After five days of fierce fighting, a battalion was annihilated, and the Burmese army was shocked: the Kokang special forces made a stunning appearance. The Burmese army's fortress, which claimed to last for half a year, was completely destroyed by the Kokang coalition forces within five days. The Tatmadaw has set up complex firing points and underground bunkers in the Gongzhang area.
In 1995, when the Yang brothers rebelled, the Burmese army took the opportunity to occupy the defense area of Gongzhang in the area, which was later occupied by the Burmese army. Since then, the Burmese army has built a large number of fortifications in the area, each of which is supported by fire, forming an interlocking line of defense.
The Burmese army was divided into platoons and spread out to form a circular stronghold. The positions of the Burmese army are mostly located on the sides of the mountainsides, at the foot of the mountains, valleys, rivers, passes, controlling roads, valleys, bridges and mountain passes. Attach importance to the organization and utilization of firepower, mark important areas in advance, and make fire plans.
At the same time, the Burmese military and civilian forts are mainly civil and masonry structures, and occasionally use large stones or stone cracks to build. The bunker firing holes are mostly 1 or 3 gun holes in the front, and the fortifications are concealed and concealed, and there are trenches connected to each other, which is not easy to detect.
The Kokang coalition did not have an absolute superiority in troops, nor did it have enough weight. The people of the Kokang Alliance don't want to die so miserably. It would be very difficult to capture such a fortress.
The Kokang Allied Forces adopted the method of first cutting off the enemy's rear route, then attacking the enemy's logistics base and command post, and then pinning down the enemy from the front and dividing the enemy. In addition, the Kokang Allies also sent special forces equipped with tactical helmets, large-caliber sniper rifles, and night vision devices.
After five days of fierce fighting, the Burmese army was defeated one after another. Eventually, the 125th Battalion of the Burmese Army sent people to negotiate the surrender. The main discussion is about the lives and livelihoods of the Burmese army after their surrender, as well as their families, and the treatment of the wounded.
In the end, the 125th Battalion of the Burmese Army raised the white flag and surrendered, which was the third unit of the Burmese Army to surrender en masse since the beginning of the 1027 campaign.
However, when the Kokang coalition counted the surrender of the Burmese army, it found that the Burmese army had been beaten to pieces. Among the 272 people, 93 are the 125th Infantry Battalion of the Burmese Army, 14 are from the 12th Field Brigade of the Burmese Army, 36 are from the Burmese Army, 27 are from the Burmese militia, 5 are staff officers of the Burmese Military Region, and 11 are armed police. Even the family members are 86 people.
It can be seen that the Burmese army is already in disarray, and is gathering all kinds of remnants of defeated troops to resist. In addition, according to the commander of the 125th Infantry Battalion of the surrendered Burmese Army, on the eve of the surrender, the commander of the 16th Field Brigade of the Burmese Army was also arching his palms.
But the night before the surrender, the commander of the 16th Field Brigade of the Burmese Army fled along the trench path with more than a hundred soldiers. Now, the pursuit party of the Kokang Allied forces is conducting a search operation.
By the time the 1027 battle began, the Kokang Allied forces had captured one hundred and eighty-five Burmese strongholds. The De'ang, the Arakan Army, the Chin Army, and the Karen Army also captured the strongholds of the Burmese army.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past month or so, the Burmese army has lost more than 6,000 soldiers, as well as militia and police. One division commander was killed in battle, three brigade commanders were killed, a dozen battalion commanders were killed in battle, and at least five or six battalions were annihilated.
With 122-mm, 155-mm howitzers alone, a battalion was lost. The Burmese army is light, at least thousands of bullets have been destroyed, and they have not yet been opened.
In just one month, the Burmese army lost four border crossings and more than a dozen towns. Many ports along the China-Myanmar and India-Myanmar borders have been controlled by local armed forces.
In many parts of Myanmar, it is dangerous for the Tatmadaw to patrol, search and march with fewer than one company. A squad, a platoon, is basically sent to death.
In Karenni State, a patrol of the 55th Division of the Tatmadaw was ambushed by the Karenni Army and the Karenni National Liberation Army in the town of Pasang, and a platoon of the Tatmadaw was defeated.
In the Chin State counterattack, the defending forces and the Chin coalition forces occupied 7 townships. The surrounding Burmese army and heavily armed policemen even left the wounded and wounded and ran out.
The Burmese Army Field Observation Group was ambushed in Mon State, and the trainees of the Fourth Advanced Training Course of the Burmese Army, escorted by the 22nd Division of the Burmese Army, entered the battlefield to patrol. As a result, they were ambushed by the security forces, and all 11 trainees and guards of the advanced training class, including the major and captain of the Burmese army, were killed.
The Kokang Allied forces recaptured the Burmese stronghold in Kozhang Xinjiezi in Xingwang District, killing six and wounding several others, one of whom was wounded and two dead. The commander of the 69th Battalion of the 16th Field Brigade of the Burmese Army was captured at Xiaobaiyan, Dashuitang Township, Xishan District.
On the Shan State front, the Kokang Allied Forces and the Ta'ang Army fought together, first with drone bombardment, followed by infantry assault, capturing the commander of the 549th Infantry Battalion of the Burmese Army.
Although there are not many battles on the battlefield in Burma, in Burma, there are more than a dozen battles every day, and each battle, can cause heavy casualties to a squad of soldiers and a squad of soldiers. If this continues, the Burmese army will lose thousands of men every month.
Although the Burmese army has 350,000 troops, 70 percent of them are used for farming and pig raising, and only 30 percent of them can really be used, that is, **10,000.
Min Aung Hlaing was also a little overwhelmed, the Burmese army's planes, artillery shells, and tanks had nowhere to use, while the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Burmese army did not know how to bombard. Every squad of the Burmese army is constantly suffering from zero blows, a squad is dead here, a squad is dead there.
From morning to night, the Burmese army loses a company and a battalion every once in a while. The most critical thing is that the Burmese army** is helpless against this, and can only watch as the local armed forces gradually take control of the villages and towns, and the Tatmadaw is trapped in one city after another.
