As the saying goes, you can only be handsome for three seconds.

The North Vietnamese captured the enemy's core fortress in the evening of that day. Their joyful mood lasted less than three hours...

The thing was simple: at nightfall, the South Vietnamese launched a large-scale counterattack.

The fortress group is not a military formation. Once a military formation composed of people is cut open by an impact, the soldiers will most likely break up and flee. The winner only needs to follow the broken soldiers and cut leeks.

But for things like fortresses, as long as the defenders are strong-willed, the attackers will have to take them down bit by bit, and there is no shortcut.

During World War II, most of the Soviet defense fortresses were divided and occupied by the German army, but even a month later, the sound of machine gun resistance could still be heard from many ancillary fortresses and tunnels, the most famous of which was the Brest Fortress.

This was true for World War II, and it was also true for this critical battle that took place in the seventeenth century. What's more, the North Vietnamese were far from occupying most of the enemy's fortifications.

Just before nightfall that day, the South Vietnamese launched a large-scale counterattack against Fort A7.

This counterattack showed the Yankees' disadvantage.

First of all, since Fort A7 is surrounded by enemy positions, the reinforcements can only march along the straight line opened in the morning, which limits the Yankees' numerical advantage.

For the same reason, the South Vietnamese can attack from all directions in the dark. The landowners are familiar with all passages and traps, and can assemble their troops quickly, making it easy to launch a surprise attack at any time.

There is another key factor here.

For the small and weak South Vietnam regime, the defense line of the fortress group in the north of Hue City is really the life and death line. Once this line of defense is completed, the South Vietnam separatist regime will be shut down in minutes.

Therefore, according to this concept, when the South Vietnamese originally built the fortress, they adopted a defensive idea of ​​infinitely strengthening the front and leaving the back undefended: every resource must be used on the side facing the north.

There is no need for a fortress with 360-degree defense. The Vietnamese, who have a narrow territory, will not even consider the opponent's repertoire of bypassing the defense line... If that were the case, Hue would be defeated, and the fort line would also lose its meaning.

In this way, many reasons were superimposed together. The bastion that the North Vietnamese had just acquired was snatched back by the elite cold weapon battalion of the South Vietnamese amidst the torches and shouts of death before midnight, before it had warmed up for three hours.

.

Then early the next morning, the head of a certain military aid regiment with a faint Zhuge Liang-like smile on his face graciously agreed to the request from the anxious North Vietnamese envoy: continue the bombardment.

At this point, the war against rebellion entered the second stage, and the fierce offensive and defensive tug-of-war officially began.

The South Vietnamese quickly figured out the temper of the cannon on the opposite side.

Yes, the firepower of the mortar is fierce, but the gun moves slowly and has a low firing frequency. There are obvious preparations before firing. After getting used to it, the South Vietnamese took precautions: the fortress in front of the mortar began to withdraw resources in advance.

Arrange a small number of troops on duty, accumulate firepower on the periphery, and conduct professional defensive counterattacks.

Once the North Vietnamese army attacks, the South Vietnamese will rely on the geographical location to quickly organize their troops to defend and avoid artillery damage to the maximum extent.

As a result, the war became a stalemate.

With the help of mortars, the North Vietnamese were able to knock down the fortress on the opposite side every day during the day, but at night, the Yankees who lacked a foothold were beaten back by the Yankees.

The next day, the Yankees faced the same strong fortress: the South Vietnamese would repair the fortifications at night.

There is no way, after all, the mortar fires iron balls, and it cannot completely blow the opponent's defense fortifications into rubble like the Führer's aerial bombs.

This kind of tug-of-war is extremely detrimental to the attacker. The North Vietnamese army, backed by the Zhengjiang River, not only has a long supply line, but the number of soldiers consumed by the attack every day is far more than the number of deaths of the southern defenders.

But now that the matter has come to this, we have to grit our teeth and fight on no matter what. After all, the big mortar has brought the dawn. Before this, the Yankees were helpless against this Eastern Maginot.

The northern government and the opposition were united and made every effort to attack the southern defensive line.

In the next ten days or so, North Vietnam really went all out and sacrificed all their wealth. Hundreds of thousands of troops took turns attacking the defense line regardless of casualties. At the same time, the army adopted the "occupy and fill in" approach to attack the enemy.

Adapt to the tug of war.

Finally, after paying a huge price, the North Vietnamese bulldozed the three forts in the middle of the defense line on April 5, connected them together, established temporary strongholds, and hoarded weapons and supplies.

That night, after a long battle, the Yankees made a historic move to hold the frontline stronghold and firmly inserted a wedge into the enemy's lines.

In the early morning of the next day, as the sun rose, the soldiers dispatched from the Jiangnan Camp quickly crossed the death zone in the middle of the battlefield and poured into the temporary stronghold.

By this time, it was only a matter of time before the Yankees' defense line was breached. The Yankees, who had the numerical advantage, could use the trenches to penetrate and spread to both sides. Now that the geographical advantage was equally divided between the two sides, the Yankees' previous defensive model no longer worked.

However, when the North Vietnamese general in charge of commanding the former enemy came to the tattered top of Fort A7 and looked south, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.

At this moment, in front of the general, in addition to the stone walls and fortresses extending to the left and right under his feet, another fortress line with the flag of King Nguyen of South Vietnam stood there just 200 steps away.

