Chapter 41: Enemy Reinforcements Arrive

After the Kokang Republican Army recaptured Changqing Mountain, it began to liquidate the defections of Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao, and after the two people were detained, everyone thought that they could take a rest, but they could not do so, because the reinforcements of the MD government army arrived.

At this time, exactly forty-eight hours had passed since Pang Jindong angrily killed the MD soldiers in the bazaar.

This is probably the longest forty-eight hours Pang Jindong has experienced so far, and it feels like a year, and it is hard to imagine that so much has happened in such a short period of time.

After forty-eight hours of continuous running and fighting, everyone was very tired and in dire need of rest.

Pang Jindong felt his upper and lower eyelids desperately moving closer together, but as soon as he saw the MD government army in the distance, he immediately sobered up.

It was precisely because of excessive tiredness that although he knew that enemy reinforcements were coming, Pang Jindong had no way to send reinforcements.

Under the leadership of Yang Jiawei, Pang Jindong roughly visited the dungeon.

As Yang Jiawei said before, the scale of the dungeon is very large, and the setting is quite perfect.

There are several layers, each with its own purpose and the same function as the others.

In general, the Changqingshan base is not as backward as Pang Jindong imagined before, and in many respects it can even be said to be relatively modern.

For example, the various parts of the base and the units can be connected by telephone or radio communication.

The latest orders issued by superiors or the information they have can be conveyed to individual soldiers at the first time.

On this basis, the Kokang Republican Army has also established its own computer local area network, which is used for various types of operational analysis and the integration of information resources.

This made Pang Jindong a little pleased, but he didn't expect that the Kokang Republican Army, which seemed backward and clumsy, would actually realize informatization in a certain way.

Finally, Mr. Yang led Mr. Pang to an observation room on the top floor, a semicircular room carved out of a small raised hill.

The view here is very good, with a strip-shaped opening that surrounds a hundred and eighty degrees. The opening is hidden under a mountain cliff and is difficult to spot from the outside.

However, inside, you can see the entire area in front of Changqing Mountain at a glance, and you can clearly see the MD government army.

This group of MD government troops is extremely numerous, and according to the intelligence obtained from reconnaissance, there is at least one regiment of about 1,000 people, which has surpassed the Kokang Republican Army in terms of numbers alone.

What's more, they are also equipped with a large number of artillery and tanks, which made Pang Jindong feel desperate for a while, considering that there are likely to be follow-up reinforcements coming.

Even if the MD government forces can't attack, the Kokang IRA will definitely not be able to fight, so the battle will be in a stalemate, and the next thing is a competition between the two sides for patience and logistical supplies.

The Kokang IRA does not lack the former, but the MD government forces have sufficient logistical supplies that the Kokang IRA does not have.

The resources reserved in Changqing Mountain are a little less, and it is really just sitting on the empty mountain.

As long as the MD government army is smart enough to surround Changqing Mountain, the Kokang Republican Army will only have to wait for death.

Yang Jiawei saw Pang Jindong's worries, smiled faintly, and asked for permission to be the conductor on his behalf.

Pang Jindong agreed, and Yang Jiawei immediately ordered, all the soldiers quickly entered the dungeon and took place, and the windows of all the fire points were opened.

Pang Jindong carefully observed, with the location of these firing points, as long as they were combined with weapons of different ranges and powers, they could basically cover the entire Changqing Mountain area.

The firepower points are equipped with heavy fortifications, and the external windows are extremely hidden and hidden, which even makes Pang Jindong have a kind of ingenious admiration.

With the cover of the terrain and landforms, it is very difficult to accurately hit these points of fire with the equipment level of the MD government army, let alone destroy them completely.

In addition, many weapons that were not unveiled on weekdays also appeared at this time, and when Pang Jindong saw a large-caliber artillery in it, his confidence was somewhat restored.

Yang Jiawei asked proudly: "What does the deputy commander-in-chief think?"

