Chapter 6: My Revenge: Forty-two, The Golden Triangle in the Mouth of Longchuan

Long Chuan said,

"Speaking of the Golden Triangle, we can't talk about the 93rd Division." I say

"I know that the 93rd Division is the 93rd Division of the Eighth Army that originally belonged to the Kuomintang Yunnan region, and after their defeat in 1949, because they had no way to retreat, they had no choice but to enter the current Golden Triangle area and join forces with the remnants of the former Kuomintang Anti-Japanese Expeditionary Force stranded there. It is said that at that time, the unit escaped from Chinese mainland and entered Myanmar. The Burmese government did not want to accept them, and twice sent troops to encircle and suppress them in an attempt to drive them out of the country, but they suffered heavy defeats in succession. Since the Taiwan region was a member of the United Nations at that time, the Burmese Government appealed to the United Nations on the grounds that it had illegally stationed troops in the territory of another country and requested the United Nations to intervene. Taiwan could not deny the existence of this objective military force, so it sent people one after another to demand that they withdraw to Taiwan. However, due to various reasons, only a very small number of officers and men of the 93rd Division arrived in Taiwan after going through a lot of hardships. The vast majority of the people remained in the area, and in order to survive, they had to resist the armed encirclement of the local government. Later, most of the officers and soldiers of the 93rd Division were displaced to northern Thailand, where they flourished. After this army, which has gone through hardships and vicissitudes, entered Thailand's territory in the Golden Triangle, what made Thailand face up to this force was the failure of several times to send troops to encircle and suppress. Finally, the Thai government understood that they were not the opponents of the 93rd Division, and there were many drug trafficking forces in Thailand at that time, which were very troublesome to the Thai government, and they needed a strong helper to solve these problems for the Thai government, so the Thai government took the initiative to seek peace. The Thai government provided an area for the rest of the 93rd Division to settle, but the requirement was that the rest of the 93rd Division should not leave the area without permission. The condition is that the 93rd Division is required to act as a mercenary to assist the Thai government army in encircling and suppressing the drug trafficking forces in Thailand. In order to survive, the 93rd Division had to agree to this condition and go to war for the Thai government. However, due to excessive poverty in the original Golden Triangle area, it was impossible to grow food at all, and there was a shortage of local medical treatment, so the 93rd Division and the local people had no choice but to grow opium poppies for a living and take them as the main medicine. Over time, many of the descendants of the 93rd Division became addicts. Later, there was a famous figure there, Kun Sha. Kun Sha, Chinese name is Zhang Qifu. This Kunsha is very interesting, and he thinks that he is engaged in the Second Opium War. He wanted to resell the opium that the British had introduced to China and the Golden Triangle back to Europe and the United States, and use this special way to recover the humiliation and loss of a hundred years ago for his ancestors. So much so that he has become the number one drug dealer wanted in Europe and the United States in the world. After speaking, I looked at Long Chuan,

"That's all I know. I don't know more about it. Long Chuan sighed and said,

"I myself am a descendant of the 93rd Division, and no one will experience it better than me." I reached out and patted Long Chuan's shoulder,

"If there is any bitter water, pour it out!" Long Chuan fixed his mind and said,

"Many years have passed, and the number of the 93rd Division of the Kuomintang has become just a specific historical symbol, which has gradually faded into oblivion with the passage of time. However, after the 93rd Division was defeated and retreated to the Golden Triangle, it was with strong political overtones. In that year, the 93rd Division, as the remnants of the Kuomintang, was instructed by Chiang Kai-shek to wait for the so-called because it could not retreat to the island of Taiwan

The time to "recover the mainland" has made a comeback. Because of this background, the Burmese government at the time did not want to accept them and tried to carry out armed expulsions, and the war began.

Although the officers and men of the 93rd Division were repeatedly defeated and defeated in the civil war, they had extremely rich experience in actual combat after eight years of war of resistance against Japanese aggression and many years of experience in civil war, so they only tried their hand at dealing with the Burmese government army.

Although the officers and men of the 93rd Division faced the Burmese government army, which was several times their size, they easily defeated the Burmese army and gained a firm foothold in the Golden Triangle.

Later, the Taiwan side saw that the 93rd Division had gained a foothold in the Golden Triangle and defeated many times the Burmese government army, believing that it was the army that had won the victory on the Chinese border, and that the Golden Triangle had become the basis for a counteroffensive on the mainland.

But the officers and men of the 93rd Division no longer wanted to fight, and the long-term campaign made them just want to return to the motherland as soon as possible.

However, the Taiwan side resolutely refused to agree. After a year's rest, the Taiwanese side asked the 93rd Division to start a counterattack on the mainland.

At the beginning, the 93 Terror offensive was rapid, taking the PLA by surprise and capturing several small border towns.

Later, the PLA mobilized three divisions to carry out a counteroffensive, and soon sent the 93rd Division back to Burma.

At this time, the Burmese government army reached an agreement with India to send troops to assist the Burmese army in driving out the 93rd Division.

It was a fierce battle, and the 93rd Division defeated tens of thousands of Indian-Burmese allied troops with the remnants of thousands of troops, and completely gained a foothold on the Sino-Burmese border.

In desperation, the Burmese Government had no choice but to ask the United Nations for help on the grounds of illegally stationing troops in the territory of another country, and asked the United Nations to order the Taiwan authorities to withdraw this force.

Later, the Burmese government asked China to send troops to destroy the 93rd Division. At that time, China and Myanmar had already begun to demarcate their borders.

Therefore, the Burmese government asked the United Nations to order Taiwan to withdraw its troops on the one hand, and sent a telegram to Beijing asking the Chinese People's Liberation Army to send troops to help the war.

Beijing agreed to send troops abroad to assist the Myanmar Defence Forces. But this time the dispatch did not go very well. Since the 93rd Division has been operating in the Yunnan-Burma border area for many years, it is familiar with the terrain and terrain; The People's Liberation Army (PLA) went abroad to fight, and the local climate and geography were not clear, plus there were problems with supplies.

Therefore, this encirclement and suppression of the People's Liberation Army turned into a pursuit war. The 93rd Division also realized this and adopted the tactic of not fighting the PLA head-on, avoiding the PLA.

In order not to stretch the front too long, the PLA had to retreat. But as soon as the PLA withdrew, the 93rd Division returned.

Therefore, in response to this characteristic, the Burmese government has granted the PLA anti-bandit unit a privilege to allow the PLA to enter Myanmar 20 kilometers during the pursuit mission.

Later, after a United Nations resolution and the joint attack of the Sino-Burmese coalition forces, the Taiwan side withdrew the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to Taiwan, but it still left several thousand soldiers as the main basis for the future counterattack on the mainland.

But at this time, the 93rd Division did not mention any counteroffensive on the mainland, they just wanted to return to the motherland. Due to the situation at the time, as well as political issues, Beijing did not accede to their request.

In this way, there was an army without a motherland in the Golden Triangle. Later, in order to survive, they began to grow opium and traffic heroin.

A few years later, the international situation changed, and China began to export communism to its neighbors, and communist revolutionary movements broke out in Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.

The Burmese Republican government forces have also started a series of wars. In the border areas of Yunnan, Thailand, and Burma, dozens of armed forces, large and small, have been formed, and the Burmese government has completely run out of options.

At this time, the officers and men of the 93rd Division had to fight the Burmese Communist Party again in order to obtain the residence recognition of the Burmese government. ”
