Chapter 21: Song Cheng is killed
Song Cheng accepted Jianyì, but he was still a little skeptical. After all, he feels more deeply about the internal situation of the Republic of Cambodia, and he also has unknown inner suffering. After Song Cheng left, Yang Mingtao sighed and said, "The rebellion of the people and Cambodia has made the vice chairman of the people and the commander-in-chief of the national army like a frightened bird......
Having said that, Song Cheng's observation and reflection in the Songge Mountain area still had a far-reaching impact on the armed struggle between the people and Cambodia in the stage of strategic stalemate. As early as August last year, the people of Cambodia launched a guerrilla war in the Tonle Sap area of the lower Mekong River, next to the capital Phnom Penh. After Song Cheng returned this time, he tried his best to overcome public opinion and achieve a major strategic shift in the resistance forces of the people and Cambodia. From then on, the Kuomintang and Cambodian Nationalist Army left the Mai Lai Mountains and went deep into the interior to carry out guerrilla warfare, which brought earth-shaking changes to the shape of the Khmer anti-aggression war.
An attack and an ambush by the Khmer Company in the Songgo Mountains had such a huge impact, which Yang Mingtao did not expect. He had the best impression of Song Cheng as a military leader with a certain military standard. What he didn't expect was that such an excellent leader would die at the hands of his own people ten years later.
On June 10, 1997, Defense Minister Song Cheng was secretly arrested by Pol Pot on charges of "conspiring to defect to the enemy" at the Longyi Base in Cambodia. In the early hours of the same day, Pol Pot ordered the execution of Song Cheng, his wife, eight children, and three family members on charges of traitor.
The killing of the beloved commander-in-chief provoked a fierce resistance from the Cambodian officers and soldiers of the An Long Yi base. In a panic, Pol Pot led more than 200 armed soldiers to kidnap Khieu Samphan, the nominal leader of the People's Republic of Cambodia, and fled from An Long Yi and entered the Puyawiha ancient temple area in the jungle on the Cambodian-Thai border. But he soon fell into a heavy siege, and the Khmer Rouge officers and soldiers, who could not bear it anymore, aimed their guns at their "brother No. 1" for the first time.
After Pol Pot was arrested, Kyosamphan was released. In order to change the image of the Khmer Rouge and find a way out for the officers and soldiers, Pol Pot, as the soul and symbol of the Khmer Rouge, was sentenced to life imprisonment after a public trial. Since then, the morale of the people has been weakened, and they have gradually gone to extinction......
Of course, that's all for later. More than ten years later, Yang Mingtao, who was in the Pug camp, could not have imagined it.
After Song Cheng left, there were continuous thunderstorms in the Songge Mountains for half a month. Most of the people in the third battalion of the 710 Special Service Brigade disappeared mysteriously, so that the people of Annam were really scared. Li Bing hurriedly returned to his lair from Minglat, and before leaving, he ordered the 719th Regiment to "stick to Minglat, don't attack without permission!" According to the information sent back by the monkeys from the city of Kemalapmin, the 319B Division strictly ordered all divisions to "shrink their defenses, defend tightly, and not fight without authorization."
The fighters are getting closer and closer to maturity, and Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan are already actively planning to attack the city of Kemalapmin. The two sand tables, one large and one small, have been turned into Kemalapmin, the capital of Koh Kong Province, and the three important targets of the provincial government, the prison, and the headquarters of the 319B Division have all been planted with blue flags and made obvious signs.
The small sand table is the royal villa area where the 319B Division is located. The villa is located on the west side of the city, by the sea, on a high ground surrounded by mangroves. The landscape is extremely peculiar, with the highlands surrounded by swampy land and dense mangrove forests. There are three small hills in the mangrove forest, which are also three small highlands. The 319th Regiment of the 720B Division is the finished glyph, distributed on three small plateaus in the jungle around the royal villa.
A gravel road built in a marshland leads to the camp of the 2nd Battalion of the 720th Regiment and leads to the main entrance of the Royal Villa. An anti-aircraft artillery battalion, living with the 2nd Battalion, guarded the division headquarters. The first and third camps behind the villa are connected to the villa by two dirt roads in guò. In the event of heavy rain, the 1st and 3rd Battalions will not be able to pass through the Guò swamp to support the division headquarters.
Liu Guodong and Zhuang Yushu made three physical models of the provincial government, the prison, and the headquarters of the 319th Division according to the drawings sent back by the monkeys, while Lin Tao and Zhang Wuchang led the team and the three platoon commanders of the Khmer Lian Bai Li, Sanya Kan, and carried out countless exercises on the map.
At the critical juncture when the atmosphere was very tense before the war, two telegrams disturbed the busy atmosphere of the headquarters.
One was a telegram from the 186 headquarters, and the message was very long, "Congratulations on the victory, the two wars have supported the enemy's will, the strategic stalemate has been broken, and the goal of 'pushing the boat down the river' has been basically achieved." In addition, Li was appointed chief of staff of our department, and my captured personnel have already died, so it is up to you to decide whether to attack the city of Ke according to the original plan! ”
The other was a telegram from Thomas and Yu Haijing, with only a few short words, "The base has been opened!" ”
The sudden change in the situation, including Yang Mingtao, was unexpected by everyone. Everyone turned their eyes to Yang Mingtao, but Yang Mingtao stared closely at Li Haichao, who was always staring down at the sand table.