Pang Jindong nodded slightly, and only said four words: "You can fight!"

Over time, Pang Jindong's confidence turned into suspicion, which further evolved into curiosity.

This peculiar transformation is usually difficult to happen, and it involves both qualitative and quantitative changes, and it is the appearance of this MD government army that causes this transformation.

Pang Jindong originally planned to strike first, and was already ready to give the order to fire, but found that the enemy's appearance was very strange.

Under normal circumstances, the MD government troops should immediately open up positions upon arrival, hide themselves as much as possible, and at the same time spread all their artillery at Changqing Mountain.

Anyone with a little combat experience will do this, but this MD government army does not have it, but seems to be afraid that others will not see it, and swaggers appear under the nose of the Kokang Republican Army, and the position looks even more disorganized.

Obviously, they had no intention of making operational arrangements, and after being busy in a chaotic and disorderly manner for a while, they actually began to light a fire and cook dinner, and the officers and men gathered together to talk and laugh, and the whole position showed a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

If you don't take into account the military uniforms on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, they are all tour groups that come out for a picnic.

The officers and soldiers of the Kokang Republican Army were originally tense and planned to have a bloody battle with the MD government army, but at this time, they were staring at each other, and they didn't know what to do, and finally looked at Pang Jindong and Yang Jiawei together.

Pang Jindong and Yang Jiawei were also confused, and the two stood there looking at each other without saying a word for a long time.

This peculiar silence was broken by Yang Jiawei, who took a deep breath and asked Pang Jindong: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, look, is it possible that they deliberately made this appearance to let us relax our vigilance, and then suddenly attack the mountain while we were unprepared?"

"If it's really like what you said, they should at least be ready for battle, but ......you see," Pang Jindong said, pointing out the artillery brought by the MD government army to Yang Jiawei.

The guns were parked in a mess, not only did the big rack not let go, but even the gun jacket was not taken off.

The ammunition was stacked on trucks and not unloaded next to the guns at all, in other words, the guns were not ready to fire at all.

There is a preparation time for artillery to enter the operational state, and the specific length is not fixed, but is determined by the caliber of the artillery, the automation process and the proficiency of the artillery.

In any case, this time is necessary and cannot be omitted.

If the MD government forces wanted to launch a surprise attack, then by the time they were preparing, the Kokang Republican shells had already fallen on their heads.

Moreover, the accuracy of artillery firing in a hurry will be greatly affected.

Things have come to such a point that even a layman can see that these MD government forces have no intention of fighting at all.

Yang Jiawei always maintained a hippie smile when he encountered difficulties, but his brows tightened unprecedentedly at this time.

After pondering for a long time, he proposed a possibility to Pang Jindong: "Could it be that they didn't plan to attack us at all, but planned to block us up and trap us in the mountains?"

Pang Jindong shook his head and denied this possibility: "Even if they don't plan to attack us, at least they should prevent us from breaking through, and at least combat preparations still need to be done!"

Yang Jiawei did not give up, and made persistent efforts to put forward the third possibility: "Could it be that the plank road is repaired in the open and the Chen Cang is dark? These people are placed on the bright side to attract our attention, and then send other troops to launch a sneak attack?" However, as soon as the words fell, this possibility was denied by himself: "It should not be ......."

The Kokang IRA knew too well about the Changqing Mountains and kept the entire area under effective surveillance.

Yang Jiawei once said to Pang Jindong that even if a tree fell somewhere in the Changqing Mountain area, it would only take less than a minute for the Kokang Republican Army to know.

But the information obtained so far is that in addition to the troops in front of them and those who were annihilated before, there is no second MD government army in Changqing Mountain.

Looking at the MD government army talking and laughing in the distance, Pang Jindong thought about it and finally found the answer.

During World War II, the fighting spirit of the Toei army was extremely tenacious, and under the seduction of the spirit of bushido, they even regarded death in battle as an honor.

