Five hundred and fiftieth eight chapters full of confidence
The underground party tasted the sweetness and transferred most of the guerrillas that could be transferred from the northern Vietnamese region, with a number of more than 4,000 people.
Gao Jiu did not disappoint them. He sent a telegram to Lin Yanni, asking him to get his father Lin Wenhan to allocate 10,000 Type 79 rifles, 100 light machine guns, 500,000 bullets, and 50,000 grenades. These were for the underground party guerrillas in the Vietnamese region.
The troops of the King of Yunnan were different from the troops of the National Government. They formed their own system and purchased equipment from several countries, including many French weapons. Gao Jiu also purchased a lot of French weapons through Long Yingyuan, which were for Luka's French troops.
Gao Jiu also purchased a large amount of food and other supplies, enough for 10,000 people to use it for two months.
Subsequently, the weapons were airdropped outside Nanwa City by the Aviation Commission.
With this large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies, the strength of our army has been greatly enhanced.
According to the wishes of Luka and others, they were unwilling to fight with the French army, so Gao Jiu arranged for them to concentrate their troops to Nanwa City for defense. He led the underground party and guerrillas to conduct field battles.
Gao Jiu first helped the underground party guerrillas to carry out temporary reorganization, forming a guerrilla brigade of 4,000 guerrillas and each 800 people, and each guerrilla brigade was responsible for restraining a regiment of the French army.
The specific combat deployment is that each guerrilla brigade is divided into 4 200 guerrillas, and each guerrilla team is led by 5 members of the Taohuashan Special Forces Team to harass the enemy in the form of sparrow battles.
Gao Jiu led the remaining special forces members and 400 guerrillas led by Li Ganhong to attack a regiment of the Vietnamese minion army.
The troops controlled by the French Governor's Office stationed in Vietnam have only more than 40,000 people scattered in a huge Vietnam. Although they have formulated combat plans, it is very difficult for the troops of these five regiments to gather together.
The underground party guerrillas are all locals and they are very familiar with the terrain. The members of the Taohuashan Special Forces are proficient in guerrilla tactics. They harass the enemy everywhere. The French army suffered all the hardships along the way.
The Vietnamese guerrillas have strong discipline and initiative in combat. After several battles, their level of guerrilla warfare has been greatly improved. In this case, the guerrilla team, which originally had 200 people, was once again dispersed into a small army of dozens of people. They rushed up like hornets and attacked from all directions, making the French army in a mess.
The French troops were originally scheduled to gather in Hanoi on September 15, but on the 17th, only one French troops entered Hanoi City. A French regiment and a Vietnamese Servant Army suffered heavy losses and simply returned to the garrison. Another French regiment and a vassal army regiment are still on the road.
When Gao Jiu saw that the time was coming, he led the guerrillas of Li Ganhong and others to attack a regiment of the minion army on the way.
As the French army and the Vietnamese minion army had retreated to their original garrison and the underground party guerrillas responsible for harassing them, they freed up their hands to join Gao Jiu's combat operation.
At 2:00 p.m. on September 18, the Vietnamese Servant Army troops were resting in a town. Li Ganhong and others led more than 200 guerrillas to attack the enemy.
The tactics adopted by Gao Jiu and others were still to use fishing tactics to conduct ambush operations.
Li Ganhong and others followed Gao Jiu and others to fight. Now they have experience and know how to lure the enemy into the bait.
Li Ganhong and others ran to the vicinity of the Vietnamese Servant Army's garrison, and there was a burst of gunfire. The special forces squad inside were accurate in shooting skills and killed more than a dozen Vietnamese Servant Army on the spot.
The Vietnamese minions came along the way and encountered countless harassments. They now have experience and hid in the temporary positions and did not come out. They just used fierce firepower to fight back and expel the guerrillas.
Li Ganhong and others ran away after fighting this time, so they simply stopped opposite each other and kept shooting at the servants, which was very much like fighting with them.
The two sides fought for almost an hour, but Li Ganhong and others still did not withdraw.
The French commander of the Servant Army hated these guerrillas that were raiding everywhere. Seeing that the guerrillas were not alive and dared to fight positions with them, they decided to teach them a lesson. So, they concentrated most of their troops and rushed towards Li Ganhong and others.
Seeing that the main force of the enemy had come out, Li Ganhong and others then fought and retreated.
The Vietnamese minion army rushed to the enemy's position and saw the guerrillas fleeing. The French commander looked at the vast jungle in the wild and hesitated a little.
