Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"You mean, you're just going to walk into a trap?"

"Yes."

When I heard what County Magistrate Lin said, I affirmed his idea and said this.

"But the people on the other side are not pushovers. Will they be fooled?"

At this time, County Magistrate Lin also expressed his concerns and asked me with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"What you said seems to be a necessary evil, otherwise there wouldn't be the phrase 'leading someone into a trap'."

When I heard what County Magistrate Lin said, I touched my chin and said.

Yes, it is obvious that if I were standing in Bao Xue’s position, I would also know that this is a trap.

But even if she knew it was a trap, what could she do?

The current situation has only this one flaw, and there are almost no other flaws.

So, she will take the risk and there is no time to hesitate.

By the time the domestic army and the allied forces cleared this place, it was too late to say anything.

That’s right, only when they fight with our people can they avoid being shot by heavy weapons. Only in this way do they have a chance.

So in this case, someone asked.

When Bao Xue and Wei Yun captured our position, why didn't they just defend it here? If they had done so, wouldn't we be in this difficult situation now?

I want to clarify this point, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding.

First of all, although this place has advantages over Wa State, it has no advantages over Mengbo County.

Moreover, there are people around us who can provide support.

They didn't have time to transfer too many soldiers, and the trenches were tailor-made for that squad and could accommodate relatively few people.

Therefore, even if they could bring over a lot of soldiers, there would be no cover and it would be too late.

Then when our support arrives, they will just be beaten.

Furthermore, if we stay in this place, we will be easily surrounded. When we run out of ammunition and food, we will all be killed here.

Taking all the above reasons into consideration, they decided to retreat temporarily. It was not that Bao Xue didn't know anything about war strategy.

On the contrary, she was a master and was not confused by the results of the battle. Instead, she calmly analyzed the current situation and made the right decision.

If it were me, I would probably make the same decision.

Closer to home.

As we were talking, Wang Dezhong arrived here.

"Brother Wang, what brings you here?"

I looked at Wang Dezhong and asked with a smile, temporarily stopping the conversation between us.

"Such a big thing happened. If Xiaoyue hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark."

After Wang Dezhong heard me say this, he also said the same thing.

"You have to assign me a task for this operation."

Wang Dezhong looked at me and said this.

I looked at Wang Dezhong and he wanted to slap me in the face. Why did I reveal so much to Wang Shiyue because I was so talkative?

Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened.

"Brother Wang, you are already so old, let us handle this matter..."

I looked at Wang Dezhong, waved his hand, and said this.

I really can't bear to let someone go to the battlefield at such an old age.

"Why, do you dislike my old age and uselessness?"

When Wang Dezhong heard what I said, he also pursed his beard and glared.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"Then give me a task."

After hearing Wang Dezhong say this, I felt embarrassed to tell the truth, and then Wang Dezhong interrupted me and said this.

After hearing what Wang Dezhong said, I had no other options, so I gave him a task:

"Brother Wang, after you stop them, don't linger in the fight, leave immediately, and leave the rest to us."

After I explained the matter to Wang Dezhong, I specifically gave him this instruction.

"Don't worry, I promise I can do it well."

After Wang Dezhong finished speaking, he patted his chest and said.

"Otherwise, let Ading handle this matter..."

I thought about it for a moment, and then said this.

Although in my impression, this matter is not that dangerous.

But I'm still a little worried.

If Wang Dezhong suffered some losses, I would still feel a little guilty.

"No need, I'll go find someone to prepare it now."

After hearing what I said, Wang Dezhong directly rejected me, turned around and left to make preparations.

I looked at Wang Dezhong leaving and couldn't help but shook my head with a helpless look.

Wang Dezhong is so old, why is he still like a child?

When Wang Dezhong disappeared from my sight, I asked Ading to call the team leaders and others over and start arranging things.

Now that I already know that Bao Xue might send people to this place, I must of course make good arrangements. The outcome of who will win may be revealed tonight.

......

Soon after, the night fell and it was dead silent.

Of course, I did not withdraw the armed personnel patrolling on the position, otherwise it would have been too exposed.

Not long after, a team of dozens of people, led by Wei Yun, arrived in front of the position and came from a small path.

The one defending on the front line is Wang Dezhong. Yes, this is the task I assigned to him.

I have said that Bao Xue is a woman who is very knowledgeable about military strategy, and she graduated from a serious military and political cadre school.

Knowing that there is a pit ahead, they will naturally not be stupid enough to let a large force move forward.

Instead, they would choose to send a small team to test the waters first.

In this case, the question is whether to fight or not.

If we fight, we will definitely expose our position.

If you don't fight, you will have to watch others enter your defense zone.

Fortunately, I am not too stupid. I asked others to ambush in other places and let a small team of people to stop these people.

This was the task I assigned to Wang Dezhong, and I did not ask him to beat them to death.

Just resist a few times and then run away, and you can lure the people behind Bao Xue in.

Wang Dezhong saw people getting closer and closer, and when he reached shooting distance, he fired without hesitation.

The only thing was that just as the gunshots rang out, and before the two sides had exchanged multiple shots, the sound of artillery fire was heard from Bao Xue's side.

Bao Xue actually ignored the presence of his own people on the field and launched indiscriminate artillery fire...
