Chapter 250: Clearing out local armed forces and clearing obstacles for the establishment of a new government
On the evening of September 1984, 9, the Myitkyina Command held a brief celebration.

Because at this time, Myanmar’s three most important cities (Mandalay, Naypyidaw, and Yangon) and several medium-sized cities on the central plains were completely controlled by the All-China Federation of Liberation Army.

At the same time, most of the middle and high-level officials of the Myanmar government were killed in the wave of ground-to-ground missile attacks in the early morning, which means that the current Myanmar government has perished.

In addition, among the original 12 military regions of the Myanmar government army, 5 of the most advanced military regions have been defeated by the All-China Federation of Liberation Army.

The forces of these five military regions account for 5% of the total forces of the Myanmar government forces, and heavy weapons such as British-made Comet tanks, Type 70 armored vehicles, and heavy artillery imported from the Soviet Union and China are almost all concentrated in these military regions, while the other seven military regions have only a very small number.

After the celebration, it is time to discuss the next steps.

Originally, the first phase of the operation was scheduled for 7 days, but it was completed in less than 2 days and exceeded the target.

After all, the top leaders of the Quanjiezhen had never organized such a large-scale operation before, and those cutting-edge weapons had never been used in large-scale actual combat.

And the Myanmar government forces were suppressing them a few years ago.

Although the military strength of the Quanjie Formation has undergone a complete transformation with the unremitting help of Wang Jiankun in recent years, the fear in their hearts is still difficult to eliminate.

Therefore, we were more conservative when making the plan and reserved more time.

“Commander-in-Chief Peng, will we still be commanding from Myitkyina? Should we move the headquarters forward?” the chief of staff asked at the meeting.

“We should indeed move forward. Transportation here in Myitkyina is still not very convenient, and it is too far from the front line.” Peng Sheng, the military chief of the Quanjie Front, said after thinking about it.

“Then I suggest that we put the headquarters in Mandalay. How about it? It is almost the geographical center of Myanmar and is about the same distance from other places. At the same time, Mandalay is very close to the three local military regions on the Shan Plateau in the east and the two military regions in the Rakhine Mountains in the west.” The chief of staff suggested.

“Everyone, what do you think? How about moving the headquarters to Mandalay?” Peng Sheng did not make a decision immediately. He wanted to hear other people’s opinions, so he asked the senior executives present at the meeting to share their ideas.

“I agree. Most of our troops have already arrived in Mandalay and areas south of it. It is not appropriate for the headquarters to remain in northern Myanmar,” said my uncle Cen Yong.

“I agree. Now that we have taken control of the major cities on the central plains, such as Mandalay, Meiktila, Naypyidaw, Toungoo, and Yangon, we must begin preparations to establish a new Myanmar government.

Of course, because Naypyidaw was just taken over not long ago, the deserters of the former government army and some gangsters have not been eliminated, so we can’t go there immediately, but Mandalay is a more suitable temporary government station.” said U Nu, the chief administrative officer.

“That’s right. Now is the time to establish an interim government. Foreign embassy personnel in Yangon and Naypyidaw have repeatedly approached the garrison to ask questions, hoping to establish a formal dialogue with us and discuss future diplomatic relations. Why don’t we all go to Mandalay and form a new government organization as soon as possible.” The chief of staff also said.

“Jiankun, what’s your suggestion?” Chief Li looked at the scene and asked Wang Jiankun who was attending the meeting to express his opinion.

“Well, I also agree to move the headquarters to Mandalay and immediately start forming a new government organization, end martial law in the territories conquered by the army as soon as possible, establish more effective rule, and simultaneously start large-scale infrastructure construction to ease the survival pressure of people of all ethnic groups in Myanmar.” Wang Jiankun said.

“Well, since everyone agrees with this proposal, we will take action starting tomorrow. Leader Li Sheng will lead the formation of the government, and I will still be in charge of the military command.

It’s getting late, so let’s go to the lounge and take a rest. Tomorrow morning, we won’t have time to rest.”

After Peng Sheng finished speaking, the impromptu meeting ended and everyone left in an orderly manner and went to their respective bedrooms to rest.

At this time, on the roads in the central plains of southern Myanmar and on the Irrawaddy River, there was an endless stream of transport vehicles and ships of the All-China Federation of Liberation Army.

The battles in the first two days were mainly fought by four heavily armored combined brigades.

Now that the military forces of the first five military regions of the former Myanmar government army have been eliminated, it is time to let the two motorized infantry divisions and three light divisions contribute their strength and train their troops.

The troops transported on the transport ships on the Irrawaddy River are the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, and they will be sent to the city of Sathorn.

The port there has been completely controlled by the enemy.