At this moment, Tian Chuan, who was hiding in the crowd, shot him. He deliberately did not hit the vital point of the French commander. The bullet hit his left arm, causing him to cry.
The French commander finally couldn't control his anger and ordered the troops to chase Li Ganhong and others desperately, and it was necessary to destroy them all.
Gao Jiu led the special forces and more than 1,800 underground party guerrillas, who had already been ambushed by the roadside, waiting for the enemy to come and die.
After the French army chased them for a while, the hot weather made them miserable. They began to relax a little and slowed down. Li Ganhong and others hated them very much. They saw that the French army was slower and worried that they would retreat, so they returned and shot at them. Tian Chuan and others, who were mixed in, took the opportunity to kill more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the servants.
The enemy could not bear such humiliation, and tried his best to chase Li Ganhong and others.
Seeing the enemy entering the encirclement, Gao Jiu aimed at a French commander riding on a horse and shot him off the horse with one shot.
The members of the Taohuashan Special Forces had already selected their respective targets and killed many enemy officers and machine gunners as soon as possible.
Today, the guerrillas are well-equipped, with more than 1,800 people firing together, mixed with a large number of machine guns and mortars. The French vassal army was already exhausted and suffered a sudden attack and suddenly became a mess.
The ambush position still uses an inverted triangle position, with no dead corners on shooting, and the officers and soldiers of the minion army had nowhere to hide.
More than twenty minutes later, the enemy's resistance had basically been disintegrated. Gao Jiu issued an offensive order, and everyone shouted and rushed onto the highway, destroying the remaining enemy troops.
After the ambush battle, Gao Jiu led the main force of the guerrillas to surround the remaining troops of the minion army.
The French commander bandaged his wounds and was waiting for good news to come from the troops. Unexpectedly, what appeared outside was the underground party guerrillas all over the mountains. He understood that his main force had been wiped out by the enemy.
Now he has only half a battalion of troops left, and the direct team has only more than 500 people in total. There are no need to count the enemy outside, there are almost 2,000 people. His main force cannot defeat these enemies, and the remaining people are probably not even the enemy's opponents.
The French commander was already a little panicked, so he hurriedly sent a telegram to ask the Governor's Office for help, asking them to send reinforcements to the reinforcements.
The French Governor's Office does have many troops in their hands, but the distant water cannot quench the nearest thirst. With such a terrain in Vietnam, even if the nearest troops are sent to reinforce, it will take several days later. The Governor's Office has no choice but to order the French commander to stay and wait for assistance.
The French commander also knew that reinforcements could not be counted on. The reason why he asked for help was to seek psychological comfort, and at least there was a glimmer of hope. He urged the remaining officers and soldiers to repair positions and prepare to resist the enemy's attack.
At this time, Paulus appeared again.
Paulus has now become the ambassador to persuade surrender. With rich experience, he began to shout to the French commander to persuade surrender.
Paulus held a tin trumpet and shouted loudly: "Sir, your main force has been eliminated. Now you are surrounded by thousands of people. It is impossible for your reinforcements to come. On the way, countless guerrillas attacked them, and you will soon be out of ammunition and food."
After saying this call, he continued: "The one who beats you now is not the ordinary Vietnamese guerrillas, but the war god Gao Jiu from China. You must have heard of Mr. Gao Jiu's reputation. If you refuse to surrender, there is only one way to die.
I am Paulus, who is stationed in the Sixth Regiment of Nanwa City. Our leader has surrendered to Mr. Gao Jiu. Not only has he not been abused, but he has also received a large reward.
Mr. Commander, I hope you can recognize the situation in front of you and lead the troops to surrender to Mr. Gao Jiu. Mr. Gao Jiu can definitely ensure the safety of your lives and property."
Since the attack on Hanoi Airport, the French commander of the French Army also heard that Gao Jiu came to Vietnam from the Peach Blossom Mountain. Of course, they were still a little skeptical about Gao Jiu's magic. At this point in front of him, he finally believed it.
He was determined to surrender, so he sent a loud soldier to shout: "Mr. Gao Jiu of China, our regiment commander will talk to you."
It was inconvenient for Paulus to hear the call from both sides, so he said, "Mr. Gao, why don't I go to the opposite side and meet the leader in person to persuade him to surrender."
Gao Jiu was worried about his safety because the opposite side was not the army in their regiment after all. He said, "This is very dangerous, I have a way to solve it."
