Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Nankan is a place name in Shan, which means "Jinjiang". It was named after the ancients called Ruilijiang the Great Jinsha River.

Nankan is located on the south bank of Ruili River, surrounded by mountains and water. Ruili River is like a huge silver snake winding past the north of the city. Behind it is the lush mountains. The beautiful town lies gracefully and peacefully among ten thousand acres of fertile fields.

The land is fertile, the climate is pleasant, the products are rich, the scenery is beautiful, and it is across the river from Nongdao Town, Ruili City, China. It is the important town and gateway to the northwest of the Myanmar Yushan Gang and the most important granary in northern Myanmar.

This place was originally a Chinese territory and was forcibly "leased" by Britain in 1897; it was occupied by Japanese pirates during World War II. After the recovery of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, it was "leased" to Britain by the old Chinese government at that time, until Burma became independent and the new China became a nation.

After negotiation in 1960, the two sides signed the "China-Myanmar Boundary Treaty." Burmese Yu assigned Pianma, Gulang, Gangfang and other places as well as the jurisdictions of the Banhong and Banlao tribes west of the "1941 Line" to China; China; Transferring the Mengmao triangle, including Nankan, to Burmese Yu, is equivalent to a territorial exchange between the two sides. Since then, Nankan, the pearl on the Ruili River, has bid farewell to China forever.

And now, Xie Li stood on a hill less than 10 kilometers east of Nankan Town and raised a telescope to observe the terrain.

The Burmese army deployed a large number of permanent fortifications along the east bank of the Ruili River from Nankan to Mengwei, which blocked the Ruili River and severed the connection between the Bangsang base area and the Kokang area.

A few years ago, the Burmese Communist Party organized forces to attack these strongholds, hoping to open up this route, but the final result was quite disappointing. The Burmese army relied on strong fortifications and backed by Ruilijiang's convenient supplies, and it just withstood. The two-sided attack of the Kokang Army of the Burmese Republic firmly controlled several important towns along the Ruili River, like a sharp knife, splitting the control area of ​​the Burmese Communist Party in half.

Xie Li put down the telescope and ordered to the correspondent standing next to him: "Telegraph to Deputy Commander Peng, saying that we have arrived at the predetermined location, please act according to the plan!"

The correspondent stood at attention and saluted, and agreed to go down, Xie Li continued to raise his binoculars and look towards Nankan.

The 51-year-old Peng Jiasheng is dressed in military uniform and stands with his hands behind his back. Opposite him is a large military map that occupies the entire wall. The mountains and landforms of the entire Kokang area are unobstructed. He seems to be looking at the map intently, but actually Has drifted far away.

In 1949, he participated in the "Guogan Military School" opened by chieftain Yang Zhencai. The instructors were Zhang Wenhua and Zhao Guozhu from the remnants of the Guodang. Although these people failed in the Chinese Civil War, they were originally from the Whampoa Military Academy. They were proficient in basic military training and strategic tactics. They acted properly and managed strictly. Although he and Luo Xinghan and other 24 classmates only received a few months of training, they opened up his vision and mind and inspired his domineering. He was flourishing that year, and he was only 18 years old that year.

In 1965, the Burmese army stationed in Kokang after arresting chieftain Yang Zhencai and others, and ended the Tusi regime which had been passed down for hundreds of years. However, the Burmese army did not bring peace and tranquility after entering Kokang, and instead promoted great Burmese chauvinism. Discriminating against the courageous people, conquering and conquering, leading to social chaos and banditry rampant, he raised the banner of resistance and led more than 30 brothers to fight guerrillas in the mountains. That year he was a hard-working man and he was 34 years old that year.

