"The main purpose of the rat hunt is to capture these drugs?" I said.
"Yes This is also the main reason why I want you to pay close attention to the movement of the man over there in Xinghai! " Li Shun said.
So far, Li Shun seems to have been reluctant to mention wood's name. It seems that in his heart, although he is determined to fight wood, there are still some unspeakable shadows, psychological obstacles and complex emotions.
"It's about 100 kilometers from the area under the jurisdiction of the Kokang self defense force to the border area. For the safety of this batch of goods, the Kokang self defense force will send a large number of armed forces to escort Their strength is no less than ours, and they are equipped with a certain number of heavy weapons, so we can't take them lightly There must be a complete and careful plan to ensure that everything is safe. " Lao Qin said.
"Yes, this operation can only succeed, not fail. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable." Li Shun said: "so, I've specially called you to work together for a big event Of course, it's a good chance. You're suspended. "
"So this operation must be carried out?" I said.
Li Shun said: "I don't want you to come here to discuss whether to do it or not, but to discuss how to do it and how to ensure 100% success This is a good opportunity for our survival and development. If we lose it, we will never have it again Our current living environment is not optimistic. The Kokang self defense forces have been eyeing us. If we do not seize this opportunity to defeat them, we will be more passive and difficult in the next step. "
I was silent and meditated
Once Li Shun's action is successful, it will greatly frustrate the vitality of the Kokang self defense force and wood, which is of great significance for attacking wood's strength and stabilizing the hegemony of Li Shun's Revolutionary Army in the golden triangle. At the same time, when Li Shun sells these drugs to Japan, he can also make a lot of foreign money, which is not a small amount, and will greatly increase Li Shun's expansion in the golden triangle And the strength of development.
With the decrease and increase, Li Shun has achieved more.
If we are determined to carry out this operation, we can only succeed but not fail. If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Shun will be severely retaliated by the Guogan self defense force in the golden triangle. At the same time, wood will also rely on his rich financial resources to join the ranks of the revolutionary army in some form. Even then, not only Li Shun will be finished, but I will die without a place to bury myself.
I feel that I have been forced to the cliff of the decisive battle of life and death. In front of me is a sea of fire, and behind me is an abyss. If I can't get out of the abyss, I will be buried in the abyss.
Li Shun kidnapped me to his flaming chariot again. I have no way back.
"This operation is extremely confidential. So far, only you, me and Lao Qin know about it. No one else knows about it!" Li Shun said seriously.
"I wrote the draft of action myself, only this one!" Lao Qin said.
I nodded.
"Now, we're going to talk about the rat hunt draft." Li Shun said.
We gather in front of the sand table
Lao Qin opened the text of the plan, compared the sand table with the military map on the wall, and began to explain his preliminary plan to Li Shun and me.
"According to our preliminary understanding, the cargo escort of Kokang self defense forces will start from their base camp about two days later, and the destination is a small village called Qili on the Mekong River on the border between China and Myanmar, where they will unload the cargo and transfer it. The mode of transportation will be both land and water. First, they will transport the cargo to the Mekong River with mules and horses, and then they will load the cargo onto the ship and go upstream After arriving at Qili, the ship is unloaded, and then the caravan is used to cross the virgin forest to reach the border line There must be a horse Gang waiting to pick up the goods on the mainland side Pick up the goods and load them into the fruit truck. " Lao Qin said slowly.
"How many horses and mules does it take to transport these goods by land? How many ships are needed by land and water? " Li Shun asked Lao Qin.
Lao Qin replied: "they will send about 30 mules and horses to carry this ton of ice. As for the waterway, only one ship is enough, but their escorts should also be considered. This time, they will send out an armed force of 100 people to escort goods. In addition to carrying light weapons, these 100 people are likely to carry heavy weapons. Considering this, they will send at least 60 mules and horses to transport goods by waterway At least three ships. "
Sure enough, he was very careful in his analysis.
Li Shun and I nodded and looked at the sand table
The first element of winning a war is to know oneself and know the enemy, that is, intelligence. Lao Qin has always attached great importance to intelligence work. He has secretly developed several informants in the Kokang self defense force, and now they play an important role.
"How exactly will they go? How can I get there by water? How can I get there by land? " Li Shun said.
Lao Qin pointed to the sand table and said, "you see, from the headquarters of the Kokang self defense forces to the Sino Myanmar border line, which is the place where they want to deliver goods, the journey is about 100 kilometers, almost running through half of the dangerous Golden Triangle from north to south. There is only one waterway, that is, the Mekong River. However, before they reach the waterway, they have three routes to choose from, one It's an open road. There are many cities and towns, many checkpoints and government troops guarding this road. ""They can never take this road, or they will commit suicide!" Li Shun said.
