What is the secret behind this battle? Why did you order *** to personally go into battle and command? Who is the opponent? The result?
The long-standing Sino-Burmese border problem began with the British occupation of Burma in 1885. Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been very cautious and cautious in dealing with this issue, the problem still exists.
With the joint efforts of China and Myanmar, during the National Day of 1960, the two sides signed a clear border agreement and successfully resolved the border issue. However, the next task was to carry out boundary surveying.
Beginning in 1950, under the stubborn pursuit of our troops, the enemy troops fled in all directions and were wounded in battles many times.
After staying here for some time, the remnants were about to move elsewhere when they came across the remnants of another national army, numbering about 600 people.
More than 1,000 people had no direction, and when they finally got in touch with their superiors in Taiwan, they were told coldly that they had not offered help. Therefore, after consultation, these people decided that they could only rely on themselves.
However, these more than 1,000 people did not settle down, but attracted the attention of Myanmar. Myanmar** has repeatedly sent troops in an attempt to strike at the remnants of the Kuomintang. However, the remnants of the people resisted stubbornly and finally decided to focus on self-protection and wait for the opportunity.
As a result of the Burmese compromise, the National Army was able to remain in Burma, but this demand has not yet been answered. And Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Taiwan, was ecstatic when he heard the news of the revival of the troops.
After two years of hard work, this Yunnan rescue team from Taiwan became independent under the control of Myanmar. Although ** tried to encircle and suppress them, they were all defeated by the national army.
In 1960, the Sino-Burmese border issue was resolved, and the dispute between the two countries was satisfactorily resolved.
In May 1959, ** issued a warning to the remnants of the Kuomintang and issued instructions to Huang Kecheng, then chief of the General Staff. ** The Military Commission also sent personnel to Yunnan to make arrangements, and at the same time formulated an emergency plan for this team.
It can be said that ** is visionary. In late July 1960, China and Burma held a meeting in the Burmese capital on the issue of border demarcation.
At this meeting, Myanmar** made it clear that due to various reasons, New China** agreed to cooperate with the official Myanmar army to jointly fight the organization.
This campaign is very important for our country and Myanmar and for the cooperation between the two sides, as it not only helps to solve the common problems of both sides, but also helps to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries.
In November 1960, joint representatives of the ** Military Commission and the Yunnan Military Region held a meeting with the Burmese army and signed an agreement making it clear that they would work together to fight the remnants of the Kuomintang.
This agreement has further strengthened the cooperative relationship between China and Myanmar and jointly maintained regional peace and stability.
The Kunming Military Region launched the operation plan, with the goal of raiding 16 strongholds of the remnants of the Kuomintang army in Burma. **and*** attached great importance to this operation, not only concerned about the feasibility of the combat plan, but also very concerned about another issue.
In order to reduce the impact of the troop dispatch, ** and *** finally made a decision to take the 20 kilometers in Myanmar as the bottom line as stipulated in the agreement, and the China-Burma operation was also carried out on this basis.
After a well-planned plan, the battle finally began in earnest.
On November 21, 1960, the first phase of the Sino-Burmese joint operation was officially launched. That night, 22 commandos of our army were in full swing, most of the remnants of the Kuomintang army were annihilated, and two important generals also fell in the battle.
The Burmese army sent 10,000 troops to attack the Nationalist Army, but unfortunately fell into the trap of the other side and was forced into a narrow area of Mang Lim. The marshal is visiting Myanmar, and Myanmar has no choice but to ask for help, hoping that our country can cross the line and assist the Burmese army in fighting.
* Report the matter immediately to Beijing.
Two days later, representatives of the Burmese army arrived at the headquarters of our army in Burma by plane and made another request. The Chief of the General Staff put forward his views when he was studying in Beijing whether he should fully cooperate.
At the same time, three days later, the second phase of the Sino-Burmese joint campaign officially began, but this time.
Although our army wasted some time in the position of the primeval mountain forest, which made the number of ** increase compared to the first stage, we quickly adjusted our strategy and launched a resolute pursuit of the national army.
The Nationalist Army, having received the news that our army would continue to advance, was forced to make the decision to retreat.
After this battle, our army successfully defeated more than 700 enemies, destroyed the stronghold of the National Army in Burma for more than ten years, and also assisted Burma in liberating 30,000 square kilometers of land.
With the withdrawal of the enemy, the demarcation of the Sino-Burmese border was resumed. Both sides successfully completed their respective tasks.
