The military horse farm under the Dongshan Temple in the north of the Yangtze River in Xufu is surrounded by green mountains and green bamboos. It is the turn of spring and summer, and the entire military horse farm is green and green, and wild flowers can be seen everywhere.
Two rows of long brick-concrete structures are the stables where stallions live. Outside the stables, on the wooden platform next to the gurgling creek, there is a row of open military tents, with long tables covered with white tablecloths under the tents.
, filled with snacks, drinks, alcoholic beverages, fruits and vegetables. Nanhua's specialty pineapples and bananas as well as Xufu's local cherries and plums are mixed together, exuding an alluring aroma.
A group of former senior French army and navy officials wearing simple Anjia Army camouflage training uniforms sat around on the grass paved with oil paper and communicated with the visiting French envoy Jules Henri. The food at this buffet was all
Jules Henry bought them in the city of Xufu. The Anjia Army did not make things difficult. Instead, they sent people to help deliver these things to the military horse farm. This is how today's buffet looks quite good.
"The combat effectiveness of the Anjia Army is much stronger than we imagined. They are equipped with tanks, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles. The penetration rate of trucks is very high. The artillery equipment is equipped with a large number of 150mm and 120mm caliber cannons. The degree of mechanization is not at all compared to our French Army.
Inferior, the quality of individual soldiers is only higher than ours."
Major General René, former commander of the French First Division in Annan, said softly.
Jules Henry frowned: "Is this really the case?" It is a common tactic for losers to exaggerate the strength of their opponents to reduce their guilt. Jules Henry does not think that the An family's military has the strength to surpass the French Army.
"There is no doubt about it!"
Former Cochinchina Commissioner Borg heard Jules Henry's slightly sarcastic questioning, and then saw his friend Major General René's blushing face, and said angrily:
"Although I am a civilian official, I know that what General Rene said is a feeling shared by all the troops who have fought against the Anjia Army. If the special envoy does not believe it, you can ask the Japanese to see how they failed. The Anjia Army
Not only did they have strong fighting power, but they also did not stick to routines in fighting and were good at surprise attacks. This is how Saigon was lost."
Jules Henry was noncommittal and looked around: "What do you think?"
Vice Admiral Esteva, the former commander of the North African Fleet, said with shame: "The Anjiajun is indeed full of tricks. The ships of my fleet were deceived by the Anjiajun through fraudulent means. Looking back now, I still have lingering fears about their schemes.
One link is closely linked to the other, making it difficult for people to guard against."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute... General, you mean... An Jiajun captured the ships of your fleet?" Jules Henry asked in surprise.
"Yes! Is there any problem with this? That bastard Jinsol defected to the Chinese and set up a trap for me to coax me to rest in Cam Ranh Bay. As a result, the marines of the Anjia Army boarded the ship that night and took us
They were all uniformed. King Sol also persuaded me to join the South China Navy, but I refused!"
Lieutenant General Esteva shook his head.
Jules Henry looked surprised: "But Nanhua's naval battle report said: Your fleet and King Sol's fleet were sunk by their air force, and no one escaped... What on earth is going on?
?”
Lieutenant General Esteva's eyes widened:
"No, after I led the fleet out of the Strait of Malacca, Kinsol sent a huge naval fleet to meet us at the junction of the South China Sea and the Gulf of Siam. Then we sent the army to Saigon Port and rushed to Cam Ranh Bay together. Here
On the way, I observed Jin Sol's ship formation more than once. Although some ships were missing, the whole was still relatively complete. That night, all our ships docked in Cam Ranh Bay were taken over by the Anjia Army. They could not blow themselves up.
The ship..."
Drops of cold sweat broke out on Jules Henry's forehead: "So, General Esteva, the South China Navy has completely taken over your North African fleet?"
"That's right!"
Esteva nodded: "And according to me, Jinsol's Mediterranean fleet has probably all fallen into the hands of the An family army!"
