The People's Army of the Communist Party of Myanmar continues to win on the Irrawaddy Plain, and the government troops led by Ne Win and Sein Lwin are retreating steadily. It seems that everyone in the world believes that the Communist Party of Myanmar will successfully overthrow the Platform Party regime and establish either its own dictatorship or a new federal system. country, but at this time, something happened in the rear of the Burmese Communist Party.
Since the Communist Party of Myanmar took action, the Myanmar military government has no intention of quelling this disaster by relying on its own strength. The military government sent a special envoy to the eastern part of Shan State, which is not controlled by the Communist Party of Myanmar, and found another local separatist leader. , the famous Golden Triangle drug lord, Kunsha.
It is obviously a bit shabby to call Khun Sa just a drug lord. In addition to being a major drug lord, Khun Sa is also a warlord leader on the border of Myanmar and Thailand. In 1922, he unified three Shan armed forces and formed a Mongolian-Thai army with a number of 260,000 people, as well as 20,000 local militiamen under his command.
Of course, it is not just the armed forces. Khun Sa also encourages the cultivation of drugs in his own territory, builds heroin processing and purification plants, smuggles jade, gems, and arms, and levies high protection taxes on local residents. Yu Jing's.
¡°But even the Myanmar government forces hate Khun Sa¡¯s existence, but the biggest enemy of the government forces now is the democratic forces in the Republic of Myanmar. Therefore, the military government sent someone to send a message to Khun Sa, granting him amnesty and promising autonomy and a series of other powers for the places under his control.
Originally, Khun Sa would not take action against his neighbor, the Communist Party of Burma, because of the empty promises made by the Burmese government. However, Khun Sa had just become enemies with the Communist Party of Myanmar not long ago.
After Qi Yiming infiltrated into the Communist Party of Myanmar, he began to suppress drugs in the areas controlled by the Communist Party of Myanmar. All poppy fields were leveled and processing plants were destroyed. But it is not just the Burmese Communist Party itself that is cultivating drugs in this area, but also Khun Sa from the Golden Triangle. The Communist Party of Myanmar sent people to contact Kun Sa and invited him to join the ranks of the Communist Party of Myanmar to counterattack the military government together, which may have given him some benefits. Khun Sa was naturally very moved, but an exchange condition proposed by the Burmese Communist Party made him immediately reject the Burmese Communist Party's invitation.
Because the Burmese Communist Party wants him to ban drugs on his territory
When Yu Shenji first arrived on the territory of the Burmese Communist Party, many members of the Burmese Communist Party rejected his arrival, and were even less willing to stop this business that made money every day. For this reason, Qi Yiming had to let Yu Shenji win over some people. , launched a mutiny to wipe out the drug traffickers. Khun Sa's drug business in the Golden Triangle was much larger than that of the Communist Party of Burma, and his rule was even more brutal. The local residents were severely squeezed. Khun Sa had amassed a lot of wealth. Now the Burmese Communist Party actually asked him not to make this money anymore. Khun Sa naturally couldn't agree.
Because of the arrival of the June 6th Movement, Qi Yiming no longer bothered to deal with the small role of Kun Sa, and directly ordered the Burmese Communist Party to send troops to fight against the government forces. However, the government troops were beaten to the end of their rope. At this time, they could not forget that there was such a scourge hidden behind the Burmese Communist Party.
Khun Sa was initially hesitant when he heard the request from the Burmese military government. The People's Army of the Communist Party of Burma had already begun to show its prowess with Lien Chan and Lienjie, but the government troops had been beaten to death. It was not necessarily a good idea to mess with the government troops. way. But at this time, his adviser Zhang Suquan suggested to him: "Although the Burmese Communist Party is powerful now, it has not had a good reputation in the country for a long time. It is not easy to win political power with one stone. In addition, those who oppose The faction itself is not on the right track with Myanmar, and there is a greater possibility of conflict and entanglement between the two parties. Moreover, if we want to maintain the drug business, we must not join forces with the Communist Party of Myanmar. The military government is the only ally we can choose. It is better to provide help in the snow. If we successfully rescue the military government, our status in Myanmar will definitely be higher in the future."
Khun Sa nodded with approval, rubbed his hands and said: "That's right, and the Burmese Communist Party has suddenly become rich recently. It is said that they now have a lot of property on their territory. If they can seize it to enrich our team, In the future, we may be the ones who force the government to come to Taiwan.¡±
He was excited for a while, then showed some worries and said: "However, the Burmese Communist Party now has more troops and better food, and the outcome of our fight against the Burmese Communist Party is still unclear."
Zhang Suquan encouraged again: "Now the main force of the Burmese Communist Party has gone to Wacheng (Mandalay), but a large amount of their baggage and equipment must still be on their original territory in Shan State. Let's rob them and hide in them." In the mountains and forests, even if the Burmese Communist Party wants to deal with us now, they will not use all their strength, because their main enemy is the military government. In this way, the Burmese Communist Party fights on two fronts, and the situation will be even more worrying. We can fight against the government forces. Discuss slowly eroding the power of the Burmese Communist Party. If we can swallow up the entire Shan State, then establishing a state within a state will no longer be a dream."
Khun Sa was persuaded by Zhang Suquan. Just when the People's Army broke through Tung Dungyi and Yangon was in sight, he launched his main force of more than 10,000 troops to attack the rear areas of the Communist Party of Burma in Shan State. Because of the sudden offensive, the Mongolian-Thailand army captured an important town in the rear base area of ??the Burmese Communist Party and retrieved some of the military supplies placed there by the Burmese Communist Party, including thousands of rifles and a few mortars.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The supplies plundered from the land also made Khun Sa very jealous. There were medicines that were scarce in the dense forest and mountainous areas, as well as military rations that were easy to carry, and a considerable amount of clothing, tents and other items. Khun Sa had no time to think about these things of the Burmese Communist Party. Where did the supplies come from? All I could think about was how to grab more.