My highly decorated intelligence officer has been martyred, and there is no need to carry out the rescue plan for the attack on the prison. The two attacks in the Songgo Mountains have broken the strategic stalemate, and the battlefield will gradually shift in our favor. In this case, the headquarters is hesitating, and the hearts of everyone in the squad are also hesitating, is it necessary to go deep into the enemy's depth to attack the lair of the 319B Division?
Li Haichao, the deputy captain of Unit 186's Sharp Knife Brigade and the deputy chief of staff of Unit 186, was appointed chief of staff of Unit 186 at a critical juncture. Yang Mingtao is at the helm of the secret war in the Indochina Peninsula, and he is concerned about the overall situation. The specific military command task fell on Li Haichao's shoulders......
Li Haichao pondered for a long time, and after careful consideration, he slowly raised his head and said to Yang Mingtao firmly, "Team leader, 319B is the strategic reserve of the 200,000 occupation army, and it must be dealt another fatal blow, so that they know that there is no depth to speak of, and they have reached the point of exhaustion. Only then will they be compelled to begin to consider the future of military occupation...... The stakes are heavy, and Jian yì continues to complete the attack plan and let it be the last straw! ”
Yang Mingtao nodded slowly, gritted his teeth and said, "The arrow is already on the string, for the sake of the motherland, send another ride!" ”
The team members sat on the side with Lingyu and listened quietly to their discussion. Yang Mingtao is at the helm, and his words are the final decision. Seeing that the major policy had been decided, Yu Songyuan and other talents congratulated Li Haichao on his promotion. Lingyu ordered the little button and Niu Rao sisters to quickly open the French wine and wait......
Xiao Xiangyue seemed to have a premonition that Uncle Liu was about to be separated from her, and she had been lying in Liu Guodong's arms for the past few days. Huang Jinxiu is also a little inseparable from Liu Guodong, Xiao Xiangyue has begun to change her words, calling Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin uncles.
"Why the attack on Kemalapmin? It's just a small town. "The mission has been made public, and the Khmer company has begun targeted training. During the break, Sanyakan pointed to the map and asked, "With our current combat strength, starting from Pag, we can completely attack strategic bases such as Minh Ratchasima, Yao Lak, and even Sihanoukville City and Kampong Speu, isn't the impact greater?" ”
Bai Li said, "You are really clever. Division 319B is the strategic reserve of the Second Army, and its division headquarters lives in the Royal Villa Barracks. Kemalapmin has not been struck again, except for one attack by us in April last year. Located in a hilly and swampy area with easy sea exits, it was by far the most solid strategic rear of the Annam invaders. The Annanites are already about to be unable to hold on, if the 319B Division is dealt a fatal blow again, how can they continue to fight this battle......"
Actually, what he said was not professional and not convincing. Because, the real reason, Bai Li himself can't say clearly.
That night, after the team had dinner, Niu Rao had just finished cleaning up the table, and left angrily with a little face. After Xiao Niuzi cleaned up the kitchen, he walked around Yu Songyuan and Li Haichao with a heavy heart, looking like he wanted to talk. Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan lay on the sand table and whispered, ignoring her flawlessly.
Liu Guodong was playing with Xiao Xiangyue, and the two had a lot of fun. Lin Tao scratched the little nose of the little button, and asked puzzledly, "Little one, what the hell are you doing, you are preoccupied?" If you want to be white, go to him, he's your little son-in-law! ”
The little button is lively and active, and she likes to laugh, Lingyu once said that she fell asleep at night, and she was also smiling. Today is particularly abnormal, but when he heard this, he sighed and said, "What am I looking for him, but he can't run away." Besides, it's useless to look for him. ”
Hearing what she said, Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan both turned around and looked at her.
Little Button blushed, and said as if she had made up her mind, "Senza, my sister went to fight, and she won't let me say it." But I'm afraid that she will suffer, and the monkey is not there......" The team members are all called Li Haichao, and Xiao Niuzi has also learned.
"Niu Rao fighting? Who can she fight with besides bullying you? Li Haichao made her stunned.
"...... with Big Bear," said the little button, plucking up his courage.
Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan glanced at each other, what kind of fight were Niu Rao and Ivanov? When the question was understood, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh. "What's so funny about such a shameful thing!" Xiao Niuzi was very unhappy and said angrily. The more she didn't make people laugh, the more everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Only Liu Weimin didn't laugh, he was just about to move, Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan glared at him in unison, and he blushed and didn't dare to move.
Li Haichao gave Xiao Niu'er a burst, "This is also going to cry nose, I thought it was a big deal." It's not easy for us big men to meddle in this matter, let's find you Sister Lingyu and Sister Jinxiu. Don't worry, they'll be back in a while, and they'll be in charge! ”
It turned out that Ivanov and Loya got together again, no wonder the sisters went crazy.
Ivanov was a weirdo, with a good drink. A few years ago, his home in Belgium was attacked, and both his wife and children were poisoned. After joining the team, Thomas helped him find out the direct culprit, which turned out to be a British agent. Designed by Thomas, the team chased him to the small city of Bruges and helped him avenge him, and the two murderers were thrown into the North Sea.
From then on, Ivanov was silent, but extremely loyal to Thomas, who was called an ascetic. On the island of Lantia, he turns a blind eye to women and his only hobby is to drink alcohol.
