Chapter 405: Take the initiative to surrender

Just when the Lijian Kingdom was rubbing fists with its allies and dispatching troops, the Black Dragon Army took the initiative to attack.

On 20 September, several high-ranking officers of the Burmese government army, led by more than 20,000 officers and men in formation, suddenly announced that they had taken the initiative to surrender to the Black Dragon Army, and drove into the capital of Burma, where they exchanged fire with some of the guards.

Within three hours of the incident, an air assault regiment successfully landed in the inner capital, took control of various key positions, and most of the important members of the Burmese government were captured.

The top head of the junta was inspecting the troops on the defensive line at the time, and he was not in the inner capital, and he narrowly escaped.

The world's top leaders were very confused by the occurrence of this rebellion, and in order to defeat the Black Dragon Army, Li Jianguo risked the great risk of being attacked by mysterious underwater submarines, and sent two aircraft carrier battle groups to Southeast Asia again.

Reinforcements from more than a dozen allied countries are about to enter Burma, with a total strength of more than 36,000, plus more than 300,000 troops controlled by the Burmese government.

On the side of the Black Dragon Army, the number of regular troops is only in the early 10,000s, and there are no allies on the surface.

Although Xinhua did not blockade the Black Dragon Army in economic exchanges, it also did not have substantive support in military affairs, including politics and diplomacy, and the Black Dragon Army was completely alone, and it was clear who had the upper hand on the scales of war.

In such a clear situation, there are still several high-ranking military officers, including several ministerial-level government officials, who have thrown themselves into the Black Dragon Army?

Many observers are trying to figure out whether these military and political dignitaries are in their heads.

Knowing it's hell, you still want to jump down?

Only those who know the inside know some of the truth. As early as the establishment of the Black Dragon Army. Intelligence agencies began to infiltrate the military and political circles of Burma. In secret, there are many powerful figures, but the Black Dragon Army did not start until the arrival of this crisis.

The high-ranking officers betrayed the government army and surrendered to the Black Dragon Army, but the officers and soldiers in the middle and lower ranks did not have much resistance.

Since the Black Dragons took power in the northern part of Myanmar a year ago, the changes that have taken place in all aspects are obvious to all, and the rapid economic development has attracted many people from other regions to seek opportunities.

Among the officers and soldiers who surrendered to Cheng were many relatives. Earning a living in the occupied area of the Black Dragon Army, I heard that the treatment is excellent, and many people have made a fortune.

After the release of the Jaga government's new policy, the people's livelihood and welfare are comparable to those of developed countries in Europe, which makes people in other regions red-eyed with envy.

You must know that Myanmar is one of the poorest countries in the world due to frequent wars and ethnic contradictions, as well as the influence of historical reasons such as dictatorship, planned economy, and self-isolation. Many people at the bottom have not even solved the problem of food and clothing.

For the lower-level officers and soldiers of the government army, compared to the Black Dragon Army. Emotionally, they hate the so-called "coalition army" led by the country of Lijian.

Everyone is not stupid, although the top of the Black Dragon Army is mostly Chinese, but the main body is Burmese, no matter how it is counted, they are all "their own people", if the Black Dragon Army achieves the final victory, maybe Myanmar will usher in earth-shaking beautiful changes.

If the coalition wins, what will happen to Burma?

Just look at the weak countries that have been attacked and occupied by Western armies.

It is precisely for this reason that the process of the Black Dragon Army's occupation of Neidu was very smooth, and the resistance of the vast majority of people was not fierce.

After more than 20,000 government officers and soldiers surrendered, the Black Dragon Army immediately carried out a preliminary reorganization of the coalition army before it was assembled, plus the reserve and some prisoners who had been previously recruited, the total strength of the Black Dragon Army exceeded 43,000.

Because a new war is about to begin, the original establishment of these officers and men has not changed much, but they have only been equipped with some advanced weapons and equipment in order to form an effective command system that can play a role on the battlefield in the future.

……

More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the former government took the initiative to surrender, the Black Dragon Army occupied the capital of Burma, and the coalition forces of more than ten countries were about to launch a siege.

For example, he met with some military and political dignitaries who were about to enter the core of the Black Dragon Army, including the generals and senior officials of the former government army who surrendered to Chengcheng, and held a ceremony for awarding senior officers.

Ye Guang has an extra star on his shoulder, and he is already with the rank of lieutenant general.

It turned out that Ye Quan considered that the Black Dragon Army was too small and had always been low in rank, so he couldn't be in an army of less than 10,000 people, so he would just leave the general.

But among the senior officers who surrendered this time, there is a lieutenant general and three major generals, even if they want to be demoted to one level in the Black Dragon Army, in order to have equal status, Ye Guang, the commander-in-chief, must also be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.

The main general has been promoted, and the original officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Army will also benefit, basically all of them have been promoted by one level, either by rank or position.

Zhou Jianping, chief of the General Staff, and Zhong Yiguo, who was in charge of intelligence and logistics, were promoted to major generals.

The rank of brigadier general was conferred on the commander of the air force and the commander of the reserves, and the other five main regiments were not expanded for the time being, but they have been reorganized into brigades, and the five brigade commanders are also of the rank of brigadier general.

The former government army officers were demoted to one major general, three brigadier generals and seven colonels.

After the award ceremony, Ye Guang personally led the team to visit a new weapon testing base of the Black Dragon Army with more than a dozen generals and colonel-level officers who had just entered the core layer and had access to secrets.

The new weapons of the Black Dragon Army seem to be emerging in an endless stream, like a deep pool that can never be touched, and this time in the face of the powerful offensive about to be launched by the coalition forces, several new weapons have been launched.

For example, an intelligent individual grenade that can sense the enemy's infrared signature and automatically track it; For example, an all-terrain unmanned combat vehicle with amazing firepower and long-distance remote control; For example, the intelligent self-detonation machine QÌ dog that specializes in dealing with the fire point, etc.; The most high-tech is the small remote-controlled drone known as the "Reaper".

This drone is small, powerful and flexible, but it is very convenient to take off, land and remotely control, and if it is used in large quantities on the battlefield, it is simply an enemy's nightmare!

At the test site, remotely controlled by a fighter, the Reaper drone launched an attack on a highly defended position, with bullets and rockets falling from the sky, sparks flying everywhere and the ground flying.

In just a few seconds, several solid firing points on the position and dozens of "fighters" hiding in the trenches were completely destroyed.

The scene was so brilliant and cruel that the generals and officers who witnessed it at the scene were stunned and filled with emotion.

This is the real non-contact war!

This is the only way to achieve truly "zero casualties"!

The officers of the former government army in the team were secretly glad in their hearts, fortunately they had surrendered and did not have to face these "Grim Reapers".

With such advanced weapons and equipment, the Black Dragon Army has enough ability to defend its existing territory even if it cannot win on the battlefield in the future.

The reason is very simple: it is impossible for the coalition forces to bear heavy casualties, especially Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and other countries that have no direct interests in Burma, once the sending troops suffer heavy casualties, they will inevitably attract strong opposition from the domestic people, and then the heads of state of these countries will have to face the difficult choice of currying favor with the country or the domestic voters.