Gao Jiu personally shouted: "Mr. Commander, I am Gao Jiu from China. In order to facilitate the call with you, please send a communications soldier to pull the telephone line over."
The commander of the French army also felt that it was inappropriate to shout like this in front of all the officers and soldiers of the regiment, so he followed Gao Jiu's advice and sent a communications soldier to set up a telephone line.
Soon after, the two sides had a conversation over the phone.
Gao Jiu guaranteed the safety of life and property after the French surrender. Not only that, he also allowed the French officers to carry guns. In this case, the French commander chose to surrender.
After destroying this Vietnamese vassal army, Gao Jiu led the guerrillas to attack another French army regiment on the road.
At this time, the guerrillas gathered again, with a total force of more than 4,000. Gao Jiu and others quietly surrounded them on all sides while the French army was resting in a village.
The surrounded French army was the troops of the Seventh Regiment. When they came out of the garrison, there were more than 2,200 people. After these days of losses, there are only more than 1,700 people left, and the morale of the troops has been greatly reduced.
When the French commander saw the enemy troops everywhere, he felt like he was unable to do so.
At this time, he had received a telegram from the Governor's Office and learned that only one of the five regiments participating in the battle had arrived in Hanoi, and the two regiments returned to their original residence. The remaining two regiments had been eliminated by the enemy. He had no intention of going to Hanoi to assemble, but only thought about how to get rid of the predicament in front of him and retreat to their original residence.
The commander of the 7th French Regiment was a very decisive person. He knew that reinforcements could not be counted on, and the only way was to break through immediately. So he concentrated all his main forces and launched an attack in the direction he came under the cover of artillery fire.
The commander of the 7th French Regiment originally thought that the guerrillas that raided them along the way were just a group of mobs, and it was okay to carry out sneak attacks. Face-to-face regular operations, the French army could defeat the enemy with just one charge.
However, the situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectations. These guerrillas had high morale and strong fighting due to their continuous victory over the past few days, and had no intention of disintegration.
Not only that, the guerrillas were well-equipped and had ammunition, and there were a large number of machine guns and mortars inside. The firepower was no less than that of the French army.
What the French were most unbearable was that among the guerrillas, there were a large number of snipers, commanders at all levels of the French army, machine gunners, and the brave soldiers rushing in front, all of them were living targets of the enemy. The huge casualties were unbearable for the French army. The French army pushed forward less than 100 meters and was beaten back.
After counting the number of people, the commander of the 7th French Regiment was very frustrated. In the attack just now, the French army lost more than 440 people, including 22 officers at all levels.
Such heavy losses have never been in history for the Seventh Regiment's troops.
The French commander held a telescope and looked at the enemy's position facing each other, not knowing how to fight this battle.
It is already 4 pm now, and the French soldiers are very afraid of darkness. These days, these damn guerrillas will launch attacks on them every night. The French soldiers are not good at night fighting and are miserable.
They are very worried now that when it gets dark, so many enemy troops launch an attack, they can't resist it.
At this moment, the commander of the 7th French regiment received a telegram from Luca, the commander of the 3rd regiment. The telegram was very long and described in detail the treatment of the French army of their regiment after surrendering to Gao Jiu. They said that they had joined General Daigaole's free French government and persuaded the officers and soldiers of the 7th regiment to surrender to Gao Jiu.
Luca's telegram was arranged by Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu received a telegram from Luca saying that he had sent a telegram to the commander of the Seventh French Regiment. He waited for a while and confirmed that the commander of the Seventh French Regiment had read the telegram, so he sent Pauls to persuade him to surrender.
After Paulus called out, the French commander of the Vietnamese Servant Army also called for persuasion to surrender, saying that they had received preferential treatment after surrender, and that he had joined General Daigaole's free French government.
The commander of the 7th French Regiment was somewhat skeptical and asked the French commander of the Vietnamese vassal army to enter the village to talk.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the commander of the 7th French Regiment also led the French troops to surrender to Gao Jiu.
The underground party guerrillas really did not expect that over the years they could only hide in the dark and deal with the powerful French army. Gao Jiu and others only had more than 100 people, and the situation on the battlefield actually changed so much.
The head of the underground party in the northern Vietnamese region was extremely excited and sent a large number of correspondents to mobilize everywhere. Underground party guerrillas and militia organizations from all over the country flocked, and more than 10,000 people were soon gathered.
Under the leadership of Gao Jiu and others, the underground party guerrillas rushed towards Hanoi City in a mighty manner.
