Chapter Seventy-Five: Unite with the Old Warlords and Sweep Pontianak City!
At 9 a.m. on February 28, 1975, Lu Minda brought me a major uniform of the Self-Defense Army, and he asked me to wear it to a meeting with Wujiashan about joint military operations.
After putting on my costume, I followed Lu Minda to the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces.
When we arrived in the courtyard of the headquarters, we saw General Lu and Deputy Commander Fang and other high-ranking members of the Self-Defense Army, who were waiting in the courtyard for Wujiashan and other high-ranking local military leaders.
General Lu smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Today, you're going to play my military advisor! We introduce you to a highly talented student who graduated from an internationally renowned military academy! When the time comes, you just need to speak English, although Wu Jiashan is Chinese, but he only understands English! You put yourself in his shoes, just tell me what you told me last night, and tell him again! ”
I said, "Okay! Wait a minute, call me Jack, Jack is our English name! ”
General Lu smiled and said, "JACK MAJOR! That's a nice title! ”
At half past nine o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen high-ranking military officials of Wujiashan and his party drove several military vehicles into the courtyard of the headquarters majestically.
After they got out of the car, we walked up to them with General Lu and other senior members of the Self-Defense Army!
Wu Jiashan is a bald and fat man, as tall as me, about fifty years old.
After introducing each other, everyone walked into the operational conference room of the headquarters to prepare for the meeting.
The local army sat on one side of the negotiating table with Lieutenant General Wujiashan as the center, the Self-Defense Forces sat on one side of the negotiating table with General Lu as the center, and Deputy Commander Fang and I sat on either side of General Lu.
After everyone sat down, the moderator, General Lu, began to hold the meeting in English.
General Lu said: "Thank you very much for the arrival of General Wujiashan and his entourage! Since time is pressing, we will not be polite! I'll let the new military adviser of the Self-Defense Forces, a top student of an internationally renowned military school, Major Jack! Tell us what he thinks about this joint operation! Then, let's discuss the division of labor for this joint action! ”
After I was polite, from the position and perspective of Wujiashan, I was righted about the joint operation, under the current military situation, how to encircle the central army without fighting?! How to suddenly attack the headquarters of the Central Army and control the key sectors of the city of Pontianak ?! How to take over the city?! After the victory of the operation, how to publicize the content to the outside world?! How to win the sympathy and support of the international community?! How to communicate and coordinate with the highest authorities to gain a favorable position and recognition?! and other key issues for a comprehensive elaboration!
After Wu Jiashan listened, he stood up and slapped the table and said, "Beautiful! Perfect! Major Jack is really a top student! General Lu! I completely agree with Major Jack's concept of action, as well as strategy and tactics! Currently, we have 60,000 elite troops conducting military exercises near Pontianak! As long as I give an order, these elite troops can surround the Central Army at any time! However, I am a little reluctant to let you self-defense forces do all the hard work and life-saving things! ”
General Lu smiled and said, "General Wu! Pontianak was originally our defense area, and it is within our duty for us to attack Pontianak! At the same time, as General Wu, we should shield General Wu from the wind and rain and immediately slash! After the victory in the battle, we helped General Wu manage the Pontianak region! Serve the general of the martial arts! ”
Wu Jiashan smiled and said, "Very good! General Lu! When the operation is over, I will definitely ask the highest authorities to appoint you as the supreme governor of Kuncheng District!" And give you the title of lieutenant general, commanding an army of 60,000 men! In this way, you should be satisfied, right!? ”
General Lu smiled and said, "If that's the case! We must do whatever it takes to defeat Kuncheng for General Wu! Let General Wu sit back and relax from now on and be promoted to general! Command the Twenty-Fifth Army! ”
Wujiashan slapped the table and laughed!
He said, "All right! General Lu, let my generals discuss a specific plan of action with your people! Your food here is really terrible! I'll rush back to my temporary headquarters for lunch! ”
Then, after arranging his military uniform, Wu Jiashan shook hands with General Lu and me.
