Chapter 305: Military plan
The Burmese government army does not have a regiment level organization. The government army has major military regions and several mobile divisions. Directly below the division level is the battalion level, and there are about two thousand one hundred people in a battalion.
In terms of numbers, a battalion of the Burmese government army is almost equivalent to a regiment of the Chinese army.
As a main battalion of the Northern Military District under the Burmese government army, Chiron has been stationed in Myitkyina, Kachin State for the past two years. Peng Jiasheng, the particularly powerful king of Kokang who was very noisy in the 1960s and 1970s, suddenly went into seclusion at the end of the 1970s. The entire Kachin army had no leader, so the government army easily controlled most of the Kachin State.
However, what people did not expect was that the king of Kokang, who had been in seclusion for several years, suddenly came back, and in a very short period of time, he rose strongly, not only squeezing the scattered Kachin army into a fist, but also equipped with it. Where did you get the advanced weapons, the government forces that fought were unstoppable.
In the mountainous and forested landscape of northern Myanmar, the number of troops is no longer a key factor in determining a war. It is as if the entire Kachin State was stationed with more than 50,000 troops before the rise of Peng Jiasheng again. In Myitchi alone, there were ten battalions with a total of more than 20,000 troops stationed.
But in this case, Peng Jiasheng only used a small elite death squad of about ten people to directly give the government troops to the headquarters of the Northeast Military Region in Myitkyina.
As a result, Myitkyina’s army with more than 20,000 troops lost the highest command structure and immediately turned into a mess of sand, and was driven out of Myitkyina by the Kachin army, which had only a few thousand troops. Among them, Chiron's main battalion was in confusion, wrapped in a defeated army and retreated and then retreated...
For a professional soldier, this silly failure is the greatest shame for Chiron. ..
When the defeated army gained a firm foothold after retreating hundreds of kilometers, Chiron also led a counterattack against the Kachin Army. However, although the Kachin Army was small in number, they occupied the ground and took advantage of the narrowness. Because of the terrain, the Kachin army can withstand the counterattack of thousands of government troops with only a few hundred men.
In northern Myanmar, there are dangerous terrains where one man should be in charge of the war and nothing can be opened. As long as the Kachin army occupy these difficult terrains, the government forces will be helpless no matter how many people they are.
In this case, Chiron proposed to go north along the Qin Dun River from the western line, and then through the Wulu River to attack Mogang controlled by the Kachin Army.
This plan seems to be a good plan, but it is very difficult to actually implement it. The west line is not as easy to go as the middle and east lines, in the 1980s. There is almost no way to go on both sides of the Dunjiang River. Although the government army can mobilize only a dozen inland river gunboats, this kind of 30-ton gunboat cannot hold many people at all.
If Chiron's troops want to follow the gunboat all the way north, they need to forcibly blaze a path in the virgin jungle and high mountains.
This is a very dangerous and very difficult job. Just from the small town of Griwa where the government troops boarded to Hungmarin, the straight-line distance is more than 200 kilometers, and there is almost no man’s land in the middle. Moreover, the Qin Dun River water volume in September is still very large. From this situation, traveling two hundred kilometers, to put it bluntly, this is basically equivalent to sending death.
There is no way for anyone to walk on the Western Front! This is something that the Kachin Army knows, so the Kachin Army does not fortify it at all to the west.
There is no need for fortification at all. Nature has already established the best line of defense for the Kachin Army.
Of course Chiron also knew that this route of advancement was difficult, but now that he proposed this method, he had already figured out how to deal with it.
The way Chiron opened up a route from the Western Front was very simple and rude. After all, it was a government army, so Chiron directly asked his superiors for more than 300 elephants and used them to open the way directly in the jungle.
Elephants opened the way on land, coupled with gunboats transporting supplies along the river, Chiron's main battalion progressed smoothly on the western front. Although they had traveled more than two hundred kilometers from Griva to Hongmarin for more than half a month, they also opened up a road from south to north, which is of great strategic significance.
Hongmarin in the 1980s was just a small village, far from what it will look like in the northern part of Sagaing State thirty years later. After Chiron's troops arrived in Hongmarin, they only slightly modified and supplemented their supplies, and then followed the gunboat all the way eastward.
After the Wulu River, it’s better to walk on both sides of the Wulu River, because some of the jade field owners will transport the jade rough stone from here to Hongmalin, and then take a boat from Hongmalin to Yangon, so this There is still a dirt road to walk on.
In this way, Chiron's troops walked along the Wulu River for three days, covering the 100-kilometer distance, and then directly attacked the Damukan mining area in the dark.
The battle at the mouth of the Mog stack is progressing very smoothly. The warehouse area of the mine area with the mouth of the Mog stack as the center is set up not far from the south bank of the Wulu River. The heavy firepower on the gunboat can easily Attacked the warehouse area. Especially those two 37mm high-level dual-purpose guns, here are simply unsolvable big killers.
