The guns and cannons in Lao Cai are one after another, and the flames of war are rekindled, which can't help but remind people of the legendary battle more than 30 years ago. Lao Cai, a small town in northern Myanmar, has once again been the focus of fighting in recent days. However, what makes people talk about is a small story from the past, Peng Jiasheng's elite troops were completely annihilated by a nine-person team formed by Bai! What kind of history and strategy is hidden behind this?
Looking back at history, Lao Cai is full of gunsmoke and legends. 30 years ago, Bai Suocheng and Peng Jiasheng staged a thrilling drama here. Peng Jiasheng, a well-known military commander in northern Burma, whose troops have shone in the Kokang region. However, in a battle of Yang Longzhai, his elite commando team was severely damaged, what kind of strategies and characters are behind this battle?
Let's start with Peng Jiasheng's ally Bai Suocheng. In 1985, Baek's military standing in the Kokang region rose to prominence after an accidental injury. He was appointed deputy political commissar of the county brigade, a position that gave him a considerable voice in local military and political affairs. Bai Suocheng is smart and witty, and is good at executing grand strategies with a team of small soldiers.
At the time, Peng was engaged in a fierce power struggle with other factions of the Communist Party of Burma. His younger brother Peng Jiafu is also a role to be reckoned with, and together the two brothers hold de facto control of Kokang. But under internal power struggles and external military pressure, Peng's situation has gradually become delicate.
In this context, the battle of Yanglongzhai is particularly important. It is said that when Peng Jiasheng's troops attacked Yanglongzhai, Bai Suocheng laid an exquisite ambush circle with only 9 people. These 9 people took advantage of the terrain and full preparation to successfully defeat Peng Jiasheng's elite commando team. This battle not only showed Bai Socheng's military talent, but also exposed Peng's neglect of intelligence and strategy.
After the war, however, the relationship between the two became complicated. Although both men fought for assertive control, their relationship was fraught with uncertainty under pressure from their common enemy, the Burmese Communist Party. In the years that followed, Peng Jiasheng gradually retired from the front line and used more political means to consolidate his influence.
And Bai Socheng became famous after that battle. Not only did he gain military recognition, but he also began to exert greater influence politically. His actions proved that in the midst of complex geopolitics and internal contradictions, small-scale and precise tactical actions can achieve unexpected results.
Today, the fighting in Lao Cai has been ignited again, and the confrontation between the Allied and Burmese forces seems to have brought the land back to its past. Today's military strategy is vastly different from what it was 30 years ago. Modern warfare is inseparable from computer information, and it is more of a competition of computing and mental power, rather than a simple manpower duel offline. In the course of their advance, the Allied forces encountered constant stubborn resistance from the Burmese army, especially in the area of Tai Shui Dang in the south and north of Lao Cai, where the fighting was extremely fierce.
The Tatmadaw strategy was to retreat as an advance, abandoning some of its fringe positions and concentrating its forces on defending in the core. This strategy allowed the Confederates to make seemingly advance on the map, but in fact paid a huge price. The allied forces, on the other hand, are trying to gradually weaken the Burmese army's combat effectiveness by dividing the supply lines of the Burmese army, especially after occupying the strategic point of Yanglongzhai port, the supply problem of the Burmese army will become more serious.
The cycle of history makes people have to sigh that although the past is far away, the essence of its war has not changed. Bai Suocheng and Peng Jiasheng remind us that war is not only a contest of weapons and numbers, but also a duel of wisdom and courage. Now, when the Allied forces set up a battle line around Lao Cai, do they still remember the lessons of those years in Yanglongzhai?
In the face of the Burmese army's entrenchment, every step of the Allied army's advance was extremely difficult. The brutality of war and the test of strategy play out every battle day. From Lao Cai to Yang Long Village, from the past to the present, the victory of every battle is not accidental, and what it represents behind it is a well-thought-out strategy and the sacrifice of countless warriors.
From the surprise attack of Bai Socheng's 9 people to today's tug-of-war between the Allied forces and the Burmese army, Lao Cai is still continuing. Although the dust of history has settled, the sparks of wisdom and courage of those battles are still burning in the hearts of every participant. Lao Cai is not only a geographical name, but also a history of blood and fire, wisdom and courage. Here, every time a gun is fired, it is not only a signal of confrontation, but also a profound echo of the story of the past. In the days ahead, we have to ask: What can we learn from history, and how will we respond to the challenges of the future?