In 1968, the courageous infighting, the old chieftain brother Yang Zhenzong who conspired to seize power shot and killed his friend Li Zhenwu. He became angry and avenged his friends and killed Yang Zhenzong. However, he was killed by the Burmese army and the Luo Xinghan tribe who surrendered to the Burmese army. , Yang Zhenye, the cousin of the enemy Yang Zhenzong, joined forces to hunt down and panicked like a dog at home, and even retreated to China for shelter. The Communist Party of Burma extended an olive branch to him at this time. He joined the Communist Party of Burma, received their political and military education, and at the same time learned the advanced experience and theory of China. He felt that he finally found a life goal worth striving for a lifetime. , That year he rekindled his passion, that year he was 37 years old.

In 1977, seeing the Burmese Communist Party in a quagmire, repeated failures in foreign operations, numerous internal hills, high-level corruption, and no longer the party that was full of ideals and ambitions when he joined, he had no choice but to seal and seal gold to hide in Khe Island. , Do not ask about world affairs, he was frustrated that year, that year he was 46 years old.

The tree wanted to be quiet and the wind continued. A few years later, several of his old ministries regained Kokang and gradually stabilized the situation. They repeatedly asked him to come out and preside over the overall situation. In order to produce the long-term tranquility and peace in the Kokang region where he raised him, he reluctantly. He came out of the mountain and took power again. What he thought at the time was just how to find a stable and peaceful way for the courageous people, so as not to be oppressed and walk upright on every inch of land in Myanmar. To this end, he implemented a recuperation policy, reduced taxes, personally met every petitioner, and cherished his subordinates and civilians. After the war, Guokang finally ushered in the rare social peace and the people's peace and prosperity, until he received a telegram that day.

The telegram proposed a new idea and also a whimsical plan.

When he first saw it, he thought it was just a whim of Bao Qixia’s stunned head. However, the news that has been coming has made him realize that Bao Qixia is not just talking, but really starting for this. A series of actions.

He had reread the telegram verbatim many times, but he felt more and more that this telegram had hit his biggest obsession. There was nothing more that could impress the current Peng Jiasheng than national reconciliation. He felt that his heart had been extinguished for a long time. The fire of hope and passion has begun to burn again!

He turned around, facing the several generals in front of him who had been in uniform for a long time, and ordered in a deep voice: "Everything is according to the plan, start to act!"

In the neat response, everyone filed out, Peng Jiasheng turned his head and looked in the direction of Ruili River. In an instant, the clouds there were already stained with blood, the guns rumbling, and the killing sound shook the sky!

Xie Li received a call back from Peng Jia's voice that started to operate as planned. At the same time, he sent a message from the investigating squad that went downstream. Under the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns, Peng Jia's voice launched a large-scale operation near Mengwei. As many as hundreds of papaya boats lined up along the coast, the Burmese army reacted fiercely and mobilized heavy troops from upstream and downstream to gather for the Mengwei movement.

Xie Li frowned and asked, "What's the trend of the garrison in Nankan?"

The staff officer in charge of summarizing the information glanced at the information in his hand, and said: "In the message sent by Company Commander Lin ten minutes ago, the enemy of Nankan just stepped up their guard, and there is no sign of dispatch at the moment."

Xie Li thought for a while, and said: "Wait, the Nankan Garrison has only two regiments. With our current strength, we can eat them even harder. Send a telegram to Deputy Commander Peng and say our army Prepare to start attacking Nankan immediately, so that he must hold Meng Wei’s enemy for 24 hours. If necessary, even if it turns into a feint, he must buy time for me. Nankan, I will strike and give it to him!"

The staff officer agreed and went down to draft a message. Xie Li picked up the field phone on the table, shook it, and said:

"I order..."

Li Daming watched as the soldiers were busy taking off the 70-1 self-propelled howitzer's cannon jackets. The black hole's muzzle shook and pointed forward. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Today, it was finally his turn to fire the gun. , He waited for this day, but waited for a long time!

The order came, 5 minutes of artillery fire covered the fire, Li Daming cheered up and shouted: "Prepare ~ let go!"

