From the evening of April 19 to the morning of April 20, the No. 2 Friendship Bridge, which connects Thailand and Myanmar, was suddenly attacked by artillery fire. Myanmar civilian forces launched a drone attack on the Burmese army hiding under the bridge, which lasted from 7 p.m. to close to 12 p.m.
After that, the sound of shelling stopped, and just as everyone thought the attack was over, Mindiwu began to fire with his guns. The attack lasted for a long time, during which Min Aung Hlaing's armed planes also provided support and dropped bombs, but they were unable to drive the Mindi forces away.
According to local residents, they could clearly hear the sound of guns and ammunition at that time, and even a grenade was fired into a house in Thailand. When the Thais picked up the grenade, it was still hot.
Originally, the No. 2 Friendship Bridge was an important passage between Thailand and Myanmar, and now there are grenades fired into Thai homes, which has caused a high level of vigilance on the Thai side. Now the Thai side has closed the No. 2 Friendship Bridge and deployed a large number of troops around the area to prevent the civil unrest in Myanmar from hurting the Thai people.
In the face of such a Myanmar, the Chinese side also said that it was very helpless, and did everything it could, and the Chinese side even supported the Burmese government army with some good weapons and equipment, but who knew that the government army was still losing and retreating, which made the Chinese side a little powerless.
The development of civil strife so far is inseparable from the connivance of the government, and it can only be said that it is self-inflicted
The No. 2 Friendship Bridge where the conflict took place is in Myawaddy, Myanmar, and many people hear the name in the movie Telephone Fraud Garden. Indeed, it is home to the notorious electronic scam park "KK Park", where there are not only hundreds of scam parks, but also many bookmakers. It's full of sin, cruelty, brutality, and the slightest carelessness will eat you to the bone.
The civilian forces that exist here are the Karen coalition forces, which have always been at odds with the government forces. Since last year, large and small clashes have broken out between the two sides, and the Karen coalition has bluntly said that it will definitely clear out all government forces in this area. The government forces in this attack are estimated to be only a small remnant, because as early as the beginning of this month, the government forces in Myawaddy were almost wiped out.
Government troops stationed in the area were either killed, surrendered or taken prisoner, and some fled to Thailand, where they were taken in.
Myanmar's success today has a lot to do with the Myanmar government's inaction and even its desire to get a piece of the pie with criminals. The reason why Myanmar's wire fraud syndicate has been able to do so much is because it has the protection of government officials. As the so-called officials and bandits protect each other, why not worry about it?
These wire fraud groups only need to pay a little money every year, and they can change themselves to become stronger and bigger. After a long time, the scale of the wire fraud group has become larger and larger, and it is natural that it can also raise some of its own soldiers. When the soldiers under his command grew to a certain scale, the leader of the wire fraud group was naturally unwilling to be subordinated to others and began to fight back. In addition, the government's inaction will lead to the rise of evil in Myanmar, the dissatisfaction of the people, and the emergence of a "revolt" of people. As the forces of different civilian forces gradually grew, the number of enemies that the government army had to deal with naturally increased.
The Burmese army is too muddy to support the wall, and whether China interferes is a big problem
Although China has signed ceasefire agreements with a number of civilian forces in Myanmar, the scope of the ceasefire is limited to the China-Myanmar border, and the rest of Myanmar is completely out of China's control. Even if the Chinese side proposes, the civilian and military forces of all sides will certainly not agree. After all, China's involvement in the war on the China-Myanmar border is only because this fire endangers the security of China's border, and because of the fear of China's strength, the civilian armed forces agree to a ceasefire.
However, if China intervenes in the war elsewhere in Myanmar, it may completely anger these civilian forces, and even the China-Myanmar border will not be able to live in peace. Of course, according to the strength of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the strength of these civilian forces is not enough.
However, China's involvement in Myanmar's civil strife will have two problems: first, if China intervenes, it means interfering in Myanmar's internal affairs, which violates China's foreign policy, and second, the Burmese army is too muddy to support the wall. The Burmese army has bought a lot of good weapons and equipment from the Chinese side, and if it fights a good war, the civilian and local forces will not become so arrogant. The problem is that the overall combat capability of the Burmese army is not good, and it is not firm enough, and the spirit of forgetting death and treating death as if it were home is completely absent.
Such a government army, even if he is given the most advanced aircraft artillery, is still no match for other people's AK assault rifles. Therefore, if the PLA really intervenes, it will be a bit of a headache for the Burmese army.
Now that the military force in the country is like a bamboo, the Burmese army is not only being abused, but also being abused, and the Chinese side also feels very powerless. If they don't help, once these civilian forces are allowed to control Myanmar, the situation between China and Myanmar may change greatly in the future. Although Min Aung Hlaing is not good at governing the country, he has a good relationship with China. However, if the pro-American forces come to power and Myanmar becomes a second Philippines, the threat to China will skyrocket, and it will certainly be greater than the threat of the Philippines, Japan and other countries.
But if you help, it hasn't reached this point yet, and there are too many involved, so we can only see where the next step of Myanmar's civil strife will go?
