Volume 5 The Central and South Storm Chapter 36 The Storm Suddenly Changes

The longer it went, the more irritable Hu became. Starting

When sporadic explosions were heard in the east, Mr. Ho glanced at his watch. After 5 minutes, it has already entered the day.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Ho walked towards the car parked across the street.

Ruan Liangyu definitely didn't come back, or went to another hiding place. There is no doubt that Ruan Liangyu guessed that Wu Sanming would conceive him, so he did not rush back to Hanoi.

The question is, where can Ruan Liangyu go?

After getting into the car, Hu Zhicheng stabilized his nervousness.

Like Hu Zhicheng, after hearing the gunshots coming from the east, Zhang Xiaolong, who was guarding the junction, also became nervous. According to Phan Yunsheng's orders, they had to arrive at the rendezvous site before 3 a.m. and leave Vietnam in a special forces helicopter. After that, they will have to find a way to get out of Vietnam on their own.

Seeing Hu Zhicheng's car, Zhang Xiaolong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get in the car."

Without Hu Zhicheng's instructions, Zhang Xiaolong pulled the car door and got into the car.

"The troops of Dawn and the troops of Wu Sanming are fighting."

"What!?" Zhang Xiaolong's eyes widened.

Hu Zhicheng smiled coldly. "If they fight to lose both," he said. You should give me at least 10 million dollars in commissions. ”

"Why?" Zhang Xiaolong was stunned again. "Did you make it up?"

Hu Zhicheng nodded. I talked about what he started to do.

". You've got what it takes. Don't say 10 million. It's no problem to give you 20 million. ”

"However, I didn't see Ruan Liangyu."

"It's okay, Ruan Liangyu is already in our hands."

This time it was Hu Zhicheng's turn to be taken aback.

"Caught by our special forces." Zhang Xiaolong paused and said, "Let's drive quickly, we have to rush to the rendezvous point near Gaoyang in two and a half hours." ”

Hu Zhicheng stepped on the accelerator and headed southwest of the city. "What are you doing there?"

"The receiving unit will pick up Nguyen Luong Ngoc over there, and we will leave Vietnam by the way."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm in the same car with you, and if you're going to be finished, no one is going to be there. ”

Hu Zhicheng didn't say anything more and concentrated on driving.

Zhang Xiaolong didn't bother with it, and after throwing away the cigarette butt, he took out the communication equipment and reported the latest situation to Pan Yunsheng.

At this time, Pan Yunsheng was on his way to the Fuhrer's capital. Originally, he didn't want to bother Zhao Rundong, but after a phone call, Zhao Rundong asked him to report the situation in detail.

"I just received news from Pham Mau Bang that there is a battle in Hanoi."

"I also got the message." Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette, "The two warring sides are the garrison troops who support Li Mingjie and Wu Sanming. ”

Zhao Rundong frowned.

"The informant reports directly." Pan Yunsheng smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect it, right? ”

"How could this happen?"

"If my guess is correct, Wu Sanming suspects that Li Mingming has sold him, and Li Mingjie wants to get rid of him with Wu Sanming."

Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and motioned for Pan Yunsheng to continue.

"After the bombing of Ningping Air Base, Wu Sanming must have known that someone had betrayed him." Pan Yunsheng took two puffs of his cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "Wu Sanming's first pregnancy must be Ruan Liangyu." Judging from the information that has been obtained, after Ninh Binh was bombed, Nguyen Luong Ngoc drove away from the air base alone in a panic. Subsequently, Wu Sanming questioned Nguyen Liangyu's secretary, Hu Zhicheng. ”

"Hu Zhicheng?"

Wu Sanming was an agent who was ambushed by Ruan Liangyu's side, but he didn't know that Hu Zhicheng was still serving Li Minh Jie. He didn't even know that Hu Zhicheng was 'Nanyang No. 1'. ”

"What!?" Zhao Rundong almost jumped up from the sofa.

"It's hard to imagine, right?" Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "Hu Zhicheng's father is Chinese, and his mother and maternal grandfather were persecuted to death by Wu Sanming. As for the reason why he cooperated with us, both to avenge his mother and for money, it was very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. ”

"In other words, Hu Zhicheng took advantage of the contradiction between Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded. "I don't know exactly how. Wu Zhicheng is professionally trained, and being able to work with us for two years without being detected is a testament to his excellent ability. Before that, Hu Zhicheng knew that we were going to plot against Nguyen Luong Ngoh. Vu Sanming failed to leave Vietnam, and he will inevitably purge Vietnam's top leaders. Under these circumstances, if Hu Zhicheng wanted to survive and leave Vietnam, he had to find a way to divert Vu Sanminh's attention. The only way is to let Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie guess each other and let the two of them fight. ”

Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "That's true. It's hard to imagine that an agent could lead to something so big. ”

"It's hard to imagine, and when I first received the news, I was a little incredulous. On the other hand, isn't that exactly what we want? ”

Zhao Rundong nodded. "Now, how are they doing?"

"Hu Zhicheng?" Pan Yunsheng smiled, "I'm about to leave Vietnam." The retreat was handled by the special forces, and I asked them to come back with them, so there was no need to stay in Hanoi. ”

"What about Ruan Liangyu?"

"One piece will come back too."

Zhicheng went to convince Ruan Liangyu. ”

"No problem, I'll arrange it when they come back."

