For its part, the outside world is paying more attention to the military operations of the Republic in Vietnam...... Starting

Starting from 8:30 Beijing time on the 29th, the International Radio and Television Station tracked and reported the combat operations of the Republican ** team in Vietnam.

It is still the Airborne Forces that act as the "rush vanguard".

Before dawn, the 162nd Airborne Brigade occupied Baohe and the 163rd Airborne Brigade occupied Quedai, and the two airborne units completed their combat missions in accordance with the campaign deployment.

In order to increase the "liveness" of the report, the international radio and television station sent two reporters who had learned to parachute to the front line.

It is not known how the reporters got to the front line, but the on-the-spot report is indeed very shocking.

Fighter jets roaring by, helicopters shuttling back and forth, large-scale artillery bombardment covering the sky and the sun, and low-altitude bombardment with landslides and ground cracks, reporters used cameras to record the most realistic battle scenes, which feasted the eyes of audiences all over the world.

Compared to the battle of the 153 Airborne Brigade in Nonghei, the battle between the Airborne 162 Brigade and the Airborne 163 Brigade is nothing at all.

Hohe and Quidai did not have many garrisons, and they were all infantry. Before the airborne troops landed, the Air Force dispatched dozens of H-6K planes to pour hundreds of tons of bombs on the 2~Vietnamese army and carried out carpet bombing; Then the army's long-range artillery threw tens of thousands of large-caliber shells and rockets at 2~, and the shelling lasted for a full 45 minutes. When the airborne troops arrived, the Vietnamese troops of 2~ had lost the will to resist, except for the stubborn resistance of the Vietnamese troops in a few strong fortifications, the other Vietnamese troops directly surrendered to the airborne troops who arrived first.

Airborne troops appeared behind the front and completely broke the morale of the Vietnamese border guards.

Before dawn. In the direction of Lao Cai and Liangshan, the Vietnamese army is still desperately resisting. It caused a lot of trouble for the armored forces in the frontal attack. By about 7 a.m. With the loss of Hokawa and Quidai. Tens of thousands of border guards in two directions were completely isolated. Not only is the resistance much weaker. There were also large numbers of border guards who surrendered to the armored forces in the attacking area.

1c a.m. The vanguard of the armored 5411 brigade reached Baohe.

Half an hour later. The vanguard of the Panzer 2111 Brigade arrived in Queidai.

The first phase of the campaign was basically completed. Nearly 10,000 border guards in Lao Cai and Liangshan areas of Vietnam were completely annihilated. The gateway to the interior of the river is open.

The hardest fighting was fought by the 272nd Brigade of the Armed Assault.

The brigade departed from the old northern Monwa. Follow the highway towards Lai Chau, Vietnam. Together with the 54th Army, the 542nd Army surrounded and annihilated nearly 60,000 border guards in the northwestern region of Vietnam.

By the time Panzer 542 reached Sinho, north of Lai Chau, Panzer 272 had just entered the territory of Vietnam.

From Pobiden in the northwest of Laizhou to Mengdong in the south of Laizhou, a short distance of 50 kilometers, Panzer-272 "walked" for 12 hours, and did not arrive until 130 on the 29th.

The resistance of the Vietnamese troops along the way was very stubborn, and the battle of Panzer 272 was very difficult.

These 12 hours of fighting are a clear reflection of the problems of the Republican Army. The first is backwardness in tactical thinking. Without the support of low-altitude forces, Panzer-272 forced a surprise attack, losing 32 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles along the way. If it were not for the good enough performance of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the number of casualties would not be 172, and it is very likely to break through. Second, there are still big problems in cross-service coordinated operations. Panzer-272's main support force is the long-range artillery deployed in the 27th Army in the Old Northland, with very limited ground support from the Air Force and Army Aviation. Several stops during the offensive were directly related to the lack of support. Finally, the command system and communication system need to be strengthened. On many occasions, Xiang Linghui, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, failed to grasp the combat situation of the Panzer 272 area, which had a very serious impact on the work of arranging air support.

It is not surprising that the problems that Panzer 272 exposed on the battlefield.

Beginning in the 90s of the 20th century, the Army of the Republic proposed to promote the reform of "informatization" while realizing "mechanization". In the first century, when "mechanization" had not yet been completed and "informatization" had just begun, the army proposed the reform of "networking." In the United States, "mechanization", "informatization" and "networking" were divided into three stages, and it took 80 years to complete the reform from the beginning of the 20th century and the 30s of the 20th century to the second 1 of the 211th century. The Republic Army has to complete the "triple jump" in just over 20 years, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Military reform is based on technology and on theory.

Only technologies that have stood the test of reality and proven to be effective are good technologies. Only theories that have been applied in actual combat and won wars are good theories.

Since the border counterattack at the end of the 20th century and the 7th century, the Republic Army has not been on the battlefield for decades.

Technology can be cumulative, but theory cannot.

For the Army of the Republic, what is lacking is not advanced military technology, but military theories that can transform technology into combat effectiveness and give the army a soul.

The battle of Panzer-272 on the 29th completely exposed the problem of the lack of military doctrine in the army of the republic.

It can be said that the real military theory was fought in war, not "studied" by a group of experts.

Compared with the US Army, if the Republic Army wants to become an invincible and invincible "land hegemon," it must sum up its own military theory on the battlefield.

Thankfully, the Republican Army picked a less formidable opponent.

With the assault on Lao Cai and Liangshan in the direction of Liangshan

As a result, Xiang Linghui quickly adjusted the tactical arrangements, and the Air Force focused on supporting the 27th Armored Brigade, and the long-range artillery of the 27th Army and the 54th Army were also sent over.