The 122 mm shell flew out of the barrel with huge kinetic energy amidst the harsh roar, and flew to the Myanmar army stronghold in the distance. Although the landing point was completely beyond the line of sight, Li Daming could still imagine the shells falling above the enemy stronghold and exploding on fire, as well as the panic expression of the Burmese army inside the stronghold. He spit on the ground fiercely and muttered to himself: "Grandchildren, you also have today, try the great grandfather's big water pipe!"

The reconnaissance company that came out constantly reported to correct the information. Li Daming and the others adjusted their shooting Zhuyuan accordingly. According to their current training level, each gun could fire 15 shells on average and 6 salvos, which was 90. Fire shells. This gun is equipped with a split-type killing blasting grenades. The killing radius of one shell is 25 meters. These 90 shells are shot out, and there may not be a few live openings within a few miles of the landing point.

The shelling was completed in 5 minutes. Although they knew that the Burmese army was unlikely to have any effective counterattacks, Li Daming and the others quickly moved their positions in accordance with the requirements of the code. After they restarted, Lin Shuangxi sent a message.

This guy couldn't control himself. He yelled incoherently and clearly on the radio: "It's so cool. It's all leveled. Let our infantry come to clean the battlefield and receive the prisoners. The Burmese army's grandsons have already been bombarded. It's silly, all the white pants are picked out, and they just have to live."

When Xie Li heard the report of the results, he couldn't believe his ears: "Is it down? Just fired for 5 minutes? We didn't sacrifice or injured any of us?"

Lin Mingxian took the battlefield report handed over by the staff and looked at it. He laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth together: "Our artillery just hit the enemy's headquarters. After a few shots, it will be served in a pot. The enemy has no leader. The remaining fish Xiao Xia had never seen such a battle, so he was shocked and surrendered directly.

However, it cannot be said that our army did not lose this time. There is really one wounded here. A shell loader accidentally twisted his waist-but he didn't twist when loading shells. This kid heard After the victory, he fell while jumping directly from the car. "

Xie Li shook his head and said dumbfoundedly: "Fortunately for this kid, send a telegram to Deputy Commander Peng and say that we have completely wiped out the Nankan defenders. As planned, we will rest in Nankan for a whole day, and then attack along the Ruili River south. Arrive near Mengwei three days later and launch the Mengwei campaign as appropriate."

Peng Jiasheng stared at the telegram in his hand dumbfounded. He couldn't believe his eyes. Before attacking, he even generated electricity to demand that he must hold the enemy for 24 hours. He also said that he had to do it even if it turned out to be true. Nima passed. how long? Is there half an hour? This is another call to say that the battle has ended and the Burmese army has been wiped out.

Are you kidding me? Must be kidding yourself?

Over the years, the Communist Party of Burma, its Kokang Army, and the Burmese Army have fought dozens of battles on the banks of the Ruili River, just to fight for control of this section of the river, and to open up or block the connection between Kokang and Bangsang. However, the upper hand has always been the Burmese army. After all, they occupy the river channel, have the advantage of supply, and have a large number of people. The many battles launched by the Burmese Republic themselves ended in failure.

However, this Bao Qixia sent a small regiment of troops. Facing the two regiments of the Burmese army, the difference in strength was doubled. It was actually the one with fewer people attacking.

Don’t you hear about the art of war: ten encircle you, five to attack, double to fight, the enemy can be divided, if there is less, you can escape, and if you don’t, you can avoid it. Therefore, if the enemy is strong, the enemy is also captured. According to this statement, if the troops are weaker than the enemy, they should avoid fighting, and if the weaker defends hard, it will become a prisoner of the powerful enemy...

It’s so amazing that the side with fewer people not only takes the initiative to attack, but also wipes out the side with more people. Is this possible? This regiment, are they all descended from the heavenly soldiers and generals?

Peng Jiasheng commanded loudly: "Give me a generator and ask how those little rascals fight so fast. If you lie to the military, be careful that my old Peng gives him good fruit!"

After a while, the staff member brought a call back with only a few words:

"I have six 122 guns, and there are enough barrels."

Peng Jia suddenly felt choked in her chest, and blurted out: "My day..."
