Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 259: Invasion (2)

"The third squadron will come with me! Assault! Go forward!" Masao Noda raised the 95-style saber and pointed forward. His sturdy body looked extremely agile at this time, and the Japanese army captain flew up and jumped onto the road embankment. His infantry squad rushed towards the French bunker that was flaming at the foot of the opposite mountain.

This is the third attack launched by the Takeda team. The first two attacks ended in failure. The frontal terrain was a bit unfavorable for the Japanese army, and the opponent had fierce firepower that they had never encountered before.

"The dead country is worthy of being a strong European army. Even the second-rate troops in the colonies are equipped with so many organs." Captain Kato squatted behind a rock on the side of the road, surrounded by a circle of squadron headquarters. Subsidiary staff.

"Lieutenant Ono, you immediately take the machine gun unit to occupy the high ground on the left side of the road, and find a way to suppress the firepower of that bunker." Kato said loudly on the shoulder of the squadron deputy.

Kato has always admired this clever and bold squadron adjutant. Lieutenant Ono Shizuo has just graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School for two years and transferred to Kato Squadron to accumulate experience in the management of front-line combat troops. The meaning in the wing is obviously Regarding him as a senior cadre in the future, if nothing goes wrong, this ensign will have a bright future.

"Heh." Ono gave a short promise, and after a military salute, he rushed out of the shelter. (PS: Japanese soldiers generally use "Hayi" to answer when they express their praise, but they often shorten it to a "Ha" or "Ha" when receiving orders from higher authorities. It is said that this will make it more samurai.)

"Sergeant Ruan, we have run out of ammunition."

"Pay attention to the right, fire! Fire!"

"Reload! Faster."

"Victor is going to die soon, we need to send him away as soon as possible."

"Mom!"

"Come on, come on, you **** Japanese monkeys!"

At this time, in the machine gun fort No. 1 in the front of the French A3 stronghold, the French soldiers roared in despairing gunfire. The battle has entered a fever pitch, and the soldiers have no time to take care of them except for their companions in their machine gun groups. The traffic between the No. 1 machine gun and the A3 base has been cut off, and a part of the Japanese army turned over the road and returned to the side of the bunker. Sergeant Nguyen Phuoc knew in his heart that this fortress could not be maintained for long.

"Lieutenant Domière, the enemy has come around behind us. I beg you to allow us to retreat." Sergeant Nguyen Phucyou covered his ears. He shouted loudly into the telephone receiver. Fortunately, the telephone line was buried deep under the ground and was not damaged by the Japanese army, so he could still keep in touch with the stronghold.

The past ten minutes was a nightmare for Nguyen Fuyou, and the Japanese were completely crazy. Completely disregarding the life and death of himself and his companions, what makes him feel even more terrified is that these lunatics also possess extremely proficient combat skills, their shooting is extremely accurate, and they are very good at using the terrain and landforms, if not for the lieutenant to send himself to temporarily strengthen With firepower, perhaps it was already lost when the enemy launched the first attack.

Sergeant Martin Nguyen brought a machine gun squad, equipped with two FM29 machine guns, plus four Hatch case M1909 machine guns originally equipped in the bunker. The machine gun firepower of this sturdy double-layer machine gun castle has roughly It is equal to a Japanese squadron.

"Thank you, lieutenant. I will try my best to persevere." Nguyen Fuyou put down the phone in his hand and looked at the **** wound on one side of his thigh with a wry smile. Why did the Japanese want to provoke this conflict? He is still trapped. Confused.

What Sergeant Martin Nguyen didn't know was that the group of Japanese soldiers facing him had no doubts. Didn't they say that the marching training was completed, and why it turned into an offensive somehow.

In order to perform realistically, Morimoto Takuji actually ordered all the personnel to march on foot. All the horses and vehicles were left in the barracks, and the heavy machine guns and infantry artillery were alternately carried by the soldiers to march. This also allows his brigade to pass through some narrow paths. Bypassing several French guards on the border, and because of the mountain blocking, the movement of Morimoto Battalion did not even alert the Japanese garrison on the other side of the mountain, including the chariot squad assigned to him. . Because of traffic, they were placed in Licha Village, which was close to the Nanguan Highway in the town, and the living environment of the third group was much better.

The Morimoto brigade sneaked close to the Sino-Vietnamese border along the rugged hills and paths between dense shrubs. Because the remaining trails had to climb over steep cliffs, it was difficult to pass heavy-loaded troops, so Morimoto Brigade returned to the dirt road between the villages. Passing through Nonghuai Village from the side of Sifang Mountain, I soon came to the No. 16 Boundary Monument, and then I would cross the Sino-Vietnamese border.

Morimoto played a trick at this time. He ordered the troops to turn to the right and march down the hillside along the trail. It looked like they were walking along the border line, looking for the intended target, the seventeenth boundary marker. In fact, this paragraph The national border is a prominent part of the border of Vietnam. The boundary marker they were looking for had already been left behind by them at this time, and when they stepped down this mountain, below was the territory of French Indochina.

