After more than 70 days of fierce fighting, the Burmese ** Army surrendered without a fight in the last two strongholds of Kokang, and the "Three Brothers Alliance" won a complete victory in the first phase of the Northern Burma Campaign.
On January 5, Brigadier General Thon Thon Myint, the acting chairman of the Lao Cai Autonomous Region in Myanmar, formally signed an agreement to evacuate Mixiangou and Nantianmen. Six brigadier generals and three colonels surrendered to the "Three Brothers Alliance" consisting of the Kokang Alliance, the De'ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army, along with the Burmese army stationed in Lao Cai, as well as a large number of militia groups in northern Burma.
The Allied Army accepted the surrender of a total of 3,724 members of the Burmese ** Army and their families, including 2,123 officers and soldiers and 1,601 family members of the army, and captured 79 pistols of various types, 1,964 rifles of various types of rifles, dozens of artillery pieces, 139 motorcycles, 120 small cars of various types, and 42 large vehicles of various types.
Subsequently, the Allied forces also issued pensions ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 yuan per person, and found more than 10 large trucks to send the surrendered personnel out of Kokang one after another, which means that after 14 years after the "88 Incident", the Allied forces regained control of Kokang.
What did the "Three Brothers Alliance" rely on to destroy the will to fight of the ** army and make it disarm and surrender? What will happen to Tun Min after surrendering?
On December 26, the Kokang armed forces successfully regained the stronghold of Kokang Reservoir, and under the siege of the allied forces, Thun Thun Min could only withdraw more than 3,000 elite Burmese troops from Lao Cai County, and gathered to the headquarters of Mixiangou, hoping to rely on the terrain of Mixiangou surrounded by mountains on all sides, and hold it in the mountains for a long time.
However, the Allied forces took advantage of the terrain of "surrounded by mountains" to fight a perfect dumpling-making battle, fighting from the periphery and encroaching inward step by step, while controlling the traffic fortresses and cutting off the transportation lines and reinforcement channels of the Burmese army, and the Burmese army could only rely on the 55th Division to send some airdrops, but this was equivalent to nothing.
These thousands of Burmese troops were surrounded and completely turned into turtles in an urn, lacking ammunition and food supplies, and consuming a little less every day. As of the evening of January 4, the Burmese troops in the two places had not eaten for three days, and the soldiers were so hungry that they had no choice but to dig wild vegetables.
What's more, the Burmese army still has thousands of family members with them, and if the problem of eating is not solved, they are not allowed to make trouble with their husbands and blow the wind in their ears? In this way, naturally the war-weariness is very strong, I don't want to fight, and it is pointless to hold on, so why bother to take my wife and children to die together? Why don't you hurry up and surrender to the allies, and immediately have food and drink when you surrender, and you can get money to go home, and you can't act quickly for such a good thing?
So, the ending is very clear, Brigadier General Tun Min, who was once ridiculed by many netizens for "too dark eye circles", led the team out and surrendered, breathing a long sigh of relief, the happiness was overflowing, and even the eye circles looked a lot lighter.
After the surrender, the atmosphere is also very harmonious, a few days ago everyone was still living and dying in your life, and you have to work hard to meet, now take off your military uniform, put down **, sit at a table, drink and talk, smile and enmity, not at all like you have just fought, but like a secret friend who has not seen for many years is not easy to get together.
But after this warm picture spread on the Internet, Min Aung Hlaing was choked enough, defeated the battle, lost his courage, thousands of people surrendered, but several generals were still drinking and eating meat at the farmhouse, pushing cups and changing lamps, this was really unbearable, and as soon as he slapped his head, he immediately issued an arrest warrant.
But the problem is that Tun Min's surrender is also "acting on orders", what kind of crime is it good to be charged? Simple, "disobedience, rebellion, and dereliction of duty". As soon as the 6 brigadier general arrived in Lashio on January 8, he was sent to the prison cell, and Guan Lashio was not at ease, so he sent these 6 people to Naypyidaw with ***, waiting for the autumn to settle accounts.
At this point, Kokang can come to an end, but the war in northern Myanmar shows no signs of stopping.
Lao Cai and Mu Bang have been taken, and in the direction of Sister Mu, the Kokang Alliance Army and the De'ang Army have launched many offensive attempts, and it is a matter of time to take it, and then it is the final goalLashio, the largest city in Shan State in northern Myanmar.
Lashio is an important defense area of the ** army, and there is also a military airfield, which has been used to use the Lashio airfield to send the air force to bomb the area controlled by the Kokang and De'ang coalition forces. For the ** army, it is still acceptable that Kokang is gone, but if Lashio is gone, it will be equivalent to losing a foothold in Northern Shan State, and the Burmese people's 60 years of operation in Shan State will be ruined.
Therefore, once Lashio starts, it will be an unprecedented Armageddon in northern Myanmar!
