Title: Bai Socheng is in a desperate situation!The countdown to the battle of the Bold is counted, and guess who will have the last laugh?
Hello everyone and welcome to my military international relations blog. Today, I would like to bring you a fascinating story, a gripping life-and-death struggle in northern Myanmar.
Crisis in northern Myanmar: The war is escalating.
Recently, the escalation of the war in northern Myanmar has become the focus of attention in Asia. The Kokang Alliance's counterattack put the Burmese army under unprecedented pressure, and Baek, the former master of a military stronghold, is now locked in a life-and-death struggle. So, what should we make of this tense battle situation?
The predicament of the Burmese army: lack of troops and unfavorable war situation.
After the outbreak of the Northern Burma Campaign, Min Aung Hlaing's troops lost nearly 20,000 elites, leaving the Burmese army facing the dilemma of lack of troops. The lack of actual mobile forces has made it difficult for the Burmese army to carry out effective operations in the complex terrain of the northern Burma battlefield. The complexity of the terrain, such as mountainous and dense jungles, makes it difficult for the Tatmadaw army's armored and artillery units to function. Some elite units, such as the 99th and 88th Divisions, have suffered heavy losses, and some battalion-level units such as the 128th and 143rd Battalions of the Burmese Army have surrendered en masse, resulting in low morale. In this crisis-ridden situation, the Burmese army had to desperately defend Lao Cai, but it was Lashio – the largest Chinese community in northern Myanmar – that really needed to be defended.
The betrayal and life-and-death pressure of Bai Socheng.
The key figure in this battle is Bai Socheng, the armed leader of northern Burma. He used to be a member of Peng Ka Sing's team, but in 2009, he defected to Min Aung Hlaing, staged a military coup, and betrayed his original comrades. This turn of events made Bai Socheng the master of the Kokang region, but in the Kokang Alliance's campaign to capture Lao Cai, his son Peng Deren led the allied army to seize the eastern district of Lao Cai, which put Bai Socheng under great pressure of life and death. According to rumors, in order to survive, Baek even released deserters and criminals from prison, trying to use them to assert his power.
The actions and bans of the Kokang Alliance.
In the midst of this battle, the Kokang Allied Army issued a ban on entering the city during the Reconquest operation, clarifying the code of conduct for the troops stationed in the city. The ban requires that the military not kill innocent people indiscriminately, not enter private houses without permission, not ask for property from companies and enterprises, not destroy public buildings, not collect protection money from refugees, and protect everyone. This ban was issued not only to maintain public order, but also to clearly stipulate the handling of seized documents, emphasizing the severe crackdown on telecommunications network fraudsters. By stipulating and strictly enforcing the handling of seized documents, the Kokang Alliance has laid a solid legal foundation for the follow-up work.
The future and social governance of the Kokang region.
The Kokang region has always been a difficult place to govern, and the land and people have suffered a lot due to the prolonged war. Now, thanks to the victory of the Kokang Alliance, the moment of peace has finally arrived, and the people of the Kokang region are full of expectations and aspirations. However, the tasks of cleaning up the post-war legacy, eradicating crime and rebuilding social order are extremely complex and onerous. Especially in the campaign of the Kokang Allied Army to capture Lao Cai, Mu Jie and Mu Bang, the Lashio area became a key fortress. If the local ethnic forces in northern Myanmar capture Lashio, they will directly enter the southern plains of Myanmar, leaving the Tatmadaw without a barrier to stop it. This is also the last place for the Burmese army to be on the defensive.
The future of the war in northern Myanmar.
As the Kokang Allied forces advanced in northern Burma, the future of the war became more uncertain. After the loss of many strongholds, how the Burmese army will deal with the capture of Lashio by the Kokang Allied Army, as well as the question of whether key figures such as Bai Socheng will stay or not, will affect the direction of the entire war in northern Myanmar. The changing tide of the war is not only related to the political landscape in northern Myanmar, but also to the stability of the entire Asian region. Let's continue to monitor the development of this event and analyze the possible far-reaching implications.
Through this compelling story, we see the intricacies of the war in northern Myanmar, where every detail affects the future of the entire region. This is not only a military confrontation, but also an interweaving of politics, history, social governance and other aspects. Let's focus on the mysteries of this war, for a more stable and prosperous Asia.
