Fall in love with a beautiful boss

Often without a sound or even knowing where the enemy came from, the Han people fell to the ground and died. The revolutionary army had to abandon its position and retreat to the East Bank of the river.

The Kachin troops were victorious, and the forward approached the eagle mouth ferry with dangerous terrain.

Compared with the west front battlefield, which is in fierce battle and repeatedly sawing, the northwest front battlefield is relatively calm.

The battlefield commander was a young man. He commanded calmly and waited for work with ease. Lao Qin gave him the task of sniping Kachin soldiers and forbidding them to cross the river to threaten the flanks of the western line. He put his team on the Bank of the river, tens of kilometers along the river, blocked all ferries, large and small, all ferry rafts and ferries were scuttled, and confronted the Kachin soldiers across the river by relying on the deep and fast flowing river.

This is a strange war, or no war on the northwest line. During the day and night, gunshots rang sporadically, as if to remind people that there was a war here, but the war was cut off by the river, so there was no fierce face-to-face fighting and confrontation for the time being.

Li Shun and I now know that the Kachin soldiers are good at fighting in the jungle. The forest is their home. The only obstacle in front of them is the river. Once they are allowed to cross the river, it is like releasing leopards from their cages and poisonous bees from their hives. Those airtight tropical rain forests and soft vines that open like a big net have become hiding places for Kachin soldiers.

The upper reaches of this river is the Nu River in Yunnan. The Nu River rolls down from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, gathers hundreds of rivers and splits the valleys. Because the golden triangle is a plateau terrain, the Salween river is surrounded by canyons, hidden reefs and thunderous waves. People and animals need to cross the river at several ferries with gentle water flow, carried by large rafts and towed by steel cables, which can only be crossed slowly during the day.

The Kachin soldiers mobilized migrant workers to cut down Dalong bamboo and make many large bamboo rafts. At night, they lit many fires along the river and camped.

Obviously, there will also be a big war here.

On the eve of the war with the Kachin people, Li Shun and I went out of the headquarters to observe the enemy situation.

We raised our binoculars and saw those mountain soldiers from northern tribes on the other side of the river eating and drinking around the fire. Many people played harmonica, beat elephant foot drum and danced national knife dance, as if celebrating the annual "monao vertical song" festival.

Li shunchong smiled at me and seemed to feel very happy. He then issued an order to the mortar gunner. The light sound of mortar rotation soon came from the trees.

At night, the fire is the most obvious shelling target. Kachin people are all good hunters, but they may not be good soldiers because they have never received military training.

I raised my telescope and continued to look across the river.

A few minutes later, a test fired shell with a sharp whistle fell from the sky, deviated from the target and fell behind the mountain. The violent explosion surprised all the mountain soldiers. They straightened their necks and seemed at a loss. They didn't seem to know why there was thunder in the sky.

The subsequent shells timely corrected shanbing's understanding of modern war. The shells accurately landed on the fire, huge fireballs rose and the woods burned.

***

Mortar Gunners were like schoolchildren who were afraid of failing the exam. They showed off their shooting skills in front of the officers. Therefore, the night sky was red by the fire, the shells screamed and tore the air, the God of death chased the unfortunate Kachin people from the air, and the huge roar of shell explosion rolled over the river.

To be sure, this night was definitely the beginning of a disaster for the Kachin warriors who were on an expedition to the golden triangle. Tribal peoples who were good at using bows and arrows, long knives and gunpowder guns were shrouded in the shadow of modern war for the first time, just like the fairy tale handed down by their ancestors: before the warriors saw the devil, they were inexplicably blown up by lightning falling from the sky.

After a sleepless night, the Kachin soldiers began to board the bamboo raft and attack the east bank with the anger of revenge and destroying the enemy.

It was a fine day. The air was as clear and transparent as a filter, leaving last night's nightmare in the dark. The sun appeared brightly from the top of the mountain, and the first jump of the sun was suddenly projected down, so the uneven trees on both sides of the Strait and the swirling muddy river burned at once.

People on the battlefield could see clearly that those Kachin people who were crawling like ants left the Bank of the river. The bamboo raft was very large and strong. People squatted on the bamboo raft and pulled tightly to each other, like some shaky goods. The boatman stood to pole. Due to the rapidity of the river, the bamboo raft first supported a section upstream along the river bank, and then staggered to the opposite bank against the current.

I asked Li Shun, "how many more shots will you blow up the bamboo raft?"

Li Shun shook his head and said, "you can't kill a chicken with an ox knife. It's such a fine day. What do I think of a game? Commander, give me orders. Each company and platoon of shooters work in groups of three. They specialize in punting and steering. A prize of 10000 yuan will be awarded for hitting a target, and those with empty guns will be punished. I'll be the referee. "

When the order was passed on, the shooters used their skills. With the sound of gunfire, rifle bullets flew to the target with a long whistle. For a moment, those boatman boatmans who stretched their bodies seemed to be broken strings and were shot into the water one after another. The bamboo raft was driven by no one, spinning on the river like a runaway plane, or overturned by the river, or rushed downstream.

The poor Kachin people are originally mountain people. They are all dry ducks. They are arrogant in the mountains and woods, but they know nothing about water. The river water in the high mountains and valleys comes from snow capped mountains and is water-cooled to the bone. Even people who are familiar with water are difficult to swim, not to mention the Kachin people who are like weights? The tumbling River swallowed up the bamboo raft in an instant and wiped away the crowd on the bamboo raft.

After a while, the river was still, and the bamboo raft and warrior disappeared.

There was a stalemate here for a moment, and the Kachin army was blocked by the river. Although the enemy leader urged him to move forward, the natural graben is a natural graben, unless you have wings and can fly. On several occasions, the Kachin soldiers tried to find another place for smuggling, but Li Shun and I had already considered this. We played chess first and sent troops to be closely guarded.

The Kachin leader had no choice but to order him to set up a camp and hide out of the range of artillery fire to confront the revolutionary army across the river.

The war situation on the northwest line has stabilized. Li Shun and I have returned to the west line. This is the main battlefield of the decisive battle.

The war situation here is in a stalemate. Although the enemy's heavy artillery positions have been taken away, there are light mortars and heavy machine gun positions on the Highlands across the river, which have caused heavy casualties to the revolutionary army. The captain of the special combat unit was also wounded in the leg by shell skin.

According to intelligence reports, mercenaries are the main force of the attack. The Burmese army is responsible for support and cover. The heavy machine gun and light mortar positions on the opposite highland are in the charge of the Burmese army, and the backup headquarters of the Burmese army is located at the foot of the mountain on the back of the highland.

Another night fell. Lao Qin and Li Shun discussed countermeasures together, and finally decided to send a special combat unit to cross the river again, occupy the highland, completely kill the enemy's light mortar and heavy machine gun positions, and deal a heavy blow to the backup headquarters of the Burmese army.