"Yes They will never choose this road. " Lao Qin nodded and said, "there are still two paths. They are the smuggling path in the east bank valley of the Mekong River and the forest path in the West Bank valley of the Mekong River."
Li Shun looked at the sand table and nodded: "well, Lao Qin, which way do you think they will take?"
"If they choose to take the east route, we will have to give up this operation and watch the prey pass by from the other side of the river," said Qin
"Why?" Li Shun's eyes were bloodshot and looked at Lao Qin.
Lao Qin said calmly: "because that road is not only to the east of the fast flowing Mekong River, but also harbors two powerful local armed forces, one is banbang United Army in Banshan, the other is nongliang National Revolutionary Army in the north of Kokang If we set up an ambush on their territory, it will intensify the conflict with them. Even if we put in all our armed forces, we will not be able to win the whole victory
"What's more, at present, we maintain a relatively harmonious relationship with them. Basically, the well water doesn't break into the river water. If we rashly enter their territory, it will bring endless trouble to ourselves Our main opponent now is the Kokang self defense force. This one is enough for us. We'd better not set up multiple enemies at the same time. That won't do us any good. "
Li Shun blinked and made no sound.
I meditated
"But according to my estimation, the Kokang self defense forces will not choose the East Road, and the possibility of them taking the east road is very small," Lao Qin added
"Why?" I asked Lao Qin.
Lao Qin said: "the territory of the Kokang self defense forces is located on the West Bank of the Mekong River, just like us. If they take the East Road, they have to cross the river first and then take the land road, because this section of the Mekong River is not suitable for navigation. They have to take a quite long land road first
"There are risks in crossing the river. They will know this better than we do. The relationship between the Kokang self defense forces and the two armed forces is not good. They have deep grievances. I don't think they will seek their own death."
Li Shun nodded and said with a sigh of relief, "yes, it's very reasonable. It's true that they won't take the East Road. They will certainly take the west road."
Lao Qin said: "I guess it's the same. It's their wisest choice to take the west road. If I were them, I would take the West Road, otherwise I would have to fly through the sky Take the forest trail on the West Road, which goes through the edge of the territory we control. "
Li Shun smiles: "but we won't do it on the edge of our territory."
Lao Qin also laughed: "yes, a fool would do this. It's too close to their base camp to fight They can come to the rescue as soon as the wind blows Moreover, the people of the Kokang self defense forces are not rabbits. Of course, they have expected that there will be trouble on the road. People will die for money and birds will die for food. Who doesn't covet his vast wealth on the mountains of the golden triangle?
"So I think that although the people of the Kokang self defense force can't predict exactly where the trouble will be, with their experience and intuition, they will be able to guess that someone will secretly attack their goods. Their 100 strong armed forces will be enough to prove their high vigilance
"Of course, they may also think that there should not be an armed force with enough strength and ambition to rob the wealth along the West Bank. They may not think that we have the courage to attack them. After all, they have never looked up to us. After all, we are a new force in the Golden Triangle."
Li Shun said with a smile, "it's just right for them to think so."
Lao Qin said: "we must keep a high degree of confidentiality about the plan of this operation. Although the Kokang self defense forces have great confidence in their armed guards, they will still be highly vigilant and alert to every armed force along the way Now, the Kokang self defense forces may not regard us as a wolf, but if they know our true intelligence and plans, will they still regard us as a rabbit? "
I said: "Lao Qin is right. In fact, which way they will take depends on their judgment of the situation. We must create an illusion for them If they decide that the west road is indeed in danger, maybe they will have to choose another route. "
Lao Qin nodded: "yes, if they have to take other routes, it's the will of God. The most important thing for us now is to block the news and never let out any information. The success or failure depends on intelligence."
Li Shun and I nodded.
I suddenly found that Lao Qin was full of the temperament of a professional soldier.
Next, we will discuss the details of the operation, the location of the ambush and the number of troops to be deployed, how to win with the least sacrifice, and the specific way of ambush
Lao Qin put forward his own plan, and Li Shun also put forward his own opinions. I have different ideas, and I can't reach an agreement yet.
We have carried out in-depth analysis and comparison of the three schemes proposed by eachIn the evening, the most perfect result has not yet been achieved. Li Shun suggests that we have dinner first and continue to discuss in the evening.
While eating, someone reported that the patrol had caught two spies of the Kokang self defense force near the headquarters.
Li Shun and I laid down our jobs and went to bed. Unfortunately, Lao Qin's prediction in the daytime was confirmed so soon.