Wu Jiashan patted me on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Major Jack! I'm so impressed with you! Lu Qiangjun is a ruined temple without oil and water! If you have a chance, you should go to my place! You must have done a lot with me! I'll make you a little bully! Do you understand?! ”
I said, "Thank you General Wu for your appreciation!" General Lu is a relative of mine! I'm just passing through here and coming to help! General Wu! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit you! ”
After General Wu said goodbye to us, he went looking for us with a few entourages.
Most of the local army stayed behind to discuss the plan of action and details with senior SDF officials.
After the meeting, Lu Minda sent me back to the barracks to rest!
......
At about 2 p.m., General Lu called me to his office.
We talked on the couch.
General Lu said, "Ah Cai! With your help, our joint military operation with Samurai Mountain has been decided! Tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the evening, more than 3,000 people from the Self-Defense Forces will meet the goods at the designated dock, and you will be responsible for answering the people who will contact the ship's delivery! After receiving weapons and ammunition, we equipped the troops and transported goods on the spot! You led your people to pretend to be members of the Central Army's International Advisory Group to rescue Liu Fang and them in the name of arraignment prisoners! When the time comes, Lu Minda and Fang Guohui will lead the way for you! After your rescue was successful, the Self-Defense Forces began a large-scale attack on the relevant military camps, enemy headquarters, and key parts of the city! ”
I said, "Okay! We act according to General Lu's deployment! However, there is a question I would like to ask you?! ”
General Lu said, "Ah Cai! You say! ”
I said, "General Lu! What do you think of Ye Hailong and Liu Fang, how are these two? ”
General Lu said, "Oh! These two are like a couple! In fact, by very chance, we accepted 25 of them from the mainland, and at the end of last year, they were fighting with the military and police in the city of Jakarta! When the military police pursued, they hid in one of our local offices! We saw that they were Chinese compatriots, so we protected and contained them! And sent them back to our base area, after they arrived here, I made Ye Hailong a squad leader, leading more than sixty team members! At that time, Ye Hailong had a little money, and they bought some equipment weapons and ammunition themselves! Help the self-defense forces get some weapons and food in the enemy barracks! At the time, I wasn't very supportive of them doing this! However, they are eager to fight, and I can't pour cold water on them! Alas, in the operation that followed, they were basically wiped out! ”
I said, "Yes! This time, my mission is to rescue the detainees and bring them back to the mainland alive! However, Ye Hailong said that he and Liu Fang want to keep you to continue working! Are you willing to accept them again? ”
General Lu said, "Ah Cai! I know you're mainland agents! Ye Hailong has done a lot of things that don't match his identity! If he goes back now, there will be no good fruit for them to eat at your headquarters! Just let the two of them stay with us and avoid the limelight! You tell your headquarters that I just have to keep them! Wait a minute, I'll ask Lu Minda to inform Ye Hailong to return to the team and let him participate in our military operation!" After that, you won't have to worry about the two of them! ”
I said, "Okay! Thank you, General Lou, for your help! ”
General Lu smiled and said, "Alas! We are relatives! In the future, don't be so polite! ”
Everyone laughed!
......
At 8 o'clock in the morning of March 1, Lu Minda and Fang Guohui sent several sets of clothing, shoes and other equipment of the international advisory group to several of us who participated in the rescue operation, and they prepared military certificates and special passes for us from the puppet army!
Since Dr. Wei's physical strength had not fully recovered, I asked him to stay in the barracks to recuperate.
Me, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Niu Shilong, and Du Wentao formed a rescue team, with Lu Minda and Fang Guohui.
After distributing the clothes and equipment, Lu Minda drew us a floor plan of the temporary prison where Liu Fang was being held.
Then, Lu Minda introduced to us the location of the prison, the layout of the internal and external buildings, the internal personnel and firepower, etc.
After Lu Minda's introduction, the rescue team carried out an internal division of operations.
After everyone understood their tasks, we began to make the final preparations before the operation, and then we went to rest.
......
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, our group of seven drove the truck we had bought and set off from the barracks of the Self-Defense Forces to our destination!
Along the way, we saw troops of the Self-Defense Forces and the Local Army, marching in large groups on foot or in trucks, and the roads were full of dust!
We have seen that all the guards who had been inspected at the border have been replaced by guards from the Self-Defense Forces or local armies, and not a single guard from the Central Army has disappeared!
