I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Bao Jiaxiang of Wa State

The Special Service Airborne Brigade is a new force established by the Myanmar military in recent years. It has only about 5,000 personnel, but the training level of the Myanmar army is only about that. It has been three or four years since this force was established. No actual military missions have been carried out yet.

The reason why Mrauk U, the chief of general staff, did not agree with the dispatch of mobile troops was that the road to the Golden Triangle was difficult and required to cross the sphere of influence of several local armed forces, and it was likely to be harassed and attacked by anti-government guerrillas.

Another bigger reason is that the military does not fully control the situation in Myanmar.

Although many senior civilian government officials, including former President Win Kyi and General Secretary So Myint, were detained by the military during the military coup two years ago, many officials escaped the military coup in advance.

Among them, the remnants of the civilian government, headed by Parliament Speaker Duravathy, are lurking in the dark, trying to persuade some military generals to support them.

Deputy Chief of Staff Wen Junkai has recently been active in northern Myanmar and is likely to join forces with the Kachin Army and other local armed forces.

It can be said that the internal situation in Myanmar is on a very dangerous powder keg, and a large-scale civil war may break out at any time.

Chief of General Staff Mrauk U is not in favor of redeploying too many of the few mobile troops to the Golden Triangle area, because there are few resources there and the population is not as good as the central and southern regions.

The government forces have been fighting warlords in northern Myanmar for decades, but they have not completely eradicated these warlords. Even Khun Sa’s Mongolian and Thai troops still have hundreds of remnant troops active in the Golden Triangle under the leadership of Khun Sa’s fourth son. .

Once too many troops are invested and held back by the Golden Triangle, other anti-junta forces and warlords are likely to attack together.

But one cannot turn a blind eye to Wu Mengtai’s request for help.

After all, Wu Mengtai has been following the Burmese government, or Mindong, for 20 to 30 years. He has been running Jingdong for the Burmese government with great care, and there are still more than 600,000 people under his rule.

If Jingdong is abandoned rashly, other anti-junta forces and warlords will also think that the military government is weak.

Therefore, we have to save it, but we cannot invest too many troops.

So, after some thought, Mindonglai said: “Order the Air Force to send two reconnaissance planes to Jingdong to see the battle situation, and order the Special Service Airborne Brigade to assemble and stand by.”

The war in Jingdong is unknown, and if the opponent really has an air force, he must try his best to gain air superiority before dispatching his special service airborne brigade.

“By the way, order the 99th Infantry Division to assemble towards Taunggyi.” Finally, Min Donglai added.

“Yes!” Miao Wu saluted and replied.

Taunggyi is the capital of Shan State, located 150 kilometers northeast of the capital Naypyitaw. It is an important town that controls the southern plains of Shan State.

While the Myanmar military was responding to the fighting in the Golden Triangle.

Bangkang and Bao Jiaxiang, commander-in-chief of the United Wa State Army, also learned through satellite phones and long-wave radio that Jingdong had been attacked by unknown armed forces.

The United Wa State Army was relatively close to the government forces more than 20 years ago. The United Wa State Army contributed the most to the Mongolian-Thai Army campaign to encircle and suppress Khun Sa, so it was assigned the territory of Khun Sa.

When the relationship between the two parties was at its most ambiguous, Bao Jiaxiang even went to the capital to attend the National Assembly.

However, after the military government came to power two years ago and adopted a tough attitude towards local warlords, it even attacked the Kokang Army and occupied its ally Kokang in the northern part of Wa State. Bao Jiaxiang also became rebellious.

However, due to the strong military strength of the government army, Bao Youxiang has always wanted to reorganize the Northern Myanmar United Front and is actively persuading the remnants of the Mengla Army, Northern Shan State Army, Kachin Defense Army, and Kokang Army.

These forces are all relatively powerful warlord armed forces in Shan State.

The Mengla Army is in the easternmost part of Shan State, separated from the Wa State by a road, and has more than 10,000 troops. The Northern Shan State Army is in the northern part of Shan State, adjacent to the Wa State, with nearly 20,000 troops. The Kachin Defense Force is also in Shan State. In the north, there are more than 2,000 people. Although the Kokang Army has lost its territory, there are still more than 1,000 troops fighting guerrillas in the jungle.

If we can unite these warlords and mobilize the militia, it is possible to form an army of 100,000.

Unfortunately, the Southern Wa State was attacked by a sneak attack. The Wei Tianze brothers were beaten until they were running away with their heads in their hands. They could only huddle in the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, which greatly damaged the strength of the United Wa State Army.

The Northern Wa State Special Administrative Region currently under Bao Jiaxiang’s direct control only has 35,000 troops. If the militia is mobilized, they can barely gather 50,000 troops.

“Commander-in-Chief, I have contacted Brother Wei Tianze and checked. If the information given by Wu Mengtai is correct, the mysterious army that attacked Jingdong City is the same group of people who attacked Wei Tianze. .” Zhao Yanlun, Chief of General Staff of the United Wa State Army, brought the latest intelligence.

“That’s the enemy.” Bao Jiaxiang said coldly, wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Although the Wei Tianze brothers were sometimes disobedient, they were still his subordinates. Attacking the Southern Wa Special Administrative Region was an enemy of the entire United Wa State Army. Bao Jiaxiang was also full of hostility towards this mysterious army that suddenly appeared.

The Golden Triangle is just that big. If that mysterious army takes Jingdong, its next target will definitely be the Mengla Army, which is connected by roads, and then its own United Wa State Army.

No matter what the purpose is, they are destined to be enemies.

Even if the opponent is well-equipped and likely to have the support of a big country, Bao Jiaxiang does not think that the opponent can unify the area under its control so quickly.

Not everyone can gain a foothold in the mountains and forests of the Golden Triangle!

“Order the 417th Division, the 418th Division, and the Guard Regiment to assemble in Dabang Town. Then inform Lin Ming of the Mengla Army and tell him that I am going to Jingdong to see what this army is all about!”

The Northern Wa Special Administrative Region has only four divisions, one guard regiment and one artillery regiment, with a strength of about 35,000 people.

Now Bao Jiaxiang directly mobilized two divisions and a guard regiment, with nearly 20,000 troops.

If we add the 10,000 men from the Mengla Army, this would be an army of 30,000!

“Give me another telegram to the Wei Tianze brothers and ask them to recapture Mengdong and Mengsa!” Of course, Bao Jiaxiang did not forget the Wei Tianze brothers who were driven into the mountains and forests.

After all, the Wei Tianze brothers still have more than 10,000 men in their hands. That army is attacking Jingdong, and the troops in the rear must be empty. If Wei Tianze cannot seize the opportunity at this time, he may as well die.
