    [394] Bayard Battle Group After Ho Chi Minh left, General Chen immediately sent a telegram to the Central Committee regarding the current form of the struggle. The Central Committee¡¯s reply was also very clear. The Chairman instructed: ¡°the enemy¡¯s intention is to reoccupy Dong Xi.  Inevitably, this gives us an opportunity for mobile warfare. Your opinion is correct. The enemy must provide reinforcements. If we can annihilate a large number of the enemy's effective forces in the battle for the border, food will not be a problem.  It can be paid immediately with a loan from the Viet Minh The issues raised by Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang before must be taken seriously After the completion of the border war, the Central Committee will seriously discuss with Comrade Ho Chi Minh the details of party and army consolidation in Vietnam In order to strengthen  For the assistance of Vietnamese comrades, the second batch of 374 military advisory groups to Vietnam has set off for the Taiyuan base in Vietnam" After receiving the chairman's call back, the Viet Minh immediately calmed down. Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap had no more words. As for whether they had any concerns in their hearts.  Dissatisfied, General Chen couldn't care less.  Under Ho Chi Minh's insistence, even though the base areas in the rear were swept away by the French army, their old nests were taken away, and the local party organizations fled into the mountains, the Viet Minh troops still waited calmly at the ambush point, hoping in the unbearable jungle.  The appearance of the French army.  In order to further mobilize the French army, General Chen ordered the 174th Regiment Artillery Battalion to conduct a feint to the south of Qixi, and used small artillery groups to conduct scattered shelling to harass the Qixi defenders.  The scattered, sparse and inaccurate shelling caused the French army to think. After discovering that the Viet Minh's offensive power was so decadent, the French army could not sit still.  Colonel Leba, the commander-in-chief of the Qixi garrison, analyzed that the Viet Minh armed forces intended to contain the French army in Qixi, and the real intention of the attack was to capture Gaoping, which had been besieged by everyone.  He reported his analysis to Admiral Leivos in Hanoi.  On the thirteenth day, Colonel Leba was ordered to take action. In order to rescue the two battalions of Colonel Sakdon with more than 1,600 people who were besieged in Gaoping City, Colonel Leba ordered the original Qixi garrison to continue to defend Qixi.  The first paratrooper battalion took the lead, and he personally led the two Moroccan battalions supported from Liangshan as the main force, advancing towards Dongxi in an attempt to recapture Dongxi again.  General Revos gave Colonel Leba's offensive force the code name - "Bayard Battle Group". Bayard means brave knight. Obviously, General Revos placed a lot of hope on Colonel Leba.  High hopes.  At the same time, General Revos also asked Colonel Sacdon, who was besieged in Gaoping, to destroy the living supplies and heavy weapons that could not be taken away, and break out to the south with all his strength. He also told Sacdon that when he broke through to Dongxi, he would welcome  His will be Colonel Leba who re-captured Dongxi.  ?????????????"BeepBeepBeep" In the Viet Minh headquarters, the telegram kept ringing.  Hu Zhiming looked happy, stood next to General Chen, looked at the map and said: "Old Chen, as expected, the French are still reluctant to part with Dongxi! Their previous raids on the base area were just to lure the tigers away from the mountains. This time they finally  Can't wait any longer, everyone is dispatched!" General Chen smiled and nodded to Ho Chi Minh.  In the past few days, comrades from the Chinese advisory groups assigned to various units have been coming to report to General Chen that all kinds of weird things are happening in the Viet Minh troops.  Some people say strangely that if the base area is gone, how can we continue to fight in the future?  Some simply said that the reason why the Chinese comrades did not blow up Dongxi and retreat was because they hoped that the Vietnamese troops would withdraw completely to the north, hide in the mountains behind the defense line on Highway 4, fight guerrillas, and abandon the current hard-earned base areas.  Some people ask why China wants them to attack Gaoping and Dongxi in the northwest region instead of directly attacking the Red River Delta?  This is to eliminate the Kuomintang army-turned-bandits entrenched in the northwest region and consolidate China's borders.  There is no point in conquering a poor place like the northwest.  It would be satisfying to directly liberate the Red River Delta, and it would also cut off the connection between the French and Vietnamese troops and the southern army.  Some people even say that the comrades of the China [Fucking] Affairs Advisory Group only hope to turn the Viet Minh armed forces into China¡¯s watchdogs in the south and do not care about the national liberation of Vietnam.  General Chen remembered the information written in the information sent by Secretary Cao before entering Vietnam: "In the Vietnamese army controlled by Vo Nguyen Giap, generally speaking, cadres are not promoted from soldiers who fought bravely, but are basically promoted from students.  They are all the "scholars" that "Brother Wen" likes. These people are good at talking, but they are timid in fighting. They are neither good at tactics nor brave. They rely entirely on forcing the soldiers below to fill in their surnames to fight  ¡­¡± General Chen, who had been under pressure and angry during this period, finally waited for the day when the French army entered the urn.  "Lao Hu, I will leave the headquarters of the base area to you. I will go to the frontline headquarters and personally direct the battle. I will definitely win with Vo Nguyen Giap's propaganda alone."I don't feel at ease at all if I talk to him and promise success.  " Hu Zhiming held General Chen's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Old Chen, I don't know much about military things. You can figure it out.  I leave victory to you!  "After that, the two held hands tightly and said nothing. When the Bayard battle group led by Colonel Leba entered the 615 heights south of Dongxi, the battle started. The Viet Minh 209 and 174 regiments  According to the battle plan, the operation began at dark, and in the early morning, a paratrooper battalion of Colonel Leba and two Moroccan battalions were surrounded by a total of 2,000 French troops.  The military casualties have reached more than 400. In terms of combat effectiveness, the 1st Paratrooper Battalion of the Foreign Legion is the strongest among the Bayard Combat Group. This unit employs a large number of German veterans after World War II and has rich combat experience, but the 1st Paratrooper Battalion of the Foreign Legion is the strongest.  The first paratrooper battalion has only 500 people. In comparison, the Moroccan 1st and 11th battalions, with a total strength of 1,600, except for the officers who are French whites, the soldiers are all black North African recruits who have just been recruited by the French.  They were brought from Morocco in a hurry. After being surrounded by the Viet Minh army, the first to collapse was naturally not the first paratrooper battalion, but the two Moroccan battalions behind them, black recruits with no combat experience.  Like cannon fodder, he suffered heavy losses from the sudden attack by the Viet Minh. With a piece of bread, Colonel Leba dug out the last spoonful of rotten beef from the can and stuffed it into his mouth.  He figured it out, so he stood up and ordered in the hastily dug trench: "We can't continue to waste it like this. The Vietnamese want to slowly kill us after surrounding us.  We now quickly break out of the encirclement to the south and retreat to Shegu to reorganize our defenses!  " As Colonel Leba's order was issued, the first paratrooper battalion in the Bayard battle group, which acted as the forward, turned to the rear, while the two Moroccan battalions withdrew their troops, broke out and fled backward. Seeing the French army beginning to prepare for a breakout, the Chinese artillery instructor  They knew that it was time to increase their firepower. The mortars they commanded continued to bloom on the French positions, and the explosions shook the trench where Colonel Leba was. The branches spread over the trench were shaking and dust was flying.
