51: The troops arrived at the capital of Yuehou, shocking the world!

After reporting the battle situation to Yanjing, General Xu Liyou once again stood in front of the operational map.

Compared to his previous solemn expression, this time he was full of vigor and ready to command!

Back in the self-defense counterattack against the White Elephant Country, the Dragon Country Army achieved a decisive victory in just 32 days.

Facing the might of the Dragon Country Army, the White Elephant Country was so scared that it even began to discuss relocating its capital.

The International Community was universally shocked by the powerful combat capability of the Dragon Country Army.

And this time, in the self-defense counterattack against the Viet Cong, the Army's performance was undoubtedly even more impressive!

After Xinhua News Agency, on behalf of the government, sent out a worldwide telegram, they quickly and overwhelmingly broke through all of the Viet Cong's defenses in a short period!

The so-called “Oriental Maginot Line” was like paper under the powerful combat capability of the Dragon Country Army!

The Dragon Country's military might was now pointing directly at the Viet Cong Capital!

“Chief Consultant Peng Lin, come and see, how should our Army approach the Viet Cong Capital next?”

General Xu Liyou looked at Peng Lin and asked him.

In this battle, Peng Lin not only showcased his talent in military industrial research and development but also displayed his strategic brilliance to the fullest!

He highly valued Peng Lin's operational opinions.

“Lạng Sơn, Dong Dang, and other places are 130 kilometers from Hanoi City, the Viet Cong Capital; they no longer have any natural defenses to rely on.”

“Currently, the first thing our Army needs to do is a large-scale reorganization.”

“And with Lạng Sơn and Dong Dang as core hubs, establish three levels of supply points.”

“Also, while requisitioning the Viet Cong's remaining oil storage facilities, our Army must also set up field oil pipelines!”

“Once all logistical supplies are ready, our Army should advance with the Type 59 tank units as the core, equipped with motorized infantry!”

“In addition, an engineering support echelon should urgently repair damaged roads, and the pontoon bridge units should be brought up to achieve a daily front-line advance of over 50 kilometers!”

Peng Lin pointed to various locations on the map, analyzing carefully.

He believed that the general offensive must be swift, and under no circumstances should it be allowed to turn into a war of attrition with the Viet Cong leveraging aid from the Soviet Union.

And now, since the Viet Cong no longer had any natural defenses, the strategy should shift to a steady and incremental advance!

When advancing into the vast plains ahead, ensuring the supply of logistical materials was crucial.

The saying, “Troops and horses move, provisions go first,” illustrates this very principle.

After listening to Peng Lin's analysis, General Xu Liyou's eyes instantly lit up.

“It's easy to buy a thousand soldiers, but hard to find one general!”

“Chief Consultant Peng Lin's operational skill is definitely above my own as a general!”

The Old General did not hide his admiration, exclaiming.

If it weren't for the country's greater need for talent in industrial and military industrial construction.

He even genuinely wanted to transfer Peng Lin to his command to personally mentor him.

With Peng Lin's age in his early twenties, coupled with the rich experience gained from commanding the self-defense counterattack against the Viet Cong.

He believed Peng Lin absolutely had the potential to be a commander in the future!

“Chief, you flatter me!”

Peng Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile.

He was able to consistently anticipate the enemy because he understood and was familiar with this war.

Peng Lin never denied that he was a genius in military industrial research and development.

But in military command, he was definitely not as good as Old General Xu Liyou, a founding general who had experienced hundreds of battles.

“Chief Consultant Peng Lin, there's no need to be modest; your advance plan is meticulous!”

“Since that's the case, we will proceed with this operational plan and advance towards the Viet Cong Capital!”

General Xu Liyou issued orders to the operations staff.

“Chief, I have another suggestion.”

“I suggest that our 300,000 logistical troops also be moved into Viet Cong territory!”

“All the military equipment that our Dragon Country aided the Viet Cong with, such as artillery, firearms, ammunition, communication equipment, etc., we must take back.”

“The railways and other facilities we built for the Viet Cong must be dismantled, and the tracks transported back to our country.”

“As for steel beams and bridge piers of roads that cannot be taken, they should be prepared to be destroyed during withdrawal.”

