For Vietnam, losing those mountainous areas actually reduced the financial burden, allowing them to organize stronger resistance. The enemy became weaker the more they fought, and the Vietnamese army became stronger the more they fought. In addition, tropical diseases with extremely high mortality rates in ancient times had a great impact on Vietnam.
The enemy forces in the north were more lethal than the Vietnamese army itself. Therefore, China was never able to conquer Vietnam in ancient times, so there was nothing good to say about it. In fact, the situation in North Korea was similar, except that North Korea did not have the help of tropical diseases, so its performance was not as good as Vietnam.
Just that strong
If you attack from south to north, the situation is completely different. First of all, southern Vietnam is a plain that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and foreign enemies can capture it at a relatively small cost; at the same time, southern Vietnam is far richer than the north, and its grain output is higher.
It accounts for more than half of Vietnam. Therefore, after losing the south, Vietnam's money and food will not be enough to maintain its original army.
With the size of the army, the Vietnamese army will only become weaker and weaker as they fight. On the contrary, the enemy can make up for the losses of the war by supporting war with war. At the same time, the huge economic benefits gained from occupying southern Vietnam can also strengthen their will to fight and make their superiors resolutely fight.
The war will be carried out to the end, so there is nothing good about Vietnam being destroyed by the French army in the first place.
Therefore, after Hu Weidong discovered that the still weak Chinese navy could seize control of most of the South China Sea, he immediately came up with the idea of imitating the French army in attacking Vietnam from south to north. In a sense, this can be regarded as "taking control of most of the South China Sea."
The person's way is the same as the person's body."
After the People's Liberation Army landed in southern Vietnam, the French army in the north quickly withdrew southward. However, the mountainous terrain was difficult to travel, and road traffic was seriously damaged by the Chinese Air Force. How could it be so easy to withdraw? It must be noted that historically, the French army during World War II
Although the various new aircraft developed successively have their names in later generations, their performance is world-class. The only fault is that the army surrendered too quickly. The government surrendered so early. However, the French army deployed
However, the number of aircraft in Asia cannot be compared with that of the Chinese Air Force, which is fighting in the neighboring mainland. The J-1, which has an increasing number of equipment in the Chinese Air Force, is simply a cheating existence for the fighter jets currently in service in various countries during this period. Super ace Zhong Ming transfers.
After the J-1, it shot down hundreds of French aircraft in just the first month of the war. However, its own plane did not suffer any serious damage. This is undoubtedly the best proof [
It is worth mentioning that the J-1 is not only fast, with a high ceiling, but also has excellent horizontal maneuverability and excellent protection. Since the paulownia wood hardened by epoxy resin is as hard as steel, the French aircraft is not equipped with large-caliber aircraft.
gun, so unless
Hit at close range, otherwise no effective damage will be caused at all. Therefore, the losses of the J-1 in air combat are extremely small. If the results of the anti-aircraft guns are not counted, for every J-1 shot down by the French army, they will lose more than 50 aircraft. How can this be?
Fight?
Just as the French army was struggling to retreat southward, more than 50,000 elite soldiers of the Chinese Marine Corps were riding in cars and even armored vehicles quickly heading north along the traffic line, sweeping away the scattered French troops along the way.
And empty, and seizing the opportunity before the main force of the French army had time to withdraw to Hanoi, the navy sailed upstream into the Red River to expel
With the powerful firepower support provided by warships and frigates, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Vietnam's second largest city. The French army in Hanoi only had more than 10,000 troops. Although they resisted desperately, they were unable to resist the People's Liberation Army, which was far superior in both numbers and combat effectiveness.
Marine Corps, in just three days, the whole city of Hanoi was declared liberated
After learning that Hanoi had fallen and the lower reaches of the Red River were blocked by Chinese warships, the remaining French officers and soldiers were in despair. With the little territory they had left, they could not feed the 300,000 French troops north of the Red River.
Even if the People's Liberation Army does not attack, they
Most of them would starve to death. The desperate French army first planned to forcefully cross the Red River, but was bombarded with corpses by the Chinese navy's naval artillery. Then they returned north and tried to invade China to obtain supplies, but they ran into the solid defense line deployed by Hu Weidong.
Headache and bleeding
Two failed attempts resulted in more than 100,000 casualties for the French army, and only a few medicines left. However, the Chinese army, which suffered only a few thousand casualties, still maintained an offensive capability of nearly 100%. It did not dare to fight with the People's Liberation Army again.
The remnants of the French army had no choice but to retreat westward into Laos, hoping to divert to Thailand to beg for food. However, everyone in the French army forgot a very fatal point.
It is a mountainous area. When it comes to mountain warfare, who in the world is the opponent of the People's Liberation Army? What's especially terrible is that the People's Liberation Army's mountain marching speed is more than twice as fast as the French army.
People continued to lose their lives due to various poisonous insects and beasts in the tropical rainforest. The morale of the French army continued to decline along the way, and finally collapsed completely.
By the end of January 1941, the Chinese army had basically liberated most of the French Indochina colonies, killing more than 70,000 French soldiers and taking more than 200,000 prisoners, and four to five others.
Thousands of people are missing in the primitive mountains and forests on the edge of nowhere
In the process of liberating the French colonies in Southeast Asia, China also sacrificed more than 10,000 commanders and fighters. At least half of them were not killed by French gunfire, but because of tropical diseases and poisonous insects and snakes unique to the tropical rainforest. Although Hu Weidong had
We also gave them special training, but in the end they were still unable to completely avoid these dangers.
No matter what, the People's Liberation Army's attack on the French colonies can be called a beautiful battle, but it was not here that started the attack. Before receiving the news from Krim, Hu Weidong was not sure that he could help
China is so busy, so just in case, he also formulated another plan, which is to directly wexe India, which is crucial to Britain, in order to force him to take the initiative to seek peace.
At this time, Fang Yongle's Tibetan Army Division had already converted many of the Gurkha soldiers captured last time, so Hu Weidong ordered Fang Yongle to lead his troops out of the Sikkim Pass. Under the leadership of these foreign "liberation fighters",
Liberating Nepal, an important source of troops for the British Indian colonial army, on the one hand weakened the strength of the British army, and on the other hand directly affected Delhi and put pressure on the British government.
Due to the continuous increase in troops during the confrontation, the total number of British troops in India at this time was at least more than 150,000 even if Burma was not included. If the colonial troops were also included, the number would be more than 300,000. In comparison, Fang Yongle's command
There are only more than 30,000 field troops,
It seems to be too little, and when fighting at the southern foot of the Himalayas, the British still had absolute air supremacy, but Hu Weidong had full confidence in his former favorite general, and Fang Yongle did not disappoint him (Unfinished)
