The Kokang region has always attracted much attention, and the Kokang Alliance's recent successful capture of the Burmese army's fortified area has attracted much attention. The Kokang allies were able to destroy the Tatmadaw defenses in just five days thanks to their flexible tactics and elite special forces.
In this battle, the Kokang Allied Forces adopted the tactics of first cutting off the rear route of the Burmese army, then attacking the logistics station and command organs, and finally pinning it head-on, which successfully disrupted the defense plan of the Tatmadaw and weakened its combat effectiveness and morale. In addition, the Kokang Allied Army's special forces are specially trained and equipped with advanced equipment, and their night infiltration and sabotage operations have caused great ** and panic for the Tatmadaw army.
It is worth mentioning that there are many loopholes and shortcomings in the deployment of the Tatmadaw in the fortified area, which also provides an opportunity for the success of the Kokang Alliance. The victory of the Kokang Alliance not only increased their prestige, but also aroused more curiosity about their strength and tactics. What's next for the Kokang Alliance? How will Myanmar** respond? These are the focus of attention.
The Burmese army has exposed some serious weaknesses and shortcomings in the conflict. Their fortifications and fire positions, while able to withstand frontal attacks, were not effective against attacks from the flanks and behind. In addition, the armed forces are scattered and lack effective coordination and support. Although command and logistics facilities are located in relatively safe places, they do not have adequate vigilance and protection.
These weaknesses were exploited by the Kokang Allied forces, dealing a fatal blow to the Burmese army. The Myanmar military needs to take a hard look at these issues and improve them in order to improve its combat effectiveness and survivability in the conflict.
