Chapter 21: Luo Qiong's Advice
On June 15, the Chinese company set out from Mengsai and camped in the jungle when it arrived at Mengtongzhai at night.
That night, a member of the Roqiong Secret Service team with a radio station mysteriously disappeared, and Roqiong urgently changed the code and decided to attack the small unit. He quickly devised a plan to ambush a reinforced battalion of more than 600 Miao "special forces" on the road that China's small forces must pass, that is, at the fork mouth leading to Mengtong. Luo Qiong also made a backup plan, that is, if the blocking failed, the M Air Force would be instructed to bomb again the next day.
However, in the second half of the night, the Miao "special forces" were afraid of the battle, retreated without authorization, and reported that the Chinese army had two battalions. Luo Qiong, who had been monitoring the Chinese army in the jungle, naturally did not believe that the Chinese army had two battalions. But what made him even more frustrated was that the small Chinese army had mysteriously disappeared right under his nose.
It wasn't until June 25, on the banks of the Nanwu River in Mengkua County, that Luo Qiong once again discovered the figure of this small army. This is an uninhabited rainforest area, and the Chinese army is apparently running out of food, so they feed themselves by digging wild vegetables and catching small animals. Luo Qiong urgently summoned the M Air Force at the Ubon base and began bombing the target rainforest.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of June 28, Luo Qiong enjoyed the "wonderful performance" of the air force of country M from the perspective of a soldier of country M on a high mountain on the bank of the Nanwu River.
At 10 o'clock, a reconnaissance plane of the M Army flew over the rainforest, and Luo Qiong quickly pointed out the direction accurately through the guò hand-held radio. The reconnaissance plane circled and fired three flares. Four F104 Phantom bombers came one after another, like bombs the size of gasoline drums, and dropped them from the plane. In an instant, the mountains on the banks of the Nanwu River cracked, and the black smoke rose into the air. Smoke billowed from the mountains, and shrapnel flew sideways.
The bombing lasted a full hour. Luo Qiong witnessed hell on earth, and he firmly believed that no animal could survive such a fierce bombardment. However, what puzzled and frustrated him was that as soon as the plane flew away after the "show" and the smoke in the jungle had not dispersed, the small Chinese troops began to prepare to cross the river.
The Nanwu River is 160 meters wide, the water is strong in the rainy season, the water flow is rapid, and the center of the river is more than ten meters deep. If the Chinese army were allowed to cross the Nanwu River and enter Mengkua County, or even Phongsali, they would most likely be united with the Pathet Liao. Luo Qiong urgently summoned the Ubon base and quickly sent planes to block it.
The Chinese army had already begun to move, and when the three of them were driving improvised bamboo rafts, they were almost on the other side, and the planes finally arrived. Three ghosts, with dense aerial bombs, built a death barrier in the Nanwu River. The bamboo raft was blown over, three Chinese soldiers fell into the water, and the entire surface of the river was covered with rumbling explosions and flying columns of water......
However, after the plane flew away, the smoke on the river dissipated, and Luo Qiong was once again frustrated to find that two of the soldiers who had fallen into the water had escaped death, climbed onto the opposite bank, and established a beachhead. Luo Qiong held the sniper rifle and put it down after aiming a few times. He knew that with the tactical literacy of this small unit, as long as he was exposed, there was absolutely no possibility of escape.
At 8:10 p.m. that night, a small Chinese unit crossed the Nanwu River without hindrance using bamboo rafts. Luo Qiong reluctantly telegraphed to the headquarters of Longzhen, "The Chinese army has entered Mengkua County!" The meaning of his telegram was clear, the "Luo Qiong Plan" had been declared a complete failure.
But what made him cry and laugh was that the voice of country M broadcast a message the next day, "A Chinese army of more than 400 people was bombed and attacked by Lancang planes in Lancang Mengkua County, and none of them survived. ”
By this time, the Chinese company had already reached Phongsali. The task of the advance force to survey the road has been completed. In August 1968, China's 20,000-strong army vigorously crossed the Lancang primeval rainforest and began to enter the Lancang to build a jungle road.
Although the "Luo Qiong Plan" has failed, the intimidation of the people of country M has not played a role. But Luo Qiong's mission was not over, and the CIA's Longzhen headquarters ordered Luo Qiong's special forces to continue to monitor China's road construction army.
Therefore, during the construction of the highway by the Chinese army, Luo Qiong always hid in the central rainforest from Fengshali, Miaozhai, Natong, Mengsai, to Menghong and other places, and constantly informed the location of the Chinese army to the Ubon base of the Air Force of Country M. However, due to the fact that the important bridges and headquarters were guarded by anti-aircraft artillery units, the bombers of the M Army never found reliable targets.
On September 4, 1969, the CIA Wudong headquarters suddenly received an important message, "The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army entering the liao and the deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region will be Meng Hong." Intelligence also noted that the deputy commander usually rode a white horse. Soon, the CIA Forward Command in Longzhen devised a plan to order Luo Qiong's secret team to covertly attack Meng Hong and eliminate the Chinese general "on a white horse".
