: Army expansion

As Mongla County was occupied by the Red Police Corps Air Assault Battalion, the commander-in-chief of the Mongla Army Lin Ming was arrested, the main force of the Mongla Army collapsed, and the Mongla Army that had been entrenched in northern Myanmar for 33 years officially collapsed.

Although there are still some stragglers fighting guerrillas deep in the jungle, some Mongla Army generals including Lin Ming’s son, Mongla Army Marshal Lin Bondang, have absconded.

However, after losing large areas of control such as Mongla County, their personnel, equipment, and supplies have become problems. Only small-scale guerrillas are surviving deep in the Golden Triangle.

And as the Red Police Corps began to clear out the mountainous areas of eastern Shan State, these defeated soldiers could only continue to shrink and eventually fled to Laos.

“Commander, Lin Ming has been arrested, what should we do with him?” Chen Lin reported the latest intelligence to Wang Yao at the Mengsa County military base.

“Temporarily imprison him, and find a time to hold a public trial in Mengla County of “March 13″ to criticize his crimes.” Wang Yao looked at the battle report of Mengla County and wrote lightly.

The Mongla Army has become ineffective. The nearly ten thousand troops have been defeated and collapsed. Now the Red Police Corps is capturing prisoners everywhere in the mountains and forests of Jilong Town and the mountains and forests northeast of Jingdong.

There were more than 5,000 prisoners taken, and most of them could speak Chinese, including many from the Wa, Shan, and Chinese ethnic groups.

“Order Zhao Wenlong to use the main force in Jingdong to deal with the Wa State Army, and prepare to concentrate his forces to attack Dabang Town and Mengyang Township in the Wa State. Then give orders to the air force to start attacking important towns and cities in the Wa State. Military strongholds were bombed with air strikes.”

The Mongla Army collapsed and disintegrated, and now only one warlord armed force, the Wa State Army, remains in Eastern Shan State.

There are four counties under the Wa State Special Administrative Region, with a controlled area of 18,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 400,000.

Except for the capital Bangkang, the other counties are not large in size and look like small towns compared with Longguo.

Moreover, the main force of the Wa State Army of 20,000 people was defeated by the Red Police Corps in the Battle of Jingdong, and more than half of them were lost. If Bao Jiaxiang hadn’t cut off his tail to survive, these 20,000 people might have been carried in the jungle northwest of Jingdong.

“Preliminary estimates show that there are still about 25,000 Wa State troops left. However, according to intelligence received from spies from the Wa State, the Wa State has begun war mobilization, and various militia units have begun to assemble towards Bangkang.” The two arrived. In front of the map, Chen Lin made detailed marks on the map.

Bangkang is in the central part of Wa State. The closest county to the army-controlled area in the southern part of Wa State is Jingnan County, and the other two counties are in the north.

In this Jingdong battle, Bao Jiaxiang dispatched two infantry divisions and a guard regiment with 20,000 troops. This was because Bao Jiaxiang could only gather so many troops in a short period of time. This was also because there was a division and a guard regiment in Bangkang. .

The two northern Wa divisions had only now reached Bangkang.

Regarding the battle against the Wa State Army, Chen Lin gave the opinion of the staff: “All the people of the Wa State are soldiers. If they are given enough time, at least 10,000 to 20,000 militia troops can be mobilized. As long as these people launch With just one gun, you can fight guerrillas in the jungle, so the best way is to directly occupy the four counties in Wa State and then clean up the remaining guerrillas.”

Wang Yao lay on the map and looked solemnly at the geographical environment of Wa State.

The entire Wa State is basically a mountainous area. There is no decent road, all are dirt roads, and the jungle is dense, which is very suitable for jungle guerrilla operations.

There is the most direct example of this situation.

Two years ago, after the Burmese army entered the Kokang area and occupied Kokang in the name of anti-drugs, the remnants of the Kokang army have been active in the jungle and fought guerrilla warfare for two years. Even now, they still have to come out to sneak attack the Burmese army from time to time.

It is conceivable that once the Red Police Corps invades the area controlled by the Wa State Army, it will inevitably be harassed by guerrilla warfare.

Therefore, the key to this battle is to occupy the four counties of Wa State as quickly as possible and force the Wa State Army to engage in a decisive battle.

If the Wa State Army voluntarily abandons the county towns and escapes into the jungle to fight guerrilla warfare, then the Red Police Corps will expand outward based on the four county towns in the Wa State, occupying the towns and villages in the mountains and forests one by one, and gradually complete the control of the Wa State. Occupation of Bonn District.

Under such blockade and siege, the Wa State Army will receive less and less manpower supplements, as well as less and less food and material supplies.

The Red Police Corps has air superiority. Once a village, town or stockade is attacked by the Wa guerrillas, it can provide support in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, as long as the villages, towns and stockades in various places are defended, the Wa State Army’s guerrilla warfare will only weaken once and for all, until it can no longer hold up and disappears.

In addition, Wang Yao could transform and reorganize captured Wa State Army soldiers into new militia guards, and send these locals to garrison various villages, towns, and villages, fight anti-guerrilla warfare against the Wa State Army, and persuade those Wa State Army guerrillas. Lay down their weapons and surrender, further weakening the Wa guerrillas by 0.

Therefore, Wang Yao integrated Jingdong’s troops.

The first artillery company will be expanded into two artillery battalions, and based on the five red police infantry battalions, the second infantry brigade and the third infantry brigade of the red police corps will be expanded.

Both units are organized as light infantry brigades, and will need to be supplemented by an infantry battalion and several support battalions. After the reorganization is completed, the two infantry brigades will have a strength of 8,000 people.

The gap here is half. Fortunately, the construction of the second branch base in Mengsa County has been initially completed. The daily production of red police infantry has also increased to about a thousand. It only takes a few days to complete the four thousand soldiers. Fill the gap.

In addition, the militia and guard forces in the Jingdong area have also been expanded to form the militia and guard corps: the 3rd Guard Brigade, the 4th Guard Brigade, the 5th Guard Brigade, and the 6th Guard Brigade. Each brigade has 3,000 troops, and the total strength has been expanded to 10,000 taels. Thousands of people.

The vacancies will be made up of Chinese and Chinese-speaking young people selected from captured Burma Army soldiers and Mongla Army soldiers.

At this stage, Wang Yao still has a large shortage of weapons and equipment. The weapons and equipment produced by the Red Police Base are given priority to the main force of the Red Police Corps, while the militia and guard forces continue to use the captured weapons and equipment.

Moreover, the militia guard force has no support troops and is almost pure light infantry. The heavy weapons equipped are only some captured heavy machine guns and light mortars, armed pickup trucks and off-road vehicles.

The combat effectiveness of such a unit is relatively weak, but with the Red Police soldiers as the backbone of 2.5 non-commissioned officers, it is enough to deal with the warlords and drug lords in the Golden Triangle.

Wang Yao planned to carry out another major reorganization after defeating the Wa State, and reorganize the organization and troop structure of the main force and militia guards in detail.

And provide education and training to the militia guards to improve their combat effectiveness.

At this stage.

Fight first!

After a short temporary reorganization, Wang Yao ordered the newly appointed second brigade commander Zhao Wenlong and the third brigade commander Sun Hao to divide their troops into two groups, each leading a red police infantry brigade and two guard brigades, totaling 20,000 troops to attack the Wa State. The army’s ruled area launched an attack!

At the same time, Wang Yao ordered Jingdong TV station to repair its communication equipment and announced that the army had occupied most of the eastern Shan State and implemented military control.

Officially announce the existence of the legion to the world! .
