"Brother No. 1" and Nong Chea finally had to give up their unrealistic illusions, and the two sides finally verbally agreed that the CPC would absolutely guarantee the safety of the Songo Shan Pag camp. The CPC has no right to interfere in all combat operations of the fraternal squad. Song Cheng took the initiative to say that the more than 3,000 troops stationed in Songge Mountain will select 100 people to form a volunteer company to cooperate with the action of the brothers' squad.

"We have reason to believe that you are the elite of the great Chinese army! For the sake of our common cause, the great cause of international communism, hope...... You will bring out a company of elite soldiers for us. Let them become...... Become an impregnable sword against the invaders......"

Before leaving, Pol Pot weakly held Li Haichao's hand and admonished him repeatedly.

A few days after the departure of several bigwigs, Yang Mingtao also rushed to Siam to report in detail on the situation in the Khmer from the "Second Office" of the Chinese Embassy in Siam. Lingyu commanded the Landia Island Guard, and with the cooperation of the Siam Army, a large amount of equipment, ammunition, and supplies were transported from the Siam base in Chanthaburi.

More than a month later, Yang Mingtao returned from Siam with his entourage, and the Pag camp had been renovated and became a real military camp.

Li Haichao, Yu Songyuan and others selected 121 soldiers from the 517 outstanding soldiers selected by the people and Cambodia to form a Khmer company. What surprised Yang Mingtao the most was that Bai Li, the company commander of the Khmer Company, turned out to be a 17-year-old Khmer boy who was easily shy. The platoon commanders, squad leaders, etc., are all veterans of a hundred battles.

The Khmer company was divided into four groups: reconnaissance group, assault group, demolition group, support group, and logistics group, and Lin Tao and others were training in the jungle with them. After listening to Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan's introductions, Yang Mingtao showed an incredulous gaze. Seeing this, Li Haichao, Yu Songyuan, and Lingyu all laughed in unison.

"At first, I'm just as curious as you are......" Lingyu said.

It turned out that Lin Tao, Liu Guodong, Zhuang Yushu and others had built a complete 400-meter obstacle course in the mountain stream basin outside the camp. These 121 soldiers were selected through strict selection. Bai Li and Sanya Kan have experienced a hundred battles and have made outstanding achievements. Whether it is physical quality, personal skills and tactics, or comprehensive tactical literacy, they are all well-deserved leaders of this Khmer company.

"This Bai Li also served as Song Cheng's guard captain and the spy company commander of the Meilai Mountain Central Base Area. Not only is his personal condition excellent, but his tactical level is also quite high, so he is a natural candidate for company commander. ”

After Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan finished their introductions, Lingyu added with a smile, "The indigenous saying of Songge Mountain says, 'When a sheep leads a group of wolves, it becomes a flock of sheep.'" When a wolf leads a flock of sheep, it becomes a pack of wolves. 'You wait, there are Annan people who look good!' ”

Madame was full of praise, although Yang Mingtao no longer doubted it. But his strong curiosity made him eager to meet the company commander of the Khmer Company.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the teams returned to camp from the jungle after training. The team entered the camp in an orderly and energetic manner in the dark rain, and the platoon commander who led the team reported to Lin Tao. Lin Tao stood in front of the team in a raincoat and began to comment like a dog. The rain was pouring down, and after a long speech, the platoons brought the line back to start dinner.

Lin Tao and the others entered the big wooden house of the headquarters to meet Yang Mingtao, and Niu Rao brought out the food for them to dinner. "Team leader, what good things have you brought for my sister?" Lin Zhumin chewed heavily, and began to become poor.

Lin Tao hurriedly followed, "The instructor organized a team to study collectively and made an important decision, in the future, you will come back without gifts, and Sister Lingyu will continue to live with us, and you will not be allowed to return to Yutao Palace to accompany you......"

Yutao Palace is a three-story wooden house built by Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan for Yang Mingtao, and it is Lingyu's boudoir. But when Yang Mingtao went out, Lingyu always took the handmaid Xiao Niu'er to live in the central wooden house, and lived in her special room with Niu Rao, Xiao Niu'er, and Huang Jinxiu's mother and daughter.

Like Loya, she also likes to laugh, a happy little girl. She likes to tease little Xiangyue when she has nothing to do, making the big cabin of the headquarters ripple with giggles from time to time.

Yang Mingtao ignored their playfulness, he stood on the second floor of the big wooden house and looked at the Khmer company in the camp. Seeing the three of them in a row, two of them in a group, in and out, all wearing raincoats and well-trained, I couldn't help but be very satisfied. Lingyu quietly gave Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin a burst of chestnuts to prevent them from being poor again.

The Cambodian guerrillas generally wore black homespun cloth clothes, or the Chinese Army's Zhenliang military uniform. Most of them are barefoot or wear straw sandals. Only officers and a few soldiers will have the rubber shoes of the Chinese army to wear. However, the Khmer Company wore all the green cotton combat uniforms of the Annam Army and the jungle combat boots of the M Army. This is also the standard equipment of the Annam Army Special Service Unit. After the M Army withdrew from Annam, it left behind $6 billion worth of equipment and arms in the southern part of Annam, arming the Annam army.

The dress and equipment of the Khmer Company made the Khmer soldiers around the camp red-eyed. One by one, the soldiers held their heads high, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their morale was high.

