The huge Y-20 took off from the small military airport in Jiangnan City. Other than Jiang Cheng's temporary special forces team of seven, there were also two captains from the General Staff Department explaining the main purpose of the mission to Jiang Cheng and the others.
The two officers explained that there was currently a civil war in Myanmar, a neighboring country on the border of China. Hundreds of Chinese citizens sent there for labor work were still under the control of the local government forces. The independent army fighting against the local government forces had no way to deal with the local government forces because of the human shield tactics carried out by the local government forces. They were chased to a place 20 kilometers away from the border by the government forces.
The central government of the M Nation and the Independence Army in the northern part of the M Nation were still in a civil war since World War II. The two sides had been fighting back and forth for decades, and there were dozens of ceasefires. No one could destroy the other, and no one could defeat the other. Behind the M Nation's government, there were the shadows of some relatively powerful forces, and behind the Independence Army, there was the support of our compatriots.
Many of the territories there had been sacred and inviolable since ancient times. As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was already the legal territory of the Chinese government. The late Ming Emperor had stationed troops there, and the Kokang people who had lived there for more than 300 years were actually Han Chinese. They could read and speak Chinese. If it wasn't for the weakness and incompetence of the Qing government at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the northern part of the area would now be under the jurisdiction of China's Yunnan Province.
Although after World War II, the M Nation carried out the anti-Chinese movement. They abolished the use of Chinese characters and forbade the teaching of Chinese. However, in order to preserve their excellent Chinese traditions, the brave Han Chinese were forced to accept the title of "Kokang Tribe." They called the local Chinese dialect "Kokang Language" and the Chinese characters they used "Kokang Script." They believed that they were the descendants of Yan and Huang until their deaths.
Although they were called Kokans, they still had the Han culture in their hearts. In this civil war, hundreds of China's lumberjacks were captured by the M Nation's government forces. They took these 200 people as hostages and pushed these Chinese citizens to the front line, commonly known as meat shield tactics.
The brave Kokang soldiers couldn't bear to kill their compatriots, so they didn't open fire. They were now forced to the mountains 20 kilometers away from the border, fighting guerrilla warfare with the government forces. After the General Staff Department learned of this, they were furious. General Ning even threatened to send fighter jets to the front line if necessary, ready to fight at any time.
However, after some consideration by the chief, this proposal was put on hold. The problem wasn't that we couldn't defeat them. On the contrary, if we wanted to fight them, it would be like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. It would be like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. Any division would be able to beat them to a pulp. But the consequences were not something the country could bear. First, it would destroy our country's basic foreign policy. First, we would never interfere in the internal affairs of another country. This policy was set by the President of China and the Nation.
Secondly, there were some very powerful forces behind the war in Merica. This made the high-level personnel even more afraid to act recklessly. Because no one knew if it would have a serious international impact once the war started, as well as the international community's view of our country in the past.
In conclusion, if they didn't fight, everything would be fine. But once the war started, it was likely to cause serious consequences.
But if they just ignored the local war, it would be too irresponsible. First of all, the safety of the hundreds of Chinese citizens must be guaranteed. If they didn't take action, it would be too harsh on the hearts of the people. Moreover, as a Kokang nation that was almost without a place to live, they were all our compatriots. It was too unbearable to just watch them get killed by the foreign races.
In order to save the lives of our people and for our compatriots in a foreign country, the military council decided to immediately send out the most elite Wolf Fang Brigade to carry out a surprise attack. They were to attack quickly and destroy the arrogance of the local government forces, forcing them to release the people and stop the war. If the other party didn't agree to release the people, they would carry out the decapitation operation. They would kill a few of their high-ranking officers first and see if they were honest or not. Anyway, no one would be able to find out who did it.
However, what was unexpected was that the most elite members of the newly established Wolf Fang Battle Team had actually failed in their second decapitation mission. The soldiers that were sent out had yet to return. They had lost contact with them for 48 hours. The first thought that came to the mind of the experienced General Ning was that the mission had failed.
