Since the coup d'état in February this year, Myanmar has been in turmoil, ethnic armed forces around the country have revolted, against the rule of the army, the most fierce battlefield is the Kokang region, here is the Dai and Han autonomous region, the people have a tradition of resisting oppression, the Kokang Alliance is the largest local armed group, and the Burmese army has launched a desperate struggle, they used drone bombing and disguised night raids and other tactics, inflicted a heavy blow on the Burmese army.
The Burmese army is facing an unprecedented crisis, they are trying to use the Kokang area as a breakthrough to quell the wave of resistance across the country, but the combat effectiveness of the Kokang Alliance Army has exceeded their expectations, they not only have a heavy **, but also grasp the local geographical advantages, they are a well-trained, fierce mountain guerrilla force, they can be flexible, hand-to-hand combat, strong psychological endurance.
The Kokang Alliance has grown up with a lot of twists and turns, they were formed by a group of ordinary people in 2009, when there were only 26 people and one rifle, they waged an asymmetrical war with the Burmese army, paid a heavy price, but they did not give up, after more than ten years of development, they have become a powerful armed force of tens of thousands of people, they have repeatedly captured the important town of Lao Cai in Myanmar, showing their strength.
The biggest advantage of the Kokang allies is their drones, they use homemade drones, they carried out a large-scale bombing of the positions of the Burmese army, this is an extremely effective tactic, the drones are able to fire shells from different angles, accurately hit the target, causing huge damage, the defense line of the Tatmadaw was quickly broken, the number of drones also frightened the Tatmadaw army, their morale dropped significantly, and they could not resist effectively.
The Kokang Allied Army also used another ingenious tactic, they sent a reconnaissance team disguised as the Burmese Army, went deep behind enemy lines, and collected information on the deployment of the Burmese Army, which provided important guidance for their subsequent attacks, they used their familiarity with Lao Cai to disguise themselves as the Burmese Army, patrolled the city, communicated with the Burmese Army, and did not arouse any suspicion, they recorded in detail the fortifications of the Burmese Army, ** camps, Command post, etc., which made the defense of the Burmese army lax, for the attack of the Kokang Allied Army disrupted the defense plan of the Burmese army, they quickly launched a general offensive, marched to the urban area of Lao Cai, they used rifles, artillery, mortars, etc., the last fortifications of the Burmese army were covered with fierce artillery fire, and then the infantry troops attacked in two ways, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Burmese army, the Burmese army could not resist, could only flee in all directions, and some soldiers surrendered or were captured.
The Kokang Alliance's successful capture of Lao Cai was a major victory for them, and their influence in the region increased greatly, they controlled the important passage along the Sino-Burmese border, ensured the movement of their goods and personnel, and they also established good cooperative relations with other ethnic forces, forming a broad resistance front.
Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of the Burmese Army**, was shocked and panicked by the Kokang Alliance's victory, and he realized that his regime was facing a great crisis, he had to deal not only with the powerful threat of the Kokang Alliance, but also with opposition forces across the country, his army had been defeated on multiple battlefields, and the foundation of his rule was constantly shaking, and he had to take tougher measures to suppress the rebels and maintain order.
However, such an approach will only exacerbate the contradictions, exacerbate the conflict, the situation in Myanmar is becoming more and more unstable, and the international community has also strongly condemned the actions of the Myanmar army, calling on it to respect human rights, restore democracy, release political prisoners such as Aung San Suu Kyi, stop violent repression, engage in dialogue with the opposition, and seek a peaceful solution.
The future of Myanmar is full of uncertainties, and the rise of the Kokang Alliance is an important variable, they have shown great combat power and will, they are fighting for their people and land, they are an important force in Myanmar, their actions have also affected the political landscape of Myanmar, and their fate will be closely linked to the fate of Myanmar.
