Chapter 226: Embroidered shoes

Xie Li and the others chose the route not to go straight to Mogok, but from their current base to the north, along the borders of Burmese jade and Laos, to the Menggla region where the Burmese Communist guerrillas are active, and then turn to the northwest, along the way. The Burmese Jade and Huaxia borders marched and arrived at the old base area with Bangsang as the center. After making a symbolic report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Myanmar, they continued to march northwest and entered the Kokang area along Bangmao, Gunnong, and Nankan, and then turned around. To the south, cross the Ruili River, attack Mengmi, and finally occupy Mogok.
This road, although seen from the map, goes around a large circle, but in fact, it is basically an area where the Burmese Communist Party is active. The existence of the Burmese army in this area is basically controlled by a small piece based on a permanent stronghold. District, the armed forces are relatively limited and relatively safe.
There are two places that need attention. One is the Burmese army stronghold currently stationed in Nankan, which cuts off the connection between Kokang and Bangsang, and the large Burmese army stationed in Mengmi on the south bank of the Ruili River.
However, when several senior leaders of the team formulated this marching route, they did not mean to show off their strength and tyranny in armed demonstrations.
More importantly, the Chief of Staff Lin Mingxian also accompanied the team on this expedition. He and Xie Li will continue to go with Xie Li until the Kokang Allied Forces break up again. The chairman of the Independence Army, Zao Mai, has the important task of liaison.
These two armed forces share inextricable links with Burma.
Among them, the Kokang area is one of the Chinese settlements in Burmese Jade. The Chinese here are the descendants of the last Han armed forces who escorted the last emperor Nanshou all the way to this after the defeat of the last Han feudal regime in China. The language of living habits is still inherited from China. When the Burmese Communist Party took off, inspired by a large number of Chinese people within the Burmese Communist Party, the Kokang region also rose up and elected its own leader, Peng Jiasheng, who was later known as the "King of Kokang".
Peng Jiasheng is also a legend.
He and Luo Xinghan, the former drug lord of Myanmar, were classmates. The two used to study together at the "Kokang Military Academy" where the remnants of the Guodang were instructors, but after graduation, the two chose completely different paths.
Luo Xinghan transformed into the most famous drug lord, but Peng Jiasheng became the leader of the Kokang People’s Liberation Army, the most important armed force of the Communist Party of Burma. This
Kokang Military School
was later trained. Kunsa, another century drug lord, appeared, showing its fineness.
Unlike the "Kokang People's Liberation Army", the "Kachin Independence Army" pursues complete independence. The so-called "Kachin nationality" is called "Jingpo nationality" in China. Since the establishment of the army in 1961, they have continuously engaged in armed struggle with the Burmese army. The goal is to establish a completely independent nation-state. Many of them are occupied by Kachin State, which is mostly high mountains and dense forests. It is difficult for large forces to carry out operations, so the Burmese army does not use them much.
The "Kachin Independence Army" has withstood the test of war and has grown into one of the strongest teams among the many "civil warriors" in Myanmar. They have always been in an alliance with the "CPM", and their armed forces have weapons and ammunition. It has been supplied by Myanmar.
These two teams are two important forces that must be supported by Tan Zhenhua’s strategic vision of the "Five Strategies for Peace and Burma". Therefore, the chief of staff Lin Mingxian personally took the responsibility for this mission. The mission is to persuade the "Kokang Liberation Army" and the "Kachin Independence Army" to support their actions.
As a result of this expedition, Xie Li and his team carried a large amount of luggage and a large number of accompanying vehicles. It was obviously not enough to walk the forest road as before. Xie Li and Lin Mingxian took the big road swayingly, though. Certainly exposed, but easy to maneuver.
Moreover, although the first section of the departure belongs to the interlaced area of ​​the Burmese army and the guerrillas, the guerrilla forces are obviously superior. The Burmese army is usually shrouded in fortifications and occasionally patrols, but thanks to their current strength, When the patrols saw them, they might not react to fighting, but to run away.
As expected by the two of them, the small Burmese army saw them from a distance in the area they passed through, and saw them flaunting their might. They all retracted into the fortifications. Xie Li and his party have more important tasks. I didn't want to waste time and ammunition on these little fish and shrimps, which would cause unnecessary trouble, so the march went smoothly and smoothly until Jingdong.
When I arrived at this remote town in the Shan Bang mountain range, it was almost evening. After Xie Li arranged for the troops to camp and guard a security object, news came from Lin Shuangxi, who was out for investigation, saying that there was a group claiming to be Myanmar. People from the 815 military area requested to meet him, and Xie Li agreed to the meeting after thinking about it.
