readx; April 11, Hanoi, Republic of Vietnam. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He Minglun stepped on the muddy streets, his face showed a look of disgust, this feeling of stepping on the muddy streets seemed to be the same as when he went to Peking in his early years, the ghost place was the same, almost the entire city was full of dirty words, so that He Minglun's disgust for Beiping was second only to London. And now, the city that he hates the most has to add Hanoi.

"Those French people have been in Hanoi for so many years, why don't they build a cleaner and tidier street!" He Minglun pulled out his feet in military boots from the mud that was half a foot deep, and when he pulled it out, he seemed to see a lot of unsightly garbage in the mud.

A second lieutenant next to him, who was also wearing a combat uniform, spoke: "These barbarians know the important surname of cleanliness and hygiene! Captain, don't complain! ”

"Damn the weather, damn the Vietnamese!" He Minglun cursed again, and then turned his head and shouted to a group of soldiers beside him: "Brothers of the Marine Corps, come on, hurry up, victory is in front of our eyes!" ”

The military uniform worn by this small unit led by Captain He Minglun is different from the common Chinese army uniform, the standard color of the Chinese army's military uniform is brown-green, while the color of the military uniform of this unit is gray-green, although it looks similar from a distance, but the difference is still very large, and this gray-green military uniform is the color of the combat uniform of the Chinese Marine Corps.

In many branches of the Chinese military, the main color of the combat uniform of ground personnel is mainly green, of course, there are some differences in details, such as the Marine Corps combat uniform pants There are two black lines, but the army does not. The dress of the Chinese army is still mainly brown and green, while the navy is mainly navy blue, and the air force is mainly white, as a subordinate branch of the three major services, the officer dress of the guard division is mainly brown and green, but the cuffs are more gold-edged, and the marine corps is navy blue, but the pants are sky blue.

There are a lot of military uniforms in the middle [***] team with complete military branches, including combat uniforms, regular uniforms, and ceremonial uniforms of the three armed forces, and the three armed forces will be subdivided into soldier uniforms, non-commissioned officer uniforms, officer uniforms, general uniforms, etc.

The unit in front of him wearing gray-green combat uniforms is the Third Division of the Chinese Marine Corps, which is one of only three Marine Divisions in the Navy.

The ground units of the navy are built for the purpose of conducting large-scale ground wars, but the primary task of the marines is to land on enemy territory from the sea, and the operations after the landing are still secondary.

Originally, the navy wanted to build more marines, and to build a large marine corps like today's navy, in an attempt to cover the landing operations and large-scale field operations after the landing, but this made the army resolutely oppose.

In Chen Yi's words: "It is your navy's business to cover the landing of the army, and the ground battle after the landing is the business of our army!" ”

In order to restrict the large-scale development of the navy and the marine forces, the army not only openly opposed it, but finally even imposed restrictions on the marine corps in military equipment, such as tanks, military trucks, artillery, etc. In the end, the navy had to develop all kinds of weapons and equipment needed by the Marine Corps on its own, but the funds required for the research and development of new weapons were not small, and the group of people in the Navy Department of Ship Administration designed warships and carrier-based aircraft were also okay, but it was obviously a mistake to let them design tanks, and it was somewhat funny to let a large group of shipbuilding experts design tanks. In addition, the Navy's main financial investment is still on warships, and the Marine Corps is only secondary, and finally it was forced to accept the Army's proposal to limit the size of the Marine Corps to three divisions, but the Navy also put forward a request, requiring the Army Equipment Department to cooperate with the Navy in designing and developing various equipment required by the Marine Corps.

The army has reluctantly agreed to this, and the various equipment required by the Marine Corps has actually been developed by the army, because the Chinese army is huge, in addition to considering large-scale ground field operations, it has also fully considered landing operations, and has specially built several divisions for sea-crossing and landing operations, such as the 47th Division, the 21st Division, and the 33rd Division, which are amphibious units in the Chinese Army, not only for sea-crossing training, etc. The weapons equipped are also more suitable for landing operations and amphibious operations, which is the same as the weapons and equipment required by the Marine Corps.

Although the army needs the support of the army for various reasons, other training systems are different, such as the training of officers, and the navy has set up a marine academy to train officers of the marine corps.

In this operation against Southeast Asian countries, since the army is the main force, the navy only cooperates in the operation, but we must not let the army take the lead and scratch the navy to do nothing. Therefore, in order to reap the merits of the war, the navy did not let the army's amphibious units cooperate, but launched a landing operation with its own marines.

Yesterday, the 3rd Marine Division, with the support and cooperation of the 2nd Task Force, composed of the 4th Cruiser Fleet and the 3rd Air Fleet, carried out a large-scale landing in Hanoi. At that time, only one battalion of the 3rd Marine Division was put into landing, and more troops were still on the ship.

