hostesses had one sister and one sister, and they were extremely affectionate.
, and then I felt relieved. Both of us are intellectual women, and both have their own expertise in the field, so we are not afraid of being left alone when chatting. There are always loyal listeners who admire and follow each other, and everyone feels comfortable in their hearts.
After a warm reunion dinner, An Yi originally planned to watch a movie with everyone, but when he thought about it carefully, the Navy suddenly acquired such a huge asset, including two of the latest battlecruisers, and it may have become the target of the great powers.
If you don't plan ahead and make clever arrangements, if you gain something but lose it again, it will be too late to cry, so I have to apologize, take Shen Fengdao and a group of guards, and return to the war room of the General Staff Headquarters.
The first thing is still to understand the latest news.
According to French intelligence, French Prime Minister Daladier was still in Munich, Germany at this time, discussing with Chamberlain, Mussolini and Hitler the final ownership of the Sudetenland region in Czechoslovakia. Although the French government and parliament were not satisfied with the invasion of France by the An army,
The Annan colony was angry and anxious, but could not make a final decision.
As for the navy, Admiral Darlan still doesn't know that something has happened to his ocean-going fleet. He has repeatedly sent telegrams to order Vice Admiral Kingsol to lead the fleet and leave Haiphong Port as soon as possible, and not to put the navy's efforts at the expense of Chinese aircraft and artillery.
Under the threat. As for the next move of the ocean-going fleet, it still depends on the situation of the Annan War.
An Yi read the intelligence summary and thought: "So, the French don't know that their navy has fallen into our hands?"
"That's right!"
Liu Qing nodded: "Currently, our people have mastered the radio stations of the naval base and all warships under the guidance of the surrendered French naval communications personnel, and are trying to make ends meet with the French side. Starting from the morning, the north and south of Hue City
The French colonial army was attacked swiftly and resolutely by our air force. Since the enemy was not equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, it suffered extremely heavy casualties and has now broken away from contact with the Hue rebels.
"At the same time, after knowing that Hanoi had fallen into the control of our army, the French Annan colonial army headquarters decisively ordered the French army south of Vinh City to immediately return to Vinh City and requested the ocean-going fleet to pick up the troops south of Vinh City's outer port.
Withdraw. Obviously the French also know that with their pitiful army, they are no match for us."
An Yi paced back and forth, frowning and thinking: "Under the current international situation, it is obviously extremely unwise for us to go to war with France. In any case, France can be regarded as a behemoth. Although it is old and rigid and slow in action,
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so they still
It is possible to easily organize an expeditionary force of hundreds of thousands. The British are consistent with the French in colonial interests, so the French army can not only use its own naval fleet, but also ask the British fleet for help. When the war becomes more intense,
The bigger the burn, the worse the situation will get out of control.
"This is also the reason why I have repeatedly exaggerated the war into a war of national liberation. The reason why our army is named the People's Liberation Army means to liberate the people of Nanyang from the colonial hands and bring them a new life. I
It is estimated that the French will be undecided on whether to declare war for a while. If during this period, we have enough hostages in our hands, the French will have to carefully consider the consequences of declaring war.
"Of course, the French will definitely send troops to crusade. Annan is as important to their colonial system as India is to Britain. If they don't work hard and say nothing else, the capitalists in France will also let the Daladier government
Step down immediately. The situation in Europe is unstable now. If I think it’s good, Germany will get what it wants this time and get the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.
Once they annex the entire Czech Republic, their target will inevitably be Poland, and the European war will break out in full force in September at the latest. Therefore, we must survive these extremely difficult months, and when war breaks out in Europe, we can truly
We have gained control of Annan. Therefore, we can make a fuss about the French ocean fleet and strive to obtain maximum benefits."
Mu Zhuiyi, standing in front of a large map of Annan, rowed along the long coastline of Annan, and said thoughtfully: "What the commander means is to use the ocean fleet to maneuver, and have our navy officers disguise themselves as the French navy and sneak into the border areas.
Waterport, Da Nang, raid on the above two French troops?"
An Yi shook his head slightly and was about to explain. Huang Zhi, who had a waxy face and sunken eyes, suddenly said: "The commander probably wants to make a thousand-mile raid on Saigon, where the Governor's Palace of Annan in France is currently located. Saigon's defense is empty, and Saigon Port at the same time
It is also the location of the Colonial Navy fleet, which houses the old 'Guba' class dreadnought ship 'Paris'.
', 'Jaguar' class destroyers 'Jackal', 'Panther', 'Lynx' and more than 20 gunboats, in addition to a large number of transport ships. Due to the absolute advantage of our air force, the Annan colonial navy was greatly
They were too afraid to leave the port, so they could only hide under the anti-aircraft fire at the port, which created conditions for our raid."
An Yi said appreciatively: "Huang Zhi said it well. As long as we take down the main force of its navy in one go, the French army in Vinh City and Da Nang will be isolated and helpless. At that time, we will take advantage of the situation and be trapped in a tight siege.
French officers will naturally make the choice they think is the most correct choice. Didn’t the French commander in Hanoi today teach us a vivid lesson?"
The war room burst into laughter.
If it were the Chinese army, especially the Anjia Army, today's Hanoi would definitely be a situation of endless blood and corpses. The overly calm French had already lost the spirit of the last European war and believed that they should choose when they are not as powerful as their opponents.
Surrender is a matter of course. Perhaps this is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