The most prominent is the top 10 divisions, which can be called the elite of the elite, who would have thought that there was a strange fourth division among them, and when they saw the enemy walking around the road, they would never shoot if they could avoid fighting.

Considering the sloppy military discipline of the MD government army, the lack of the country's centripetal force, and the intricate ethnic relations, Pang Jindong understood that this was a war-weary force.

Thinking of this, Pang Jindong smiled indifferently and told Yang Jiawei: "Everyone is already very tired, let's start working shifts and rest now!"

At the same time.

Dechen Badan, the commander of the 206th Regiment of the 77th Division of the MD Government Army, the white rabbit on the battlefield and the shame of the soldier in the eyes of the commander of the Thonglai Division, is lying leisurely on the beach chair at the moment, looking at the Changqing Mountain in the distance.

The unit commanded by Dechen Bataan is a freak in the MD government army, and the reason for this is that this force is made up of soldiers of many different nationalities, but is equipped with advanced weapons and powerful firepower.

Generally speaking, the MD government, which is overwhelmed by ethnic minority militants, does not trust ethnic soldiers in this way.

In the eyes of many in the MD government, equipping them is tantamount to asking for trouble, but there are certain historical reasons for the birth of the 206th regiment.

Grand nationalism was once prevalent in the MD government and army, and the Burmese, as the main ethnic group, excluded other ethnic groups, making it difficult for the minority people to enter the government and the army.

At the same time, the government has adopted a policy of forced assimilation of ethnic minorities, implemented a unified script throughout the country, and forbade minority people to be educated in their own languages.

This is one of the reasons why many local ethnic groups are anti-government, and the period when the Burmese people's great nationalism is at its peak is when the situation in the MD government is at its most chaotic.

The later MD government reflected on this policy, and although it did not eradicate grand nationalism, it made certain concessions to restore the culture, customs, religions, and traditional beliefs of various ethnic groups, and to recruit ethnic minorities into the government and the military and hold important positions.

As a result, peace and happiness prevailed throughout the country, and the ceasefire agreement between the MD government and the armed factions was signed in this context.

In order to show trust and friendship to ethnic minorities, the MD government has made many gestures, including the formation of the 206th Regiment and the strong tilt in equipment.

From the bottom of his heart, the MD government did not trust the 206th Regiment, but fortunately, after this regiment was assigned to the 77th Division, it was not in trouble, but also obedient enough, and the MD government gradually felt at ease.

Thonglai, as an ethnic Burmese, was not only a supporter of a centralized system, but also a grand nationalist through and through.

Of course, he could not tolerate such a unit under the command of the 77th Division, but the 206th Regiment was a model project made by the MD government to the outside world, and the unit did not make any mistakes except for fear of war, so Thonglai was helpless.

However, this does not mean that Tonglai has done nothing, on the contrary, a very vicious arrangement has been made, that is, the 206th Regiment has been deployed to the front.

In this way, the 206th Regiment will be able to be thrown into battle as soon as the MD government forces clash with ethnic forces, including the Kokang SAR army.

According to Thonglai's wishful thinking, this can annihilate this force with the help of enemy firepower, and he can sit back and watch these aliens kill each other.

After being played by the Chinese for thousands of years, the strategy of "razing against razing" fell into the hands of Tonglai, and the result was very uneasy.

Thonglai discovered something in the 206th Regiment that neither the MD government nor the rest of the military noticed, but by coincidence or other reasons, most of the officers and men of the regiment were from Rolling Lane and nearby areas, including the regimental commander Dechen Bataan.

Unlike other MD Chinese who have been assimilated, the Kokang people have maintained their culture and traditions strongly, and their influence in the Rolling Area is very great.

The influence of the Chinese in other parts of Southeast Asia is also very large, but it is mainly reflected in the economic field, and the Kokang people are different from them, and the influence is mainly reflected in the culture.

Kokang people attach great importance to education, and Chinese schools have always insisted on teaching, and even in the era when it was banned by the MD government, Chinese education was carried out privately under various names.
