C1170 New Developments

After crossing the Mekong River and turning into the western road, under the close surveillance of pairs of eyes hiding in the dark, the Dauntless Self-defense Force Horse Gang began to accelerate their pace. Every time the scouting party sent back information, they would have new developments.

The information slowly sketched out a road map that stretched out in front of us. After the armed men had crossed the Mekong River with the poison, they left the oxcart road nearby, plunged into the southern valley of the no-man's-land, and disappeared like giant pythons into the obscuring Virgin Forest. In three days they are expected to emerge from the western Makkah Valley, so that they can avoid the powerful forces of both sides and avoid any ambush the enemy might set.

Their course of action was therefore well thought out and well thought out, and it was now almost certain that the place where they were to be transported by water would be near a ferry to the east of the Macca Valley. There were docked boats there.

The scouting party had been following the horse gang like a shadow all along, and the information that came back made it increasingly clear that it was an armed, toothless drug smuggling unit. The soldiers were from what the Shan people called the "Little Han" Chinese. They were very alert and always held their submachine guns in their hands, shooting at any movement of wind or grass.

Their battle sequence was: One team to clear the way, one team to hold back. The large group of people and horses went side by side with the drugs. The scouts could see through the periscope that there were more than a dozen light machine guns opening up in front of them, and that their firepower was the equivalent of a regular army. They also found the legs of a heavy machine gun under a tarpaulin rack.

Later, the scouts reported that a group of reckless bandits had tried to seize the poison and had been killed on the spot by dozens of people. The officer ordered the captive's head to be cut off and hung on a tree as an example.

This heavily guarded army of drug smugglers marched northward, virtually unstoppable, and gradually approached the edge of the trap.

I should get going.

It was time for Qin to leave.

As agreed, we will fight at the same time.

Lee Shun oversees the general dispatch of the base camp.

This was a pitch black night without stars or moon, the dark night covered up our plot. Qin and I would lead our men and carry enough ammunition, essential food and communication equipment, bid our farewells to Lee Shun, and silently disappear into the darkness of Golden Triangle.

Before we left, Lee Shun warned me and Qin of one thing: no matter who found Alai, they would not leave him alive and kill him without mercy.

In other words, to Lee Shun, there was no longer a need for Alai to live. It was time for him to be silenced.

Qin and I understand Lee Shun's meaning. If we want to keep this red storm a secret and keep it a secret, we naturally cannot let Alai leave the Golden Triangle alive.

Since Lee Shun ordered Alai to be killed, Qin and I naturally have no objections. Alai is someone who should have died a long time ago. He has already lived for a long time.

Qin and I were roughly three days away from the ambush site. For the sake of secrecy, our plan was to march at night, hide during the day, and leave during the night.

Not long after they set out that night, a torrential downpour began to fall from the sky. It was the same with the rainy season at Golden Triangle. The torrential downpour never ceased.

The rain was a good cover for our operation.

Qin and I led our people and disappeared within the Virgin Forest in the dark night's torrential rain.

My men were all wearing military raincoats, and their weapons were hidden in them. The hundred men were in an orderly formation, and no one said a word. No one coughed.

Naturally, this was inseparable from Qin's usual training.

I walked at the front with a captain, talking quietly as we walked.

A captain told me that before we left, Qin quietly gave us the only two mortars on Revolutionary Army. Also, Qin also picked four snipers from the special forces.

My heart warmed. I knew that Qin was hiding this from me. He was afraid that I would reject him, afraid that I would argue with him, so he secretly did this. He was worried that I would suffer a loss during my ambush.

What a revolutionary friendship formed by the fires of war, I think that's what it is.

While they were marching, they kept in constant contact with the base camp. Lee Shun was continuously sending them the latest news.

"Everything is going well on Qin's side. We are in the middle of a march."

"There's no news from Kunming right now." "The person is still in the hotel."

"Everything over at the Hsinghai is still the same."

"The prey is still following the route I predicted."

In Virgin Forest, the most reliable communication method was the primitive and ancient radio station.

According to the scouts, the horse gang that carried the poison was also using the radio as a communication device. The long antenna behind the soldier's back was the best proof.

The road under the Virgin Forest was slippery and muddy. After walking for an entire night, everyone was very tired.

Just before dawn, the rain stopped. I told everyone to stop and eat something to rest on the spot.

We'll rest here for the day and move on at night.

One of the captains arranged for the patrolling sentries to be set up, and then everyone began to eat by leaning against a tree.

I ate a few biscuits, drank a few mouthfuls of water, then leaned against a large tree trunk and closed my eyes.

He could not eat hot food or drink hot water at the moment. In order to keep this a secret, he had to be careful. No one could light a fire or even smoke. He could not even cough loudly.

I closed my eyes, but for the moment I didn't feel sleepy. I thought about the details of the operation.