Not every country's troops can hold out under the blows of many naval guns and dozens of aircraft, if it is replaced by the troops of the British army or the United States, perhaps the Chinese landing force will need to pay a heavy price to be able to land successfully, but the Vietnamese army was just a guerrilla force before, even after the founding of the country, it was formed as the Vietnamese National Defense Force, and it also received a lot of Chinese military aid, but in essence, they still did not get rid of the guerrillas' surname, and they were simply unable to play large-scale field warfare.

It took less than half a day for the Chinese landing force to defeat the Vietnamese beachhead counterattack, and the remaining half a day was spent on setting up temporary docks and unloading a large amount of equipment from the Third Division.

At night, the 3rd Division, with the strength of one regiment, once again defeated the main force of the Vietnamese army in Hanoi, and by the next day, the main force of the 3rd Division had completely controlled Hanoi.

How to fight quickly has once again fully demonstrated the gap in combat effectiveness between the troops of modern industrial countries and the troops of backward agricultural countries.

As one of the first troops to attack Hanoi, the Marine Company led by Captain Ho Minh Lun was ordered to rush to the site of the political axe of the Republic of Vietnam and arrest the authorities.

However, when He Minglun arrived at the location of the presidential palace of the Republic of Vietnam, he found that many people had fled, and only a few people were left who could not escape in time or were unwilling to escape, and of course most of them were pro-China officials.

Although Nguyen An Dong of the Republic of Vietnam has vigorously attacked other forces in the past year in an attempt to weaken China's influence in the Republic of Vietnam, the time is too short, and Chen Jingyun is not an old man, so he will not sit back and watch these pro-China forces be easily eliminated by Nguyen An Dong.

"This Nguyen An Tong, everything else is fine, but his ambition is too big, if he hadn't thought about reunifying Vietnam all day long, how could he have come up with today's thing!" On the Songshan, Vice Admiral Chen Jiliang shook his head and sighed, Chen Jiliang was extremely opposed to supporting these national readers in his early years, believing that sooner or later these readers would embark on the road of confronting China: "If we had known such a result back then, we might as well have directly occupied Southeast Asia last year." ”

Chen Jiliang was not considered a core faction in the navy, and like other high-ranking generals in the navy of the Republic in his early years, he was also born in the former Qing navy, and was also a native of Fuzhou, he joined the revolution during the Wuchang Uprising, and then joined the navy of the national army like most naval officers. And like the vast majority of naval officers back then, he did not have any good impression of Chen Jingyun, nor did he have any good impression of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, but purely because Chen Jingyun controlled the Chinese Navy, and most of these naval officers at that time defected to Chen Jingyun for the development of the Chinese Navy and their own development.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Jiliang was sent to study in the United Kingdom, and during his internship in the British Navy, he participated in the world-famous Battle of Deland as a military observer. Together with more than a dozen other military observers of the Chinese Navy who also participated in the Battle of Yudeland, they provided the Chinese Navy with the most detailed information on naval battles and became an important material for the Chinese Navy to study the course of the Battle of Yudeland. It also allowed China to gain valuable experience in the Battle of Deland, made great contributions to the subsequent development of the navy, and directly influenced China to order two high-speed battleships from the United States.

After returning to China, and during China's intervention in the Russian Civil War, the Chinese Navy sent a task force to Vladivostok to support the Russian White Army, and Chen Jiliang was appointed lieutenant commander of the 12-year-old destroyer DD in this task force.

During the First Sino-Chinese War, he served as the captain of the cruiser CL05 Fuchang under the Second Cruiser Fleet, and was promoted to rear admiral in 1927.

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the Fourth Cruiser Fleet and participated in the Sino-Chinese naval and air battles that made countless naval generals famous overseas.

It was with this qualification that he was able to successfully be promoted to lieutenant general in 1938 amid many obstacles, otherwise he would have been laid off along with many old-school officers.

In the past few decades, Chen Jingyun has been working hard to support the new admirals and weaken the power of the old admirals, and the successive retirement of Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang can be seen as the old admirals are losing their influence in the navy.

At present, the core generals of the navy are mostly generals from the Nanjing Naval Military Academy established by Chen Jingyun after 1915, and the generals of the former Qing faction have retired one after another because of their age.

After being promoted to vice admiral, Chen Jiliang held several posts in accordance with naval tradition, and was transferred to the Second Fleet this year as deputy commander. After the outbreak of war in Southeast Asian countries, the Chinese Navy urgently formed the First Task Force, that is, the First Air Fleet as the core, to go to the Gulf of Thailand, and at the same time formed the Second Task Force, that is, the Songshan and the Fourth Cruiser Fleet, which had jurisdiction over the Third Air Fleet, and carried the Third Marine Division to prepare for a landing operation in Hanoi.