September 6 was a dark day for Luo Qiong.
Longzhen sent a CH-47 helicopter to take Luo Qiong's team from Natong to Meng Hong. When the special forces landed in Jambaling, a few kilometers away from the camp of the Chinese troops, they quickly fell into the encirclement of the Chinese troops.
The Jiaobaling Mountains are high and densely forested, but the Chinese troops are all jungle veterans, and in just over two hours, the hill where the special team is hiding was precisely locked by the Chinese army. After a burst of accurate small arms fire, almost all of the team was killed. Luo Qiong escaped alone and fled into the depths of the dense forest.
Luo Qiong, carrying his own radio and other equipment, has been hiding alone in the jungle, maneuvering with the searching Chinese army. He is a veteran who has repeatedly escaped death from under the noses of the Chinese army.
It rained heavily, and the search by the Chinese army stopped. At noon on July 7, Luo Qiong finally found the whereabouts of the "deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region". Guarded by a squad of armed soldiers, the general rode a big white horse and appeared in Shanggang Village, not far from Meng Hong. Luo Qiong quickly sent a telegram regardless of the situation.
"The target has been discovered, and the enemy chief has appeared in Shanggang!"
Soon, the M Army Air Force arrived as promised, and six planes suddenly appeared over the small village. A reconnaissance aircraft circled over the target and fired four flares. Five Phantom bombers flew over the sky and began to bomb fiercely. A small village with only a few dozen families turned into a sea of fire in an instant......
The bombing lasted a full hour, and as soon as the first group of planes flew away, the second group of six planes flew again...... It was only when it was believed that there were no more creatures that the bombardment stopped in the torrential rain. Luo Qiong inspected the battlefield in the torrential rain and smoke, and this small village in the depths of the jungle was now strewn with corpses and miserable. There were nearly 200 people in the village, men, women and children, and none of them were spared.
Among them, 13 were dressed in Batliao soldier costumes, but Luo Qiong knew that they were Chinese.
Because, when disaster came, they regarded death as home, and none of them fled. Although their limbs were mutilated, almost all of them maintained an air-shot stance. Even the white horse, its corpse showed no signs of escaping......
"Don't go to war on the ground with the Chinese Army, this is my advice to the United States of America!" This is the conclusion and conclusion of this dossier. Perhaps, after writing this sentence, Luo Qiong, this staunch anti-China and anti-communist element, will end his life of crime!
After reading it, everyone covered their books and pondered deeply, and everyone was deeply moved by the fearless sacrifice spirit of their predecessors.
After a long time, Lin Tao broke the silence and asked, "The headquarters of the CIA in Southeast Asia is in Wudong, Siam. Isn't the headquarters in Lancang in VientZhen and Longzhen? How did the archives end up here? Such an important thing, why didn't they destroy it before the retreat? Will there be fraud? ”
Xu Tianyi stroked his head and said, "I know your mood at this time, but the person riding on the white horse at that time was not my deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region, but a soldier who was sick. The Chinese army is invincible! We must pass on the martial spirit of our ancestors from generation to generation. Let us keep in mind that only when we can fight can we have peace! ”
Everyone nodded firmly. Yes, if a country or nation loses its bloody nature and the spirit of sacrifice to go forward and succeed, then it is not far from the country.
In response to Lin Tao's question, Xu Tianyi explained, "What you just said is right, for a total of 13 years from 1960 to 1973, Longzhen has always been Wang Bao's lair, and it is also the location of the CIA's secret headquarters in Lancang. But the core secret is that the real headquarters of the CIA's leadership of the 'secret war' is precisely under this mountain, which has been unknown. ”
In December 1961, the CIA helped Wang Bao build his nest in Longzhen and Sangtong. Long Town has an all-weather airport with well-equipped navigation equipment, and "every few seconds a plane takes off and lands to Thailand". For more than a decade, Longzhen served as Wang Bao's command center, and also became a major mountain trading center and a gathering point for the Miao people. Santhong became an administrative, medical and educational center.
The CIA sent Anthony Bosipuni as Wang Bao's senior military adviser, and Sullivan, the ambassador of country M to Lancang, was responsible for the overall command of the CIA's intelligence station in Vientiane and promoted the secret war in Lancang.
The C.I.A. has a three-officer command team based in Longzhen, and about 30 other agents of Nation M are responsible for training and fighting alongside Wang's "special forces." These CIA agents, all of whom are from the Green Berets of Country M, have rich war experience and personal combat skills.
These agents were formed into a number of clandestine groups, initially renamed the "White Star Mobile Training Group", whose main mission was to conduct special guerrilla warfare training for the Hmong forces. At the same time, country M asked its ally Siam to send hundreds of people to secretly enter Lancang territory to train Miao militants.
In addition to Longzhen, the CIA also has three large training bases in Lancang. In the whole of Lancang, the CIA had a peak of more than 400 people. The "White Star Mobile Training Team" also has a strong focus on specific combat missions, and each agent is equipped with radio operators who are fluent in English, Lancang, Hmong and Annam, and who coordinate and direct this "secret war" in various strategic locations.