But when he saw this group of people, he was shocked.
The reason is simple. These people in front of you say they are an army. It is better to say they are a group of beggars. They are all ragged, unkempt, and unshaven. If they are not carrying rifles on their shoulders, getting out is a group of fleeing. Mountain people.
However, Xie Li quickly recognized a familiar face from these people, and he blurted out: "Jiang Zhimin, why are you, how did you make it like this?"
The man was stunned when he heard someone call his name, and he looked carefully before exclaiming in surprise: "I think which guy is suddenly gone, and my luck has developed. Dressed up and learned from the eagle sauce in the movie. The villain, it turned out to be your kid, Xie Li, it's a good mess!"
Xie Li walked a few steps, hugged Jiang Zhimin, patted him the back twice, and then pulled him into his marching tent. When he opened the curtain, he remembered something and turned his head back. The guard standing guard at the door said: "It's all my own. I get them something to eat. Seeing them like that, they are all hungry."
Jiang Zhimin smiled gratefully at Xie Li and said: "You still understand me. I wrote down the friendship of this meal and will double it back in the next day."
Xie Li laughed and said: "It's just a meal. What's the deal? Go, let's go in and talk. You tell me first, how did you get here and how you made it like this."
After entering the tent, the two of them sat down casually. Jiang Zhimin sighed: "Ali, I will tell you if you don’t ask me. Actually, I’m here this time and I planned to bring my brothers to you. Sang, I really can't stay any longer."
Xie Li was stunned when he heard the words, and asked: "Zhimin, although the two of us are not in the same designation team, but we are talking about old friendships. We had guarded the same trench back then. What you said is unclear. The 815 Military Region is within our Burmese Communist Party. It is not too big or too small. There are also thousands of troops under your commander Chiang. Who would dare not treat you as a dish?"
Jiang Zhimin smiled bitterly and said, "Thousands of people? What year are they in the almanac, Ali, don't you know if you have been outside for a long time, Bangsang has already become a pot of porridge.
You know, I used to be a soldier in China, and after I retired, I came to Burma Yu, and I was born as a trousers. The team I brought was also dominated by trousers. In its heyday, there were more than a thousand people, but then As you know, with the changes in China’s policy, coupled with the attitude of those in the Communist Party of Burma towards our trousers, we will go and work hard and receive rewards for them. Brothers can be said to be military spirit. Shaken, many people ran away.
Those who ran away, and the better ones, they gave a report on their retirement. They said hello before leaving. They almost threw their guns at night, and they ran away as soon as they took off their uniforms. So one after another, my thousands. There are only 300 people left, and it is impossible to maintain a regiment. "
Xie Li asked: "I've heard about this. In fact, our regiment can keep so many people, and thanks to this incident, many soldiers have rushed from other troops. Why are you Jiang Zhimin Can you always speak well? Can you go to other places to get people?"
Jiang Zhimin shook his head and said: "I can say that it is true, but I don't have the courage and courage of your Brigadier Bao. You Brigadier Bao dare to stand up against the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Myanmar and take the team out to do it alone. Those old guys dare not dare. Put one, how can I do it? I don’t have money, food or ammunition. I have to take my brothers out. Apart from robbing houses, there is only selling cigarettes. Isn’t that the same thing as the ruthless bandits of the Fruit Party? But I didn’t come to Burma Jade for this!"
Xie Li silently asked for a while, "Then what happened to the 300 brothers left on your side?"
Jiang Zhimin sighed: "The remaining 300 brothers each have reasons to stay, or each has reasons not to want or not to go back. The above means is to merge and reorganize us with other teams. It’s okay. In recent years, things like this have been too common, but the bad thing is the team that merged with us, the brigade commander’s name is Bazin!"
Xie Li asked strangely: "Who is this Bazin, why haven't I heard of it?"
Jiang Zhimin took a deep look at Xie Li and replied: "This Bazin, there is a father named Buck, Headmaster Xie should have heard of it?"
When Xie Li heard the name Buck, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Fuck, it's him!"
Barker, the current deputy chief of staff of the Burmese Communist Party, is a powerful figure at the top of the Burmese Communist Party. But these are not the main points. The main point is that his other son died in Bao Qixia's hands, and this incident is also the direct cause of Bao Qixia's brigade leaving the old Bangsang base.
When Jiang Zhimin said this, Xie Li suddenly realized that Jiang Zhimin could not live in Bangsang. Under this figure, it was the trousers that the Communist Party of Myanmar was trying to exclude. Jiang Zhimin probably wore more than one pair of embroidered shoes. He can still save his life today, and he is already fortune-telling.
