Chapter 19 Chapter 18 "The Mekong Spring"

(The remnant army, facing a double attack, adopted a strategy of exclusively attacking the Burmese army. Even so, the fighting was very tragic. The hope for the remnant army to defeat the strong with the weak lies in blowing up the Caohaizi Dam, a lake in the upper reaches of the Mekong River Valley, and defeating the government army by flooding the Seventh Army. After the government army discovered the attempt of the remnant army, they tried their best to stop it, and the two armies fought to the death on the dam. The explosives had been installed, but it was too late to detonate. The remnant army retreated with hatred, while the Burmese soldiers and civilians avoided a catastrophe and won a major victory in defending their home and country.

In the spring of 1961, due to the retreat of the remnants of the Kuomintang to Laos, the situation in Laos was turbulent, which caused strong reactions from Southeast Asian countries.This order was not completed until the end of the year.Liu Yuanlin headquarters and some officers and soldiers of the First, Second, and Fourth Armies were airlifted back to Taiwan via Laos and Thailand. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Third and Fifth Armies from Yunnan refused to carry out the order and automatically returned to the Golden Triangle.The spokesperson of Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense confirmed that the withdrawal of troops has been completed, and the designation of the "Yunnan People's Anti-Communist Volunteer Army" has been cancelled.The remaining thousands of people are all those who left the army without authorization, and the Taiwan side is not responsible for their actions.

When Liu Yuanlin returned to Taiwan, he was regarded as an anti-communist hero and a minister of merit who had returned from the front line.The Chiang father and son treated him as a loyal minister, and let him successively serve as the combat inspector of Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, the eighth, ninth, and tenth Central Committee members and consultants, and lived a life of good food and clothing and the superior life of the privileged class.Until the end of this century, in August 1993, he came out again and was elected as a member of the 14th Central Committee of the Kuomintang.

The fate of Duan, Li and Qian who parted ways with him in Laos was quite different.Although Taiwan was annoyed by Duan and Li's resistance to orders, their own son could not be left behind.Later, under Chiang Kai-shek's secret order, the designation was changed to "Guerrilla Headquarters of the Southeast Asian People's Anti-Communist Volunteer Army". long. )
