Qiu Guoping said, "According to the instructions of the second department, after the completion of your mission, the eight jungle warriors of our Southwest Flying Eagle will all accept your command, please give orders!" ”

"The situation is urgent, and I am not polite anymore, and accept the command. Major and witch, no opinion, right? ”

Yu Songyuan looked at Chu Hui, Chu Hui and Zheng Shuwen nodded and said that they had no objection, and at the same time took off the badge and rank mark of the Annan Army on their bodies, while Yu Songyuan and the others quickly took off the Annan Army uniform and buried them together.

"After the Celestial Escape and the two Jungle Warriors were broken, the Ghost Hand and the two Jungle Warriors were broken, and the Major and the Witch walked in the center. Pay attention to flank safety and go! ”

At the sound of the order, the team quickly formed a combat formation, quickly left the landing area, drilled into the dense forest, and quickly advanced to the northeast. Soon they crossed the border and entered the dense primeval tropical jungle of Honsavady.

Lin Zhumin and two army jungle soldiers opened the way in front, occasionally slashing branches and rattans in the way with their knives. Liu Guodong and the two jungle warriors broke off behind, and constantly set up defensive facilities such as mines, tripwires, hidden arrows, and slingshots along the way.

Qiu Guoping and Lin Tao were responsible for the security of the left and right flanks, and the team traveled quickly.

By noon, the team had climbed a hill where the Mekong River could already be seen below the cliffs. It winds through the mountains, and the river is flanked by lofty mountains, steep cliffs, and sparsely populated.

Yu Songyuan took a visual look, from the cliff under his feet to the surface of the river, the straight line was also thousands of meters. Moreover, although the river is narrow, the current is fast, and the pursuers are approaching, so it is impossible to wade across the river. More than ten kilometers upstream, there is a faint outline of a village by the river.

"Ghost, tail in the back!" Liu Guodong reported through the headset.

"Who is the judge?"

"Can't tell, but certainly a jungle veteran...... They're fighting! Liu Guodong didn't finish speaking, and exclaimed in a low voice.

Before the words fell, about a kilometer or two behind the team, fierce gunfire and fierce explosions suddenly rang out. From the sound, it can be clearly heard that there are M-made M series firearms, AK47 series, especially Chinese Type 56 submachine guns, and Type 81 assault rifles, which are extremely clear.

"This is an exchange of fire between the M Army and the local armed forces, and I suggest that we quickly break away, jump out of the battlefield, and move closer to Jingmeng, a village along the river, more than ten kilometers away, and strive to seize the boat to cross the Mekong River at night." Lao Qiu said vigilantly as he watched the left side of the line. Yu Songyuan glanced at Chu Hui and Zheng Shuwen, and they both nodded in agreement.

Yu Songyuan said to Mike, "All pay attention, stay vigilant, and accelerate upstream along the river!" After the order was given, Yu Songyuan commanded the team to move quickly in the jungle, and once again quickly weighed the situation!

The Delta combat team of Army M is fighting with the local armed forces at this time, is it to cover our retreat? No way! The operation was kept secret and was kept secret for a minimum of fifty years, according to regulations. During the mission, many decisions were made on the spot by the brother team, and they could not have known about it.

So, why exactly? A series of questions appeared in Yu Songyuan's mind, and he couldn't figure it out. Since they did not understand their intentions, they could not entangle with them, and they had to quickly leave the battlefield and try to cross the Mekong as soon as possible.

In the evening, the team went through hardships and approached the small town of Jingmeng, which is near the river.

Outside the edge of the woodland, in the terraced fields, ridges, and valleys around the town, all the poppies are cultivated. Throughout the Kam Shan Kok region, opium poppy has become the dominant industry and the main source of livelihood for the local population. As a result, the Golden Triangle has become the most notorious drug-producing area in the world.

Located on the riverside at the junction of Honsawaddy and Siam, Jingmeng is a stronghold of the Wa guerrilla base of the Communist Party of Burma, that is, an important town in Southern Wa. This humble town enjoys a pivotal position in the world-famous "drug capital" Golden Triangle. Li Guohui, Li Mi, Luo Xinghan, Kun Sha and other big drug lords of all dynasties have used this place as a strategic channel for exporting drugs.

Li Guohui, known as "General Xiao Li", is the head of the 709th Regiment of Li Mi's Eighth Corps and the originator of the Golden Triangle. Without Li Guohui, there would be no Golden Triangle, the world-famous drug kingdom.

In 1949, the Eighth Corps was defeated by Lin Biao's headquarters of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Li Guohui led more than 3,000 troops to cross the Liangshan Mountains from Xichang in Sichuan Province and enter the jungles of southern Yunnan. Half a month later, Li Guohui joined the 278th regiment led by Tan Zhong, who had crossed the border a few days earlier.

The two of them established the "General Headquarters of the Rejuvenation Force of the Republic of China" in Xiaomeng, in the northeast of the Golden Triangle, and there were only more than 1,600 combatants after the merger of the remnants. They continued to gather their routs, eventually reaching 35,000 troops, and reached a "treaty" of peaceful coexistence with the Hungsavwady government, which acquiesced to the existence of the remnants.

Li Guohui sat in Mengza, and in order to ensure the survival of these tens of thousands of people, armed smuggling of opium became Li Guohui's family industry. With the arrival of Li Guohui, drug production in the Golden Triangle began to gradually enter a prosperous period.

