I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: The Battle of Taunggyi is over!

Naypyitaw, the current capital of Myanmar, has always been the base camp of the Myanmar military, with elite troops stationed all year round.

Moreover, the terrain where Naypyidaw is located is also very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is located in the Sithang Valley between the Nongben Mountains and the Bago Mountains. This is a narrow strip of land, with Meiktila City in the central plains of Myanmar to the north and Taungoo City to the south.

The Dongfang Shilongben Mountains and the Shan State Plateau have an average altitude of more than 1,400 meters.

Western-style Bago Mountains, after crossing the Bago Mountains, there is another plain.

It is equivalent to writing the word “Chuan” on the Bago Mountains on the plains of central Myanmar.

The Myanmar Army has many military bases in and around Naypyidaw, and there are even many bases deep into the mountains in the Bago Mountains.

After the army captured Taunggyi, the next target must be the central plain of Myanmar and Naypyitaw, the capital of Myanmar, separated by the Nongben Mountains.

Once the army captured Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, it would not only divide the 400,000-strong Myanmar army from the north to the south, but also cause the Myanmar army to lose its base camp that had been in operation for decades.

There are various factories, military schools, military bases and other important buildings of the Myanmar Army here. Without Naypyitaw, the Myanmar Army will lose its logistics production base, and even the most basic ammunition, such as bullets, will lose one round.

It will even directly shake the ruling foundation of the Burmese military government, trigger rebellions in various places, and completely collapse the already precarious Burmese military government.

Mindon Lai, who is at the top of the power of the Myanmar military government, naturally does not want to see such a thing happen.

So for him, Naypyidaw cannot be lost!

Mindon Lai asked Chief of General Staff Mrauk-U to lead the staff officers of the General Staff to formulate a detailed plan for the defense of Naypyitaw.

This includes resisting the offensive of the US Army in the Nongben Mountains. After the loss of the Nongben Mountains, once the Army enters the central plains of Myanmar, troops from various places will block their plans.

And once the army invades Naypyidaw, the Myanmar National Defense Force will have to face a decisive battle!

In addition to the mobilization of 150,000 elite troops into the Xitang Valley to set up defenses, they also guarded the three transportation routes in the Nongben Mountains leading to the central region of Myanmar.

Min Donglai also ordered the National Defense Industry Bureau to take out all weapons and equipment in stock to arm the newly recruited 100,000 militia troops.

These newly recruited 100,000 militia troops were organized into twelve militia divisions and entered various parts of the Xitang Valley to assist regular army troops in deploying defenses and supporting them.

Not only that.

Mindon Lai gave a speech to the Myanmar National Defense Force through the internal radio station of the Myanmar Army, calling on the families of all military personnel to mobilize and take up arms to organize guerrillas to defend their homes and the country.

These family members of the Burmese military are all vested interests of the military. They have school education and communities independent of ordinary people. They are also a considerable force when organized. And most importantly, they are vested interests of the military. Those who are in natural conflict and hostility with the legion are less likely to defect in battle.

When Mindong came to mobilize the Burmese government troops.

The Corps was also cleaning the battlefield at the Battle of Taunggyi.

This battle happened quickly and ended quickly.

After the legion’s air assault battalion raided Nyaungshwe County behind Taunggyi under the airlift of various transport aircraft, and launched a backstab attack on Taunggyi City, there was no suspense in this battle.

After all the troops of the legion were in place and the 30,000 troops in the eastern theater were trapped in the small area of Hebang County, these 30,000 troops were already a turtle in the urn.

What remains is constant bombing and artillery shelling of the Tatmadaw by the Corps’ air and ground artillery units.

In just one day, the remaining tanks, armored vehicles and other armed forces of the Burmese Army’s 3rd Armored Division were destroyed.

After the legion’s ground troops launched the offensive, the resistance they encountered from the Burmese army was very weak.

Under the regiment’s air force bombing and artillery bombardment, these Burmese army defense lines were blown into scattered small areas.

The attacking legion infantry often launches a charge with tanks and armored vehicles, and the Burmese soldiers standing on the opposite side collapse. The Burmese army’s defense line is like half made of paper, broken by a poke.

By the early morning of the fifth day, the soldiers of the Corps had spread all over Hobong County and Taunggyi City, gathering up the remnants of the defeated troops in the Eastern Combat Area (ABCF) of the Burmese Army and capturing prisoners everywhere.

A military vehicle drove along the highway into the barracks on the outskirts of Hebang County.

Xu Qian, the frontline commander of the Legion’s First Route Army, got out of the car and looked at the captive troops on the roadside.

Thousands of prisoners of the Burmese army were captured from various battlefields by legion soldiers. After collecting their weapons and guns, they were escorted by guardsmen and sent row by row to temporary prisoner camps transformed from military camps.

This military camp is the largest military camp of the 88th Motorized Infantry Division of the Myanmar Army in Khobang County.

Under the warm morning light, the large craters blown by the legion’s aerial bombs were still smelling like gunpowder smoke. There were huge craters everywhere inside and outside the military camp, as well as burning weapons that had been turned into broken metal after being bombed. vehicle.

Even the houses in the military camp were bombed, and the legionnaires were organizing the prisoners to fire the burning houses.

At the gate of the camp, a group of legionnaires was registering prisoners, and many weapons of the Burmese army were piled next to them.

These Burmese soldiers had been demoralized. After identifying the officers, these Burmese officers were detained in isolation, which largely prevented the captured officers from inciting the captured soldiers to riot.

At this time, two Red Police soldiers escorted several Burmese army generals to Xu Qian.

“Report to the commander! These are the captured commander and chief of staff of the enemy’s eastern theater!” A red police soldier escorting Xu Qian stood at attention and saluted.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Xu Qian returned a military salute, and then looked at Pakpe, who was wearing only a thin military uniform and looked downcast, and Chief of Staff Bart beside him.

Xu Qian simply wanted to see what his opponent looked like in this Battle of Taunggyi.

But after the actual meeting, Xu Qian was still a little disappointed with Pakepe.

He frowned and waved to his soldiers.

The two Red Police soldiers understood immediately and led Pakpe and the captured Burmese generals towards the prisoner camp.

Pakpe opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end he just sighed and walked silently to the prisoner camp.

This Burmese military camp he personally selected has now become a prisoner camp where he is held.

“Commander, the commander-in-chief ordered us to continue marching westward, and while the support from the central theater of the Burmese army is still on the way, we will launch a surprise attack on the defense line of the Burmese army in the Nongben Mountains.” Chief of Staff Wu Hu brought a military order.

“Well, that’s what I had in mind.” Xu Qian nodded and said, “The 3rd Guard Brigade will stay, the 1st Combined Brigade will attack Naypyitaw, the 1st Guard Brigade will attack Meiktila, and the 2nd Guard Brigade will attack Taungoo.”

As Xu Qian’s order was issued, the army’s 30,000-strong army was directed towards the core of central Myanmar! .