At 15 o'clock, Panzer 272 conquered Mengdong and completed the combat operation of encircling Laizhou.

At this point, all the border guards in the northern region of Vietnam were routed, and there was no longer the strength to stop the advance of the republican ** army towards Hanoi.

When the 272nd Panzer and 542nd Panzer Brigades surrounded Laizhou, the engineers of the 211th and 54th armies carried out emergency repairs to the railway stations in Quei and Bao Ha. With the help of helicopters provided by the 161st and 152nd Air Assault Brigades, the 162nd and 163rd Airborne Brigades of the defense area advanced southward with the usual tactics of air assault units to capture important military positions and towns near the railway line.

The assault of the 2 airborne forces met little resistance.

Before the republican ** team entered the country, Vietnam first sent tens of thousands of ground troops from the northwest to Laos, and then drew back most of the troops from the northern part of Hanoi. As Vu Thanh Minh fled to Ho Chi Minh City and Le Minh Giet quietly left Hanoi, the army in northern Vietnam was leaderless. In the face of the rapid assault of the ground forces of the Republic, no Vietnamese commander was willing to lead his troops north to resist.

At this point in the fighting, the Vietnamese army had no morale to speak of.

At 17:20, the Panzer 5411 Brigade and the Panzer 2111 Brigade set out from Bao Ha and Queidai respectively, and marched along the railway line to Hanoi.

In order to speed up the advance, the 162nd Airborne Brigade and the 163rd Airborne Brigade accelerated their advance.

When it was dark, the 162 Airborne Advance Reconnaissance Unit was the first to reach Vinh Yen in Hanoi, and then the 163 Airborne Brigade was the vanguard to Bac Ninh in the northeast of Hanoi.

At this point, the campaign entered the third phase.

According to the pre-planned second phase of the campaign, which is the assault on Hanoi, it took 24 to 36 hours, and it turned out to be less than 8 hours!

Unbelievable speed of marching!

The credit was not given to the offensive units of the Army of the Republic, but to the Vietnamese Army.

If the morale of the Vietnamese army is a little higher and the resistance is a little more stubborn, even if they do not put up a stubborn resistance, as long as they blow up the railway bridges and tunnels along the way, and plant more bombs and mines, the speed of the republican ** team's assault will be greatly affected, and whether it can reach Hanoi on the night of the 30th is a problem.

In the news and propaganda, international radio and television stations naturally do not mention this reason.

In the eyes of the outside world, the fighting power of the Republic Army is unbelievably strong. Many people even compared the Sun-Earth battle with the battle in which the US troops entered Iran's Khuzestan Province and attacked Abadan, and came to the conclusion that the ground combat effectiveness of the Republican Army was 1c times that of the US Army.

In fact, these 2 battles are not at all comparable.

Imagine that if there had been no civil strife in Vietnam, and if there had been no unanimity in Vietnam like Iran, let alone the easy opening of Vietnam's door, it would be a question of whether the Republic would have sent troops to Vietnam on the 29th. From this point of view, it was not the Republic that defeated Vietnam, but the internal contradictions of Vietnam.

On the night of the 29th, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi began to adjust their deployment.

According to the battle plan, the third phase of the campaign was mainly to encircle Hanoi, with the attack secondary. Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, and sooner or later Nguyen Luong Ngoc will have to go back and rebuild the regime, and if it is broken, the Republic will have to pay to help Vietnam rebuild. In order to raise the status of Nguyen Luong Ngoc, it was necessary to try to "peacefully liberate" Hanoi.

The encirclement operation was still spearheaded by 2 airborne brigades, which were transformed into "air assault forces".

Throughout the night, the main task of the army was to send armored units to the front line, gradually replacing the airborne troops, and completing the encirclement of Hanoi. In addition to this, the delivery of combat missions to the front line is also very heavy. The requirements of the armored forces for logistics support are very high, taking the armored 5411 brigade as an example, the combat consumption of one day is between 2500~:to 3000~:, and the fuel consumption alone has reached 1200~:!

Compared to the night of the 28th, the night of the 29th was much quieter.

At the moment of the great enemy, the Vietnamese army besieged in the city of Hanoi stopped the "infighting". Until this time, many Vietnamese generals and senior officers knew that Vu Thanh Minh had gone to Ho Chi Minh City and that Le Minh Giet's whereabouts were unknown.

That evening, Xu Zhengdong, who had returned to Kunming from Bangkok, received Ruan Liangyu, who had arrived in the city.

According to the plan, Nguyen Luong Ngoc would return to Vietnam before the Republic Army launched an attack on Hanoi, trying to persuade the Hanoi garrison, pacify the captured generals and senior officers, and prepare for the formation of a provisional government.

Huang Guowei and Shamaga held the first round of preparatory meetings before the formal negotiations on the evening of the 29th.

The two sides exchanged the contents of the negotiations and put forward the key points of the negotiations. Before formal negotiations, both sides must respond positively to each other's demands before discussing the details.

Because the bilateral negotiations between the Republic and Malaysia are hosted by the Thai government, secrecy will not be much better.

Leslie, who had just returned to Washington, received information from CIA Director Tredui on the morning of the 29th Eastern Time (Beijing time). Leslie then rushed to the White House to discuss with Frederick, who was overwhelmed, what to do.

For the United States, there are not many options left!

Damn it**

Asking for a monthly pass, frantically begging for a monthly pass, all fell to 50 outside! (To be continued)