“Engineering equipment and mechanical vehicles that were aid must be taken away, and even facilities like steel mills, fertilizer plants, power plants, cement factories, and everything else that cannot be taken must all be blown up…”

Peng Lin said with a fierce look in his eyes.

And his suggestion immediately resonated with everyone in the command room.

Not to mention these industrial facilities, but in terms of civilian facilities alone, Dragon Country had aided the Viet Cong with 320 townships, 735 schools, 38 forest farms, and so on.

However, during the war, the Viet Cong mobilized all their people.

All these people transformed into militias, ambushing and raiding the Dragon Country's Army.

Some even strapped bombs to themselves to die with Dragon Country soldiers.

The 20 billion dollars spent only raised little wolf cubs!

Everything that could be taken away must be taken away!

What couldn't be taken away must all be destroyed!

“I agree!”

“I also support Chief Consultant Peng Lin's suggestion!”

“An eye for an eye, direct scorched earth policy, destroy the Viet Cong's industrial base, set their economy back at least 15 years…”

One by one, the operations staff agreed.

“Good!”

“I will personally give the order to bring up the logistical troops to transport our aid materials!”

General Xu Liyou said… At the same time.

10 AM Eastern Time.

The White House.

When news arrived that the Dragon Country Army had achieved a great victory in the Viet Cong battlefield, completely breaking through defenses like Dong Dang and Lạng Sơn.

Officials in the USA The White House and senior military officers in The Pentagon were all shocked.

This war had started at dawn yesterday in the USA.

How long ago was that!

But the Dragon Country Army had directly and frontally broken through all three lines of defense of the Viet Cong, which were hailed as the “Oriental Maginot Line”!

This was simply the art of war!

The Pentagon had fought the Viet Cong War for eight years, only to withdraw in disarray.

But the Dragon Country was now, in a devastating sweep, pointing its military might directly at the Viet Cong Capital?

After receiving the declaration of war from the Dragon Country Government, The Pentagon had quickly conducted war game simulations.

The simulation results indicated that even if Dragon Country were to break through at all costs, it would take at least three months.

Even if it were their USA forces, using a large number of bombers and air power for bombardment, it would still take at least a month to break through the Viet Cong defenses.

In this current battle, they truly could not imagine how the Dragon Country Army had fought it!

“Have the CIA investigate with all their might; we must know all the information about the commanders of this Dragon Country war!”

“Additionally, the entire process of the breakthrough in the war must be on my desk within 12 hours!”

The President of the United States was also greatly shocked, he ordered.

This battle could be called an offensive art in the modern warfare community!

This was absolutely an epic level of command and combat!

Military academies of the Army in any country in the world would focus on analyzing and studying this battle!

...Viet Cong Capital, Hanoi.

When the Soviet Union's 21-member senior military advisory group arrived on an Il-76 transport plane.

All members of the senior military advisory group were completely bewildered.

They received notification early this morning, and all rushed to the The Kremlin at 6 AM for a meeting.

Then, at 8 AM, they boarded the transport plane bound for the Viet Cong Capital.

On the plane, this senior military advisory group did not rest, spending over ten hours continuously discussing defensive strategies.

But now, as soon as their plane landed.

The Viet Cong authorities directly told them that the defense line had completely collapsed?

Their originally formulated military strategy was now useless?

Because it had now entered the phase of the Capital defense battle?

At this moment, the Soviet Union's 21-member senior military advisory group completely broke down emotionally!

The The Kremlin's instruction was for them to interface with the Viet Cong authorities, take over the Viet Cong's military command, and lead the war against Dragon Country!

But, the The Kremlin also never said they would have to fight a capital defense battle right from the start!

With the flat plains in front of the Viet Cong Capital!

Plus, all front-line troops had been annihilated, and the remaining troops were still occupying Cambodia and Laos.

Even a god couldn't fight this battle!

The Soviet Union's 21-member senior military advisory group had originally arrived with great ambitions!

But at this moment, they wished they could just board the Il-76 transport plane and return immediately!

...At the same time.

As reported by international media such as the British Post and New York Daily.

The news that the Dragon Country Army launched a full-scale offensive and achieved a major victory in the first battle on the Viet Cong battlefield also shook the entire International Community!
