The Kokang Alliance's recent success in capturing Gongzhang is a remarkable victory!Arch is no ordinary place, it is a military stronghold occupied by the Myanmar military for more than 30 years, and has always been guarded by the 16th Field Brigade. However, under the powerful offensive of the Kokang Alliance, the Burmese army was crushed in just one week.
It is reported that the 125th Battalion of the Northern Burma Military Region and the 270 members of the Kwok's militia all raised their hands and surrendered. This may seem like an inconspicuous number, but in the case of the actual strength of the Burmese army, it is almost equivalent to the surrender of the entire formation force.
The mobile brigade of the Burmese army was even more hit, and some elite divisions were also defeated one after another, among which the commander of the 99th division of the Burmese army was killed, and the entire division headquarters was also seriously hit. And what is even more noteworthy is that there are allegedly foreign drone specialists involved in this war, what is going on here?
Perhaps in Southeast Asia, there are many armed security companies set up by Chinese, is it related to this?The guerrillas of the Kokang Allied Army have been enduring in Hongyan Township for 14 years, and what kind of changes will this victory bring to the situation?The Kokang Allied Army won successive battles all the way, recaptured the arch palm that had been lost for more than 30 years, and broke through the rolling bridge that had been lost for more than 60 years.
However, despite the fact that more than 190 strongholds of the Tatmadaw have been breached, why have they been slow to launch a general assault on Lao Cai?There are complex terrain and reasons for the lack of troops. The terrain of Kokang is very special, the Burmese army occupies many commanding heights, and they still occupy important defensive places, and the situation is extremely difficult.
Although the Kokang Allied Army had four brigades, each brigade was small, about 1,500 to 2,500 men, which made the task of attacking the fortifications extremely heavy. Under such circumstances, there is still uncertainty as to whether the Kokang Alliance will be able to achieve a final victory.
Since the Kokang Campaign, there have been fewer and fewer soft persimmons left for the Kokang Alliance, and the remaining Burmese strongholds are more and more difficult to overcome, especially on the South Tianmen Mountain, there are more than 2,000 elite Burmese troops with heavy artillery units. Although the battle situation in Kokang has not yet reached the time to decide the victory, there is not much hope for the Burmese army to turn the tables in a desperate situation, but it is not impossible.
What will be the final result of this battle?It's worth waiting and seeing.
