The Kokang Army's successful capture of Lao Cai could be an important turning point in the situation in Myanmar. In fierce battles, the Kokang army overwhelmingly recaptured the territory that once belonged to them. More than 3,700 Burmese soldiers and their families surrendered en masse, setting a record for the largest rout in Myanmar's history and at the same time winning an unprecedented victory for the Kokang Army.
The Kokang Army rose from the jungle and quickly demonstrated its formidable fighting power, catching the Burmese army by surprise. Although the Burmese army sent elite forces to participate in the battle, it was still unable to hold Lao Cai in the end, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Burmese ** army. The Kokang Army's control of the Lao Cai area is even more worrying for Myanmar** because the Kokang Army does not seem to have any intention of stopping the fighting, further complicating the situation.
The next target of the Kokang Army is Mujie, an important port in Myanmar, and once Mujie is lost, it will directly affect the financial support of the Myanmar ** army, which will then cause the problem of army stability. The Kokang Army's resounding victory in Lao Cai is not just a personal success, but could also be a victory for the local armed forces in Myanmar and bring about important changes in the situation in Myanmar as a whole.
The Kokang Army's victory has set off a ripple effect, with local militants fighting across Myanmar in an attempt to seize more territory. The Wa coalition army dispatched 50,000 elite troops to attack the Burmese army, and the victory of the Kokang army stimulated the Wa state's enthusiasm for fighting. The Wa Confederate coalition forces quickly captured Huban and Dangyang, showing a stronger fighting capability than the Kokang army. The Kokang Army's victory became an opportunity for the Wa Confederate forces to launch more offensives and further expand their control.
While the Kokang Army won the victory, other local armed forces such as De'ang, the Kochin Independence Army, and the local armed forces of Kayin State also launched attacks on the Tatmadaw strongholds. Although these armed forces did not have the strength to seize important areas, they gradually expanded their influence by frequently harassing Tatmadaw strongholds. The Burmese army** has been attacked in various places and is facing unprecedented difficulties.
The crisis of the Tatmadaw was further exacerbated by the artillery shelling of the Tatmadaw Command. Inside Myanmar, the People's Defence Forces (YPF) and local forces launched an attack on the town of Mon Mi, taking advantage of the low morale of the Tatmadaw to engage in fierce fighting. The artillery shelling of the People's Protection Forces was directed at the headquarters of the Tatmadaw Army, which had a huge impact on the Tatmadaw Army and made the security situation of the Army even more severe.
While the Burmese army** has been attacked in various places, logistics bases and supply lines have also been frequently destroyed. The Burmese army's headquarters were attacked one after another, forcing them to disperse their forces, and encountering difficulties in logistical transportation and supplies. The Northwest Military Region Command was even attacked by drone bombs, with facilities damaged and personnel **.
In this battle, the surrender of the Burmese army has intensified, and high-ranking officers have chosen to surrender or be killed, showing the fragility of the Burmese army. Faced with the embattled predicament, the Burmese army's will to resist gradually faded. The 55th Division commando team led by Brigadier General Thonthon Myint chose to surrender after running out of food under the siege of the Kokang Army, showing signs of the collapse of the Burmese army.
At this time, the Myanmar army urgently needs to stabilize the domestic situation and win more support. However, the fighting intensified across the country, and the plight of the ** army deepened. Min Aung Cha** is facing an unprecedented crisis, and may be on the verge of a major rout. At this juncture, who can help Min Aung Choi ** stabilize the domestic situation has become an urgent issue facing Myanmar**.
