Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 258: Invasion (1)

"What do you call this thing?" Lieutenant Domier picked up the small dish with the dipping sauce and smelled it. The smell was really not good. (For the latest chapter, please go to: Literature Building www.wenxue)

"Man, we call this Man, it smells a little strange, but it tastes very good." Martin Ruan introduced the new boss's hometown food to the new boss.

Hearing the introduction of the sergeant, as a senior foodie, Lieutenant Domière did not hesitate to dip his finger in the small plate and put it into his mouth. "Huh?" Domière's eyes widened, a wonderful salty taste that he had never tasted before.

"Well, I like the taste. It seems to be some kind of seafood...or shellfish."

"The lieutenant is really an experienced person. This is made from fermented sea fish. It is a local specialty of our Beiqi." Martin Ruan complimented his company commander with an exaggerated expression.

Lieutenant Domière had just taken office five days ago as the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the third regiment of the French Indochina Tokyo Infantry Regiment. Tokyo here is not the one on the small island to the east, but the capital of the Annan Le Dynasty, which was later renamed Hanoi. When the French occupied Vietnam, they simply referred to the northern part of Vietnam centered on Tokyo, the area called Beiqi by the Vietnamese collectively as Tokyo. The Tokyo Infantry Regiment is an infantry regiment formed in the Tokyo area of ​​Vietnam. As the name suggests, the purpose of forming this team is of course for the defense mission in the northern part of Vietnam.

In the early days, most of the soldiers of this infantry regiment came from French nationals and local French nationals. They were under the management of the French Ministry of War and belonged to the regular French army. However, with the evolution of history, this infantry regiment was the same as other colonial troops. Slowly start localization. Especially under the management of the former humanist governor, the Tokyo Infantry Regiment began to recruit Vietnamese soldiers. Sergeant Martin Nguyen entered the French army at that time. As a native Vietnamese, Sergeant Nguyen's ability to become a non-commissioned officer in the French army can be regarded as a great feat. In addition to being clever and clever, he can speak fluent French, and he is good at observing words and speculating on his boss's intentions. Big relationship. This sergeant was born Nguyen Fuyou. The name Martin was given to him casually by the registrar of the conscription office. It was simple and unobtrusive, and the sergeant was very satisfied.

"I'm going to the Tongdeng garrison headquarters once in the afternoon. You can go with me. We will live in Tongdeng City at night." Lieutenant Domierre tore a piece of white bread from the blue bread and dipped a plate. Put the fish sauce in the mouth.

"Thank you very much, Lieutenant, I know a few very good places in Tongdeng City." Seeing Sergeant Ruan's flattering smile, Lieutenant Domière immediately understood. But he pretended to be serious and nodded to this flexible subordinate.

"Sir, there is a call from post No. 5, and their patrol team found that a Japanese army was climbing over the Jinj Ridge and was advancing quickly in the direction of Tongdeng." Sergeant Norva, who was on duty in the communications squad, ran in. In the small lounge, waving a phone record in his hand.

"What? When did this happen." Domier stood up and took the record.

"Twenty minutes ago, the patrol sent someone back to the outpost to report that they should continue to follow each other."

"Damn it." Domier ran out of the lounge quickly, walked into the company's war room, and spread out the map of the Tongdeng defense area on the map table.

"According to what was said on the phone, this Japanese force was at this location." Sergeant Norva pointed to a ridge on the map.

"If they keep going along this mountain path. Cross this ridge to reach Highway 4."

"This group of crazy little dwarfs, this is a blatant armed invasion. They must have made sufficient preparations to escape the No. 2 and No. 3 posts. If the No. 5 post had not sent a patrol, it would probably wait until When they appeared under our noses, we still didn't notice anything."

Although Lieutenant Domière has just moved to this stronghold and is not very familiar with the local environment and geography, he still possesses the military literacy that local officers generally lack, and he has repeatedly studied this on the way to his post. Maps and information of the defense area. The line of defense and the deployment of troops in this area are clear.

"We should immediately report to the superior of the regiment department. This is a serious diplomatic incident." Sergeant Noval suggested.

"No, this is not like an accident. They have crossed the border. The purpose of the action is very clear. This is a military action, sergeant, this is a war." Lieutenant Domière patted hard. I clicked on the map, and then marked the location of the Japanese army and the time of discovery with a red pencil, and then traced an extension of the road on the map.

"If they continue to move forward, they may encounter our stronghold head-on. All must assemble immediately. Level 1 combat readiness, distribute the ammunition, summon all squad leaders to the headquarters to assemble. Sergeant Ruan, you go choose a machine gun squad , Strengthen the No. 1 Machine Gun Fort. I order you to stay there. Without my order, no one can pass on the No. 4 Highway."

"Yes, Lieutenant."

"Understood, Lieutenant." The two non-commissioned officers hurriedly stood up to salute the company commander, turned and rushed out of the war room. Domiel dropped the pencil, strode to the phone, turned the handle of the magnet phone a few times, and then picked up the receiver.