As a result, our trucks are moving unimpeded!
However, we can feel the tension here, and a big war is about to break out!
......
At 10:30 p.m., our truck arrived in the courtyard of a residential house very close to the cargo terminal.
Here, we met with Deputy Commander Fang Jianguo and other leaders of the Self-Defense Forces who were responsible for receiving the arms.
Deputy Commander Fang said, "Mr. Zhou! More than 2,000 people who are responsible for receiving goods here, as well as a large number of vehicles, have been ambushed around this wharf. As soon as you blow this bird whistle, they will come from the surrounding area to receive the goods! ”
Deputy Commander Fang took out two bird whistles and handed them to me and Xiao Da.
I said, "Commander Fang! When do we enter the site? ”
Deputy Commander Fang said: "No hurry! At 11:35 p.m., you will enter the site and connect with the shipper! ”
They gave us a small room where we could change our clothes and rest.
......
At 11:35 p.m., the five of us arrived near the abandoned dock.
After I looked at the watch, Xiaoda and I walked into the unloading yard of the abandoned dock with the bird whistle.
We saw that next to the unloading platform at the wharf, a supply warship of the South Vietnamese Army was already docked!
There were several South Vietnamese soldiers standing on the edge of the pier, one of them was Tran Jia Phuoc, Ah Phuoc!
As we walked up to them, I shouted, "Ah Fu! I'm Ah Cai! ”
Ah Fu ran over to shake hands with me and said, "Brother Cai! You're finally here! We will unload the goods immediately, you immediately notify your people, come and inspect and pick up the goods! ”
So, I blew the bird whistle!
Suddenly, Deputy Commander Fang immediately entered the freight yard with his troops and dozens of trucks!
At the same time, a part of the Self-Defense Army soldiers immediately imposed a full martial law and security around the pier!
I introduced Ah Fu to them, Deputy Commander Fang.
After that, Ah Fu and the others put down the unloading platform in the stern compartment of the supply ship!
Then, more than 200 loading and unloading personnel began to move military vehicles, heavy machine guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, weapon boxes, ammunition boxes, various equipment boxes and packaging materials from the ship to the dock unloading platform, and stacked these goods neatly and neatly.
Deputy Commander Fang turned on the flashlight and took the acceptance list to check the category, quality and quantity of the goods!
......
At 12:30 p.m., the Self-Defense Forces and Ah Fu finally completed the handover of the goods.
Deputy Commander Fang said: "Ah Cai! The goods are all right! It's just a dozen more boxes of medicines! What's going on? ”
Ah Fu smiled and said, "We are friends with Ah Cai!" Know you're going to do great things! For you! ”
Deputy Commander Fang smiled and said, "Okay! Ah Cai's friend is so good! We took it! ”
As a result, Deputy Commander Fang and the others began to have some of the SDF fighters arm others on the spot, and some of the SDF fighters began to carry those equipment and weapons to the trucks.
Ah Fu shook my hand and said, "Ah Cai! It's time for us to go! On March 3rd, at 8pm, we will be waiting for you at Pier 6! Let's go back to Hong Kong City together! ”
I said, "Okay! There's something big going on here tonight! Be careful! ”
Ah Fu smiled and said, "No! Our gunboats! They don't dare to wild us! Just stand at a distance and take a look, don't try your best! You know? ”
After the conversation, Ah Fu and the others ran to the supply ship!
After that, they put away the stern unloading platform of the supply ship!
Then their supply ship quickly left the dock, sailed out into the open sea, and disappeared into the night!
......
Deputy Commander Fang, they commanded more than 3,000 Self-Defense Army fighters to equip the vehicles, weapons and ammunition on the docks!
The rest of the equipment and supplies were transported away by dozens of trucks one after another!
The whole scene here is busy and orderly, very spectacular, shocking!
After our rescue team quickly assembled, we also started equipping the docks with their own sidearms and ammo!
Lu Minda and Fang Guohui quickly drove two military jeeps!
We installed two machine guns, boxes of grenades and weapons and ammunition on the two vehicles.
After our rescue team was equipped, we quickly got in the car and left the dock!
