: Counterattack Plan of the United Government Defense Forces
Mawlamyine City, located in southeastern Myanmar, is the capital of Mon State in Myanmar.
The Salween River, also known as the Nu River, meanders out of the Golden Triangle and merges into the Andaman Sea. The delta plain it creates is not only suitable for the cultivation of food crops, but also makes Mawlamyine the second largest port city in Myanmar.
But at this time, Myanmar’s second largest port city was caught in the flames of war.
As Myanmar fell into a full-scale civil war and rebellion in the southwest war zone, Mawlamyine’s economy was severely damaged. Many goods could not be transported and had to be piled up at the port. More and more workers were unemployed.
Although the military in the south of Myanmar has now reached a reconciliation with the rebels in the southeast theater and united to form the ‘Southern Independent Group Army of the Myanmar United Government Defense Forces’, they now have a more terrifying enemy.
That is the legion that is expanding everywhere!
At the military dock in Mawlamyine, the flagship of the Myanmar Navy fleet, the integrated landing ship Motama with a displacement of up to 15,000 tons, is docked.
and several other main warships of the Myanmar Navy.
Myanmar Navy Commander Mo Aung rode an infantry fighting vehicle and was escorted by an armored convoy to the headquarters of the Southern Independence Group in Mawlamyine.
“Commander Mo.” Those who greeted Mo Ang were the commander of the Southern Independence Group, Lakeby 410, and the deputy commander, Wellen.
Both were former theater commanders of the Myanmar National Defense Forces. Lakeby was the commander of the southeast theater. He led 20,000 troops in the southeast theater to join the Myanmar United Government Defense Force organized by Wen Junkai and Tulawasi, which led to the civil war in Myanmar. A full blown outburst.
The commander of the Southern Theater Command, Wellen, was ordered to lead an army of 60,000 people south to quell the rebellion. The two sides faced off on the Salween River, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
At this time, the army marched westward from eastern Shan State, successively conquered Taunggyi and other places, and arrived at Naypyitaw, the capital of Myanmar.
Waylon was ordered to lead 40,000 mobile troops north to Taungoo Defense Corps from Kayah State into Taungoo to outflank Naypyitaw’s retreat.
As a result, Waylon’s 40,000 elite troops were defeated by more than 10,000 troops in Taungoo, and lost more than 20,000 people. Waylon fled back to the south in panic with less than 20,000 people.
Then they didn’t even want Yangon and Bago provinces, and directly entered Mawlamyine with less than 40,000 promoted troops and joined the coalition government of Myanmar.
“Come on, Commander Mo, let me introduce to you. This is Commander Bo Mye, the commander of the Karen Army.” Lakeby introduced some other senior generals to Mo Aung.
The Southern Independence Group is mainly composed of Kelebi’s Southeast Military District and Wellen’s troops, as well as several thousand people in the overseas coastal theater.
Although the Karen Army, the New Mongolian Army and other ethnic minority armed forces in the southeast region have joined the Myanmar United Government Defense Force, they are independent of the Defense Force and are independent armed forces.
The Karen Army is a minority tribal armed force active in Karen State and Bago Province, with tens of thousands of troops.
The New Meng Army is the armed force of the Mon people, with only two to three thousand people.
There is also the Kayah Army that was attacked by the Legion in Kayah State. The number of 3,000 people is now only about 1,500.
These minority tribal armed forces, which were originally scattered in various places, temporarily united because they had to face the same powerful enemy.
Mo Aung shook hands with these army generals one by one, and then entered the conference room surrounded by everyone.
The conference room was very simple, because after the Legion’s offensive against the Burmese army took a big advantage, the Legion’s air force expanded its bombing targets to other separatist armed forces, including Mawlamyine, which was also bombed several times.
So now the conference room they are in is located in a military underground fortress.
After Mo Ang sat down, he observed several other senior generals.
In the past, the leaders of the armed forces in the separatist areas were not qualified to sit with him. He was a general of the Myanmar Navy!
But now, the Corps has occupied Yangon and Ayeyarwady Provinces. The Myanmar Navy has lost its base camp and seven bases, leaving only six naval bases south of Mawlamyine, and even the navy’s shipyard. .
Mo Aung once sent people to Yangon City to negotiate with the Legion people, hoping that (abcf) could lead the naval fleet to surrender and obtain certain privileges.
But the conditions given by the other party were really unacceptable to Mo Ang.
It happened that at this time, Lakeby sent someone to contact him and invited him to attend the meeting on the southern campaign, so Mo Aung came in person.
This meeting was said to be launching a campaign in the south to combat the arrogance of the Legion. In fact, it was just discussing how to maintain the territory south of the Salween River.
The main force of the Corps has captured Bilin County along Highway 8 along the coast, less than 30 kilometers away from the Karen State Defense Forces defense line.
At the meeting, Lakeby deployed a defensive front, with the Salween River as the main boundary, and deployed defenses on both sides of the Salween River.
With Ruizun County, Waji County, Hpa-an County and Madaban County along the Salween River as the main defense nodes, we will conduct defensive operations against the legion.
At the same time, the Karen Army, the New Mongolian Army, and the Kayah Army crossed the jungle from the Nongben Mountains on the upper reaches of the Salween River to launch guerrilla operations in Bago Province, Kayah State and other places, disrupting the army’s logistics line.
“In addition, we have recruited twenty-seven transport merchant ships. We hope that with the help of the naval fleet, we can transport two brigades and 6,000 troops to Yangon Province, Ayeyarwaddy Province and other places for landing operations!” Lakeby looked at Moang.
Mo Ang made an estimate.
The Southern Independence Group of the United Government Defense Force has about 60,000 people, the Karen Army has tens of thousands of people, the Kayah Army has 1,500 people, and the New Mongolian Army has 3,000 people. This is a total strength of about 75,000 people.
In addition, they are also mobilizing people in Karen State, Mon State, and Tanintharyi Province for war, and have recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers for training.
Although funds are tight, due to the Legion’s crackdown on telecom fraud and drug trade, telecom fraud companies and drug dealers in the southeast region also provided a lot of funds to Lakebi.
These three provinces and states are already in chaos. There are many electronic fraud companies and drug dealers in the mountainous areas bordering the Kingdom of Siam, and these electronic fraud companies and drug dealers are industrial chains supported by local military leaders and minority tribal armed forces.
For example, the famous Myawaddy is a small town on the border between Karen State and the Kingdom of Siam. It has been engaged in telecommunications fraud for many years.
If they were deceived into going to an electronic fraud company in northern Myanmar, the warlords in northern Myanmar would still be wary of the influence of the Dragon Kingdom, and it would not be too much to continue doing business with the Dragon Kingdom. As long as they determine which park the victim is in, there is still a high chance of saving the victim. return.
So in a place like Myawaddy, there is no such thing as “ransom”. Either a few people are tricked into entering, or they are dismantled and sold for their organs and blood.
This place is far away from the Dragon Kingdom and is the border area between Burma and the Kingdom of Siam. A few tribes are separatist and warlords are entrenched, so they are not afraid at all.
Now there is a war, and these fraud companies and drug dealers are also required to hand over more money.
