    Northeast Military Region, Daming Mountain Post.  ¦æ The main base of the Northeast Military Region is the Guogen area, which is close to the border on the right, the turbulent Salween River on the left, and the Nanding River originating from Cangyuan City in China to the south.  The entire base area is sandwiched between the national border and the Salween River, forming an S-shape.  In this S-shaped area, the point on the lower left is particularly important.  Because it is protected by the Salween River on the left and the Nam Dinh River at the bottom, the enemy must cross these two obstacles before attacking. Troop transportation and material logistics supply will be blocked by natural chasms, making support difficult.  However, the defenders can rely on the mountain defense to repel the enemy's attack relatively easily.  But in fact, the lower left corner of this S-shape, an area of ??more than ten kilometers with Gunong City as the center, was occupied by the Juding government troops and became the bridgehead for the enemy to advance into the Northeast Military Region.  In the early 1970s, in order to pull out this nail and ensure the safety of Guogen, the People's Army launched the Battle of Gunong under the command of the domestic military advisory group just after capturing Guogen.  However, at that time, the domestic military advisory group had too much appetite. First, they did not understand the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, secondly, they did not understand the enemy's determination to defend Gunong, and thirdly, they did not have sufficient support, so they concentrated all their forces and blindly formulated the east-west line to advance simultaneously and capture the west at the same time.  The important town of Lashio, and the battle plan to seize Gunong on the eastern front.  The plan is exactly the same as the main strategy of trying to capture major cities in the early stages of the domestic revolution before the armed forces were completed.  Most of the more than 10,000 people's troops participating in the battle came from China. Educated youths who had just picked up a gun and had not even completed basic training were ordered by their superiors to join this bloody battle.  The results are self-evident.  The troops on the Western Front who were preparing to cross the mountains lost their way in the deep mountains and were trapped in the virgin forest and trudged hard. In the end, they collapsed before reaching the place where the battle started.  A large number of educated youths were separated, and more than half never came back. It is not known whether they died in the jungle or were captured.  ??The battle on the east front against Gunnong was actually very lively. They successively captured several major mountain tops in the lower left corner of the S-shape such as Daming Mountain and Mangka Mountain, and approached Gunong's flank from the northwest.  The enemy was caught off guard and lost several important commanding heights. In the early stages of the battle, they even planned to blow up the Gunung Bridge and escape.  But the Seventy-seventh Division stationed in Gunnong at that time was directly under the military government. Under the mandatory orders from the highest level, they had to fight against the People's Army and defend to the death.  In order to protect Gunong, the Myanmar government sent additional reinforcements, transported supplies, and sent fighter jets and bombers for support.  When the enemy showed a firm determination to fight and reinforcements continued to arrive, the People's Army exposed its shortcomings of insufficient strength, hastily organized troops with poor combat effectiveness, and almost no air defense capabilities.  The two sides fought fiercely for forty-two days, and the total number of additional troops dispatched by Juding reached 10,000. Coupled with the lack of air defense capabilities, the People's Army sacrificed too much, so they could only fight and retreat, giving up the battle plan to capture Gunong.  This small battle lasted for more than 40 days, and the total number of participating troops on both sides did not exceed 20,000, but it was widely publicized by both sides.  One side said that it was a great victory that eliminated the main force of the People's Army; the other side said that it trained the team through long-term intensive operations.  In short, everyone thinks they are the winner.  But judging from the facts, the real winner was the government forces, who held on to this vital bridgehead.  The reason why they did not expand the results after the war, but instead shrunk their defense lines, was actually because they were afraid of China, which was supporting them behind the scenes.  With this nail firmly stuck in Guogen's weakness, as long as the situation changes, they can send troops northward at any time, capture the Qingshui River Basin, and directly attack Guogen County.  It was also after this battle that the domestic parties recognized the fact that the People's Army was ineffective and believed that the People's Party did not have the strength to liberate Quanjuding.  In addition, the military government took the initiative to visit overseas to show its goodwill, and the country gradually reduced its support for the People's Party, and eventually withdrew its military advisory group and completely abandoned it.  A few years can make people forget a lot of things.  