After we got out of the dock, Lu Minda and Fang Guohui drove a jeep to the barracks and prison where Liu Fang and other comrades-in-arms were rescued!
In the car, everyone checked the guns and made all preparations for battle.
On the way, we see that the newly equipped units of the Self-Defense Forces have already set off in different directions in trucks!
At the same time, heavily armed self-defense forces without cars are rushing to various attack sites!
Once they enter the various attack locations, the countdown to the outbreak of a major war will begin!
......
Soon, on the way to the rescue site, we saw that the city began to have a power outage, and the city turned into a dark and terrifying place, which was the self-defense forces that cut off the power to the entire city as planned!
At about 1 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the temporary prison where prisoners of war were held!
We see that the lights are still on here, and the backup power should be enabled.
I showed the guards standing guard at the gate a special pass and a military ID.
I said in English: "Guards! We are from the International Advisory Group of the Command, and now we are arraigning the prisoners! Tell you that the warden will come here and see me right away! ”
The guards did not dare to be sloppy and immediately opened the door for us!
One of our military vehicles drove into the compound, and the other happened to block the gate.
The guards called to inform their warden to come and see us.
Soon a sleepy-eyed lieutenant officer came down from the upper floor.
Under the lights, he saw that my costume had the sign of the rank of major!
So he immediately stood up and saluted me!
I said, "Late at night! However, the matter is urgent! We're going to bring all the prisoners of the last armed assault here to trial! ”
He said, "Mr. Major! Do you have a certificate of arraignment? ”
I put a gun to his head and said, "You're confused! So late, where are we going to open the arraignment? If you don't bring anyone to me, I'll shoot you!" ”
At this time, he seemed to come to his senses!
He said, "I'm sorry! Sir! I'll bring you someone right away! ”
So, the officer shouted at a group of soldiers in the local dialect!
Not only the prison soldiers, eight prisoners were brought to our car!
Among them, I only recognize Liu Fang, and I don't know the others!
Niu Shilong and Lu Minda recognized the other seven people as our colleagues!
After Niu Shilong and Lu Minda nodded to me at the same time, they escorted the eight prisoners into our two jeeps!
After the prisoner was handed over, the officer asked me to sign the handover form!
So, I scribbled a few strokes on the pre-submission form!
So, our two jeeps took all of us and those who were rescued out of the makeshift prison!
After we left the prison, we galloped towards our pick-up point!
......
Soon after, two or three kilometers after we left the prison, we arrived at the meeting place where we were to be taken back to the guerrilla zone.
At this time, a self-defense army truck was parked here, and I, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Niu Shilong, Du Wentao, and eight people who had just been rescued were about to get off here.
Lu Minda asked us to leave our weapons and ammunition and hurry up to the self-defense army truck and return to the guerrilla zone to treat the rescued wounded, and he and Fang Guohui are about to participate in the battle against the puppet army headquarters!
After six of us helped the eight rescued people into the car, we drove away in the truck!
At this time, Lu Minda ordered a soldier next to him to launch a signal light!
The creep pulls out the flare gun and pulls the trigger!
Suddenly, with the sound of a gunshot, the light of the signal flare pierced the sky!
Soon, we heard a dense sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of the barracks of our rescuers just now!
Soon, explosions and gunshots were heard all over the city!
At this time, the entire assault battle of the Self-Defense Forces began in full swing!
I saw that after Lu Minda and Fang Guohui started the two jeeps, they each carried seven or eight soldiers!
Then they drove in a jeep in the direction of the enemy's headquarters!
They're going there to fight!
Our trucks quickly headed for the base of the Self-Defense Forces!
In the car, Liu Fang hugged me and cried loudly!
She cried out, "Ah Cai! You are our good brother! We're sorry for you! ”
I said, "Liu Fang! Don't think about the past! It's all in the past! There is still hope for you, start over! ”
After Liu Fang's mood stabilized, she introduced Lu Pinzheng, Cheng Science and other rescued people to us.
We saw that each of the rescued people was very weak, had varying degrees of pain, and was in rags!
We distributed food and water, and they devoured it!
We all cried when we saw their embarrassment!
After eating, they all rested!
Soon, they all let out sleeping snoring!
