Part 3 Chapter 18 Question

The battle was still going on, but the situation on the battlefield made François, the chief of staff who was born in a regular army, shook his head. The new army with student soldiers as the basics was fighting a little at the beginning. The troops were advancing completely according to their prior arrangements, and they were very well-organized to double-team the rebels from both sides.

However, after the two sides contacted and fought, the situation of the rebels running around after they were defeated. The rebels ran around, the new army chased each other, the rebels were in chaos, and the new army was in chaos. The strong student soldiers, led by Wang Chao, rushed to the front, and the others followed suit, and they all waved their commanding swords to charge forward. Except for Aftershock and Zhao Xinglong, the two commanders, who were still standing at their posts, the others forgot what a commander should do.

The consequences of this quickly led to the chaos in the establishment of the New Army First Association. None of the commanders at all levels except Zhao Xinglong were contacted.

"What's the matter? Can you still call an army when fighting like this? The commander should look like a commander, and they all charge with bayonets. Who will command the troops?" François jumped straight and waved his fists to roar at Aftershock and Zhao Xinglong: "This is the army you have trained, even militias are not as good as militias."

Aftershocks disagree with François' accusations. As long as the troops can win battles, do they care about whether they are in chaos? If the enemy is in chaos, can we not pursue them? As an officer, how can we let the soldiers fight bravely? Aftershocks were kept in their minds and didn't say these words. Anyway, François is a chief of staff, and he still has his own control over the command of the new army. If he wants to nag, he will let him go and ignore it directly.

On the other end of the battlefield, after learning that the troops besieged the east of the city were defeated, the reaction was to immediately gather the troops that could be used at hand, and then ordered the troops besieged the Telegraph Bureau to withdraw quickly. At noon, Carmondo gathered nearly 4,000 troops in his hands. Based on various intelligence, Carmondo ordered the troops to alternate cover and withdraw from Saigon.

Wang Chao, who had been rushing in the front, saw thousands of rebels standing up on the opposite side and preparing to shoot. He quickly stopped and turned around to greet his subordinates to fight. At this time, Wang Chao realized that there were only about 30 people following him.

After François insisted repeatedly, aftershock barely sent communications soldiers to stop pursuing and fight again. Less than ten minutes after several communications soldiers left, a burst of dense gunfire came from the city.

François's face changed drastically, and he listened carefully for a while: "Oh no! This is the sound of a Shashpe-style volley!" Then he glared at Aftershock angrily and roared at Aftershock: "As the highest commander, you are not in good condition and you can't listen to the correct opinions. I must go to General Shen to sue you."

After saying that, François rushed out of the temporary command post, found the idle team in the yard, and shouted directly to the captain: "Take your people with you and follow me."

The captain of the supervisor hesitated for a moment, glanced at the gate of the command center, and ordered the supervisory team to gather.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. Faced with the organized rebels chasing the enemy, the new army, which had been completely in chaos, suffered a great loss. Wang Chao's vanguard lost the most, and he was also shot. If his subordinates had not rescued them desperately, Wang Chao would have become the first battalion officer in the new army.

If Calmondo had not determined that the situation of the war had deteriorated and had only wanted to retreat safely. After repelling several new forces' charges, he did not order a counterattack, but took the initiative to evacuate. The new army suffered a lot of losses in this battle. Even so, the new army's disorderly charge caused more than 100 people to die in battle and more than 300 people. This record was caused by more than 2,000 rebels ordered to be responsible for alternate cover. The cover and blocking battle lasted only half an hour before and after the cover and blocking battle. Fortunately, a messenger sent by the Aftershock could not find officers at all levels, so he stood wisely and stopped the horse at a certain intersection, standing on the back of the horse and shouted: "Mr. Yu has an order, stop chasing, and the whole team will fight again." This made the soldiers behind stop. During this period, the messenger also found a battalion officer, and finally passed the order to the front-line commander.

