Chapter 1098: Desperate Situation
"Quick! Fast! Those Chinese lackeys are approaching here, and we must move immediately. "One of the leaders of the Indochina guerrillas named Le Yin looked anxious. Their camp was originally in the hinterland of the guerrilla-controlled area of Indochina. However, the Annam Army has been advancing very fast in the past few days, and it will soon make their camp already threatened.
A large number of partisans began to pack their bags and then carry the necessary baggage for the transfer. For the Indochinese guerrillas, it was now a matter of life and death. If you don't retreat, once you are caught up by the Annam Army, there will be only a dead end.
Preparations were finally completed, and thousands of partisans began to leave the camp and retreat northwest along the forest path. The Annam Army sent three infantry divisions to encircle and suppress them, and the Indochinese guerrillas were simply unable to confront them. In the case of heavy losses, it was only possible to retreat. The Nanzhang Kingdom in the northwest was less geographically poor, less populous, and militarily weaker. If they were able to escape there, they might have a chance to survive. If you're lucky, it's not impossible to make a comeback.
It's just that it's not so easy to escape to the Nanzhang Kingdom. The Nanzhang Kingdom has already dispatched two main regiments to block this section of the border. In addition, the Annan Army pursued it even more. Of course, the vitality of the Indochinese guerrillas was also very tenacious. At the beginning, the French also launched a long encirclement and suppression of them, but they still persisted.
After leaving the camp, the Indochinese guerrillas fled quickly, and no one expected that they were still getting closer and closer to the trap laid by the Black Dragon special operations detachment.
"Boom!" An explosion suddenly remembered. I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the ranks of the Indochinese guerrillas. Several partisans were killed on the spot, and several others were injured.
"Enemy attack! Run! The enemy is coming. This caused a panic among the partisans. Now, because they are constantly defeated, they have become frightened birds.
"Come back, come back to me." Li Yin said angrily. If the guerrillas were allowed to escape, his team would collapse.
"Come back, everyone, it's just a landmine." The squad leader of one of the partisans yelled loudly.
"Smack!" A crisp gunshot rang out. I saw that the squad leader's head was like a watermelon, and it exploded all at once.
"Snipers, snipers with enemies." Frightened cries followed. Li Yin was immediately pressed to the ground by the guards.
Immediately, gunshots rang out one after another. However, it was all a single shot. The snipers of the Black Dragon Special Operations Detachment are attacking the Indochinese guerrillas from a long distance. The sniper rifles they use, which were specially equipped by the Imperial Army, were able to ensure accurate hits from up to 800 meters away. It is not difficult for some people with accurate marksmanship to hit the enemy from a distance of a thousand meters.
"Order our men to charge, otherwise, they will block here, and once we are caught up by the Annam Army, we will die." Li Yin hid behind a tree and gave orders. He could tell from the sound of gunfire that the troops blocking them were not large, and they were probably small local elite troops. As long as they can defeat the forces in front of them, they will be able to escape.
"Rush!" Heroic guerrilla soldiers, cats charged at the waist. However, they were greeted by a dense barrage of bullets or grenades. The Black Dragon Special Operations Detachment of the Imperial Army is equipped with the latest assault rifles developed by the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army is planning to phase out the old rifles and replace them with such assault rifles in the coming years. In this way, the firepower of the Imperial Army will be further increased. A grenade is a gun grenade. When the special operations detachments are operating, they cannot write about heavy weapons, and their weapons are almost always light and reliable. In order to strengthen the firepower of the special operations detachment, the Imperial Army specially developed rifle grenades for use as close fire support.
"Poof! Poof! Blood flowers bloomed on the chests of the guerrillas. After being shot, they fell to the ground and died on the way to the charge.
Although the Imperial Army's Black Dragon Special Operations Detachment was small in number, with the help of terrain and firepower, it successfully blocked this guerrilla force, making it impossible for them to evacuate at all.
As the minutes passed, the Annam Army was about to arrive, and the charge of the Indochinese guerrillas became more and more fierce. However, they were still blocked by the Black Dragon Special Operations Detachment of the Imperial Army, and they couldn't move forward even a single step. The only result is probably a corpse left in the dense forest.
Two hours later, two regiments of the Annam Army arrived and surrounded and annihilated the remnants of the guerrillas. In the face of the encirclement and annihilation of the superior forces of the Annam Army, the remnants of the guerrillas could not be stopped at all.