Khun Sa not only looted the warehouse supplies of the Burmese Communist Party, but also sent troops to loot local civilians, arousing great public resentment. Many local people were shot dead by the Mongolian and Thai troops, and some women were raped. The atrocities committed in the base areas finally aroused the anger of the Burmese Communist Party.
The B15 brigade of the Communist Party of Myanmar that stayed behind was formed by reorganizing the troops of the 815th Military Region of the Communist Party of Myanmar. Its combat effectiveness is worse than that of the Red Police Brigade with the prefix 6, but it has recently undergone a lot of training and is considered by the senior leaders of the Communist Party of Myanmar to be comparable. war. In addition, the Red Police Base in Lashio also quickly deployed the newly formed 66th Brigade to attack from the southern front and directly attack Kunsha's home base in the Golden Triangle.
At this time, Khun Sa was still immersed in his dream of defeating the Burmese Communist Party and then looting supplies, and finally pushed the Burmese Communist Party flatly and occupied the entire Shan State. He had no idea that the disaster was coming. On the third day after Khun Sa attacked the rear of the Burmese Communist Party, Bao Youxiang, commander of the B15 Brigade, led his troops to intercept Khun Sa's Mongolian and Thai troops near Keng Tung.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the mountainous terrain. Because the Mongolian and Thai troops had previously seized a lot of equipment from the Burmese Communist Party, there was no obvious firepower gap between the two sides. On the contrary, the B15 brigade had only about 3,000 troops, while the Mongolian and Thai troops were in Although there was panic and heavy losses after the first encounter with the enemy, Kun Sa had more troops and sent additional troops six times to attack Bao Youxiang's B15 brigade.
The B15 brigade did not lose at all under the siege of nearly 10,000 enemies. With the help of the Red Police Staff Group, Bao Youxiang continuously used strong terrain to ambush the sloppy Kunsha tribe many times in the mountainous jungle areas. Although Kunsha has many soldiers, he knows nothing about real military science, and his marching operations are not organized at all. In the eyes of the senior staff of the Red Police, there are flaws everywhere.
Seeing this, Kunsha was furious. He gritted his teeth and once again invested thousands of troops in the battle to besiege Bao Youxiang's headquarters. Bao Youxiang led the B15 brigade to fight and move, taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain in this area to lead the guest army Kunsha. Sha's Mongolian and Thai troops began to circle in the Shiwanda Mountain.
Bao Youxiang's department also had a group of military dogs sent from the Red Police Base. When he found that these military dogs were more powerful against infantry than an ordinary soldier, Bao Youxiang released hundreds of military dogs in the jungle, and when he got the opportunity, he would sneak attack on these Mongolian soldiers. The Thai soldiers caused great damage to the Mongolian and Thai troops. More importantly, the man-eating ghosts in the jungle also frightened the Mongolian and Thai troops.
When Kunsha was hesitant about whether to continue fighting or retreat to his home base, he heard a shocking piece of bad news. The Communist Party of Burma sent a force from the southern front all the way over the mountains and invaded his hometown of Ho Mong. Although this group of Burmese Communist People's Army did not burn, kill, and loot like he did on the Burmese Communist territory before, they were equally successful. The 615th Brigade set a fire on the territory of Khun Sa, which burned for several days. The poppy fields on Khun Sa's territory were burned to pieces, and all the drug production facilities in Khun Sa were destroyed. .
When Khun Sa heard the news, his eyes were splitting. He sent Zhang Suquan to intercept, and he led the main force to prepare to return to his home base and defeat the Burmese Communist Party troops. But as soon as he left, Bao Youxiang led the B15 Brigade to launch a large-scale offensive against Zhang Suquan's troops who were behind. Zhang Suquan resisted desperately, but to no avail. Zhang Suquan himself died in the rebel army. The B15 Brigade annihilated nearly a thousand Mongolian and Thai troops. And the front of the army was pointed directly at Kunsha's rear.
At the same time, the 615th Brigade, which had completed the task of destroying Khun Sa's lair, also turned around and headed north into the jungle area. Two troops of the Burmese Communist Party, one from the south and one from the north, trapped the Khun Sa tribe in the mountains, except for some of the supplies that Khun Sa had previously seized. and ammunition, Kun Sa has become a lost dog. Although there are still more than 10,000 men on hand, the morale of the army is shattered, and there may be a possibility of mutiny at any time.
In panic, Khun Sa hoped to reconcile with the Burmese Communist Party and was willing to compensate the Burmese Communist Party for its losses. However, the Burmese Communist Party, which knew that "it is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men", rejected Khun Sa's peace signal. The two troops drove Kun Sa away. After more than a week, Shah's army finally dragged this army into disgrace and launched a decisive battle.
Kun Sa himself committed suicide, most of his troops surrendered, and some others fled deep into the mountains and were difficult to capture for a while.
Although the Khun Sa rebellion caused some troubles to the Communist Party of Myanmar, it did not hinder the main force's decisive battle against the government forces on the Irrawaddy Plain. It also gave the Communist Party of Myanmar the opportunity to completely take control of Shan State. After Khun Sa was eliminated, the entire Shan State no longer had private armed forces and was completely brought under the rule of the Provisional Federal Government.