In 1950, Chiang Kai-shek sent Li Mi to lead his troops to retreat to the border areas of Burma, Lancang and Thailand, and served as the chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government and the director of the Yunnan Pacification Office. Li Guohui and Tan Zhong completely handed over military power to Li Mi, so the opium production and trafficking in the Golden Triangle ushered in the Li Mi era and Liu Yuanlin era successively.

The production of opium in the Golden Triangle region, before Li Guohui's arrival in 1949, was only 37 tons per year. By 1959, the Golden Triangle had gone through three eras: Li Guohui, Li Mi and Liu Yuanlin, with an annual output of only 60 tons per year. At this time, the appearance of the Golden Triangle is not striking, and the output of drugs is not as large as that of Siam, Lancang, and Annam, and these countries have an annual drug output of more than 100 tons.

Later, another "hero" was born, bringing the drug production in the Golden Triangle into the "golden age". It's a pity that this tyrant is a drug lord, the most notorious Golden Triangle drug lord of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Kun Sha.

In the early 50s, Khun Sha joined the remnants of Li Mi stationed in the Shan Gang, and after learning some military knowledge and tactical knowledge, he organized a small drug trafficking army specializing in escorting drugs, and began to get involved in drug production and trafficking. In 1962, Khun Sa pledged allegiance to the Honsawaddy government and was appointed "Commander of the People's Self-Defense Forces in the Langliang District."

After obtaining legal status, Khun Sha gradually seized the Shan gang that Li Mi once controlled, and vigorously developed opium poppy cultivation, collected drug transit taxes, and established morphine and heroin refineries to directly produce and sell drugs. His troops have also grown to more than 10,000 people, equipped with American-style M-16 rifles and other equipment, and purchased Polar Bear army-standard anti-aircraft missiles. Khun Sa is the largest rebel in Hungsavady, controlling 80 percent of the drug trade in the entire Golden Triangle.

Under Khun Sha's management, the "Golden Triangle" leapt over Colombia to become the world's largest drug kingdom. In 1970 production reached 1,000 tons, and in the early eighties, it climbed to the level of 2,000 tons per year, breaking the world record. Kun Sha himself has become the world's biggest drug lord and "opium king".

The small town of Jingmeng is located on the choke point of drug circulation, but even when Khun Sa was in power, it could not be completely controlled, and its actual control was always the once glorious Burmese Communist guerrillas.

In 1939, at the end of the British colonial rule in Burma, Dechen Dandong and a group of intellectuals who had read Marxist-Leninist works initiated the establishment of the Communist Party of Burma. Since then, the Communist Party of Burma, as an important political force, has stepped onto the political stage of Honsawady.

By the mid-sixties, the development of the Communist Party of Burma had entered its golden heyday. The base area has grown to nine areas, with a population of nearly one million, and the armed forces have grown to more than 30,000 people. In the southern Wa where Jing Meng was located, the guerrillas also grew to two brigades, with a total of four battalions.

At this time, the Communist Party of Burma, as a political force, already had a strong social foundation. The Burmese Communist Forces, on the other hand, have become a formidable military force that is almost equal to the government forces. However, the fortress was always breached from within, and in the mid-sixties, the Communist Party of Burma, at the peak of its development, was buried by internal turmoil!

From the end of 1966, the Communist Party of Burma launched a bloody "intra-party revolution", ruthlessly attacking, infighting, and killing each other, seriously weakening the Communist Party of Burma and the "People's Army". In the spring of 1968, the Hungawaddy government took advantage of the great turmoil within the Communist Party of Burma, and the government army launched a large-scale attack on the central base area of the Communist Party of Burma in the Bago Mountains with two main divisions (the 77th Division and the 88th Division).

The Burmese Communist Party was unable to meet the war in the civil strife and suffered a major military defeat, so it had to retreat into the mountainous areas of northeastern Burma.

With military defeat, depleted foreign aid, and economic strain, the Burmese Communist Party was in dire straits, and the troops began to use the opium trade to solve their source of funding. The opium business has gradually become the main source of funding for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Burma, and the four military regions and even some guerrilla units have also operated this road one after another, and all units of the "People's Army" have shown their talents to make money, selling yellow arsenic, opium, and even setting up factories to process heroin.

Jingmeng Town is under the control of the Nanwa guerrillas, and naturally becomes an important node for drug transportation.

The Delta Squad of Army M entered Jinshan Kok and attracted the attention of local armed forces such as the Shan State Liberation Army (MTA) in Khun Sa and the Burmese Communist Party guerrillas in Nam Wa, allowing the Brothers and the Flying Eagle Jungle Fighters to quickly disengage from the local armed forces.

"Attention Gordon, attention to the whole team, there are people around us peeping, pay attention to the search!" Yu Songyuan ordered.

"Team Yu, there should be no threat from this peep." Chu Hui said.

"Someone has been quietly following us, whether there is a threat or not, we should also strengthen our vigilance!" Qiu Guoping, an expert in jungle warfare, naturally sensed that someone was peeping at the team.

Jingmeng Town has a population of only 1,000 people, dozens of rows of bamboo buildings, and almost no brick houses. But on the edge of the northern woodland of the town, there is a wood-framed factory, which is a large drug processing factory. It is a transit point on the Mekong River waterway, and more than a dozen cargo ships are temporarily moored at the wharf along the river.