It was very likely that the soldiers had encountered some extremist militants, or some special forces sent out by a big country. Otherwise, it was impossible for the Wolf Fang Brigade to be missing. Because of this, the high-ranking officers in the General Staff Department were very anxious. Time waits for no man. Now, there were nearly 300 Chinese laborers who were trapped or captured. They had not been contacted for 72 hours. Even the central government didn't know their current situation. In order to save their compatriots as soon as possible and force a stop to the war, General Ning decided to send out the veteran Wolf Fang Brigade.
The first person that came to his mind was the ex-captain of the Wolf Fang Brigade, Jiang Cheng, who was unemployed at home. This soldier had a very high military quality, and his fighting style was very tough. If he was on this mission, the success rate of the mission would be 99%. Basically, it was already a sure win. Because of this, General Ning didn't even think about it and directly gave the order to Jiang Cheng.
In order to save time, General Ning didn't ask Jiang Cheng to reorganize the team. Instead, he asked Jiang Cheng to do it himself. After all, there weren't many ex-members of the Wolf Fang Brigade who could come immediately. Moreover, after so many missions, the ex-members of the Wolf Fang Brigade had basically been killed or injured. From more than 40 members when they first joined the army, there were only seven members left when they were disbanded last year.
The seven of them were the treasures of the country and the army. Ning Huanyu didn't want them to take risks, because the life of each member was extremely precious. However, General Ning didn't have the slightest pity for Jiang Cheng. In his mind, Jiang Cheng was a monster, a cockroach that couldn't be killed. No matter how difficult the mission was, he could complete it successfully and beautifully. He could even complete the mission before the other party realized what was going on.
For this reason, Ning Huanyu did not hesitate to choose Jiang Cheng. Anyway, this brat was eating all day and playing with women at home when he had nothing to do. Giving him something to do would make this brat wake up and not forget his identity.
Jiang Cheng's group of seven sat in the Y-20's spacious rear cabin. The cabin was filled with all sorts of weapons, including American, British, and Russian models. There were all sorts of firearms, weapons, and grenades. Inside the cabin, there was even an old Type-79 tank. Although it was very old, it had been maintained very well. The 105mm muzzle was slightly pointed upwards, and the former king's demeanor was unmistakable.
Jiang Cheng gently touched the long muzzle of the tank and said to Liu Dazhi, "Dazhi, do you want to drive this thing and show off?"
Liu Dazhi was wiping a German-made MP5 submachine gun that he had just chosen. When he heard Jiang Cheng's question, his eyes suddenly widened. He said in surprise, "Brother Jiang, don't tell me you want to drive this thing and fight with them?"
Jiang Cheng patted the majestic muzzle and said with a smile, "Why not? Comrade, please tell the pilot to lower the plane when we reach the destination. I'll get this thing off!"
The two captains were also shocked. This was the first time they had heard of someone who dared to drive a tank off a high-speed Y-20. It was simply too outrageous. It was no different from courting death. Even if the plane flew close to the ground, driving such a heavy tank like this was not something an ordinary person could handle. It would definitely fall apart.
One of the officers had long heard of Jiang Cheng's reputation in the military. He knew that he was very capable. He advised, "Captain Jiang, you can't joke about this. This tank was retired from the military. Although it is still useful now, it is hard to guarantee that there are no problems with it. If, if, if something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to the chief?"
Jiang Cheng said, "It doesn't matter. When you fly to a place with a lake or flat land, just open the hatch. I have a way!"
"Captain Jiang, you really can't do this. This tank was proposed by the military. We are going to transport it to another area. If you drive it away, we won't be able to explain it to the military. No, no, we really can't!"
Jiang Cheng suddenly became angry. He reprimanded with a straight face, "Why do you care so much? If anything happens, I will take responsibility. We are going to fight for our country. It's very likely that we won't be able to come back tomorrow. If you don't give us some weapons and equipment, how are we going to fight the enemy? Don't be so long-winded. Let me ask you, will you give us this tank or not?"
Although the officer was afraid of Jiang Cheng's strength, he was also a stubborn person. His temper flared up. He stubbornly said, "No, I said I won't give it, so I won't give it!"
Jiang Cheng was happy. He winked at Liu Dazhi and Du Yuan, who were standing behind the officer. The two understood at a glance. Liu Dazhi quickly made a move and knocked out the captain with a karate chop. Du Yuan also knocked out the other officer.