François was lucky, and to a large extent, the supervisory team played the role of a guard company, so Chen Congyun equipped the supervisory team with horses. François skillfully rode his horse to the place with the most gunshots. Unfortunately, when he arrived, the tragedy had already happened. The rebels' blocking troops had retreated, leaving behind new soldiers who were killed and injured. François had no choice but to command the supervisory team, while asking the rescue team to come up, while asking the supervisory team to rescue the wounded soldiers first.

When Aftershock saw Liu Yongfu, it was already around 2 pm. Liu Yongfu bandaged him and asked the soldiers to carry him into the command post on a stretcher. When Aftershock came to greet him quickly, François, who was furious, also came back.

Due to the voluntary evacuation of the rebels, the battle finally subsided when it was dark. The New Army and the Black Flag Army suffered a total of 2,300 casualties, of which more than 800 died in battle, and the New Army occupied 200 of them. After the rebels withdrew from Saigon, they retreated directly to Cambodia. Carmondo's explanation to Du Bailei was that the situation that Ruan Phucqing had expected did not appear, and few ordinary people came out to help. However, many rebel soldiers took advantage of the chaos to rob and let the people in the city see how many people died with kitchen knives.

When the aftershock of the team was reorganized, the troops were going to fight with the rebels again, the rebels had already run far away. The Saigon rebellion ended in this way.

A week later, Chen Congyun rushed from Hanoi to Saigon.

All the students and soldiers in the new army were ordered by Chen Congyun and all gathered in the playground outside the command center.

"Why did I repeatedly remind you when I set off? Say it yourself." Chen Congyun's face was as gloomy as ice, facing the aftershock and Zhao Xinglong standing in front of him with his hands behind his back. The other student soldiers knew that this was a sign before the storm came. They didn't even dare to breathe, and stood up straight.

Aftershock and Zhao Xinglong didn't say anything, but stood still without moving with his head held high and his chest.

"I'm sorry to say, right? Well, let me say." Chen Congyun roared and shouted at Aftershock and Zhao Xinglong: "When I set off, I repeatedly told you that you should listen to the Chief of Staff more in everything. What did you say? As the acting co-organizer, I couldn't find six battalions and more than twenty sentry officers under him. When the Chief of Staff reminded you, he didn't immediately realize the seriousness of the problem. He delayed his resignation before sending a communications soldier. I was right? Didn't you wrongly accused you?"

Chen Congyun spoke slowly and his tone slowly lowered, and his eyes looked at the line-up of students and soldiers, which made them all lower their heads one by one.

"The Chief of Staff said you are a group of militias. I think he is polite you. According to me, you are not even as good as militias. You are just a group of mobs. What I, Chen Congyun, want is a strict discipline and high tactical literacy. A group of peasants who know that they are rushing up to fight. It is very satisfying to charge with bayonets? As commanders, are you worthy of the soldiers who rushed around because no one commanded them and finally fell to the guns of the enemy?" Chen Congyun said this time to all the student soldiers, and all the student soldiers were spoken red and speechless.

"It seems that you all need to learn the art of command." Chen Congyun said with a cold look again, and he shouted: "After Shock, Zhao Xinglong, as the main commander, has made serious mistakes in the battle command this time. He has decided to demote to battalion officer, hand over the command power, and return to Hanoi to standby."

Speaking of this, Chen Congyun stopped for a while, then shouted loudly: "There are all people. Run around the playground for 20 laps and give me some memory."

The student soldiers responded with a loud bang: "Yes!"

Then aftershock shouted the command and started running around.

Seeing the student soldiers running around the circle hard, Chen Congyun turned around and smiled at François, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, do you think this kind of treatment is OK?"

François shrugged his shoulder and said, "Governor General, your military administration is strict. I am honored to have an employer like you. Of course, if you are willing to give me some salary, I will be even more honored."