The soldiers of the Morimoto Brigade went down the hillside ignorantly, and naturally embarked on Vietnam’s No. 4 Highway, the most important main road in Vietnam on the northern border. One end leads to Gaoping and the other One end goes straight to Lang Son, during which it passes through the city of Dong Deng. Highway 4 is the main artery of the northern border city. Cutting off this road is equivalent to cutting off the flow of materials between the northern cities. The French colonial government built a series of armed strongholds along this road to prevent malicious destruction by local independent organizations. . The A3 stronghold is such a highway defense fortress. It shoulders the responsibility of blocking the passage to the northwest of Tongdeng, and also bears the important responsibility of border guard.

Lieutenant Domière's judgment was very accurate. The Morimoto Group really came to his A3 stronghold. The first contact between the two parties took place in front of the first machine gun. The Iio team of the Kato team, as the forward of the entire team, started to advance along the road to the southeast. After a short time, the pioneers who came forward felt something was wrong. The environment around the road and they had already The Chinese countryside that I'm used to seeing is completely different. The solid and clean asphalt pavement, the smooth roadbed and the neat street trees on both sides, and the English letter street signs standing beside the road are obviously not in Guangxi.

The vanguards hurriedly returned to report to the team leader, but the answer was to leave them alone, stay vigilant and move on. Immediately afterwards, this pioneer unit saw the towering bunker beside the road and a few French soldiers who ran in and out carrying boxes. When you see the French Indochina Federal Flag flying high above the bunker. A few Japanese soldiers stood on the road dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

When the follow-up troops arrive, the French have already prepared for battle and are ready for battle, and Sergeant Ruan is the supreme commander here. He stood on the top of the bunker, holding an iron horn in his hand, and began to speak to the Japanese army.

"This is the territory of French Indochina. Please indicate your identity immediately for the troops in front of you. This is the territory of French Indochina. The troops in front of you will immediately identify yourself." Nguyen Phuoc sent the Japanese in standard pronunciation. Asked. Although he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance, this is a basic diplomatic procedure and must be followed by rules.

The Morimoto Brigade stopped, and there was a commotion among the forward troops. The Brigade crossed the border and entered French Indochina? This is not something that can be simply dealt with in the past. This is an international dispute. Once the French protest, the Japanese side will definitely find some people to take responsibility for it.

Squadron Kato, who had been prepared at this time, brought his adjutant forward and began to negotiate with the French defenders. At this moment, what Kato wanted most was to directly attack. But before the attack, we must find a justifiable reason, and then we can deal with the incompetent high-levels in the cabinet and the military.

Nguyen Phuc Uu took a Vietnamese soldier, walked out of the bunker and came to the road to meet with Kato. Kato's French is not good, but English is good. Sergeant Nguyen Phuoc has amazing linguistic talents, so the two sides began to communicate in English. As a result, a dispute broke out before the two sentences were finished.

Kato said that his troops lost their way during the marching training and accidentally entered the border of French Indochina. He asked Nguyen Phuoc to let them pass by the road. The third battalion was ready to pass through Tongdeng city and return from Zhennanguan. China border.

This is simply slapping the French in the face. Thoroughly trample on the dignity and power of the French colonial government. If a foreign armed force is allowed to travel freely on the French colony, what face does the French have to continue to maintain the rule of this place.

This point was negotiated by the Japanese early on, and they decided that the French would not agree to this request. As long as the attitude of the negotiation is a little bit worse, it will eventually provoke armed conflicts on the other side, and the brigade can then take the opportunity to attack the French garrison and strive to win the same city in one go.

On the contrary, if the French agree to the request of the Japanese side, their goal can also be achieved, because it means that the French are only strong in the outside world. Not dare to fight head-on with the Imperial Japanese Army, the Morimoto Brigade that uncovered this point will be regarded as a hero, and the insightful people in the military will inevitably push forward the decision to attack French Indochina.

Sure enough, Nguyen Phucyou immediately stated that he could not let them pass through the defense line. He had to get instructions from his superiors. He demanded that the Japanese army retreat five hundred meters away and waited on the spot for the disposal of the French Indochina government. He warned Kato not to make any reckless actions, otherwise the French Army would not hesitate to stop it with force, leading to a diplomatic incident, and the face of both parties would not look good.

Kato replied that he didn't have much patience~IndoMTL.com~The French must reply within fifteen minutes, otherwise the Japanese will decide their own actions. Nguyen Phuc You replied that he would immediately call his superiors to report, and then the two sides shook hands to say goodbye, but within less than twenty seconds of separation, the exchange of fire between Japan and France began.

The fuse of the conflict was a word Nguyen Fuyou said casually on the way back to his bunker. He first spit on the ground, and then said to his companions, "These **** Japanese devils. "For him, this may be just a sentence expressing personal disgust, but the problem lies with this versatile Sergeant Ruan, who spoke in Chinese at the time.

"Red Deer Yelang!" With a gunshot, Nguyen Phucyou fell to the ground with his thigh, and then the machine gun that had been on alert in the bunker immediately launched a fierce counterattack, standing on the road before he had time to put down the rifle The Japanese commander and several soldiers around him were immediately beaten into a sieve.

Finally, Sergeant Ruan was dragged back to the first machine gun fort by his companions, and Kato ran back to his squadron, and immediately began to organize the first attack, which was later called the Tongdeng Meat Grinder. The **** battle broke out like this. (To be continued.) () "The Battle of Resurrection in the Third Reich" only represents the author Feng Rui's point of view.