Their first battle after landing should be against a military district on Bo Sheng’s side.

Then they will fight from south to north along Myanmar’s western coastline, all the way to Sittwe, Myanmar’s second largest port.

Following the 1st Motorized Infantry Division was the 3rd Light Division.

They were mainly responsible for garrisoning in towns captured by the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, while also protecting the 1st Motorized Infantry Division’s rear and ensuring the safety of the logistics line.

Marching on the Central Plains Highway were the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division, the 4th and 5th Light Divisions.

One of the regiments of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division has arrived in Meiktila. After waiting for the 4th Light Division to arrive in Meiktila, they will enter the Shan Plateau together and first eliminate the former government forces in the Taunggyi area.

After taking Taunggyi, they continued to head north to attack Lashio.

The 4th Light Division was also tasked with garrisoning towns and protecting logistics lines.

The other two regiments of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division and the 5th Light Division had to wait until the railway line in the Central Plains was fully controlled before taking train to Rangoon.

Then get off the train there and attack southeast along the coastline, capturing and controlling all the cities near the Thai border.

……

Early in the morning of September 9, the command center in Myitkyina began to move.

They connected the computer cabinet to the super graphene battery and then carefully moved it into the cargo hold of the transport airship.

This supercomputer used to handle the war of unification has been working, processing information sent back from front-line and rear-end nodes via satellites in space and ground base stations.

Military commanders such as Peng Sheng boarded several imitation “Greyhound transport planes”. They controlled helmets through brain waves or brain-computer chips connected to supercomputers to process various information and issue various commands in real time.

Of course, they do not need to command battles at the company or platoon level. The focus is to pay attention to the combat progress and arrival positions of each unit.

When problems arise in the coordination between the various units, timely corrections should be made.

Leader Li Sheng, who was in charge of the formation of the provisional government, also took other middle and high-level members of the Quanjiezhen on an airship to Mandalay.

There they will form a new interim Burmese government.

Wang Jiankun did not accompany them, as he wanted to use his superpowers to quickly provide the new Burmese regime with equipment that it had not had time to produce. On September 9, the main military forces of the National Liberation Front were on the march, so there was no fierce fighting, which also provided favorable conditions for the relocation of the military command center.

Early in the morning of September 9, the enemy came into contact from both the east and west directions.

The 1st Motorized Infantry Division, responsible for attacking Bassein in the west, encountered fierce resistance from the enemy.

位于勃声的原政府军第7军区总兵力大概在8千人左右，只有2个重炮连6门122毫米榴弹炮，坦克和装甲车都没有。

The commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division was Lao Quanjiezhen. Before becoming the division commander, the largest number of troops he led was 600.

Therefore, when commanding division-level troops, although he downloaded the memory packages of multiple Persian officers through enhanced learning using brain-computer chips, he still performed relatively poorly in actual combat.

The 1st Motorized Infantry Division had no heavy artillery, and the largest caliber artillery in the army was the 120mm heavy mortar.

However, its range is far lower than the 122mm howitzer of the former government forces on the opposite side.

Although the division commander discovered the enemy’s heavy artillery through the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft assigned to them, he did not call in the attack aircraft responsible for battlefield suppression in the air, but instead wanted to use 120mm mortars to fight back, perhaps because he wanted to take all the credit.

结果自然是非常不好，16门120毫米迫击炮报销了6门，才打掉对方2门122毫米榴弹炮。

Fortunately, the supercomputer at the Mandalay Command Center discovered the abnormal battle damage and promptly alerted the staff at the headquarters.

Then, with the intervention of the headquarters, the division commander changed the plan and ordered the aerial attack aircraft to destroy the enemy’s heavy artillery before launching the attack.

It was not until the war was reviewed that it was learned that this division commander had stood out in the old unit before the full liberation due to his outstanding performance in mortar artillery accuracy, and was appointed as the battalion commander of an independent battalion of 600 people.

This time he wanted to make full use of the power of his own 120mm mortar, which he believed to be the most powerful, so he did not think of letting the Air Force’s attack aircraft deal with the enemy’s heavy artillery.

Because it was wartime, changing generals at the last minute would have a bad impact, so the division commander who made a low-level mistake was only criticized verbally.

However, after the war he should have to go back to school and enter a military academy for further studies, and it would be difficult for him to serve as a division-level commander after graduation.

This is also the problem caused by the large-scale military expansion of the Quanjie Formation in the past two years.

After all, the total strength of the Quanjie formation was only a few thousand people, and its tactics and weapons and equipment were still at the level of World War II.

Now that the army has expanded to more than 10 troops, the size of the army has increased more than ten times, so of course there are very few qualified commanders.

