Chapter 314 314 Take Yangon

Like the Afghan Taliban, the CPMA is equipped with 59D and Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles modeled after the 59D and BMP-1 produced at the base, which are very limited because they are afraid of being suspected. However, their opponent government army is actually even more unbearable, except for some transport vehicles, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other weapons at this time the government army is actually not equipped, so when the KPA tanks and armored vehicles appear in front of the government army, because they have never fought with the armored troops, the government soldiers even panicked and alarmed.

The training of the government army is basically used to fight the guerrillas and the rebels, and they have never conducted similar anti-armor training, because they do not have armored vehicles themselves, and even if they want to practice anti-armor tactics, there is no reference model.

The KPA Independent Armoured Regiment, having penetrated the government center like a chisel, immediately turned to the left and attacked the rear of a government army that was dragging forward in the direction of the Irrawaddy River. The 59D assault was ahead, and the 105mm rifled guns bombarded the already unstable government defense line, and the flesh and blood were unable to fight against the steel torrent in the absence of confidence and morale, although this torrent was a small stream in Qi Yiming's opinion.

Infantry fighting vehicles also dismounted to cover tanks and infantry vehicles, a shock tactic that worked well against the inexperienced Burmese army, which, after heavy blows, retreated again and again until the remnants of their army retreated to the edge of the Irrawaddy River, with no way out.

After seeing that their own troops were being raided, the troops of the other government army on the right side of the front did not dare to act rashly, because if they turned around and went west to help their troops relieve the siege, then their own side would be exposed and they would be severely attacked by the KPA, and now they still have a chance to fight with the KPA by sticking to their own formation. They dug trenches and laid defensive lines, intending to engage the KPA in the style of a war, but their defensive lines had not yet been arranged, and the KPA artillery had already launched a wave of artillery bombardment against them.

The government army has always suffered a loss, and they can show their strength in front of the rebels and guerrillas on weekdays, but they are not familiar with the real frontal battlefield confrontation, they have not experienced the enemy's fighting taste of tanks and armored vehicles, nor have they thought that the enemy can gather hundreds of artillery to bombard them, when Ne Win, Sheng Lun and others think that the Burmese Communist Party is just a group of mud legs, and the government army is the regular army, they do not realize that the real mud legs are themselves.

After a burst of shelling, the government forces in this part of the country were largely disrupted, and the KPA immediately sent a brigade of troops to attack the front. Although there were no armored troops, the momentum of the KPA relying on the attack on foot was really not to be underestimated, and the sparse gunfire of the government army did not pose much threat to the KPA, but when the KPA broke through the government front like a tiger in the mountains, there was almost no decent resistance, and the government army collapsed.

Jiang Zhiming, deputy chief of staff of the People's Army, learned about the situation ahead in the command headquarters, and couldn't help but smack his lips and said: "The government army is too weak, why didn't I feel it before." ”

The Peng family's rich Ha Da Lu said with a smile: "That's because we weren't so strong before!" ”

Immediately, the command broke into laughter, and there was no tension in the face of a life-and-death battle. Not long ago, many people here were preparing to secede from the Communist Party of Burma with strange intentions and become a force to divide themselves, but now with the support of Qi Yiming and the Strategic Bureau, the Communist Party of Myanmar has still transformed into a new and powerful existence, and it is impossible for them to abandon the Communist Party of Burma again.

The independent armored regiment took out a division of the government army, turned its head and then charged to another government army, because of the lack of mobility, and itself was not very proficient in trench warfare, so the armored regiment, with the help of other friendly forces, knocked out three divisions of the government army in a row, and the people's army also found that the resistance of the government army was very weak, often resulting in less than 10% attrition, and the government army was immediately defeated, and a large number of surrendered to the people's army.

Bo Dong, a Red Police soldier sent by Qi Yiming and now the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, made a more bold decision under the favorable situation, leaving three brigades to continue to entangle with the government troops in this area, and the main force went south as fast as possible to conquer Rangoon and complete the most rear-end encirclement and suppression of the government army.

Under such instructions, with the Independent Armoured Regiment as the arrow, and the rest of the troops following by truck, the KPA entered Rangoon six hours later, and they met no resistance during this journey. When the People's Army marched into Yangon, some of the citizens of Yangon, despite martial law, secretly saw them in their windows, and when the pattern of the red star and the sickle and hammer came into view, the people of Yangon were ecstatic, they rushed out and ran into the streets, cheering: "Long live the People's Army, the government army is defeated!" ”

At this time, there were at least 20,000 people in the remnants of the government army stationed in Yangon, and the KPA attacked only a few thousand, but when the whole city was full of cheers and excited crowds, the government soldiers mutinied, they arrested and even shot the junior officers in charge, threw away their weapons and took off their uniforms, maybe they were afraid of being shot by the KPA, maybe they were disgusted to continue to play the opposite role, so when Ne Win was horrified to hear that the KPA had marched into Yangon, And the men and horses he was going to send to fight back stopped listening to his orders.

