: Expanding the Army

“Big shot?” In the Jingdong Red Police Sub-base, Wang Yao had already received the information sent back by ‘Zhao Yanlun’ from Laza.

Chen Lin, who was beside him, said: “When we were collecting intelligence on the armed forces of separatist warlords in various parts of Myanmar, we noticed that someone had revealed on the Internet that there were mysterious forces behind the Kachin Army, but we just didn’t know it. Is it a historical issue left over from India or England’s colonial period?”

Wang Yao looked at the information on the Kachin Army and groped his chin.

The Kachin Army was split from the United Army of Burma, but the Kachin Army itself also had big problems. The three early leaders, the three brothers Zao Dan, had a struggle for power, and three of them died one after another at the hands of their own people. .

Later, Lang Sen, who came to power, died of illness and Zaodu was appointed commander-in-chief. However, Zaodu’s appointment aroused Enmai’s dissatisfaction.

Enmai led his cronies to launch a military coup, placed Zaodu under house arrest, and became the current commander-in-chief of the Kachin Army.

The area controlled by the Kachin Army is only more than 300 square kilometers, but it is divided into twelve counties, spread across Kachin State, bordering Tianzhu Assam to the west and Longguo Yunnan Province to the east.

The total population of the areas controlled by the Kachin Army is less than 200,000, but the army has more than 15,000 people and five mountain infantry brigades.

Their relationship with the Burmese government has sometimes been reconciled, and sometimes armed conflicts. The main reason is not only the serious power struggle within the Kachin Army, but also the serious power struggle within the Burmese government. Once a power struggle breaks out between the two parties, the new leader who comes to power will Overturn the previous agreement with the other party and start a new war.

Then after a few fights, he signed the agreement.

“It seems that the Burmese coalition government and the United Defense Force are not just a combination of Burmese civil servants and opposition forces. There must be other forces involved behind this.” Wang Yao put down the intelligence in his hand and asked the red police spies responsible for commanding them. Wang Nian said: “Give Zhao Yanlun an order to continue to penetrate into the Myanmar coalition government. It is best to find out the supporters behind them.”

“Yes!” The bald Wangnian stood at attention and saluted.

Later, Wang Yao asked Chen Lin: “How is the occupation situation in northern Wa State?”

Two days ago, Wang Yao’s Red Police spies disguised themselves as Zhao Yanlun, who was captured by them, infiltrated into the remnants of the Wa State Army, got close to Bao Chunlai, and successfully assassinated him.

This triggered a chain reaction. When the guards and soldiers around Bao Chunlai saw that Bao Chunlai was dead, they all defected to the army. Then they turned around and arrested the last senior general of the Wa State Army, staff officer Bao Jiaqiang.

The remnants of the United Wa State Army, which lost its command, also officially disintegrated.

“The Second Infantry Brigade has entered Mengmao County, and the Third Infantry Brigade has entered Mengbo County. At present, most of the remaining Wa State Army forces in the two counties have laid down their weapons and surrendered, and a small number have fled deeper into the virgin forest. This Some people initially estimate that there are about 300 to 1,000 people.”

“After the Battle of Northern Wa State, we captured more than 35,000 Wa State Army soldiers. The largest general among them is Sun Dan, commander of the 417th Division of the Wa State Army. What should we do with these mid-level and senior generals?”

The Wa State Army mobilized more than 15,000 militiamen and 35,000 regular troops. A total of more than 50,000 people participated in this battle, accounting for 15% of the total population of the Wa State.

There are so many young workers who are very good soldiers.

Most of these Wa State Army soldiers can speak some Chinese. There are also many Chinese in the army, and there are more mixed-race people. They are all good soldiers for Wang Yao’s expanded army.

“Let the Interim Judicial Committee interrogate officers above the company commander of the Wa State Army. If anyone has committed a crime, he will be dealt with strictly, and that Sun Dan is no exception.” Wang Yao did not want to keep these Wa State Army officers. But it’s impossible to just let them go.

“The remaining soldiers and prisoners will be transported to Jingdong for training and reorganization. It’s time for my troops to expand.”

After defeating the United Wa State Army, the entire Eastern Shan State came under Wang Yao’s rule, and all east of the Nu River was his territory.

To the west of the Nu River is the territory of the Northern Shan State Army, Southern Shan State, and the Myanmar government army.

Although we do not plan to start a full-scale war with the Myanmar government forces, we can first clean up the two separatist armed forces, the Northern Shan State Army and the Southern Shan State Army, and open up the passage to the central region of Myanmar to prepare for the attack on the Myanmar government forces. .

Wang Yao currently has three light infantry brigades, six guard brigades, one armored company, three artillery battalions, one guard battalion, and one air force brigade, with a total strength of 38,000 people, of which 20,000 are direct descendants of the Red Police. The militia guard consists of eighteen thousand people.

For this army expansion, Wang Yao ordered Chen Lin to lead the staff to conduct detailed planning for all troops and sort out a series of troops suitable for operations in Myanmar’s complex terrain environment.

In terms of infantry, three soldiers form a combat group, and three combat groups plus a machine gun group form an infantry squad. They are equipped with ten assault rifles, one M249 light machine gun, one M24 sniper rifle, and two grenade launchers;

Battalion-level troops are the main force in the field and adopt a composite organization.

A combined combat battalion consists of: three infantry companies, one armor company, one artillery company, one support company, and one logistics support company, a total of seven companies. Except for the infantry company, which has a full strength of 200 people, the other support companies have 120 people. -The scale of 150 people, the total strength of a combined battalion is 1,200 people.

The armored company under the synthetic battalion is equipped with 27 multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles, and the artillery company is equipped with three 70mm rocket launchers, three 120mm mortars, and three 155mm howitzers.

Such a combined battalion is suitable for combat missions and garrison missions in most areas.