In this battle, this guerrilla force of more than 1,000 people was completely lost, except for a very small number of leading figures such as Li Yin who fled in the end, the rest were either killed or captured.
The special forces of the Imperial Army also became completely famous in this battle. With a force of more than 50 people, it blocked the attack of more than 1,000 people for more than two hours. More than 300 enemies were killed, but their own casualties were very small. The combat effectiveness of this unit is undoubtedly very terrifying.
This also proves that the Imperial Army was completely right in forming special forces. In areas with complex terrain, the combat effectiveness of this special forces will increase exponentially. The Indochinese guerrillas were quite formidable, but after the addition of two special operations units of the Imperial Army, they were defeated and retreated. Either the location was exposed and it was besieged by the Annam Army, or the logistics distribution center was attacked and suffered heavy losses.
Under such a blow, the Indochinese guerrillas were so dazed that they were unable to organize a powerful counterattack, and could only watch as their casualties increased and the situation deteriorated step by step.
A valley on the Borofen Plateau became the temporary headquarters of the Indochinese guerrillas. The remnants of the Indochinese guerrillas, head retreated here. However, now they have less than seven thousand troops. There are also many people who are injured. There is also a serious shortage of weapons and equipment, and food and medicine are even more scarce. Without them, they wouldn't have been able to stay in the jungle for long.
Ruan Aiguo sat in his place, his face black as if he was the bottom of a pot. He knew that the Indochina guerrilla force he had now created had reached the most dangerous juncture. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed.
"Everyone, let's talk about it, what are we going to do now? The enemy is coming in and it will be difficult for us to resist their attack. Ruan Aiguo said. Although, one does not understand the military. However, this does not mean that he is not blind to the unfavorable situation in front of him.
"Comrade Commander, we are already surrounded by the enemy. The Annamite, the Khmer and the Namzhang all sent troops to surround us. It's just that the Annam people are the main force attacking us, and the Khmer and Nanzhang people are just defense. We should find a way to break out of the enemy's encirclement, and only then can we continue to resist. Wu Yuan proposed.
"No, we can't leave this area. Here we have a large number of people who support us. If you evacuate to an unfamiliar area, you will have to start all over again. Besides, many people in other places have been deceived by Chinese imperialism and do not believe us. If we evacuate here, we will become rootless and will soon be wiped out by them. "Objections have been raised.
"If we don't go, how can we resist the enemy's attack? By the few thousand we have left? The enemy will be able to defeat us with two regiments at will. What's more, the Annam Army, which was the main attack this time, had three infantry divisions and nine main infantry regiments. Together with the troops directly under the division headquarters, it is already more than seven times as much as ours. Wu Yuan said. Although, he has already been relieved of his duties. However, as one of the senior leaders of the Indochinese guerrillas, no one could prevent him from expressing his opinion.
"Escape, you are running away. If we lose this base, we will soon lose everything due to the loss of support. Only in the vast mountainous areas here and around the enemy will we have a chance. Adviser Yakov said.
"Circling? What do we do to deal with the enemy? Is it just a few thousand remnants of the army that are now defeated? In the end, I'm afraid all of us will have to die. Wu Yuan said dissatisfiedly. Yakov and Ivanov, two guys who did not understand the actual situation in Indochina at all, but always pointed fingers, were very dissatisfied, and in their opinion, if it were not for their indiscriminate command, they might not have failed at all.
"You're bewitching the military. Comrade Commander, I strongly recommend that this guy be locked up. Ivanov roared.
"Comrade Advisor, please stop being angry, Comrade Wu Yuan didn't mean that." Ruan Aiguo hurriedly played a round.
However, this approach is clearly not a no-go. On the one hand, it is simply impossible to reconcile the contradictions between the two factions. On the other hand, it will also divide the remnants of the Indochinese guerrillas.
"Comrade Commander, I suggest that we redefine the next combat plan. If we continue like this, we will lose. Li Yin, who has been dying for a lifetime, also suggested.
"Li Yin? You lost thousands of valiant partisans, and you yourself escaped. Do cowards like you still have the face to come back? I suggest that Le Yin be removed from his post and that he be investigated to see if he had acted in a way that harmed the interests of the guerrillas in the previous battles. Adviser Ivanov also said. (To be continued.) )