Chen Congyun, who had been stern, finally laughed out loud. He walked back with his hands behind his back and said as he walked: "François, I plan to keep you in Saigon and assist Liu Yongfu in guarding the country. The salary will not increase you, but this time you reminded you very well. How about rewarding a month's salary?"

François was overjoyed when he heard the sound and nodded repeatedly. He didn't know that Chen Congyun was fooling him. This time, he suppressed the Saigon rebellion, all the officers and soldiers paid double wages, and there were also miscellaneous burning and burying the family expenses. As soon as the war started, it meant that it would cost money. Chen Congyun felt distressed in this battle. More than 800 people died, and the lesson was too profound.

Chen Congyun and François made a special trip to see Liu Yongfu who was recovering from his injuries. Liu Yongfu on the hospital bed was also deeply uneasy. After all, Saigon was his jurisdiction. If Chen Congyun hadn't reinforced him in time this time, the Black Flag Army would have ended.

Chen Congyun comforted him and proposed that in the future, the efforts to support the Vietnamese puppet army should be increased, otherwise with the existing forces, the border between Vietnam and Cambodia has already controlled the south will be useless. The rebels come in as soon as they want to come in, which is because they are unpredictable.

In addition, Chen Congyun felt that the new round of military expansion plan was about to be changed. If there were such a large Vietnam, there were no 30,000 to 50,000 people, so he could not take care of it. Chen Congyun hesitated for a moment and said to Liu Yongfu: "Mr. Liu, Congyun plans to adapt the Black Flag Army and expand the Black Flag Army into a town's troops. I just don't know what Lord Liu has?"

Liu Yongfu's expression changed slightly. The adaptation meant that his control over the army would decline in the future. Chen Congyunhui arranged many people to the army.

"Liu Yongfu's life is saved by Lord Shen. Besides, the Black Flag Army is also under Lord Shen's command. It is reasonable for Lord Shen to adapt it." Liu Yongfu still sincerely expressed the meaning of surrender, which basically means that Liu Yongfu will follow Chen Congyun in the future, rather than the former world leader who had to fight with the French all day long and guard against the court.

"Haha, the number of the Black Flag Army remains unchanged, and the official position of Lord Liu remains unchanged. The Black Flag Army is adapted as the commander of the General." This sentence gave Liu Yongfu a reassurance. Liu Yongfu showed gratitude when he heard this, and struggled to sit up and salute Chen Congyun. Chen Congyun quickly pressed and said, "Don't move, lie down. Get up early, and the team is still waiting for you to lead him."

After leaving Liu Yongfu, Chen Congyun went to the ambulance again to visit the injured soldiers. When the soldiers saw Chen Congyun's arrival, the slightly injured stood up to salute. Chen Congyun said some encouragement words, and finally said to everyone: "All injured brothers will pay three times the salary this month, and the brothers who died in battle will pay five times the salary." The words were said and the injured soldiers were thunderous. After a long time, this sentence was at one point. If the soldiers want to work hard in this year, they have to spend more money and hope to use national justice to educate the soldiers. It is no different from being a brainless person.

After visiting the wounded soldiers, Chen Congyun returned to the command center. Aftershocks covered in sweat and Zhao Xinglong had already returned, standing at the door waiting for Chen Congyun.

Chen Congyun saw the two of them, snorted coldly, and walked straight into the office.

After Zhen and Zhao Xinglong hurriedly followed in and saluted together: "Director Chen! Subor...."

"Don't tell me that I'm ashamed of me, I don't want to listen. You two, go back to pack up, go back to Hanoi with me in a few days, and then get out to Germany. I have asked Mr. Zheng to contact the school and study hard when I arrive in Germany. If I don't study well, don't come back to see me."

Chen Congyun's words were really deep and harsh. Aftershock and Zhao Xinglong's eyes were sore as they heard it, and they stood attentively and saluted: "Yes! I promise not to embarrass Shen Duke!"

Chen Congyun sighed slightly, "It's been hard work, go down and take a break. Summarize this battle well and write me a report and hand it over."