Our intended ambush spot was the Makkah Valley, less than fifty kilometers from Jingdong City. According to the scouting team, although there were three sides of the mountain, the terrain was not very dangerous. A small river flowed from the foot of the mountain, a village was located in the valley, on the hillside, farmers often farmed cattle. It was said that the valley of the Makkah was once full of opium poppy, but when the roads were opened, the opium poppy moved further into the mountains.

Qin chose to set up an ambush at the edge of the city. I had my doubts because according to military common sense, this kind of place isn't very suitable for ambushing. Firstly, there are many people, so it's difficult to conceal the target, and secondly, it might alarm the city's Burmese Army.

However, Qin was very confident. He asked me, If you were them, when would you let your guard down? When will your team break off and go slack? It was a hot day, and the soldiers were trying to lighten the load by unloading the clips and putting them on the mules. The artillery couldn't find the gun, couldn't find the ammunition. Weapon Clouds: Catch them unawares. Attack them unawares. The enemy's paralysis was the best time to attack.

Dauntless Self-defense Force and the government army have always colluded, Lee Shun and I heard Qin's words made sense, so we agreed. At the same time, I couldn't help but admire Qin's military experience.

While he was deep in thought, Lee Shun sent a telegram informing him of an action: In order to cover up my and Qin's actions, Lee Shun divided the direct subordinates that were left at the base camp into two parts, one of which was to remain on guard. Most of the troops, on the other hand, drove a large number of broken ox-carts in the opposite direction, as if they were afraid that no one would know that they were going to smuggle a large shipment of goods.

Lee Shun's way of thinking was very shrewd, but since it was like this, the base camp was basically empty. Lee Shun's move was really quite risky, so he was betting on a plan to sing "empty city".

I couldn't help but to worry for Lee Shun's safety, but since he has already carried out this operation, it's useless for me to say anything unnecessary. At the same time, doing so would indeed numb the opponent and help cover my movements and Qin's.

Qin and I contacted each other again. He was also using the method of resting during the day and marching at night. At this moment, he was resting in the forest. It was only a day's journey to the ambush point they had set.

That is to say, Qin had entered the attack area one day earlier than me, so he had to wait in ambush place for at least an entire day. Their ambush spot was still close to ten kilometers away from Dauntless Self-defense Force's base camp. It was a no-man's land, an area the other side would defend at a blind spot.

According to our previous agreement, I'll make the first move here. As soon as I make a move, I'll immediately notify Qin and Qin's side will lead their team to attack the Dauntless Self-defense Force base.

When night fell again, it started to rain. I ordered the team to rest and immediately set off.

The team continued forward, quickly and silently sprinting on the muddy and slippery Virgin Forest path.

When it was light again, I ordered the team to stop for a rest.

The rain had not stopped. It continued to fall.

At this moment, I received news from Qin. He has already arrived at the ambush location in the no-man's land. Everyone has already hidden themselves well, waiting for me to send out the signal.

The reconnaissance team reported that we were still 30 kilometers away from the Maka Valley. The other party was approaching the Maka Valley from the no-man's land. It was expected that they would enter the valley at noon tomorrow.

Time is still relatively loose for me. After dark, we won't need a night to enter the Makkah Valley. At dawn, we'll be able to ambush and wait for our prey.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the rain stopped and a few rays of sunlight shone through the dense foliage of the Virgin Forest. Most of the soldiers continued to sleep with their raincoats wrapped around them while a team leader and I studied the route of the night's march.

"Vice Commander-in-chief, according to the guide, after walking about 10 kilometers, there is a swamp area. There is still miasma there, it can poison someone to death." A captain said softly, "It rained heavily for two days in a row. I think the water in the swamp will get deeper and the miasma will get thicker."

I understood what marshland and miasma meant to humans in the Virgin Forest. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Then let's go around it. Go around to the left of the swamp. "2

"If I were to walk 20 more kilometers, I'm afraid it would delay my arrival at the ambush site." A captain said.

I said, "Let's inform them that we will be leaving as soon as the sky turns dark. We will be eating our fill before we depart, so we will not stop for tonight. We must ensure that we enter the ambush position before tomorrow morning."

One of the captains nodded: "Ok."

I added, "The mortars are rotated twice, and the heavy machine guns are rotated."

"Alright!"

I looked at the mortar covering the black tarpaulin next to me and said, "How many shells did you bring?"

"20 attacks!" That's all my family's foundation is worth, we brought them all out! " A captain grinned at me.

I said, "Family? "There are only 20 cannonballs in total?"

"Yes. Heavy weapons are not easy to deal with. This was even captured when we were fighting another stronghold. Can you guess what era this mortar is from? " A captain said.

I said, "I don't know!"

"Heh heh. This was used by the Chinese military back then, in the 1960s. " A captain said.

"National army?" "No," I said.

"That's right, the Kuomintang Army is in ruins. They've been defeated in four to nine years and have escaped to the Golden Triangle." "They grew up here, up to more than 40 thousand people, defeated the Burmese army several times and almost destroyed the country," said one of the captains. Myanmar couldn't beat them, so it went to the United Nations to sue Jiang. Then the people of Mi intervened and the team withdrew to Taiwan.
