Chapter 20: Pathet Liao's Company
Everyone entered the vault office, and Lin Tao had already opened the safe.
Yingya is the great butler, and her task is to check the ledger. Xu Tianyi's interest is not in wealth, she cares about archives. She took out one and flipped through it, then picked up another and flipped through a few pages from front to back. At last, he took out a copy of each bundle and flipped it, frowning first with a grim face, and then smiling mischievously.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xu? You seem to ......" Yu Song was far from puzzled.
"These files are all from the CIA, and most of the archives of Lancang's 'secret war' are hidden here! All the 'achievements' of the CIA in the past few decades in Indochina, and the ideas of the people of country M for the next few decades of Indochina are basically in it. A large amount of the content involves some domestic and foreign institutions and personnel in our country, so it is top secret. You haven't seen it, but if you want to see it, you have to be honest, and I'm going to sign a confidentiality agreement with you. ”
Although Xu Tianyi smiled, he spoke coldly, and anyone could hear the meaning behind his words.
Yu Songyuan hurriedly said, "Don't scare us, absolutely not, I promise responsibly, and the witch can prove it." At that time, I emphasized that only Mr. Xu and Team Leader Yang had the right to watch it. I know that the witch also has the right to see it, but she also deliberately didn't see it, saying that she wanted you to see it. A few of us are actually more interested in the seizure of so much wealth! ”
Xu Tianyi waved his hand, "It's not that exaggerated, it's best if I haven't seen it." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "There are many things that are safest if you don't understand them." Now I order, set up explosives here, and before we get all the files back, if outsiders show up, make sure to blow them up immediately! Completely blow up! Completely destroyed! ”
"Yes!"
She used three exclamation points in a row, and the four members of the team were so frightened that they stood up and answered in unison!
"You don't have to be so nervous, okay?" Seeing that everyone jumped up as if they were being burned by fire, Xu Tianyi smiled again, "Among these files, there are twenty or thirty diaries of the battle behind enemy lines recorded by the White Star Force at that time, revealing many mysteries that we once couldn't solve......"
When everyone heard that there was a mystery, they pricked up their ears. Lin Tao said, "Reveal a person who can say, mention the ......"
Xu Tianyi picked up a dossier, "This dossier marked as 'Secret' is entitled "Analysis of the Combat Strength of the Chinese Army's Entering the Liao". There are more than a dozen attachments inside, all written by the same agent. It's just that it is also recorded here that the author committed suicide after drafting the report. These things may be helpful to you! ”
Yu Songyuan stretched out his hand to take it, only to see the yellowed text jiàn, bound together, all copies of the report uniformly bound by the CIA Embassy in Lancang that year. The author is indeed an agent named Luo Qiong, and the report comprehensively analyzes and evaluates the combat experience, combat ability, sacrificial spirit, morale of the troops, and the soldiers' suza of a company of the Chinese Army less than a month after entering the dormitory.
On the cover of the thick annex, a line of large English characters first caught everyone's eyes, "Jian yì avoid war with the Chinese on the ground of Laos!" ”
"Luo Qiong? Could it be that the one who commanded the secret war in the mountains back then would be a female agent? Lin Tao muttered to himself.
Lin Zhumin burst into his head, "Is it strange? Are there fewer women when you lead? Could it be that the one who is here today is not a female agent who is commanding the secret war? ”
"Cut!" Xu Tianyi ignored their fighting, Yingya glanced at them, but took a sip.
Several people became interested, gathered together, and quietly flipped through the pages. The records of these CIA operatives are concise but coherent, and they are a true record of combat operations against the advance units of the Chinese Army......
On May 10, 1968, a "Bad Liao Company", heavily armed in a camouflaged car, suddenly appeared in the Lancang border area with China under the cover of night.
The appearance of this small, well-armed unit quickly attracted the attention of the CIA's intelligence teams stationed in the Shangliao area. It turned out that as early as February 28, 1968, China and Pathet Liao of Lancang signed the "Minutes of the Meeting between China and Laos on the Issue of Highway Construction" in Beijing. Soon after the minutes were signed, the CIA sniffed out the smell and quickly judged that China might send engineering troops and air defense units into Beiliao to build roads.
In order to prevent China's covert involvement, the C.I.A.'s strategists developed a special "Luo Qiong Plan." Luo Qiong, a special intelligence officer, was urgently transferred from the "front line" in Europe, and a special intelligence collection and strike team behind enemy lines was formed in Chaolong Town, the hometown of Wang Bao's "special forces," to enter the jungle area on the border between China and Lancang to monitor and eliminate a small reconnaissance force that China might send.
Lin Tao guessed not right, Luo Qiong is not a female agent. Before that, he was not a member of the CIA, and Luo Qiong's resume was recorded in the file.
Luo Qiong, a native of Keelung, Taiwan, is the illegitimate son of the Wa Guojun Cao and the Keelung bar waiter, and has been adventurous since childhood. Shortly after the "Bay of Pigs Incident", Luo Qiong went to study in country M and was recruited by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) of country M. After two years of systematic training, he graduated with a grade "A" and became an operational agent in the Planning Directorate of the "Special Military Operation".
