Chapter 440 It's hard to ride a tiger
Among them, the first division of the army, which was reconstructed and expanded from the original garrison division, with a strength of 30,000, garrisoned in the capital Salween District, and Long Zheng personally served as the division commander; The Second Division of the Army, reconstructed and expanded from another part of the original garrison division, with a strength of 30,000, garrisoned in the Rock Kingdom, and Jenny served as the division commander; The 3rd Division of the Army, which was reconstructed and expanded from the 1st Burmese Surrender Army, the 1st Kayah State Republican Army, the 1st Kayin State Republican Army, and the 1st Mon State Republican Army, with 30,000 troops, was stationed in Myitkyina, the capital of the Republic of Kachin State, with a Shan serving as the division commander; The Fourth Division of the Army, which was reconstructed and expanded from the 1st Burma Surrender Army, the 1st Wa State Republican Army, the 1st Huabang Republican Army, the 1st Shan State Republican Army, and the 1st Kayah State Republican Army, with 30,000 troops, garrisoned in the important town of the Republic of Kachin State, Bamo, with a Mon serving as the division commander; The 5th Division of the Army, formed and expanded with 1 Burma Surrender Army, 1 Burma Surrender Army, 1 Kachin State Republican Army, 1 Kayah State Republican Army, 1 Kayin State Republican Army, and 1 Mon State Republican Army, with 30,000 troops, garrisoned in Taunggyi, the capital of the Republic of Shan State, with a Karen ethnic serving as the division commander; The 6th Division of the Army was reconstructed and expanded from the 1st Kachin State Republican Army, the 1st Wa State Republican Army, the 1st Huabang Republican Army, the 1st Shan State Republican Army, the Kayah State Republican Army, and the 1st Kayin State Republican Army, with a strength of 30,000 troops.

With Long Zheng's order, the number of Burmese soldiers who volunteered to participate in the Indo-Burmese War soon exceeded 30,000, which made the top echelons of the National Defense Forces, including Long Zheng, frightened. It is easier to please God than to send God, and now that he has the opportunity to send them away, at least it is also the opportunity to distinguish these Burmese officers and soldiers, Long Zheng decisively formed a Burmese division again and went to the Indo-Burmese battlefield.
With the last Burmese soldier joining the Burmese division and going to the Indo-Burma battlefield, a total of 50,000 Burmese officers and soldiers volunteered to go to the Indo-Burma battlefield, and the Salween Army quickly shrank to 130,000, although the corresponding number of Burmese officers and soldiers remaining in the Wehrmath Army also fell to 40,000. These 40,000 Burmese officers and soldiers either have family members and relatives in Salween, or have no sense of belonging to Burma, or regard themselves as nationals of the Salween Federation, or are simply cowardly and afraid of death. In any case, Long Zheng knew that the 40,000 Burmese officers and soldiers left behind had no possibility of rebellion.
In the name of the Burmese Volunteer Army, Long Zheng reorganized 50,000 Burmese officers and soldiers into two divisions.
50,000 Burmese officers and soldiers were thrown into the Indo-Burmese battlefield with advanced weapons provided by Long Zheng, and the Indian army, which was caught off guard, was suddenly defeated. After successive defeats, the Indian army was forced to withdraw from the coastal state of Rakhine and hold on to Chin State with all its might.

Avoid a head-on decisive battle between the main forces of the two armies, and turn the Indo-Burmese war into a flesh mill-style war of attrition. After successive defeats, the Indian military did not increase its troops again, and still maintained 500,000 troops, but quickly replenished the lost soldiers, weapons, equipment, and ammunition.
The total strength of the Indian Army is only 1 million, of which 500,000 troops must stay on the India-Pakistan border to guard against the Indo-Pakistani war that may break out at any time.
India has always regarded the expansion of its military strength as an important symbol of striving to become a world-class power, and has always been committed to dominating South Asia and directly controlling the Indian Ocean.
With the complete destruction of the navy, India's goal of direct control of the Indian Ocean will not be possible for 30 years, so the domination of the South Asian subcontinent by the army has become a goal that India has to accomplish.
The joint fleet formed by the Seven-Nation Alliance has been cruising in the territorial waters of Burma, and India has recognized the reality that India cannot swallow Rakhine State in any way, and the only way to do this is to go all out and occupy the entire territory of Chin State.
For India now, the territory of Chin State is no longer important, and India must defeat the Burmese army and swear its military supremacy in the South Asian subcontinent.
Therefore, even if it is difficult to ride a tiger at home, the Indian army must defeat the Burmese army and occupy the entire territory of Chin State in Burma.
Once the war against Myanmar is lost, the Indian domestic resentment is bound to boil, coupled with the annihilation of the Indian Navy built by the whole country, at that time, the backlog of various contradictions in India will erupt in a concentrated manner, that is, the disintegration of the Indian Union, and it is not surprising to the outside world.
According to the previous verbal agreement between Myanmar and the Seven-Nation Alliance, Myanmar gave up Chin State and held on to Rakhine State with all its might, and now that this goal has been achieved, Myanmar should seek the opportunity to sign an armistice agreement with India, and 50,000 Burmese volunteers can withdraw to Salween.
It is a pity that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and the Burma has won the hope of long, not only did not seek an armistice agreement, but instead launched a large-scale counterattack into the territory of Chin State, vainly trying to gather 200,000 troops and then entrap the 50,000 Burmese volunteers supported by Long Zheng, a total of 250,000 troops to completely drive 500,000 Indian troops out of the territory of Chin State.
Because of Burma's insistence, 50,000 Burmese volunteers remained on the battlefield in India and Burma to help the Burmese side.
There are only 400,000 people in Chin State where the two sides are at war, but at this moment, the two sides of the war that uses it as a battlefield have invested 750,000 troops, of which the Indian military has 500,000 troops and the Burmese volunteers have 250,000 troops. For the 400,000 Chin people, whether it is Myanmar or India, they have no sense of belonging, and in their hearts, they want to gain independence even more, and taking a step back, joining the Federal Republic of Salween is also a good choice. It's a pity that the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, and the continuous wars have destroyed their homes, destroyed their economies, and even taken many of their lives, so they hate war and only hope that it will end soon.
Since the large-scale Indo-Burma war has been going on, the number of people in Chin State who have fled the territory of Chin State is as high as 350,000. The towns of Haka, Farran, Tieding, Gambali, Tunshan, Tantland, Madubi and Minda are all deserted areas in Chin State, with only 30,000 people who have lived in the mountains for generations unwilling to leave their homeland and are scattered in the high mountains and dense forests of Chin State.