Chiron knew very well that once the battle started here, then the Hangba field on the side of Yuewan Mountain would definitely know about it. Therefore, Chiron adheres to the principle of speeding soldiers, leaving a few gunboats and hundreds of soldiers to continue. While encircling Moge's stacking field, he led the main force to advance quickly, striving to capture this field directly before the Hangba field had time to react.
After all, this is an emerald mining area. Although there are big pits everywhere, there are also roads everywhere-whether you use elephants to transport jade rough stones or use people to transport jade rough stones, you need roads.
The main force led by Chiron quickly bypassed Yuewan Mountain and arrived at the mining area centered on Hangbachangkou. This mining area is also the hinterland of the Damukan mining area. As long as it is occupied, the entire Damukan mining area is completely taken.
According to the guide, Chiron knew that the building standing on a small high ground was a common warehouse area at the entrance of this mining area.
"Battalion commander, this warehouse area is not easy to chew. Looking at this posture, there must be preparations here. Look, the fire on this cordon is burning. There are still machine guns on the four corners. However, if you attack, the brothers will lose a lot."
"Yeah, my boss, this area is more than 30 meters higher than the river channel, and it is far away from the river channel. Our gunboats can't support it. It takes human lives to fill this big hole!"
The one who spoke was the deputy battalion commander, and the other was the company commander of the company, who were all Chiron's most trusted subordinates. Chiron led a few of his most important subordinates and some soldiers in a forest less than 400 meters away from the warehouse area, looking at the situation there with binoculars, and discussing how to take down the warehouse area.
The company commander of the second company looked at the company commander disdainfully and said, "Sir, let us join the second company! We promise to take down this warehouse area. And the guide just said that there is a new one in this warehouse area. The warehouse set up at the opening gate has been open for a year, but jadeite has not been shipped out, all piled in this warehouse. If we take this warehouse, at least we can get thousands of tons of jade! With this money, your battalion commander's strength will immediately skyrocket, and our battalion's hard work these days will be worth it."
As Chiron's right-hand man, the first and second company commanders are at odds with each other. As long as they are not involved in the war, the competition between them is still very fierce.
Of course, Chiron knew the value of this warehouse. Taking down this warehouse not only meant that he completely won the entrance of this area, but also could get thousands of tons of jadeite rough. At the entrance of the Moge stacking field just now, there were only three or four hundred tons of rough jade in a huge warehouse area, which disappointed Chiron.
The reason why he proposed such a military plan and personally led his soldiers to attack from the western front for a long distance. One is that the Kachin army is indeed undefended on the western front, and another more important reason is that this is the emerald mining area. .
Regardless of whether they belong to the government army, they are also lined with hills inside the government army. If they can receive all the emeralds from the three mining areas of Damukan, Xiangdong and Lao Pakang along the way during this military operation. Here, that is undoubtedly a huge windfall.
The wages of avarice is death! In the face of such a high-value jade, Chiron is not tempted to talk nonsense.
The deputy battalion commander said: "Boss, if we knock out the four corners of this warehouse with RPG, we will lose a bit more, and it is not impossible to lose this warehouse area. Although this warehouse area occupies a good location, and the wall is very good. Sturdy, but once we knock down the four most threatening turrets, our people will definitely be able to break through. As long as we can reach under the fence, then this warehouse will not be able to escape!"
After a pause, the deputy battalion commander continued: "Look, although the lights are turned off in the four turrets, we are not without flares. Let our people stand on their bazookas, and a few flares, our people You can launch a rocket launcher right away, knocking out these four in one shot..."
The deputy battalion commander hadn’t finished speaking. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Chiron was horrified to find that his most heartfelt deputy, his head suddenly resembled a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer. , Just torn apart in front of Chiron's eyes.
Chiron even clearly saw that because of the loss of his head, the blood gushing from his neck was two or three meters high. The blood that fell was like a rainstorm, and Chiron's face was drenched.
And this is not over. The second company commander who insisted on leading the team to attack the warehouse area just now suddenly had a big hole in his waist. This big hole is so big that Chiron can even see a company commander through this big hole. The legs, the upper body and the lower body of the second company are only connected by two flesh and blood...
The thigh of the fourth company on the opposite side suddenly burst into blood, and then the entire thigh of the fourth company disappeared abruptly, and some fine bones splashed on Chiron's arm. The soldiers next to him also lacked arms and legs in an instant. One soldier had a big hole in his chest...
Chiron lay on the ground almost subconsciously. Just as he just got down, there was a sharp "swish" sound in the air. Chiron knew that it was the sound of a bullet piercing the air... ...
