The conflict situation in Myanmar has always been the focus of much attention, and a series of drastic changes have taken place recently. The Tatmadaw has been unable to effectively respond to the tactics of the Kokang Army, which has resorted to piecemeal tactics, skillfully using the terrain and gaining the support of the local population to launch sustained attacks at key locations such as Lao Cai and Tianmen Mountain. This situation shocked the outside world, because in terms of the number of troops and the performance of the equipment, the Burmese army should have an advantage. Although the Tatmadaw deployed its main mobile division and other armed forces, it was unable to respond effectively to the Kokang Army's offensive. The Burmese army's planes and artillery were ineffective in the mountains and forests of the Kokang region, while the Kokang army attacked like a hornet, effectively weakening the fighting power and morale of the Tatmadaw army.
In this conflict, the Kokang Army adopted the tactics of ant siege, using the strength of small detachments to bite and sneak attack, successfully weakening the Burmese army. It is worth mentioning that although the equipment of the Kokang Army was relatively backward, it was able to combine the terrain and skillfully create this tactic, and achieved unexpected results in actual combat. Different from the traditional hard-fought battles, the Kokang Army is good at flexibly using ant siege tactics, and will not directly confront the main force of the Burmese army, but adopts a decentralized approach to sneak attacks and attacks. This tactic made the main force of the Burmese army like a cannon fighting mosquitoes in the face of the Kokang army, and it was unable to effectively exert its strength. As a result, the Tatmadaw has been in a passive position despite its presence in aircraft and artillery, and has never been able to effectively respond to the Kokang Army's flexible tactics.
The development of this conflict is worrying, and it has also triggered deep reflection on Myanmar's military strategy and strength. The Kokang Army showed a tenacious offensive spirit in the face of gaining an advantage, and they united like ants. The Kokang special forces made a mysterious assault, and the Kokang army fought fiercely against the Burmese army to occupy the arch palm and build a fortification, and ate a battalion of the Burmese army in 5 days. The Kokang Army's use of drones and other means to conduct reconnaissance, coupled with the coordination of ground reconnaissance forces, discovered the weaknesses of the Burmese Army in the Gongzhang fortification area. The Kokang Army dispatched special forces to carry out a mysterious assault, and then the Kokang Army concentrated its superior forces to launch a fierce attack on the Burmese army in the fortified area. The Kokang special forces used tactical helmets, large-caliber sniper rifles and night vision systems, etc., and had obvious advantages in equipment.
The Kokang special forces took the lead in the attack, killing the commanding heights and key stronghold targets of the Burmese army, creating conditions for the subsequent Kokang army attack. After the special forces attacked, the Kokang Army, which had completed the assembly in advance, began to attack the fortified Burmese army from all sides at the same time. This is a typical ant siege tactic, which makes it very difficult for the 125th Battalion of the Burmese Army to adapt. The Burmese army has built offensives and obstacles that can withstand mechanized equipment, but it cannot withstand the ant-like swarming Kokang infantry and small drones. The bunkers built by the Kokang Army are well camouflaged and connected by trenches, and it is very difficult to attack normally, but the Kokang Army's small drones can accurately hit these bunkers. After the Kokang Army swept away important targets by the special forces, they began to swarm and attack.
The Tatmadaw also put up stubborn resistance with the existing fortifications and bunkers, and fought fiercely with the Kokang Army for five days. The Burmese army previously announced that it could rely on complete fortifications and a large number of reserves of ** ammunition to hold out for more than half a year. But it only lasted for 5 days, and it couldn't hold on, because the Burmese army couldn't withstand the impact of the Kokang special forces, nor could it withstand the attack of drones, let alone hold on to the bite of the Kokang army. According to reports, after five days of holdout, the 125th Battalion of the Burmese garrison sent a messenger to express its willingness to negotiate surrender. This means that this battalion of the Burmese army was directly crushed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the brigade commander of the Burmese army fled the war zone overnight, looking very embarrassed. Min Aung Choi faces a serious challenge, and the Myanmar army has suffered heavy losses in the Gongzhang area, and the situation is dangerous. The Kokang Army pursued the commander of the 16th Brigade, and the Burmese army suffered heavy losses.
Min Aung Cai has asked for help from many countries, but the dilemma has not yet been solved. He warned that if the civil unrest continues, it could lead to**. There is an urgent need to bring the situation under control and avoid further instability. Is there a way to reverse the passive situation?It's still difficult, what do you think?
