On January 5, six brigadier generals surrendered to the Lao Cai Allied Army, thus entering a new era in Kokang, and nearly 4,000 soldiers and their families of the Tatmadaw were rescued.
On January 8, Tun Min broke the news of the surrender, and it turned out that the tactics of the Allied forces encircling and sending reinforcements played a role in the later stages of the war. The Burmese army is surrounded on all sides, and the first ammunition and supplies cannot be delivered, so they can only rely on airdrops, but the Burmese army can only airdrop supplies at an altitude of 3,000 meters. The airdropped supplies were limited, and the supplies that were dropped were either intercepted by the Allied forces or blown up by drones. Only a small number of them can land, and as long as someone in the Burmese army picks them up, they will be headshot by Allied snipers. If you don't surrender, you may starve to death if you don't. The Allies have drones to monitor Burmese military bases 24 hours a day, and bomb any place where smoke rises from the storage of supplies. On the day of the surrender, the Burmese soldiers were demoralized, they ran out of ammunition and food, many of them had been starved for three days, the two strongholds of Mixiangou and Nantianmen had been without food for more than two months, and some of the Burmese soldiers who had deserted fled or surrendered, and the rest were in a state of collapse, and the soldiers were still dragging their families with them. The first thing many Burmese troops do after surrendering is to hope that the allied troops will give them a meal first.
On the battlefield, it is an enemy who fights to the death, and when it comes to the battlefield, it is a friend who talks and laughs, and Myanmar, which has been in turmoil for a hundred years, has given birth to such a strange ecology. Tun Min truthfully reported the above situation to his superiors and surrendered after being approved. After all, the Confederates had a preferential policy of treating prisoners. As the general of the defeated army, what will happen to Tun Min in the future?Tun Min said that if he was allowed to stay, he would continue to hold a position in Min Jun and continue to serve. If he was disarmed and returned to the field because of this, he would gladly accept it. The worst possible is to be sent to a military court and tried by the military. At present, news has come from Lower Myanmar that Myanmar** has detained 6 brigadier generals who surrendered in Lao Cai.
In any case, the nearly 4,000 Burmese soldiers and their families who were saved by Thontun Min should be grateful to him. Ton Thun Myint, born in 1986, is of Burmese nationality and the acting chairman of the Kokang Autonomous Region. Graduated from the Myanmar National Defense Service College, known as Myanmar's West Point Military Academy, he is fluent in Chinese. You must know that the level of education in Myanmar is very low, and there are even fewer military students, and Thon Thon Min is a leader among his peers. Tun Min was also an old rival of the Kokang Alliance, having fought several times. The first few battles of the Allied army to visit relatives were also in his operational command, and they all ended in the defeat of the Burmese army and the defeat of the Allied army, which shows that Thon Thon Min is a rare talent. The war is cruel, human life is as cheap as dirt, and now, there is a shortage of **, and Tun Min decisively surrendered to avoid the destruction of life, and it is also another form of hero.