It was only thanks to the brain-computer chip provided by Wang Jiankun and the extraction and replication of the war memories of a large number of Persian officers that the Quanjiezhen troops, which had so many advanced weapons, were prevented from fighting this war of unification using World War II tactics.

After discovering this example, the command in Mandalay began to pay more attention to front-line officers at the battalion level and above.

After all, the largest number of troops commanded by these motorized infantry and light divisions’ battalion-level and above officers before was no more than 1. Now it is questionable whether they can complete the tasks as planned with the assistance of brain-computer chips.

On September 9, the fighting among the front-line troops entered a more intense phase.

The remaining government troops resisted under the coercion of their officers, causing a lot of trouble for the attacking forces of the National Liberation Front.

Some commanders who had performed well during exercises and training suddenly became flustered and made frequent mistakes when faced with a real battlefield and a cunning enemy.

“Commander-in-Chief Peng, there is a problem with the latest order from the commander of the 4rd Regiment of the 3th Division. The supercomputer determines that if they follow his order, their regiment will be surrounded by the enemy in the valley.” After discovering the abnormality, a staff officer reminded Peng Sheng.

“Hmm? If they are surrounded, can they hold out until rescued by friendly forces or break the encirclement?” Peng Sheng asked after thinking for a while.

“The supercomputer determined that there is a 70% chance of breaking the encirclement. Our individual weapons are much stronger than the enemy’s. In addition, the enemy’s lower-level soldiers’ fighting spirit is close to collapse. When they shoot, they almost always shoot into the air, hoping to end it quickly and be captured by us sooner.

There is also a 60% chance that they will be rescued by the 2st Battalion of the Motorized Infantry Division in two hours. They have heavy mortars and individual rockets, and the enemy’s makeshift fortifications cannot withstand the attack of these weapons.” The staff officer called up the supercomputer’s judgment.

“In this case, let’s not remind them and let the battlefield teach our officers and soldiers. Otherwise, even if we say it this time, they may still make mistakes when encountering similar situations in the future.” After understanding the analysis results of the supercomputer, Peng Sheng decided not to interfere with the command of the regiment commander who made the mistake.

In the past few days, more than 10 battalion and regiment-level commanders have made serious mistakes, causing many unnecessary casualties.

In the first few times, the command center corrected the mistakes in a timely manner and shared the wrong examples, but some commanders and fighters still made similar mistakes afterwards.

This shows that the large-scale military expansion has indeed made these commanders and fighters who were forcibly promoted to high positions uncomfortable. Although brain-computer chips provide them with a lot of assistance, they are not supercomputers that can perform real-time analysis after all. They still mainly rely on their own judgment to conduct command, which makes them uncomfortable as they should not have reached this position.

Therefore, the command center tried its best not to interfere with the command of the front-line battalion and regiment-level officers and soldiers, and only intervened when there was a possibility of more than 20% casualties.

Although the battles on the east and west sides were not as smooth as those fought by the heavy armored combined brigade in the previous two days, this is actually the real situation of the full solution formation.

The weapons of the Heavy Combined Brigade were too far behind those of the Myanmar government army. The government army had no idea how the Quanjie formation would attack, so they used the old World War II tactics and were of course easily defeated by the Heavy Combined Brigade.

In addition, commanders at all levels of the heavy armored combined brigade are a group of officers with a high level of education. They learn faster and are more receptive to high-tech weapons, so they can exert the full power of their weapons and equipment during combat.

By September 9, the three important towns of Taunggyi, Lashio and Loikaw on the Shan Plateau were finally captured by the Quanjie Front. Only some tribal armed forces on the Shan Plateau were still resisting the Quanjie Front, but they would be eliminated one by one by the Quanjie Front’s light troops who were already familiar with the battlefield.

Once these three important towns were taken, there would be no threat from organized enemy forces on the central plains of Myanmar.

The coastal battlefields in the west and the southeast will take a long time to conquer because the local armed forces do not want to lay down their arms and hope to gain the power of autonomy as before.

Of course, Quan Jie Zhen would not agree to this, so it would take some time to eliminate the enemies on the east and west coast lines.

However, this no longer affects the formation of the new Myanmar government, and these local forces will be left for the various troops to use for training.

Although they are not small in number, they almost all fight on their own. The Quanjiezhen can send out battalion-level light-armed troops to eliminate these local armed forces.

This not only trained the command capabilities of these middle-level officers, but also cleared the way for the establishment of a new Burmese government after the war.

At this time, the All-China Federation of Liberation Front had only had informal contacts with ambassadors of various countries, and could explain these countries’ questions about human rights in Myanmar by saying it was in a wartime state.

It will be difficult to launch a crackdown on these local forces once the new government is officially formed.
