Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Faced with our intensive artillery fire, the Vietnamese soldiers could only hide in cat-ear holes and tunnels and endure it silently without any thought of fighting back.

Moreover, this time, our side launched a simultaneous attack on the four outer heights of the highland group. They were all followed by the artillery's slow barrage charge.

Every time we attacked a tunnel or trench, our soldiers would use explosives to block it. In this way, in less than 30 minutes, our soldiers reached the top of the hill.

The soldiers who reached the summit quickly began to build fortifications on the spot, preparing for the enemy's counterattack. However, they did not realize that the enemy's counterattack never came.

It’s not that the Vietnamese army didn’t fight back, but because their counterattack on the ground had no chance of breaking through our artillery blockade.

While they were charging, the Vietnamese army also wanted to reinforce the high ground through the ground, occupy the reverse slope of the high ground, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

But when they tried to support the high ground through the ground, they were stopped by our artillery fire. Moreover, this artillery fire was very accurate, and it would bombard wherever there was a gathering.

The Vietnamese army also knew that we had an observation post on the high ground, but they couldn't find it, so they had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​providing support, and they had no way to break the subsequent battle for the high ground.

The Vietnamese army now hated the man who blew up their Tongdeng Fortress. If the fortress was still there, they would not have been able to attack their own high ground so smoothly.

Unfortunately, Tongdeng Fortress has become a thing of the past. Now it is just a big pit. It can no longer serve any defensive purpose.

Zhao Cheng, who was far away in Dainai, northern Vietnam, couldn't help but sneeze. Too many people were scolding him.

As for why Zhao Cheng appeared here, it was because he wanted to carry out a decapitation operation and destroy the headquarters of the 316th Division of the Vietnamese Army.

According to Zhao Cheng's understanding, the 316th Division of the Vietnamese Army will transfer a large force to the Gantang area behind Lao Cai when our army captures Lao Cai, because that is the most important phosphate production area of ​​the Vietnamese Army.

If this is lost, their economy will be severely damaged. After all, this is their main export product and their lifeblood.

The target Zhao Cheng wanted to ambush was Nguyen Hai Binh, Chief of Staff of the Second Military Region and Commander of the 316th Division. He was the most easily killed senior general in the entire self-defense counterattack. The others were either among the assembled troops or hiding behind them, remotely commanding their forces.

Zhao Cheng was wandering around the road from Fengtu to Dainai, waiting for the 316th Division of Vietnam to come. As for why Zhao Cheng was so obsessed with killing a colonel, it was simply because Zhao Cheng was unwilling to accept the defeat.

In real history, during the entire self-defense counterattack, the highest-ranking Vietnamese soldier killed by our army was only a militia colonel commander in Gaoping City, and his name was not even known.

The highest casualty among our troops was a deputy division-level officer. This made Zhao Cheng feel very unbalanced. Moreover, even the battalion-level commanders of the Vietnamese army were far away from the front lines to command the battle, so it was not easy to kill their senior officers.

But Ruan Haiping is different. He is following the entire 361st Division. Moreover, he is not only a division commander, but also the chief of staff of the military region. This identity is definitely enough for Zhao Cheng to try every means to kill him.

It was a little after eight o'clock in the evening on February 18th, and Zhao Cheng had been lying in ambush here for a whole day. Being in ambush in the rainforest in such high temperatures really made Zhao Cheng suffer a lot.

But it was all worth it, because at around eight o'clock in the evening, the 148th Regiment, the vanguard of the 316th Division of the Vietnamese Army, had appeared in Zhao Cheng's sight.

According to general marching rules, the division headquarters would be in the center of the army. Zhao Cheng knew that this group of troops only had two regiments and the division headquarters, so the division headquarters might be in the back.

Because there are no troops from our army pursuing them and no enemies behind them, the Vietnamese army will not leave too many troops behind.

After the vanguard 148th Regiment passed by, Zhao Cheng did not find any senior officers. Although the colonel commander of this regiment was also good, it was a pity that Zhao Cheng wanted the major general. Killing the colonel now would easily alert the enemy.

If they go into the old forest, where can I find them? Can I chase after thousands of people?

So Zhao Cheng watched the commander of the 148th Regiment pass by him without any reaction.

After about half an hour, Zhao Cheng noticed that the proportion of officers in the marching team was getting higher and higher. He knew that the big fish he was waiting for had arrived.

With so many officers showing up, it must be the division headquarters that has followed, which means his target is right in front of him.

Zhao Cheng let out a breath and began to observe carefully, not intending to miss any details. Furthermore, Zhao Cheng had also caused a small trouble for the Vietnamese army.