For example, there have been bloody battles on the hills ten kilometers around Gunnong, and numerous bones can be seen among the vegetation.  The withdrawal of domestic aid gave the government forces besieging the People's Party a big sigh of relief.  The only military subdivision still on the west bank of the Salween River announced that it would focus on economic construction, and actually built a large number of fortresses. It pretended to be a tortoise and started building new cities with great fanfare, striving to make all people live a better life.  A better life, as if they are not interested in armed revolution. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Especially after the disastrous defeat of Kitengura and the dismantling of the People's Party headquarters and the Northeast Military Region in the country, it seems that the spirit has suddenly collapsed, and the situation is getting worse day by day.  Not to mention rebuilding, it is less than a quarter of its heyday.  Although it is very frustrating to send people to sneak attack on checkpoints every day.If you are being harassed, please call me. I don¡¯t know what China¡¯s attitude is.  But this is just scabies, which cannot be cured temporarily but is not fatal.  Those who have strong soldiers and horses have no intention of making revolution, and those who cause trouble every day have no strength.  So although the military still maintained a high degree of vigilance, the frontline troops inevitably became exhausted in the long-term peaceful environment.  In the south, we have to be wary of the People's Army coming to check the posts at any time, while in the north, it is completely peaceful on the northern front.  "Chu", a soldier of the Kuai 5th Battalion of the 77th Division, was holding his M16A1 automatic rifle boredly, leaning on the top of the bamboo tower of the checkpoint, looking at the mountains in the distance with dull eyes.  The orthodox Yading people do not have surnames. They only have first names. The number of characters in the first name is usually one or several.  Then, the specific name of this person depends on the age and status of the person who is addressing him. For example, if this person has a higher status than yourself, then add "Wu" in front of the name.  If the other person is younger than you and male, then add "mai", which means "little brother".  So when other officers and veterans called him Chu, they would call him Maang Chu. Only the recruits would respectfully call him Wu Chu.  Chu has been serving as a soldier here for three years. When he first came, he was a little excited and a little scared.  I was excited because the Seventy-seventh Division had gone through the baptism of the Battle of Gunong and became the most combat-effective force in the whole country. A large number of generals came from this division. If you serve in this division, your chances of getting ahead are much greater.  "The fear is that the People's Army will attack. If we are accidentally killed by artillery shells or bullets, it will be tragic."  ¡°However, after serving as a soldier here for several years, he has long since washed away his fear of the People¡¯s Army.  This is the consensus of all the officers and soldiers of the 77th Division, even if they have the courage to fight.  It¡¯s good to not have to fight, but you also lose the opportunity to gain military exploits, and you can only gain qualifications step by step.  Chu has been a soldier for three years, but he has only reached the level of a superior soldier. It is hard to say whether he will be a squad leader in this life. If he wants to be promoted to a lieutenant, there is probably no hope.  After staying on the roof of the bamboo building for a long time, his hands and feet felt cold, and the cold wind blew into his neck.  It¡¯s definitely not cold in winter, but it depends on the altitude.  The post was built on the top of Daming Mountain, which is more than 1,600 meters above sea level. The bamboo towers are erected high and there is no shelter around. The wind blows back and forth, and even wearing cotton clothes will make you shiver with cold.  Chu was wearing a military uniform, which was still a single piece of clothing. After standing there for a long time, he felt like his whole body was frozen into a popsicle.  Don't blame your superiors for not giving them cotton-padded clothes. In fact, they must have been sanctioned by the West and are extremely poor. They are among the poorest countries in the world.  If it weren't for its important strategic location and the United States providing assistance from time to time, he wouldn't even be able to afford the M16 he has. How would he have the money to issue cotton-padded clothes to a group of cannon fodder?  ¡°Maang Gang, bring me a cigarette!¡± With trembling hands, he asked the companion next to him for a cigarette, trying to use the little heat from the cigarette to dispel the bone-chilling chill.  Maung Gang remained silent. He took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his coat pocket, carefully shook out one, handed it to him reluctantly, and then carefully put the cigarette back into his pocket.  Soldiers are all poor people. They can exchange it for RMB at noon and earn less than ten yuan a month. What can this little money do? They can't even afford filtered cigarettes.  Just this one bag was enough for him to eat for a week, and it made him heartbroken to lose even one. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He is "Mao" Gang, and he is "Wu" Chu, so he dare not refuse to give the other party his hand for a cigarette.  "This damn weather! Those officers were warming up in the room and drinking hot soup, but they sent us out to stand guard. In fact, there is no need to stand guard at all. The People's Army will definitely not come to touch the sentries in this damn weather. It's such a cold day  , they wear less clothes than we do, and the cold can kill them!" Chu complained.  After serving as a soldier for a long time, you either become the king of soldiers, or you become a soldier.  However, Bingyouzi is always several times stronger than Bingwang, and he has a tendency to develop in the direction of Bingyouzi.  As long as there are no superiors, he will say a few grumbling words to vent his dissatisfaction.  Especially in front of new recruits, if I say something slightly outrageous and see the admiring eyes of the other recruits, I feel a sense of accomplishment. It seems that I have become a high-ranking figure who is guiding the country.  This time he also received Maung Gang¡¯s admiring look, and he proudly struck a match and lit a cigarette.  The smoke poured into the lungs with heat, and my body suddenly felt much warmer.  He stamped his feet vigorously and hid his body behind the bamboo pole supporting the ceiling, trying to use this small bamboo pole to block the raging cold wind on the mountain.  Maung Gang didn¡¯t dare to be lazy like him. Although the cold wind was biting, he still walked around on the bamboo tower in a daze, looking around responsibly.  Suddenly, he stopped and tilted his neck as if listening to something.  "What's wrong?" Chu was startled by his actions, fearing that it was really the People's Army.He came over and squatted on the spot first, sitting on the floor of the bamboo building.  Then he raised the gun, slowly touched the edge of the bamboo building, carefully stuck his head out, and looked in the direction where he was listening.  In the distance, the trees are desolate and the grass is withered and yellow, swaying back and forth with the mountain wind.  White snow fell on some mountains, mixed with black soil, brown grass, and gray rocks.  The cold wind howled, and the misty north wind blew up, turning the sky gray.     Nothing at all!  Chu stared for a while with his eyes wide open, but found nothing.  Apart from the howling wind, not even a rabbit or bird could be seen in the mountains.  "What are you doing? You scared me. I thought it was the People's Army coming!" Thinking about the way he had lost his composure just now, Chu became angry, jumped up, slapped Maung Gang on the back of the head, and beat him.  He staggered and almost fell off the bamboo building, cursing to himself.  Maung Gang didn't dare to fight back, so he could only turn his head to avoid it. He hurriedly pointed out and said in defense: "Soundsound, Wu Chu, I seem to have heard something?" "Sound?" Chu didn't catch the second shot.  His head was still a little dissatisfied. After hearing what he said, he listened attentively for a moment, and there seemed to be some sound, but his hand did not fall.  The two listened for a long time, and the sound gradually became louder, and they were able to distinguish the source of the sound.  They all raised their heads and looked at the sky.  It is difficult to distinguish objects from the gray sky, and the mist on the mountain rises and disperses, which further hinders observation.  They looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything.  Until a sudden cry came from the outpost: "Plane! That's a plane, a plane of the People's Army!" From the sound, it seemed like their platoon leader was shouting.  It turns out to be a plane!  Chu couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved. He was no longer afraid that he would be punished by his superiors for failing to call the police in time.  He continued to look in the direction of the sound, but still saw nothing.  And the voice gradually weakened and seemed to have left.  If this is a plane, it must be flying very high, so high that no one can see it.  When did the People¡¯s Party also have planes? Is the platoon leader really right?  His question was answered immediately. The platoon leader's panicked voice came from the post, calling the company headquarters through the walkie-talkie: "Company Headquarters, Company Headquarters, this is the post on the main peak of Daming Mountain. A People's Army plane was spotted here.  Flying overhead! "Yes! I'm sure, no, it's not from China! Yes, it must be from the People's Army!"  , Anyway, it is very high. I zoomed in the telescope to ten times the focal length, but I can still only roughly see the logo of the People's Army No, no, I didn't lie! Sir, I swear, I really saw it.  The KPA logo is gone! I can explain it, really, I can see the sickle and hammer logo, but at the same time the plane looks small, so I'm sure it's flying high No, no, sir, I  I didn¡¯t lie, I really didn¡¯t lie This is not contradictory at all, yes, please listen to my explanation, Well, because the weather is very good today, cloudless, yes, the sky is very clean, so although the plane flies very high  , but I still saw it!" The platoon leader held a walkie-talkie and kept reporting the situation to his superiors. He just listened to his incoherent content, and it seemed that the other party did not believe it at all.  Is it cloudless Chu stared at the sky covered by mist with his eyes wide open, looking at the sky speechlessly.