DIA is a specialized intelligence unit serving the Department of Defense of Country M, and the Special Military Operations Program Bureau is a covert force responsible for the world's top secret military operations operations. During the Cold War, its main task was to deal with the operational bureaus of the KGB.
At the beginning of 1965, Luo Qiong was stationed in Europe, where he was invincible for several years, and his KGB opponents had enough of suffering. One of the most successful battles took place in Paris, France, where he got his local "girlfriend" out of the horse and strangled a lieutenant colonel of the M Army in Bonn, who had been rebelled by the KGB in East Germany, in the bathtub, and succeeded in blaming the KGB.
This campaign brought the European headquarters of the KGB in East Germany to the back of a black cauldron, and almost discredited it, but it made Luo Qiong famous and became the DIA's most legendary operation team leader in Western Europe.
Due to the possible intervention of the Chinese army, the "secret war" in Lancang is about to usher in an unpredictable turning point. It was in this context that the CIA intervened through the Ministry of National Defense to transfer Luo Qiong from DIA to the CIA's Wudong headquarters.
Luo Qiong entered the Lancang primeval jungle and began to closely monitor the border movements. He deliberately let out a rumor, "As long as China dares to send troops, they will be wiped out on the border between China and Laos." Luo Qiong analyzed that the places where the Chinese engineering troops want to build roads are all primeval rainforests, and the antiaircraft artillery troops cannot enter.
His plan was to call the Air Force of Country M at the Ubon Ratchathani base as soon as he discovered that the Chinese army had entered the jungle in Shangliao, and use air superiority to wipe out the Chinese army in the jungle. After the air force bombing is completed, the Miao "special operations unit" of more than 1,200 people stationed in the small town of Mengkua will be responsible for clearing the ground and eliminating the remaining Chinese soldiers.
Luo Qiong's plan was not utopian or arrogant. As a matter of fact, as early as January 7, 1968, country M brazenly dispatched bombers to secretly invade the Miaozhai area on the Sino-Laos border in China's Yunnan Province, carrying out bombing and strafing, causing huge losses in people and property.
The terrain is also very favourable for Luo Qiong. The route that the Chinese army had to pass through was located in the Shangliao area in the north of Lancang, with high mountains and dense forests, sparsely populated population, and miasma epidemic. At the end of World War II, the primeval jungle of Shangliao once swallowed more than 11,000 Japanese soldiers at one time. Only to this day, the jungle is full of bones.
From April to September 1944, General Wei Lihuang of the Chinese Expeditionary Force mobilized and commanded 16 divisions with a total of 160,000 men to launch a fatal blow on the stubborn enemy who had been on the Tenglong line for two years on the left and right flanks. From this battle to September 14, 1944, the border city of Tengchong was recovered, during which hundreds of battles were fought and more than 6,000 Japanese troops were annihilated in Tengchong.
The largest battle of the Battle of Western Yunnan was the Battle of Songshan. After the Japanese army occupied Longling, it established a strong defense system with Longling Songshan as the core, known as the "Maginot Line of the East" and "Gibraltar of the East". The bloody battle of Songshan experienced 10 major battles and hundreds of small battles, and finally conquered Songshan by means of tunnel blasting, annihilating more than 3,000 Japanese troops, creating a classic example of jungle warfare in the world's military history.
After Songshan was destroyed, Longling was also recovered in September, and the elite 14,000 Japanese troops were completely annihilated. During the Battle of Songshan, the Japanese army sent troops five times in an attempt to enter Yunnan in China through the Guò region to reinforce the defenders in the Longling area. However, the Japanese army that entered the primeval jungle of Shangliao, during the passage through the primeval jungle, was successively killed by malaria, dysentery, hepatitis and other diseases, and was only conquered at Songshan, and not a single soldier was able to reinforce the battlefield.
Luo Qiong was familiar with this history, and when he found that a company wearing Bad Liao clothing crossed the Mohan port in Mengla County, Yunnan Province, and abandoned the car into the primeval jungle, he was surprised to find that this company was a Chinese army camouflaged, and in the middle of the queue, there were several older people. He quickly called the police to the headquarters in Dragon Town, and then split his 13-man special forces team into two parts and monitored the force from afar.
According to his understanding of the Chinese army, the big man in the protection of this small unit is at least a big cadre at the division level who is responsible for highway construction. They must be surveying the route, but they dare to enter the jungle with only one company to protect them, Luo Qiong didn't expect it. On May 9, when the company entered the territory of Lancang Nadui County, Luo Qiong felt that the time had come.
He quickly relayed information about the location of the bombing to the Ubon Ratchathani base.
At 10 a.m., the sun had just come out and the fog had cleared over the jungle. One Army M reconnaissance plane flew over the jungle, followed by four bombers over the jungle. The jungle was so dense that the Chinese army suddenly and mysteriously disappeared when the planes flew in. The bomber circled a few times and could not find the target, so it had to follow the direction indicated by Luo Qiong and leave after bombing.
But as soon as the plane left, the company began to march again, as if it had come out of the ground. It seems that the plane bombing just now has nothing to do with them. Luo Qiong was terrified, this was an incredible force, they were no strangers to the jungle, they were like fish in water. The steel bombs of the Air Force of Army M had no effect at all on the Chinese troops in the jungle.
Luo Qiong changed his decision in an instant, the Air Force didn't work, then attack on the ground!