Annan Navy Commander Major General Gejier looked frustrated: "My fleet fell into the hands of An's army in this way. That day, in the name of Jin Sol's ocean fleet, they deceived the river defense and entered the Saigon military port. They suddenly launched an attack. My
The fleet had no time to react and was controlled by them! The situation was extremely bad."
"Oh my God!"
Jules Henry took a breath of cold air: "So, our three fleets all fell into the hands of the Anjia Army...Why did they say that all the ships were sunk?"
Former Annan Governor-General Jules Brevière, who had been listening calmly, smiled bitterly:
"It is very obvious that Nanhua does not want to cause uneasiness to the major naval powers such as Britain, the United States, and Japan. After careful calculation, our three fleets combined have three battleships, two battlecruisers, nine cruisers, and twenty-three destroyers.
Such a naval force is already a huge fleet with ocean-going attack capabilities, ranking at least among the top ten navies in the world. However, Nanhua has kept it secret and continues to make people ignore their naval strength, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
"Just imagine, if Prime Minister Dalati did not send a special envoy to take a look this time, but instead sent troops rashly, it is estimated that the transport fleet would be ambushed by the South China Navy as soon as it entered the Gulf of Siam. With their current maritime power, unless they are local
The main fleet, otherwise with the cooperation of its sea and air forces, we will deliver as many as we come."
Jules Henry was stunned for a while, and then asked bitterly: "The navy sent to the Annan area almost completely fell into the hands of the Anjia army, but what about the army? How many prisoners did we have fall into the hands of the Anjia army? Let me tell you
Previously, An Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Anjia Army, said that 50,000 prisoners needed to be redeemed, what is the specific number?"
Lieutenant General Fouche, commander of the French Expeditionary Force, said in surprise:
"Fifty thousand? The reinforcements we sent alone totaled 59,000, and they were all captured directly by the machinations of the Anjia army without fighting. After I led my troops to the port of Hanoi, there were about a regiment of white officers and soldiers
They received us and took us to the military camp in the east of Saigon City. After settling in, they arranged a sumptuous dinner to welcome us. They invited a dance troupe to perform and served drinks. Our soldiers were very excited and indulged in carnival. As a result,
When I woke up the next day, I discovered that I had become a prisoner. From beginning to end, we had never experienced a battle, so there could not be so few prisoners."
Jules Henry looked at the others. Lieutenant General Demville, the former commander of the French Cochinchina Army, frowned and said: "When I led my troops to surrender to the Anjia Army in Da Nang, the total strength was 24,000. We are here
During the attack on the Dong Dong Son defense line between Da Nang and Hue, more than 2,000 people were sacrificed. Later, they were bombed by the South China Navy, causing another 2,000 casualties. Later, the morale of the army was shaken, and supplies were all gone, and there was no way to continue.
Keep fighting. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I had no choice but to surrender with my troops."
"Our troops were attacked from both sides by the Anjia Army, and the sea lanes were cut off. We had no choice but to surrender. At that time, the total number of French troops under my command was 12,000."
Lieutenant General Cruz, commander of the French Annan Colony's Army in Tokyo, recalled.
"When Saigon was attacked, there were almost more than 8,000 French troops in the surrounding areas. Before and after the fall of Saigon, no large-scale fighting broke out. According to my estimate, there were at least 5,000 prisoners."
General Bull, commander-in-chief of the French Annan Army, said with some uncertainty.
Jules Henry made some calculations in his mind and exclaimed: "Oh my God, everyone, so the other party has almost 100,000 prisoners. But why do they say there are only 50,000 prisoners?"
"I may know a little bit about this!"
Colonel Carey, a former colonial intelligence officer, said: "The Chinese recruit soldiers who have skills or are willing to obey management among the captives to work, and pay them monthly wages. Therefore, their current status is laborers, not prisoners. As for what they said
The 50,000 prisoners are probably the same as us who are unwilling to serve them."
"So, out of 100,000 prisoners, there were 50,000 traitors?"
