At that time, Chiang Kai-shek resolutely launched a civil war in spite of the voices of the people, but the result was a disastrous defeat on his own, and he was helpless to retreat to Taiwan Province with the remnants of defeat, hoping that one day he could make a comeback.
But many troops did not have time to withdraw with him, and the remnants of one of the Kuomintang troops fled to the Golden Triangle in order to survive, and since then they have taken root in the land of a foreign country, and 70 years have passed, how are the descendants of this group of people now? Are they still living the same life as their ancestors? With doubts, let's go back to that turbulent time today and see how things really come about.
First, the defeated army
This matter has to start from 1950, when Chiang Kai-shek had already run to Taiwan and shrunk up, but due to the tight time, many troops were too late to withdraw, and the 1500 people under the Kuomintang general Li Guohui were a typical example, in order not to be suppressed by the People's Liberation Army, they were forced to cross the national border and plunge into burma, and the People's Liberation Army had no choice but to stop.
Li Guohui, who escaped the disaster, breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, this unit under him was not all his people, at first he only had 700 people in his hands, and on the way to escape, he encountered two other units that raised the number to 1500 people, and because of his highest rank, he naturally became the supreme commander of the army, and Tan Zhongren, who was a little lower than him, became the deputy commander and was responsible for laying hands on him.
Li Guohui looked at the soldiers in front of him, one head and two big, here they had no foundation, it was difficult to take root as if they were ascending to the heavens, in order to solve this problem, several people gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with the current situation. At this time, the Burmese government was anxious to know that people were already a complete country in the world and had their own sovereignty. Now that a heavily armed Chinese army is stationed in his own country, it is simply a slap in the face, so he sent a message to Li Guohui to ask him to withdraw.
Li Guohui also wanted to leave, but he didn't dare. The People's Liberation Army on the opposite side is standing on the border line, the rows of heavy artillery and soldiers armed to the teeth are watching, as long as they step on the border line, they will disappear in an instant, for them it is no longer the border line, but a complete ghost gate, helpless Li Guohui can only pretend to be stupid.
Second, friction
The Burmese government originally thought that this remnant of the Kuomintang army could understand current affairs, but after a long time, the people under them said that they had not left, which made people angry, so why not beat your own face? So the Burmese government decided to expel them by force, and if Wen de didn't work, he would come with you to fight, and if you didn't leave, you would fight until you left.
Then all the aircraft cannons were pulled out, and the Burmese army rushed to Li Guohui's location in a mighty way. On the other hand, Li Guohui did not have any heavy weapons on his side, all of them were light weapons, even mortars were only a few, and there were not many shells. The equipment gap between the two sides is quite the feeling that the PLA had when it beat up the American devil.
But in any case, the Kuomintang army is also a Chinese soldier after all, the bloodiness in the bones is innate, not to mention that they are holding a stomach full of evil fire at this time, Li Guohui is not going to let himself live when he sees this posture, he not only did not run but led the team to meet the battle with a big wave, in his words, I can't beat the People's Liberation Army, and I can't clean up your Burmese monkey?
The two sides collided directly head-on, but what the Burmese army did not expect was that the Kuomintang army on the opposite side had a strong will to fight, and the tactics were extremely strange, a death squad did not know when it touched the back of their butts, they directly took the Heavy Artillery Position of the Burmese Army, and then turned the gun port to use the Burmese army's cannon to bombard the Burmese Army with a ghost crying wolf, and finally in the eyes of outsiders surprised, the Burmese army was defeated miserably, and the remaining army turned around and ran away without a trace, leaving a large amount of weapons and equipment.
Third, take root
Later, the two sides continued to fight for almost a month, but the Burmese army did not take advantage of it at all, and in desperation, they could only negotiate peace with it, and Li Guohui also knew the truth of receiving what was good, otherwise people would really attack desperately, and he was obviously not enough to see this. Later, Li Guohui withdrew his troops from the previously occupied Daqi force and returned to the original Golden Triangle to take root.
However, a new problem has come, so many people in the army want to eat, and they need money to eat, so they can't always grab it, right? Just when he had a headache, he saw a poppy field, which we know as opium, thanks to the British, who left them behind. Li Guohui patted his thigh and had an idea, that is, to nourish the army with poison.
Since then, he has swept away the surrounding drug lords with the strength of the regular army, obediently let go, disobediently sent directly to the ghost gate pass report, under his bloody wrist, the drug business in this area has been monopolized by him, in order to increase profits, a series of dictatorial policies have been introduced, all the drug business must be centered on him, otherwise wait for trouble to come to the door.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of this incident, he was furious, and such a brave and resourceful army was thrown in Burma, which was simply a tyrannical thing. So he sent Li Mi, Li Guohui's old boss, to assist in the development of the troops, and Li Mi came to the Golden Triangle to improve the drug business, so that the Kuomintang completely controlled the drug economy in the Golden Triangle region.
Fourth, change
Under the leadership of Li Mi, they occupied a large area of territory, during which they killed the Indian mercenaries invited by Burma and lost their armor, but when they fought with the People's Liberation Army, they acted, and when they walked away, they ran over to harass him, and when they saw the People's Liberation Army killed them, they turned around and ran, the reason why they did this was entirely to show Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was also very angry about this, and directly withdrew him.
However, during this period, they also left duan Xiwen and Li Wenhuan's two armies as their backhands, and also let their confidant Liu Yuanlin be their commander-in-chief, but who thought that the matter of the United States' intervention was exposed later, and forced by public opinion to withdraw Liu Yuanlin to Taiwan, this move also showed that Chiang Kai-shek completely abandoned this unit.
Since then, the Burmese army has not given up the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Kuomintang, but after fighting and fighting, it thought of borrowing a knife to kill people, and the Burmese government found the People's Liberation Army, and under the instructions of the Party Central Committee, the People's Liberation Army crossed the national border and hit the remnants of the Kuomintang to a distance of 20 kilometers from the national border before stopping. The Kuomintang troops, who had suffered a dumb loss, planned to retaliate against the Burmese army, who had thought that they had called the People's Liberation Army again, and this time they could only run to Thailand's northern Thailand to hide.
Thailand sees that you want to come to me to take refuge, do things for me to suppress the guerrillas, I will admit your existence, for the right to live the Kuomintang army shot, the combat strength of the two sides is not a level, soon the guerrillas will be wiped out, and Thailand also recognized their existence, not only gave them permanent residency, but also named them "Northern Thailand People's Self-Defense Force".
The place where they live is a place called Mesler in Thailand, the harmonic sound is "beauty dies", this place is almost all Chinese, and Mesler is also the name they gave here, which can literally see the mood of these remnants at that time. But after all, they are all Chinese, and our country has not given up on them, and later with the continuous relaxation of the policy, these people are allowed to return to the motherland to reunite with their families, and from the beginning of the policy, some people have abandoned the dark and cast light, and later their heirs are the same, as long as those who want to go home, China's door is always open for them.
5. Summary
Everything these people did was to survive, and the turbulent situation at that time forced them to do so, and for countless days and nights these Chinese soldiers suffered from the heart, Chiang Kai-shek gave up on them, but China did not give up, and finally their dream of returning home came true.
Fortunately, that turbulent period has become history, and now people no longer have to suffer the ravages of war, compared with which we must cherish the current life.
