Chapter 379: Hanoi Is Ahead

"Boom, boom, boom!" Along with the sharp sound of artillery fire, rockets flew over from the sky like fireworks.

The battlefield was exploded with deadly shrapnel everywhere, burying the bodies in the trenches, and the Vietnamese soldiers were trembling all over.

Fast, indescribably fast, fierce, inexplicably fierce! No one expected that the Chinese army's attack would be so powerful!

In just ten days, the Chinese army reached Hanoi! The Vietnamese army barely organized a line of defense. They had no way to retreat. Once they failed, Hanoi would be conquered by the Chinese army!

"Charge!" As the artillery coverage ended, there was a huge shout of killing from the other side. Countless Chinese troops appeared from the plains, holding red flags high, jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the position here!

"Da da, da da da." At the machine gun position, a Vietnamese soldier climbed up and pulled the bolt of the machine gun.

Several Chinese soldiers who rushed in the front immediately fell in a pool of blood, and the soldiers behind them quickly lay down.

"Zhang Ming, Liu He, kill it! The others provide cover!" the company commander shouted loudly, aiming the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand at the machine gun position opposite and firing continuously.

Zhang Ming and Liu He crawled slowly towards the machine gun position. After crawling forward for dozens of meters, Zhang Ming took out a grenade, pulled the string, and then threw it out!

"Boom!" With the explosion, the machine gun position over there was instantly silenced.

"Charge, charge!" the company commander shouted loudly.

Without the company commander's shouting, the rest of the people had already climbed up and rushed forward, and Zhang Ming and Liu He were the first to rush forward at a fast pace.

"Kill you all!" At this moment, the machine gun on the opposite side suddenly sounded again, and Zhang Ming and Liu He, who were in the front, fell in a pool of blood. Using the last bit of his strength, dragging his broken leg, Zhang Ming continued to crawl forward, crawling forward until he reached the machine gun position, then pulled out his bayonet and swung it over!

The reflection of the bayonet shone into the machine gunner's eyes. The machine gunner saw the waving bayonet and instantly raised his arm, pulled Zhang Ming's arm, and smashed it against the wall of the trench, knocking the bayonet off with two hard hits.

Zhang Ming, who had lost too much blood, no longer had any strength left. His vision was blurred as he looked at the machine gunner opposite him. She had a plump chest and fair skin. She was a female soldier.

The female soldier skillfully smashed Zhang Ming's head against the wall, knocking him unconscious twice. Then, she picked up the bayonet on the ground and was about to stab it into Zhang Ming's chest with experienced techniques.

"Da." At this moment, the company commander finally rushed up, opened fire with the 56mm half-gun in his hand, and killed the Vietnamese female soldier.

War is not far from women! Years of war have left Vietnam with a shortage of men, and many women have also gone to the battlefield. At the beginning, the Chinese army still had sympathy for the female soldiers, but after being shot and killed by female soldiers many times, they also became hard-hearted!

Charge, keep charging, ahead is Hanoi!

Later generations often joked that the Iran-Iraq War was a war fought in the era of World War II or even World War I with advanced high-tech weapons. In fact, the Vietnam War was no different. During the entire Vietnam War, all battles were fought on the ground, with almost no air cover, no precision-guided weapons, and no advanced leapfrog tactics. In many cases, human lives were used to fill the gaps...

The Chinese army has already reached Hanoi! The Vietnamese government was like an ant on a hot pot. At the United Nations, Vietnamese representatives began to accuse the Chinese army of atrocities. They were invaders and were about to reach the Vietnamese capital! However, the United Nations ignored Vietnam's cry.

Who cares about you? You are just a follower of the Soviet Union. The United States suffered a lot in Vietnam, so why would it help you? Among the five big gangsters, only France made a few noises, claiming that it wanted the United Nations to coordinate and reasonably resolve the dispute.

Under such circumstances, Vietnam's hope could only be placed on the Soviet Union, and a delegation urgently came to Moscow.

"The Chinese army has reached Hanoi. We hope Moscow will help us resolve this dispute." The Vietnamese representative said to the Soviet diplomat.

"You did not inform us in Moscow before invading Cambodia. Moreover, we also informed you in advance about China's intention to use force, but you always turned a deaf ear to it. Now, you remember us again and want us to solve the problem?" Gromyko looked at the Vietnamese representative as if he were an idiot.

In the past, the Soviet Union would have regarded Vietnam as very important, but now, apart from Cam Ranh Bay, there is nothing the Soviet Union needs in Vietnam.

"Yes, it was our mistake before. Now, we need Moscow's support," said the Vietnamese representative.

"If you want us, the Soviet Union, to intervene, that's fine. Here is an agreement. Once you sign the agreement, we can contact Beijing and we can sit down together to resolve the dispute," Gromyko said.

Agreement? The Vietnamese representative flipped through the content and leased Cam Ranh Bay to the Soviet Union for 100 rubles per year for 50 years! The oil platforms along the coast were delivered to the Soviet Union for joint exploitation...

These conditions are simply taking advantage of the situation! I used to think that following the Soviet Union was like following a powerful backer, but now, I didn’t expect the Soviets to be so hateful! The Soviet Union is simply robbing!

"If you don't agree, then the matter is over. We, the Soviet Union, have no intention of helping you mediate." Gromyko said, "We still have a lot of things to do. Why don't you ask the United States if it is willing to help you mediate?"

America! Vietnam beat the Americans so badly, will America come to help mediate? Don't dream, if the Americans really want to mediate, who knows what kind of demands they will make! It must be more than the Soviet Union! Vietnam's policy has always been to lean towards the Soviet Union. Now, there is no other way out except relying on the Soviet Union.

"Okay, we agree to these demands." The Vietnamese representative gave in. After all, if Vietnam was destroyed by China, they would have nothing. Vietnam was able to defeat the United States because it had the support of the Soviet Union and China! Without support, Vietnam would have no hope at all.

Watching the Vietnamese delegation sign, Gromyko felt amused in his heart. Andrei was really right. With Cam Ranh Bay, the Soviet armed forces would be able to play a role in Southeast Asia and control the golden waterway. Let's see how the Western world will survive in the future!

In this conflict in Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union was the actual beneficiary. China acquiesced, Vietnam compromised, and the Soviet Union occupied Cam Ranh Bay.

Americans, are you disgusted again?
