50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 714 Apache Raid

Before the rise of Khun Sa's group, Lo Hsing Han, a man from the Kokang region of Myanmar, was already the largest drug lord in the area who cultivated poisonous plants.

Khun Sa's rise clearly infringed on Roh Hsin Han's interests. In 67, the two forces fought a major battle, in which Khun Sa's group emerged victorious.

After his victory, he controlled 70% of the drug production and most of the trafficking business in the "Golden Triangle".

From then on, Khun Sa became the second-generation drug lord of the Golden Triangle.

Two years later, Khun Sa's group had become too powerful to control, and the Myanmar government lured him into a trap and soon sentenced him to death.

They did not dare to execute Khun Sa directly because they were afraid of Khun Sa's army.

After Khun Sa was captured, the Khun Sa Group did not collapse. Instead, under the leadership of Zhang Suquan, Khun Sa's second-in-command, they repeatedly routed the Myanmar and Thai forces that were trying to suppress them.

Years later, Zhang Suquan used a scheme to rescue Khun Sa, who was trapped in Yangon.

At this time, the monkeys began their attack on Myanmar, and the Myanmar army could only focus on dealing with the external enemy, leaving no time to target Khun Sa.

Having gained a respite, Khun Sa's group grew stronger and stronger, and by the 80s, the Golden Triangle had almost become Khun Sa's independent kingdom.

At this time, Khun Sa's biggest supporter was America, and most of the weapons in Khun Sa's possession were provided by America's arms dealers.

Khun Sa's method of controlling the local area was quite simple: he used 3000 as a planting base, monopolized the purchase of locally grown poisonous plants, and then used his own production and trafficking chain to sell them all over the world.

In order to expand the planting area of ​​poisonous plants, he began to gradually penetrate and expand into the surrounding areas, and many villages like Paqianlaozhai became new planting bases.

This is also the reason behind the murder of Yanlong's entire family.

After leaving Xishuangbanna, Sun Zhiwei headed straight for the border and quickly entered the jungles of the Golden Triangle.

Khun Sa now controls a 400-kilometer stretch of the Thai-Myanmar border, and the narrow strip of land in eastern Shan State, Myanmar, bordering the Thai provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Mae Hong Son, has become his "independent kingdom."

He chose Wan Hin De Village (also known as "Man Sing Tei") in Mae Khai District, Mae Chan District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, as the "capital" of his "kingdom".

During the golden age of Khun Sa's power, he was surrounded by an elite force of 3000 men year-round.

He also has 6000 troops stationed at his headquarters in Homon, and he commands an armed force of about 20,000 men from south to north in Shan State.

He himself lived in a mansion called "The White House" about 10 kilometers from the Homon camp.

Khun Sa had been subjected to attacks from the three neighboring countries for many years, so he reacted very quickly to assassinations and attacks.

Sun Zhiwei knew that if he could not cripple them in one fell swoop, he and his troops would soon disappear into the vast mountains and forests.

To deal with an old fox like Khun Sa, he could only fight fast.

For the next two weeks, Sun Zhiwei traveled throughout the core areas of Khun Sa's forces, thoroughly figuring out his sphere of activity and the deployment of his main troops.

In order to increase the intensity of the attack, Sun Zhiwei began to take stock of his ammunition inventory.

In the jungles of the Golden Triangle, the most effective ammunition for maximizing lethality is incendiary bombs.

However, the total amount of incendiary and napalm bombs he currently has in his space is less than 50 tons.

To ensure the punitive action would be as effective as possible, he even made a special trip to the American military base in U-Tapao, Thailand.

This place stores most of the ammunition that America evacuated from the monkeys in previous years, including a large number of incendiary bombs and napalm bombs.

Because America's strategic focus had shifted, the Utaburg base was sparsely populated and poorly managed. Sun Zhiwei didn't hold back, emptying the incendiary and napalm bombs, obtaining over 20,000 tons of explosives.

March 15th is Maha Prasat, a traditional Thai festival. Khun Sa was hosting a banquet for his key subordinates at his "White House" residence.

Just 10 kilometers away from Khun Sa's "White House," in the dense forest, there is a flat area that has been temporarily cleared.

Sun Zhiwei, dressed in a full U.S. military flight suit, was inspecting an Apache helicopter on the open ground.

Since he acquired the Apache from Mexican drug lords, he has only used it twice in the past few years.

It was used to take down a major drug lord in Mexico once, and in Java for travel on another occasion.

The Apache hadn't fully unleashed its terrifying combat power on the last two occasions, so today was its chance to prove itself.

After confirming that the aircraft was in good condition and had sufficient fuel, Sun Zhiwei put on his flight helmet and sat in the cramped cockpit of the Apache.

Soon, the Apache's engines were started, and the huge propellers spun, kicking up small tornadoes of dust and leaves from the open ground.

The plane slowly took off, and Sun Zhiwei accelerated towards Khun Sa's fake 'White House', following the direction he remembered.

Today's first battle must be to eliminate Khun Sa and his main leaders, and only then can we deal with his troops.

Apache helicopters are incredibly fast, with a top speed of 365 kilometers per hour.

As it continued to accelerate, two minutes later, the Apache broke through the defenses of the Homon military camp at extremely low altitude.

Sun Zhiwei piloted the Apache helicopter and reached the destination in less than two minutes, covering a distance of 10 kilometers. The speed was so fast that Khun Sa's warning circle did not even have time to react.

When Khun Sa's fake "White House" came into Sun Zhiwei's view, he did not slow down or stop at all, but instead dropped ten napalm bombs directly from the space.

When the American Air Force bombed Tokyo, one plane carrying 8 tons of small napalm bombs burned an area of ​​6500 square meters.

Sun Zhiwei is currently using America's latest model of large M69 cluster bombs, each containing dozens of small napalm bombs.

单枚69母弹覆盖范围约2000-3000平方米，燃烧温度可达800-1200℃。

Sun Zhiwei only confirmed that the throwing position was not off course, and then stopped worrying about the bombing effect.

Under the bombardment of such powerful napalm, not only would the wooden villa that looked like the fake 'White House' be heated to a red-hot temperature, but even the steel bars inside would be burned red-hot.

The first bomb had just exploded over the fake 'White House' when Sun Zhiwei's Apache helicopter took off from the villa and headed straight for the nearby military camp.

There are 3000 of Khun Sa's elite troops there, and they are one of his main targets to eliminate today.

The military camp was only 1 kilometer away from Khun Sa's villa, and the Apache helicopter arrived in no time.

At this moment, the fake 'White House' behind him was already engulfed in flames from the bombardment of napalm.

A large number of soldiers were rushing out of the barracks.

When Sun Zhiwei saw them, they also saw the Apache helicopter rapidly approaching.

These men were indeed Khun Sa's elite troops. Within seconds of seeing the helicopter, several rockets were launched from the camp toward Sun Zhiwei.