Seeing Pan Yunsheng away, Zhao Rundong sighed a few times.

The world is unpredictable, and Zhao Rundong still can't believe it. An agent arranged by Wu Sanming to Ruan Liangyu unexpectedly made such a big deal in Vietnam.

Was it luck, or something else?

Unexpected results often catch people off guard.

Zhao Rundong had such a feeling, because all the plans arranged before did not take into account that Wu Sanming would fight with Li Mingjie.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Rundong called Peng Maobang.

"Okay, understood, get ready to send troops to Vietnam as soon as possible." Putting down the phone, Peng Maobang went straight to the command center.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Vietnamese army in Laos is coming to an end, and Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi are arranging the final strike. The second Vietnamese army that entered Laos stopped at Mong Duan Huong Huong on the east bank of the upper Nam Kham River, did not advance towards Veshary, and did not engage the republican ** force that entered Laos. Apparently, the fighting in the interior of the river had an impact on the Vietnamese army.

Without knowing whose orders to listen to, the Vietnamese army fell into disarray.

"Is it too early to arrange a march into Vietnam?"

"First kill the Vietnamese army entrenched in Mengduxianghongdi." Peng Maobang pondered for a while and said, "Send out the reserves of the 16th Airborne Army to cut off the retreat of the Vietnamese army." As long as the battle starts, the Vietnamese army will definitely retreat. When the time comes, open a passage and enter the territory of Vietnam in the name of pursuing and destroying the enemy. ”

"In that case, we have to be prepared for a big march."

Hearing Pei Chengyi's words, Peng Maobang nodded and said: "After the battle on the Sichuankhouang Plateau, withdraw the 15th Airborne Army as soon as possible to rest and recuperate, and order the 54th Army and the 211th Army that have arrived in Yunnan and Guangxi to enter a state of combat readiness. Redraw the battle plan and, if possible, try to occupy Hanoi as soon as possible. ”

"It's not easy, it's best to wait for the Hanoi garrison to fight and lose before attacking." Xiang Linghui was a little late and said, "If we occupy Hanoi, we need very good reasons. ”

"Ruan Liangyu is already in our hands, and that's the most sufficient reason."

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "The premise is that Ruan Liangyu is willing to cooperate with us." ”

"This is the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Agency, we don't have to worry." Peng Maobang glanced at the two of them, "Let's go ahead and deploy first, don't think about the rest for the time being." As soon as the time comes, send troops to Hanoi immediately. ”

Seeing Peng Maobang's firm attitude, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi didn't say anything more.

At this time, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning on the 26th Beijing time.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the 23rd Infantry Division, the 24th Infantry Division, the 27th Infantry Division and the 5th Armored Division of the Vietnamese Army has entered the final stage.

After more than 20 hours of heavy blows, the Vietnamese army's will to resist was completely destroyed.

From the night of the 25th, the most that the participating units of the Army of the Republic did was not to destroy the recalcitrant enemy, but to try to contain thousands of prisoners of war.

By dawn on the 26th, the total number of Vietnamese officers and soldiers who surrendered exceeded 10,000!

According to post-war investigations, most of the Vietnamese army ran out of ammunition and food before surrendering. In order to surrender, several units of Vietnamese officers and soldiers also executed officers who refused to surrender. This shows how low the morale of the Vietnamese army in Laos was at that time.

Before dawn, the 153rd Airborne Brigade, which suffered the heaviest losses, handed over the defense to the 1611th Airborne Brigade and was the first to withdraw from the battlefield. Of the 3,874 officers and men of the brigade, only 823 eventually left the battlefield, and more than half of them were lightly wounded. Li Dongshi was also among the lightly wounded, and only 3 of his squad held out to the end. Relatively speaking, it can be regarded as very "lucky". Many squads, even many platoons, fought to the last man.

Subsequently, the 152nd and 1511th Brigades of the Air Assault withdrew from the battle.

On the morning of the 26th, the battle to encircle and annihilate the second group of Vietnamese troops entering Laos began, and the 162nd Airborne Brigade and the 163rd Airborne Brigade participated in the battle.

On this day, the most important thing is not to fight on the battlefield.

In addition to the Hanoi garrison of Vietnam, the first part of the armored 2711 brigade began to advance towards Vientiane. According to the plan, the unit will arrive in Vientiane city on the night of the 26th.

In accordance with his promise, Zhao Rundong asked State Councilor Xu Zhengdong to meet with Hindaong and arrange for the Lao Prime Minister to return to China.

As soon as the army occupied Vientiane, Hindaeong immediately returned home to form a provisional government.

Restoring legitimate power in Laos is a trivial matter, and not only does Tamaphon not enjoy the support of the Lao people, but the army under his control is also a rabble. As soon as the Panzer 271 Brigade marched into Vientiane, the rebellion would be over.

At 18:30 EST on the 25th, the United Nations Security Council held an extended meeting.

At this time, the battle on the Cheonkhouang Plateau was over. On behalf of the Republic, Pong Hung Long once again proposed the imposition of comprehensive sanctions against Vietnam in the Security Council, and after discussions during the day, a vote will be held at the extended meeting.

Will the United States vote against it again?

Vietnam's Hanoi garrison fought against each other, the political situation in Vietnam was in turmoil, and the United States was caught in a diplomatic trap.

Advance or retreat? (To be continued)
