Chapter 34: The Fall of Changqing Mountain
The exit of the gourd-shaped canyon is facing Changqing Mountain, and you can clearly see Changqing Mountain from the canyon.
The soldiers of the Blood Lion Legion also noticed the battle there, and stood up one after another, staring blankly into the distance, and then their eyes fell on Pang Jindong one after another.
Faced with this sudden and sharp downturn, Pang Jindong didn't know what to do for a while, and was stunned.
Watching a puff of smoke ignite on the top of Changqing Mountain, Pang Jindong's mind quickly crossed a series of question marks: "What the hell is going on? How is the fourth grandfather? How is Wushuang? What ?......about my uncles and aunts?"
Meng Fang looked at the restless soldiers, and then at Pang Jindong, knowing that he should do something at this time.
He came to Pang Jindong's side and reminded softly: "Sir......"
Meng Fang's voice freed Pang Jindong from a series of question marks and looked around him.
At this time, all the soldiers came to Pang Jindong's side, and gathered in the canyon in a dense manner, if someone launched a surprise attack, they would inevitably be wiped out.
"What should I do?" Pang Jindong's mind quickly thought about various countermeasures, and after a long time, he finally decided to directly rush to the aid of Changqing Mountain.
When Pang Jindong organized an ambush in the canyon, he did not maintain any contact with the Kokang Republican Army.
Yang Jiawei only sent two people who were familiar with the terrain to act as guides for Pang Jindong, and they were also confused now.
The situation at Changqing Mountain was still unclear and immediately rushed to the rescue, which was extremely risky from a purely military point of view.
The correct approach should be to scout for intelligence first, and at most deploy troops to the periphery.
But Pang Jindong, out of concern for the fourth uncle, was unwilling to think about the current situation from a military point of view, nor was he willing to consider what kind of casualties such an adventure would cause.
The most important thing for Pang Jindong is to be able to ensure the safety of his relatives.
For this reason, Pang Jindong had to be selfish once and mobilize the Blood Lion Legion to assemble immediately.
"All the brothers!" Pang Jindong stood on a high place, slowly glanced at the scarred soldiers, and said calmly in a high-pitched tone: "I believe you already know, just now, the base of the Kokang Republican Army was attacked by the MD government army, and now it is close to falling, and we need to go to reinforcements immediately!"
After Pang Jindong said these words, he carefully paid attention to the expressions of the soldiers.
What made Pang Jindong feel a little relieved was that when he heard that he was about to enter a new battle again, only a few people showed a look of frustration, and most people expressed that they were very calm.
When he was in the jungles of South America, Pang Jindong often needed to take the team to several places one after another, and there was only a little time to rest during the period.
But those are all mature mercenaries, and the experience of Rong Ma's life, the will to fight, and the physical essence are far beyond the eggs of these recruits in front of them. In addition, the morale of the recruits is also the most easily shaken.
In order to solve these problems, it is common practice to mix recruits with veterans, so that veterans can carry recruits in all aspects.
But the only power available to Pang Jindong now is these people, so these issues, which were originally nothing, have become extremely important at the moment.
"I know that you are very tired and need to rest and relax! I also know that there are many people who are injured and urgently need medical treatment! But now the situation does not allow it, and we have to immediately plunge into a new battle! I don't want to hide your ......" Speaking of this, Pang Jindong's voice became low: "We still don't know anything about the situation in Changqing Mountain, and we don't know how many troops the enemy has, how much equipment they have, and what places they have occupied!" It is a very risky thing for those of you who only carry light weapons to reinforce you! And, I believe you also have some understanding of how dangerous the terrain of Changqing Mountain is! If those dangerous passes have been occupied by the MD government, it will be ...... to us."
Pang Jindong stopped at this point, although he did not clearly tell everyone what the situation would be, but everyone could guess it.
From a certain point of view, Pang Jindong's words are discouraged for everyone, but Pang Jindong himself doesn't think so.
Pang Jindong has always believed that before performing a task, speaking out about the difficulties can win people's hearts to the greatest extent.
If we adopt a secretive attitude and let everyone realize the difficulties by then, it will be easier to shake the morale of the military.
Facts have repeatedly proved that Pang Jindong's views are correct.
"However, I believe that even so, we can also do a good job! Because the Blood Lion Legion is an excellent army, and you are a group of excellent soldiers! More importantly, this war is not an ordinary war, for us mercenaries, it is not just to make money! It is also to fight for our compatriots overseas!" Pang Jindong glanced at everyone again and continued; "I believe you all already know what kind of place the Kokang region is, and what kind of group of people the Kokang people are!" As long as you pay more attention to the news, you will know more about what kind of life overseas Chinese have lived over the years! I have always firmly believed that we are an excellent nation, but why should an excellent nation be bullied by those indigenous dwarf monkeys?
Except for a few of the brain-dead people in Hahan Hari, most of the young people in the country are more or less nationalistic, and many soldiers have excited looks on their faces, and some are even eager to fight the MD government army again.
On top of this raging love, Pang Jindong wasted no time in pouring some oil: "Every soldier who joins the Blood Lion Legion, on the day of the report just now, will be told by his own officer that there is such a sentence, that is: 'I have no other requirements for you, but I just hope that when the enemy covers the earth like a jungle, when the warships jam the sea like a mountain, and when the cannonballs cover the sky and earth as far as the eye can see like raindrops, we must have the determination and courage to die together!' Only by being able to do this can you become a member of the Blood Lion Legion, and now is the time to fulfill that promise!"