Long before going abroad to fight, Zhao Cheng prepared a lot of things in advance, including but not limited to some small things he had obtained before.

Zhao Cheng placed a trap on the road below. There was nothing inside the trap except a piece of white phosphorus soaked in water, and some flammable materials around the white phosphorus.

Among the flammable materials, there was not only some gasoline, but most importantly, some of the opium he had seized earlier! Not only opium, but also some high-purity silk.

These things were all extracted in my own space, and they were made for the purpose of harming others. Now is the time.

Zhao Cheng gently pulled a small rope at his hand, which was tied to the white phosphorus. The white phosphorus that was pulled out of the water quickly burned and ignited the gasoline. The gasoline exploded and burned violently, igniting the smoke and No. 4?

When the gasoline exploded, there were the most cars in the entire division headquarters. The explosion caused all the cars to stop, and the soldiers in front and behind ran towards one of the military jeeps.

Seeing this situation, how could Zhao Cheng not know that the person in that car must be the commander of the 316th Division, Colonel Nguyen Hai Binh, the chief of staff of the Second Military Region of the Vietnamese Army?

At this time, as the gasoline exploded, the entire battlefield was immediately covered with thick smoke, and the soldiers who inhaled the smoke soon showed evil smiles on their faces, and some even started dancing on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Cheng held his breath, closed all the pores on his body, and rushed directly towards the car that had been protected in the middle.

He didn't shout or make a sound along the way. Taking advantage of the thick smoke in the night, he approached the car quickly like a ghost.

The enemy soldiers who tried to stop him had their throats cut by Zhao Cheng with a bayonet, leaving them no chance to raise a warning sound.

After opening the car door, Zhao Chengju discovered a colonel with a constipated expression on his face who was emitting an evil smile but trying to suppress it.

Zhao Cheng pulled the officer over. The officer tried to resist, but unfortunately, he was no match for him. After being pulled over by Xincheng, Zhao Cheng tore off his epaulettes and collar badges, took out his officer ID from his pocket, and then stabbed him directly in the temple with a backhanded knife, leaving him no chance of rescue.

He then pulled out a few grenades from his pocket, threw them into the car, and quickly ran away. In a few breaths, he had entered the deep mountains and old forests.

Less than five seconds after Zhao Cheng left, a series of explosions were heard behind him. These explosions forced all the troops that were not in the thick smoke to risk entering the area.

It was very easy to get in, but not many people could stay awake inside. Many soldiers and even officers had hallucinations.

Some people started firing indiscriminately, others pulled out grenades and threw them everywhere. The entire marching team was in chaos for nearly a hundred meters.

Those who had not yet entered stopped immediately and dared not enter again.

The commander of the 148th Regiment, who had just arrived, heard that the division headquarters behind him was under attack, so he immediately stopped marching and turned around to run to the rear.

More than ten minutes later, he appeared at the edge of the thick smoke. When he tried to force his way in, he was stopped by others and the situation was explained to him.

"You mean that inhaling this thick smoke will make you unconscious just like smoking opium?" the commander of the 148th Regiment asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Comrade Commander, those people inside were like they had smoked too much opium, and they had hallucinations and were firing randomly everywhere. You can still hear the gunshots now. And those who died didn't even scream, but instead there were creepy laughs." A second lieutenant said bitterly.

"How is the chief of staff?" the regiment commander asked anxiously.

"The chief of staff's car is also in the thick smoke. We don't know the situation inside. Now we can only wait for the smoke to clear before going in to take a look!" said the second lieutenant.

"Is there no other way? Even wearing a gas mask won't work?" The team leader couldn't believe what would happen if they delayed any further.

"It's useless. Wearing a gas mask will only delay for a few more minutes. It's completely useless. I suspect that the thick smoke contains not only opium but also purified No. 4, which is why it has such an effect. According to the current situation, the thick smoke should dissipate in another half an hour." said the second lieutenant.

"What is going on? Why did such thick smoke suddenly appear? Who did it?" the team leader asked anxiously.

"I heard from the comrades who saw it that a gasoline explosion suddenly occurred at a location on the side of the road, followed by billowing thick smoke, and the smoke spread to this area in less than a minute. Then there were several explosions inside, and soon there were gunshots and grenade explosions. Someone held their breath and went in to take a look, and found that everyone inside had evil smiles on their faces and was attacking each other. That person couldn't hold on and ran out, but unfortunately now he has become the same as the people inside and is being tied up over there!" The second lieutenant pointed to a soldier tied to a tree beside the road and explained.

The regimental commander looked over and found that the soldier also had an evil smile on his face, with the same symptoms as an opium smoker. That expression made the regimental commander's scalp tingle.