At the same time, with the help of imported telescopes, the general also observed the third line of defense further south, as well as the busy civilians under Hue City further away... Probably those ant-like people were definitely not repairing Disneyland.

.

...Since it is the country's only permanent defense fortification, the South Vietnamese have never promised to build only one... Over the years, the South Vietnamese have been busy with this matter, and naturally they have to do it perfectly.

.

"Please come over quickly, Your Majesty, and take a look."

After a long time, the general gave the order with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate. It's easy to be bombarded here. Your Majesty's rich body..."

"Fuck me!"

The general was furious and whipped his entourage hard: "I'm going to be driven back to Shenglong Mansion by Nan Ni. What's the point of having a rich body?"

Soon after, Prince Zheng Jie received the news and hurriedly boarded the A7 fortress with a large number of generals.

After personally observing the two fortress lines in front of him... and more importantly, personally observing the determination of the South Vietnamese people to defend their homeland and fight to the end, Prince Zheng fell silent.

In the afternoon of the same day, the military aid group camp.

On a grassland surrounded by green military canvas tents, there is green ant fresh fermented wine and a small red clay stove. Zheng Jie, the king of Qingdu in North Vietnam, dressed in silk robes, is taking a break with Commander Sheng Nansheng, tasting green military rice

Charcoal roasted coffee in a teapot.

Holding a large tea vat that emitted a strange smell, Prince Zheng, whose beard and hair had already turned gray, took a big gulp of Taiwanese coffee, which lacked sugar and milk, as if tasting nectar.

"Yes, although this tea is bitter, it has a unique taste."

Sheng Nan smiled and took a sip: "This coffee bar is mainly for refreshing. The prince drank so much, I'm afraid he won't need it during today's lunch break."

When Prince Zheng heard this, he had a sad look on his face: "Oh, now the army is trapped here, unable to advance or retreat. I am not afraid of the general's jokes. I have been unable to sleep at night recently, so why talk about lunch break!"

The princes are all rushing to drink coffee from this broken enamel jar. They must have come to ask for help because they have no other choice, so the topic will definitely turn to the current war situation.

Sheng Nan knew this very well, and he was not surprised at all when he heard the prince's slightly abrupt turn: "Oh, the prince was in a bad mood. But as far as I can see, the progress is going smoothly now. Let's add more troops."

Jin, pushing down the next line of defense is considered a success!"

"I'm joking. For a person like the general, who knows astronomy and geography, I don't believe that the general can't see the danger at hand."

When Zheng Jing said this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The weather has become hot and hot recently, and there are more and more diseases in the army. We are indigenous people, and we know that in this land on both sides of the Zhengjiang River, there will be rain in less than five days.

.At that time, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and the one hundred thousand troops will flee in confusion... Alas, my king... I am afraid that my life will not be long, brother."

When the hurried Prince Zheng said this, he glanced at the expressionless Sheng Nan, and finally he had no choice but to clasp his fists and lower his head: "This time, brother, I have brought a hundred thousand taels of gold jewelry, and it is now outside the camp gate.

Please also ask the general to save my army from fire and water!"

It's a pity that Sheng Nan has been bribed for the first time in his life... It's still a huge amount, and it's still at the level of a director. This makes the old loser feel as sour as drinking iced Coke in the dog days of summer, and her defenses are suddenly broken:

"Hahaha, the prince is flattering!"

Wiping his face, Captain Shanda's face was shocked, and his tone suddenly became much more friendly: "Well, I know the situation is critical. Then I will send an emergency report and ask my handsome family's treasure to help the prince.

"

The prince suddenly became energetic: "Oh, what is the treasure of the house?"

"The name of this object is the Plasma General, and it is a high-tech cannon. All the fortresses in Nanniang were turned into gray with one shot!"

"Is there such a strange thing in the world?"

Seeing that the prince did not believe it, Commander Sheng had a look of disdain on his face. He immediately stretched out his arms and made a circle the size of a wheel: "It's just that the muzzle of the cannon is so thick. After all, it is the treasure of my family's commander-in-chief! Your Majesty, this is

Once it goes down, it will be rotten for miles, no joke at all!"

Prince Zheng's eyes flashed, he grabbed the leader's hand and shook it up and down: "Brother, please quickly use the magic weapon to save my brother's life!"

Of course, Sheng Nan couldn't say that the divine object was already waiting in the cabin on the outer sea at this time: "Well... it's just, this... Brother, you know, this is the treasure of the house, it's

Jinggui, please do it once... I'm afraid this won't be easy, don't you think so?"

Zheng Jie dismissed this.

In other words, in this war against rebellion, the North Vietnamese regime really put everything on the line. In this situation, no matter what conditions Sheng Nan proposed, it didn't matter to Zheng Zhi, as long as it could defeat the rebellion in the south.

At this moment, Zheng Zhi was like a red-eyed gambler who had staked all his property and was looking for the last chip. It was already like this, and he didn't care at all how high the interest rate would be raised by the moneylender.

Isn't it just a routine loan? Your Majesty, I'll take it, tell me, do you want it?

"Brother, you might as well tell me how I can borrow that magical object from your commander-in-chief?"

Faced with the prince's desperate behavior, Sheng Nan did not ask for money, but followed the original plan, pulled out the map and drew a circle on it with his finger: "If the prince can borrow troops to go to the big city after the country is settled, then...
Chapter completed!