Pang Jindong's voice landed, and after a moment of silence, the Blood Lion Legion suddenly erupted into a neat roar: "Sir! Yes, sir!"
The sound resounded through the sky like a tsunami of mountains, and at the same time the earth shook with it, and the stones on the slopes on both sides of the canyon seemed to loosen and roll down.
Immediately after, under the command of Pang Jindong, the Blood Lion Legion re-lined up, and then rushed to Changqing Mountain like a rolling torrent.
At this moment at Changqing Mountain, the MD government army shouted: "Kill all the Chinese people!" staring at the blood-red eyes, looking around for the Kokang Republican Army.
If the troops can quickly enter the battlefield at this time, even if they cannot achieve a complete victory in the battle, they will at least kill and wound the enemy on a very large distance, and form a strong support for the defenders of Changqing Mountain.
However, something very frustrating happened - several Kokang IRA guides deliberately slowed down the procession.
And every time they arrive at a junction, these guides have to study for half a day, and then discuss for half a day, and finally decide which way to take.
Seeing that there was more and more smoke in Changqing Mountain, but the gunfire was getting more and more sparse, Pang Jindong knew that the battle was nearing the end.
Although the outcome is unpredictable, based on the current situation, it is certain that the defeat of the Kokang Republican Army is more likely.
Pang Jindong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but these guides were still unhurried.
At first, Pang Jindong was embarrassed to ask questions, because considering that he was a guest after all, and these guides had no reason to hope that the Kokang Republican Army would fail.
But when Pang Jindong, who was not familiar with the terrain here, found that the guide was taking him in circles, Pang Jindong couldn't hold it back, and grabbed a guide's collar and asked sharply.
However, the guide's answer was very surprising, and Pang Jindong was taken aback when they heard it, because they told Pang Jindong: "This is all ordered by Yang Jiawei." ”
"What?" Pang Jindong's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What you said is true?"
"Really...... It's really ......" The guide who was questioned was extremely thin, but a little more than one meter six in height, like a chick in front of Pang Jindong.
Facing Pang Jindong, who was like a fierce god, the poor guide body was like a sifting chaff, trembling constantly.
Seeing this, the other guide wanted to excuse his companion, but said something that made people laugh and cry: "Commander...... Sir...... Young Master Sun, you just wait, just go around two more circles, and we'll take you to a place!"
The guide's words were ridiculous, but Pang Jindong's mind suddenly flashed and he realized something.
Changqing Mountain was attacked inexplicably, and then linked to the words and actions of the guide, it is likely that Pang Wenlan or Pang Tianzhong had such a plan, that is, to deliberately put the MD government troops in from the flank, let them capture Changqing Mountain, and then cut off their supply lines, besiege Changqing Mountain, and completely trap these MD government troops on the mountain.
The guide deliberately delayed the time, so that the Blood Lion Legion could join the Kokang Republican Army on time and launch a counteroffensive against the MD government army.
But if this is the case, it raises new questions:
First, why put the MD government army directly from the flank, not from the front, and let Pang Jindong intercept the enemy in the front;
Second, why didn't you tell Pang Jindong all of this plan in advance;
Third, even if you want to catch turtles in the urn, there is no need to bet on Changqing Mountain, which has been in operation for many years. There are many strongholds and bases around Changqing Mountain, and you can choose another place;
Fourth, the MD government forces have a great numerical advantage, and even if they trap this group, their allies will inevitably come to reinforcements, which will make the whole plan fall short, so there is no need to implement such tactics;
Considering these, there is another possibility, that is, Pang Jindong fell into Yang Jiawei's trap from the beginning.
This battle, the surprise attack of the MD government forces, and even the assassination of Pang Jindong, are likely to have been planned by him.
Pang Jindong secretly thought in his heart: "The fourth grandfather trusts Yang Jiawei like that, I hope he is not a traitor......"
Pang Jindong thought about things and didn't speak, but he made the guides feel more frightened than angry.
They stole a look at the soldiers gathered around them, all of them with weapons in their hands, and they were even more frightened, and their faces were as white as paper, which formed a wonderful contrast with their dark complexion.
Pang Jindong knew that he couldn't rely on these guides to answer his questions, so he could only find his uncle or Yang Jiawei.
Pang Jindong looked at the guide who was questioned just now, and asked slowly: "You just said that you want to take me to a place?"
The guide hurriedly nodded: "Yes! Yes!"
"Then take me now!"
"Yes!Yes!Yes!" The guide didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, but took Pang Jindong directly to the destination.
When he was on the way, Pang Jindong called Meng Fang aside and whispered to him: "Sue all the brothers, secretly prepare for battle, remember not to make a noise!"
Soon, Pang Jindong came to a crossroads he had passed, which was very narrow and congested, surrounded by cliffs, covered with green moss and some unnamed herbs.
The guides pushed aside the bushes under a cliff to reveal a hidden intersection.
"Let's go, Young Master Sun!" The guides made a respectful "please" gesture to Pang Jindong, and then took the lead in getting in.
From the outside, this intersection looks like a cave, and only when you get into it will you realize that inside it is actually an extremely narrow canyon for two people to walk side by side.
The cliffs on both sides stand at a 90-degree angle, as neat and smooth as a knife and axe. Looking up, you can see that the sky is like an azure line, gently pulling over your head.
If you are not in the middle of a battle, this "silver line" scenery is a good place for sightseeing.
It's just that now no one is in such a mood, and if there is a sneak attack while walking here, the other party does not even have to use a weapon, just throw a bunch of stones from above. Those who are familiar with the terrain may be looking for an opportunity to slip away.