In a panic, Ne Win put on makeup and prepared to escape from Yangon, but in the end he was a step slower and was recognized by the ecstatic citizens of Yangon, who were arrested and handed over to the People's Army.

At this point, although there were still some remnants of the government army in other places, the main force and the top of the government army had been captured, and the provisional federal government pulled up by the Communist Party of Burma had won the final victory, and from this day on, there was only one legitimate power that could represent the Communist Party of Burma.

The success of the Burmese revolution was not surprising to Qi Yiming, although he did not take out the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit, but he finally invested heavily in the Burmese Communist Party, in addition to nearly 20,000 elite Red Police soldiers, he also sent 30,000 or 40,000 militia recruited by the Red Police base in order to stabilize the situation. These militias are mainly used to maintain law and order in the major cities of Burma, and they can also act as civil servants for the most part, so that the Burmese Communist Party has no control over these areas at all. Since these militias are also the main ethnic groups in Myanmar who have been chosen, they are not afraid to suspect that China is the driving force.

The fact that the Communist Party of Burma is in charge of Myanmar means that Myanmar will be closer to China in the future than in another plane, and this relationship is obviously more stable than that of the other plane. In Qi Yiming's era, the Celestial Empire boasted that it did not point fingers at Burma, and also sold arms and investment, so Myanmar was relatively close to China, but being close to China was essentially interests, and the old saying that snobbish friends cannot last all year round, but only moral friends can be lifelong.

Although pragmatism says that countries can only be close if they have the same interests, they cannot maintain long-term goodwill if they only have interests. Just like China and Burma, after the success of the Saffron Revolution in Myanmar, the pro-Western forces of the United States and Japan came to power, China's interests in Myanmar were immediately greatly challenged, because of the ideological gap, Myanmar began to become a member of the trouble-making group for China, which made many Chinese people very indignant.

Ideological proximity may not be more important than convergence of interests, but it does play an important role. If the two countries belong to the same ideology, then there is a natural closeness. What's more, at this time, Qi Yiming controlled the Communist Party of Burma in disguise, and the Burmese dish was still a little early, and Nanyang had not finished eating, so it was still mainly focused on cultivating pro-China forces and strengthening the management of this place.

In fact, for Myanmar, Qi Yiming did not equate its status with the Nanyang Republic, Nanyang is a watchdog to help the Celestial Empire guard the gate of the South China Sea, and it is also an important part of expanding regional influence and economic interests.

Perhaps Qi Yiming will not deliberately interfere in the change of power in Myanmar after taking control of Ba Dengding for a term of office, he believes that with his hard work in the next ten years, Myanmar can be infiltrated by him like a sieve, and even if it is purely for the sake of national interests, Myanmar will not dare to turn against him. The Red Police soldiers and militia he stationed in Burma will become the seeds of pro-China forces in the future, and will exponentially expand China's influence in Burma.

Naturally, a spiritual beacon tower is also an indispensable thing, Qi Yiming can not take the initiative to control the political situation in Myanmar, but he also has to keep a back hand that can turn the tide.

Qi Yiming did not only focus on the situation in Myanmar during this time, and he also had a lot of work to do at home. In terms of economic problems, he has not been involved in more detailed things, and a group of economic bureaucrats who have been trained and received new education have gradually grown, and these people will be an important part of the future economic development of the country. In the country of the Celestial Empire, the development of a region is often very related to the ability and foresight of the officials themselves, so Qi Yiming believes that although it is important to strengthen the construction of officials' personal ethics, it is more important to cultivate their abilities.

On the military side, he will not take the initiative to intervene, but now he is mainly building his own Red Police Division, which can not only be used as a command, but also more suitable to come in handy if a major war breaks out in the future. On the contrary, the 310th Division of the Blue Army Division supplied by him has developed well, and the hope of cultivating a purely Westernized army has been largely successful, and there are plans to expand a Blue Army division into a Blue Army regiment, that is, a large establishment of 100,000 people in the group army.

However, Qi Yiming was slightly relieved that the military was ready to take over the formation and operation costs of the Blue Army Legion, and there was no need for Qi Yiming to pay for it. In addition, the army has changed its plan to streamline its disarmament plan, and in addition to the Blue Army Corps, it will retain another 65 Army Group, so that the Army will retain a total of 12 Army Group Armies

Qi Yiming can also generally see from this incident that the army is not very satisfied with the fact that it has been cut too drastically. He helped the army order 10 group armies with a total of 1 million people, but the army hoped to increase to 1.2 million, obviously not wanting the balance to be overly tilted in favor of the navy, air force and the second artillery force, and the PLA was still a large army unit after all.