The cooperative in Loya is running very well, and the villagers of Pag village are barely fed. The indigenous people of Songge Mountain can sing and dance, their stomachs are not hungry, and there are more "local love" of singing and wind and snow. The mountain dwellers of the surrounding villages were starving to death. However, due to the close protection of the Cambodian forces, the hill people and refugees rarely had the opportunity to approach the Pag camp, although they were jealous.

I wanted to wait for the company to summon Bai Li and Sanya Kan after dinner, but after a while, a gunshot rang out outside the camp, and chickens and dogs also barked in the camp, and they became noisy.

Yang Mingtao was shocked, and Niu Rao was even more panicked. But Li Haichao, Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao and others were not surprised, and they didn't mean to move at all. Yang Mingtao had no choice but to go back indoors and sit down, watching them eat dinner like a storm. Xiao Xiangyue is no longer like a frightened bird, she sits quietly in Xiao Niu'er's arms, smiling and watching everyone eat.

After Liu Guodong finished eating, she rubbed into Liu Guodong's arms.

Sure enough, after a while, Ivanov came to report with a dark face, "Team leader, captain, madam, this bastard monkey has come to stir up the camp again, and he has to join the Khmer company." Just now, he actually fired a shot in the sky outside the camp, and the guards have already caught him, how to deal with it? If he gets out again, he will definitely come back to toss! ”

Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan were lying on the sand table, without raising their heads. Lin Tao threw the big bowl, wiped his mouth, snatched Xiao Xiangyue from Liu Guodong's arms first, and kissed the little face, and then said to Niu Rao, "Little girl, do you have an attitude?" Your mother Loya should also have an attitude? If you object, send him back to the Ekan base and have him executed!" ”

Firing guns at the camp without authorization to cause chaos is not a small crime. Although the monkey is a reconnaissance hero and a combat hero, the Minkhan guerrillas will definitely not be able to keep him.

Niu Rao raised her head at Lin Tao when she heard this, but she began to intercede, "You better accept him." My mother and I were in the mood that the Khmer didn't even want him, and we didn't want him. ”

"You're lovers, you've been ...... for so many years"

"Cut!" Niu Rao deliberately snorted, "Do you think I can't marry without him, if he can't even enter the Khmer, I'll marry Bai Li!" If he can enter the Khmer Company, I will let Xiao Niu'er marry Bai Li...... in the future."

Everyone found it interesting, and Lin Zhumin on the side deliberately asked, "Bai Li is only seventeen years old, he is a general under Commander-in-Chief Song, and all Khmer girls are arbitrarily picked, you have the final say on who to marry?!" ”

"I don't believe you asked my mother, Bai Li knew that I was a monkey, so I was uncomfortable for a while. He also kowtowed to my mother, and if he can't marry me, I'll marry Xiao Niu'er......" Niu Rao said proudly. Xiao Niu'er was pounding rice on the side, so she quickly nodded and endorsed her sister.

Ivanov was just about to go out, but Yu Song didn't raise his head in the distance, so he said, "Slow!" Since it is a rival in love, let it be handled by Bai Li. This is an internal matter of their people, let's not get involved! ”

After Ivanov went downstairs, Lingyu explained the reason to Yang Mingtao.

After the establishment of the Khmer Company, the Pag camp was militarized, and the "wild men" on the mountain were no longer allowed to enter the village to have trysts with the women, but it was not forbidden for the soldiers of the Khmer Company to "fall in love" with the women in the village. The armed forces of the people of Cambodia and Song Cheng have set up cordons on several hills outside the Pag camp to protect them tightly. But this monkey returned from reconnaissance behind enemy lines, missed the opportunity to enter the Khmer company, and began to make a fuss. He always had a way to break through the cordon and enter the camp, and he was kicked out several times, but today he simply went outside the camp to fire a warning shot.

Bai Li's treatment was very straightforward, he first beat the monkey hard, and then locked him up.

The next day was the blasting primitive class, Liu Guodong attended the class, Zhuang Yushu demonstrated, and Yang Mingtao summoned the two leaders of the Khmer Company.

Bai Li was wearing the combat uniform of the Annan Special Forces, his face was childish, but his eyes were bright and majestic. And Sanya Kan is crooked, at first glance, he is a veteran oil, forty or fifty years old, with a shaved beard. He was not a soldier but a profiteer, with small eyes rolling as if there were countless ideas rolling in them.

The two reported their past achievements, and it turned out that they had both worked in Song Cheng's guards and were Song Cheng's right-hand men. Both are Siamese and of Chinese descent, and at the end of 1978, after Annam invaded the Khmer, they entered the mountains of Melai together and joined Song Cheng's troops. Yang Mingtao understood, Song Chengzhen was willing, he took out the best steel to quench.

"What are you going to do with the monkeys?"

"Report Team Leader, we would like to ask your permission for us to subdue him!" "He is a good scout, and he will be useful in our victory over the Annam invaders." ”

"Why? Is it just because he's a Niu Rao man? ”

"Report to the team leader, I have sent someone to find out. The monkey has concealed his identity for a long time, and he is actually a Siamese military sticker, whose real name is Man Xincao. He understands medicine, and it turns out that the insect garden in Siam was opened by his family. ”

"What do you say? The Man family? Yang Mingtao was shocked when he heard this, jumped up directly from the bamboo chair, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and fell to pieces with a "click". He didn't care about anything else, and asked urgently with surprise, "Is there anyone still alive in the Man family?" Who is Mr. Man? ”