"This is the a3 stronghold. I am Lieutenant Domiere. Please take me to the Tongdeng Garrison Command. Please ask Lieutenant Colonel Philip to listen to the call." Domiere leaned at his desk, under the messy documents. After digging out half a pack of cigarettes, he shook out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, held the microphone between his shoulder and neck, freed his hand, struck a match and lit the cigarette.

"This is Philip." The voice of the garrison commander rang on the phone.

"Sir, I am Lieutenant Domiere. There is an emergency to report to you now." Domierth threw away the match in his hand and picked up the telephone receiver to report loudly.

As a border transportation hub, Tongdeng has always attracted the attention of French colonial authorities. As the first town to enter Vietnam from the direction of Zhennanguan, the perennial border trade has created its prosperity. And as the intersection of Vietnam's railway and highway systems in the direction of China's Nanning, Tongdeng has a layer of strategic value. As long as the city is occupied, it can effectively cut off the flow of materials between northern Vietnam and China. At the same time, it is also the main transportation node between the border and the mainland of Vietnam. The train from Dongdeng can go directly to Taiyuan and Hanoi through Lang Son, and it is also connected to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

The French are well aware of the military and economic value of this small city, so a standard garrison area has been set up in Dongdeng, and a colonial infantry battalion has been stationed throughout the year. Due to the limited number of French colonial troops, the French followed their usual thinking. If the troops are not enough, use a strong fort to supplement. The colonial government recruited a large number of migrant workers, and built a strong fort on the flat top mountain in the center of Tongdeng city. The firepower can cover a large area of ​​surrounding mountains and passes.

Because of the late construction of the fort, the French Army tried its best to pursue the style of lying down and fighting. The facilities and configuration of this fort are very modern. In addition to the ordinary restaurant and bathroom, it is even equipped with a ballroom and officer bridge room. The decoration is as luxurious and comfortable as ever. So when the fort was completed, the headquarters of the garrison area moved in there immediately. The officers can finally enjoy the leisurely days like the guys on the Maginot line in the country.

After Lieutenant Colonel Philip received the call from his subordinates, he initially thought that the lieutenant from Marseille was joking with him. How could such an absurd thing happen in his defense zone. When he discovered the seriousness of the matter, he was immediately scared into a cold sweat. He knew the character of the group of Japanese people on the opposite side. He had been to Nagasaki and Tokyo. Those guys would become completely irrational when their heads became hot. It seems that something big is going to happen this time, and these dwarfs are going to play hard.

Philip hurriedly assembled the personnel of the regiment, commanders at all levels, and combat staff, and communicated via wire and radio at the same time. Report the emergency situation here to Lang Son garrison force and Hanoi headquarters, and ask for instructions and assistance from superiors.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Philip felt fortunate that a battalion of French Foreign Corps soldiers arrived in Tongdeng just a day ago. Their destination is Gaoping. They are now taking a rest in the barracks near the train station. According to the commander Reported that they are waiting for heavy equipment shipped from Haiphong. If you add this new force and the existing troops in Tongdeng, you should be able to insist that the reinforcements arrive at Lang Son.

The question now is what the Japanese will do next. Whether this was an independent military operation or the prelude to a large-scale offensive, Lieutenant Colonel Philip could not make a judgment for a while because of the lack of intelligence on hand. But one thing is very clear, that is, he must fulfill his duties at this moment. Defend the glory of the Army of the Third French Republic.

The commanding personnel of the headquarters of the garrison area began to gather in the command center one after another, and the row of prepared telephones leaning against the wall rang one after another, and the harsh electric bells became a ball after another.

"Sir, the a3 stronghold is engaged in an exchange of fire with the enemy forces. Lieutenant Domière is requesting support."

" Colonel Bunova, the commander of the Ninth Regiment of the Colonial Infantry of Lang Son, wants to talk to you."

"The Observation Post on the 15th reported that the enemy was advancing in the direction of Tongdeng along Highway 4. The firefighting around the a3 base was very intense, and an enemy force was found to bypass the base and was approaching the edge of the city."

"The second regiment of the colony is ready for battle. The company commander asks for instructions on what the order is."

The duty officer and the correspondent reported to their supervisors in a rush.

"It's all quiet!" Lieutenant Colonel Philip roared, and the command post suddenly became silent, only the phone on the desk was still "ringing" and kept ringing~IndoMTL.com~ already Confirmed, Your Excellency, yes, the Japanese army has crossed the border and launched a surprise attack on us. The frontline has already begun to exchange fire and the fighting is very fierce. .... Yes, this should be a premeditated military operation, a military invasion. Okay, I understand that I have full confidence in blocking the enemy's attack, but I don't know if the enemy has any follow-up troops. According to my personal judgment, they now have at least one regiment on the border. "Philip held the phone in his hand and respectfully answered the other party's question.

"If the opponent is attacking on the whole line, I can guarantee to stick for forty-eight hours. This is no problem. Your Excellency, thank you very much, yes, yes. Long live France." Philip put down the phone seriously and turned to look. The standing subordinates. "

Your Excellency the Governor ordered the troops of the defensive area to counterattack the enemy invading the border with all their strength and start fighting, gentlemen, long live France. "

"Long live France." The judges cheered loudly.
