Chapter 33 cut off thailand

After the death of General Duan Xiwen, his chief of staff, General Lei Yutian, succeeded him as the commander of the Fifth Army, and as the commander of the Fifth Army, he succeeded as the commander of the "Northern Thailand Mountain People's Self-Defense Force".Take General Duan Xiwen's coffin back to Mesle, and build a tomb for burial on a hill at the edge of the Mesle village. General Duan Xiwen's bones are still cold, and the morale of the lone army is still undecided. The 04 Command issued an order from the Supreme Command to attack Kaoya Mountain alone. Khao Ya Shan is not isolated on the plain like Mount Tai in China, but a dangerous peak among the 100,000 mountains one after another. Even the most precise map of Thailand can't figure out where the mountains are and the peaks are. relationship location and correct name between.I don't know when it started, but according to the Thai government's speculation: it may be as far back as 1959 or 1960—or it may be earlier. Establish a secret base. For more than 20 years, it has been a completely self-sufficient independent kingdom, gathering all people who oppose the Thai government and the Thai royal family.Some radical college students in Thailand, some idealists, some bizarre politicians, and some opportunists and careerists have gone to seek refuge one after another.The Thai Communist Party organized the isolated mountainous villages near Khao Ya Shan closely.Everything was actively developing in an unobtrusive secrecy. The Thai government didn't know it at first, and then thought it was just a small group of insignificant gangsters.

What makes the Thai government notice the difference is that in the 1970s, in order to ensure the integrity of the territory and give full play to the mobility of the military, Thailand began to build strategic roads in various places, from Chiang Rai to Man Sing Die Hoa to Mae Sile , was built under this huge national defense plan.The armed groups known as "revolutionary elements" of course vowed to thwart this plan, just like some toubob in the western United States vowed to thwart the construction of the railway back then, and they did not hesitate to use bloody means. The importance of Khao Yashan can be seen on the map. The road from Mythok to Wangsa is not only strategically important, but it will also be the first crossing highway in Thailand.It is also important economically, linking the western mountains (Myso) with the eastern mountains (Wangshapang).In 1978, the construction of this road was contracted to a private company. This company, centered on Phitsanulok, moved east and west separately.When entering the Khao Yashan group, the Thai newspaper said: "I have encountered trouble." In fact, what I encountered was not trouble, but blood. The road construction workers were kidnapped and slaughtered like pigs, and the dormitories were burned like toys. .

The Thai National Defense Forces dispatched "conquests and suppressions", but every "conquest and suppression" caused a counterattack by the Thai Communist Party, which finally brought the road construction to a standstill.But to make matters worse, in the winter of 1979, the Supreme Command received definite information that the Thai Communist Party would launch a shocking offensive to cut off the railway and unite with the Miao Communist Party north of Mythor.A staff officer of the Supreme Command described the astonishment of the senior generals: They all sat there in a daze like Buddha statues. After exchanging a few words with each other, they immediately reported to the Prime Minister, because they never expected to meet. For such a terrible change.Once the railway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai is cut off, it is tantamount to cutting off Thailand in the middle. Northern Thailand will immediately be in chaos, and the administrative organization and morale of the people will also collapse.The Thai National Defense Forces and the lone Chinese army isolated in northern Xinjiang not only could not rescue the crisis, they could not even protect themselves.The southern border of Thailand will also be overwhelmed by the frenzied refugee tide. Readers can remember the tragic scene of tens of thousands of refugees rushing to Saigon on the eve of the collapse of South Vietnam.And Bangkok is the second Saigon.

In the utmost secrecy, the Supreme Command drew up a plan of "general conquest and suppression". In addition to mobilizing the two regiments of the Black Panther Army in Thailand, it also mobilized 500 members of the "Northern Thailand Mountain People's Self-Defense Force", but it did not teach them to fight. , but was listed as a reserve army.When this battle plan was presented to General Lei Yutian, General Lei thought it was a typical scholarly talk. During a dinner hosted by General Lei Yutian, I asked to explain where I could see that Thailand's combat plan was a scholarly talk.

"Many Thai military officers were educated at West Point in the United States, just like Zhao Kuo continued his father's book - Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, was a famous general. Zhao Kuo used his father's method to fight, but his entire army was wiped out." I asked him to give an example. "For example, Thailand's plan is to use a powerful fighter group to cover after the carpet bombing. The Black Panthers will use a five-way column to make a fan-shaped attack on Khao Yashan. The columns echo each other, support each other, and advance steadily. Together we will become turtles in an urn."

"It's a plan that couldn't be better." "Because you are a scholar," General Lei said, "First, Thailand does not have that many air forces. Second, once it is divided into five-way columns, the distance between columns can be measured with a ruler on the map, and it is only two kilometers or three kilometers. However, that is not two kilometers to three kilometers on flat ground, but two kilometers to three kilometers on mountainous areas. There may be a hill in the middle, and it will take a day or two for the specially trained mountain corps to cross it. They can neither respond nor support. In each valley, the Thai Communist Party only needs a few dozen people to build a pocket position, lure the Panthers in, and nail them to death with two machine guns, making them unable to attack or retreat."

I think that everything that is rational has the power to persuade the opponent.But no. "Thailand is not allowed to change the plan," General Lei Yutian said. "They said that the plan was approved by the Prime Minister. So I asked the lone army not to disperse. Once the shooting starts, it will be impossible to regroup if they disperse. They reluctantly agreed." So the lone army dispatched 250 people from each of the three or five two armies, a total of 500 people, and divided them into two divisions: the third division (the third army) and the fifth division (the fifth division). General Chen Maoxiu, a division commander of the third division, As the commander, General Yang Weigang, a deputy commander of the Fifth Army, served as the commander of the front enemy.This General Yang Weigang was the platoon leader who saved the lone army by hiding his guns and risking a military trial ten years ago when the Thai government disarmed the lone army.