Jules Henry stood up and shook his head repeatedly: "Scandal, this is really an unprecedented huge scandal... Dear gentlemen, I must report these important situations to the country as soon as possible to provide necessary reference for the cabinet's political decision-making. Today
Let’s stop here for your meeting.”
Everyone stood up one after another. Jules Henry waved goodbye to the senior officials of the former French Annan, then got into a luxury car rented for one thousand Chinese yuan and drove away.
...
In Humi Henan, as the battle continued to deepen, the outer defense lines of Abila Town were all broken through by the Anjia Army. However, after entering the town, the soldiers encountered certain troubles.
The Far East Republic originally wanted to use the river fortifications to deal a major blow to the Japanese army, so the entire town of Abila was covered with dense fortifications. After the Japanese army succeeded in the sneak attack, they immediately made full use of them and turned all the solid buildings into a
Fortresses were built, and the houses made of earthen walls were all demolished, and the ruins were used to build bunkers. Therefore, after the Anjia army entered the town, the battle suddenly became cruel. The Japanese soldiers hid in the dark and fired.
The shooting caused a large number of Anjiajun casualties.
At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Anjia Army was fully demonstrated. Infantry, machine gunners, snipers, and rocket launchers cooperated with each other. First, machine guns were used to suppress, and then the infantry assaulted, using submachine guns and box cannons to attack the Japanese army at close range. The snipers
Then monitor every move of the enemy within the entire combat radius of fifty meters. If the opponent's location has strong defenses, then directly use the rocket launcher to blast open the turtle shell. This kind of combat combination is almost accurate in one hit.
After all the Japanese troops outside the town were cleared, more and more soldiers poured into the town and started fierce battles with the enemy. The Anjiajun, who had received special training in urban combat, was invincible. The Japanese troops were killed one after another, and a few Japanese soldiers finally couldn't bear the pain in their hearts.
Fear began to rout, and then the rout gathered more and more, and finally became an unstoppable trend.
It is said that the army is defeated like a mountain, and it is also said that it is better to chase the enemy with the remaining brave men. The five Panther tanks of the five tank companies took the lead and pursued them relentlessly. The gunners turned the turret and aimed at the place where the Japanese were most densely populated.
A shell was fired, and in the shining light, only the sound of explosions was heard, and the Japanese troops fell one by one.
The medium and light tanks, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles that followed closely behind the Panther tanks rushed over. Tank guns and machine guns fired from behind the defeated Japanese troops. Those Japanese troops that ran slower fell into pieces like wheat.
Down.
Soon, the roaring tanks and armored vehicles rushed past the Japanese group, crushing the scattered Japanese troops under the wide and heavy tracks and wheels. After the tanks and armored vehicles passed by, the track and wheel marks were
It turned into two blood marks, and all the bloody corpses of the Japanese were left on the ground.
The infantry soldiers of the Anjia Army followed closely behind the chariot and chased the remaining enemies to their heart's content. They chased them three kilometers north from Abila Town to the turbulent Humi River.
At this time, a strange scene happened.
A dense rain of bullets was fired from the river defenses on the other side of the river, killing the Japanese soldiers who retreated from the highway bridge and those who couldn't wait to jump into the river. On this side of the river, the pursuers of the Anjia Army looked at each other in confusion and didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly the flying fox flag of the Anjia Army was raised on the position, and a large group of cavalry rode from the rear of the position to the front, waving to the river.
Deputy Division Commander Qi Huishen jumped out of the tank and laughed. Just now through the periscope of the tank, he had seen clearly what was happening on the other side of the river and knew it was the cavalry led by Zuo Yuan.
It turned out that the front and rear pincer tactics adopted by the Third Division finally paid off. Zuo Yuan led his troops to sneak attack the rear of the Japanese defense line and succeeded, and the Humi River defense line was finally conquered without any danger.
At this time, the pursuing Japanese troops were still 40 kilometers away from the Third Division, and the Third Division still had plenty of time to retreat.
