The Kokang Allied Army, composed of Han Chinese, was very particular about doing things, and the Burmese army surrendered and started the banquet. The scene of the surrender of the Burmese army in Lao Cai is like a large-scale rural flowing water banquet scene.
As soon as the commander of the Burmese Army, including Ton Thun Myint, commander of the Kokang Regional Command of the Burmese Army, Brigadier General Mochotu, commander of the Kokang Regional Command of the Burmese Army, Brigadier General Ai Kai, commander of the 55th Division, and commanders of the 12th, 14th, and 16th Field Brigades of the Burmese Army, surrendered, they were taken directly to the living room for a banquet.
Judging from the public **, there are still people who come over to toast and tea with the generals of the Burmese army who surrendered. The faces of several Burmese army generals were also very relaxed, with no tension at all, no sense of shame at all. Taking off his military uniform, he couldn't tell that these people were generals at all. After these Burmese generals were taken prisoner, they all talked, laughed, ate and drank.
Seeing this scene, you can really feel that Min Aung Hlaing's army ** may indeed fail. We look at the battlefields of World War II, even the battlefields of the War of Liberation.
Prisoners taken down on the battlefield, especially at the rank of general. Everyone is depressed, and they bow their heads in shame and dare not look at people. Either with an unconvinced face, or with a face like a dead man.
The Burmese army surrendered 6 generals at once, but each happily ate a banquet. It shows that the morale of the Burmese army is no longer good, and even the generals think that surrender doesn't matter, can you still expect those big-headed soldiers to fight with their lives?
In fact, the Mixiangou and Nantianmen Burmese armies have not yet engaged in real battles. The Kokang Allied army near Lao Cai was only 5,000-6,000 men. The Burmese army has more than 2,000 defenders and more than 2,000 people from the telemail militia group, and its strength is not weak at all. There were also fortifications and more artillery.
In a real fight, the Kokang Allied Army paid thousands of people**, but it may not be able to seize the core position of the Burmese Army in Lao Cai. In particular, the Nantianmen fortress area is 2,000 meters above sea level.
However, at the critical moment of the Battle of Lao Cai, none of the six generals of the Burmese army wanted to break through, and none of them committed suicide. In the end, they all happily walked out of their positions and surrendered.
In the country of Burma, the army controls all kinds of money-making industries in the country, and the generals receive a large amount of dividends every year. It can be said that the generals of the Burmese army are the biggest vested interests. And now, even Myanmar's biggest vested interests don't want to sell their lives.
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing's spokesman, Zo Min Thun, also admitted that Lao Cai had been completely lost. At the same time, Zuo Mintun said that there were two main reasons for the defeat of Lao Cai. First of all, there was a lack of ammunition, and the defenders of Lao Cai lacked enough ammunition and supplies to fight on.
Of course, the excuse for every failure is the lack of ammunition. At the same time, Zuo Mintun also revealed the second reason, which may be the real main reason.
In Lao Cai City, more than 1,600 military families did not want their husbands, and their fathers continued to fight. The old street has been without electricity for 2 months, and the water continues to be cut off, and gunfire is fired every day. Surrounded on all sides, all kinds of wives and children of the Burmese army and military families in the city cried every day.
The officers and non-commissioned officers of the Burmese army who have families on the front line have long lost their fighting spirit. Generals, even platoon commanders and non-commissioned officers did not want to fight. Of course, those big-headed soldiers are, it is better not to fight, and they can still save their lives.
Burma is in turmoil, and the Kokang Allied Army wants to expand its armaments at a faster pace. The Three Brothers Alliance, the De'ang National Army did not have any territory at all, and the Kokang Alliance Army only had 1 Hongyan Township, 27 people and 3 guns in the Arakan Army.
But now, the alliance of the three brothers has seized large tracts of land. After 71 days of fighting, starting on October 27, the Kokang Allied Forces captured 210 military bases and strongholds of the Tatmadaw army.
The Arakan Army captured 144 military bases and strongholds of the Tatmadaw Army, and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army captured 69 of the Tatmadaw Army. Occupied more than 10 cities and towns, captured a large number of light and heavy **, artillery and armored vehicles.
The Kokang Allied Forces will need more troops to effectively control the existing areas and to expand their control areas to the entire traditional Kokang area. Why expand the zone of control?
Judging from public information, in the future, the China-Myanmar Railway will be built into the Qingshui River and built to Lashio. The China-Myanmar Highway ** runs from Mujie and Lashio to Nankan. The development of roads, railways, and border trade will bring about great changes in northern Myanmar, and factories, land finance, and tax revenue will be greatly expanded.
We have seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the history of the wars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In times of war, the most important thing is to expand the territory quickly.
In the end, whoever has a large territory, a large population, and a rich economy is the king. In a wave of dividends, whoever is timid and does not eat it will be the king's appetizer in the future. When the opportunity comes, we must resolutely expand the army and expand our territory.
Peng Deren, commander of the Kokang Allied Army, had already warned all the officers and men of the Allied Army that the arrogant army would be defeated, and that the soldiers of the Allied Army should guard against arrogance and rashness and strive for greater victories.
Now, the Burmese army has been scared, and it is time to quickly grab the territory, and Sister Mu and Lashio have not yet got their hands on it!The most urgent task of the Kokang Alliance is to use the captured ammunition to rapidly expand its army.
Take advantage of the historic opportunity of the low morale of the Burmese army to expand the area of control as much as possible and lay the groundwork. Once the Myanmar military reorganizes and reacts, it will be too late.
