: Annihilate 280,000 enemies
But it also depends on what it is compared to.
It is the sixteenth day since the Legion announced its participation in the Burmese Civil War, and the total number of casualties of the Legion is 1,561.
The main reason is that the guard troops suffered a lot in the street fighting in the occupied cities in Myanmar.
For comparison, during the Gulf War, during the forty-three days, the multinational forces headed by the Eagle Kingdom suffered more than 600 casualties, and the casualties caused to the Babylonian Army were .
More than 20,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and perhaps even close to 50,000 soldiers of the Royal Army died in the battle. Because the Babylonian army command system was destroyed, the detailed number of casualties cannot be calculated.
There were nearly 180,000 captured Babylonian soldiers, of which more than 70,000 were wounded.
In the Gulf War, a total of more than 800,000 troops from the multinational forces dominated by the Eagle Nation participated in the war, including more than 500,000 troops from the Eagle Nation.
The Kingdom of Babylon had more than 600,000 regular troops, and more than 600,000 reserves were mobilized before the war, with a total force of more than 1.2 million.
In the Gulf War, the multinational coalition’s ammunition consumption, various missile consumption, and fighter aircraft sorties far exceeded the extent of the Legion’s attack on the Burmese Army this time.
Moreover, the multinational coalition forces continued indiscriminate bombing for more than a month from January 16 to February 24 before the ground troops attacked.
Almost all the airports, military bases, defense strongholds, communication base stations, power stations and other important facilities in the Kingdom of Babylon were bombed several times.
For more than a month, the entire Kingdom of Babylon seemed to have lost contact with the outside world.
While the legion was bombing, the ground troops launched an attack.
The entire Kingdom of Babylon covers an area of more than 400,000 square kilometers. The multinational forces led by Eagle Kingdom only occupied some important cities. The area was less than 30,000 square kilometers and ended the military operation against the Kingdom of Babylon.
However, the legion wants to occupy all the cities and villages in Burma and bring this country under its own rule. Naturally, it is impossible for the multinational forces led by the Eagle Kingdom to only attack important node cities and withdraw after the Kingdom of Babylon admits defeat. .
“The battle losses of the guard troops are still acceptable.” Considering multiple reasons, the battle losses of the guard troops were also very small, and Wang Yao had no plans to replenish the strength of the guard troops for the time being.
At present, the troops in his hands, in addition to the Red Police Guards Brigade stationed throughout Jingdong and the three Red Police Combined Brigades currently in training, there are only less than 10,000 newly recruited ordinary guard troops.
The newly-built 7th Guard Brigade recruits ordinary people from all over Eastern Shan State, and it requires more training time than the integration time of the troops converted from prisoners.
Although the training center at the Red Alert Base has experience bonus buffs, it still takes one month to complete the normal three months of recruit training.
“In another week, send the 7th Guard Brigade that has completed recruit training to Naypyidaw to replace the troops from the 2nd Guard Brigade.” Wang Yao said.
“Follow your orders!” Chen Lin knew that Wang Yao and his Red Guard Guards Brigade would be heading to the capital Naypyitaw with the 7th Guard Brigade.
Although the 7th Guard Brigade is full of new recruits, it has red police officers as grassroots officers, so there is definitely no problem with discipline and obedience. However, it lacks some war experience, so it can still be used as a stay-at-home force.
“By the way, commander, the prisoners gathered from various places have been escorted to the three cities of Taunggyi, Lashio and Naypyitaw.” Chen Lin reminded again.
“How many prisoners are there?” Wang Yao was still a little curious.
Chen Lin opened the tablet computer in his hand and looked at the report information of each unit, and said: “In the battle of Southern Shan State, the Battle of Taunggyi and other small-scale battles in various places captured more than 34,800 Burmese soldiers.”
“During the battle in Northern Shan State, more than 25,110 people were captured in battles in Lashio and other places.”
“Battle of Naypyitaw, more than 132,700 Burmese soldiers were captured”
“In the Battle of Meiktila, more than 8,400 Burmese soldiers were captured.”
“In the Battle of Taungoo, more than 10,800 Burmese soldiers were captured.”
“As of yesterday, our army has annihilated a total of 180,000 Burmese regular troops, 100,000 militia reserves, and captured more than 170,000 prisoners, including more than 64,000 wounded.”
“The total number of enemies killed by each unit is more than 38,600!”
Wang Yao is also looking at the return data in his hand.
In sixteen days, the Burmese army suffered more than 100,000 casualties.
The total number of enemy annihilations reported by various units of the legion was 280,000, including 180,000 regular troops and 100,000 militia reserves formed at the beginning of the civil war.
In other words, in addition to the 170,000 prisoners and the more than 38,000 people killed, more than 70,000 Burmese troops were dispersed and missing in the battle with the legions.
In war, this situation is very common.
Especially for some troops that failed in the war, the troop establishment was wiped out due to constant fighting, and they could not even count their own personnel, let alone the statistics of the other party.
The same is true for the Legion during the attack.
After many Burmese army defense lines were defeated by the attacking legionnaires, the Burmese soldiers fled in panic and dispersed in the form of birds and beasts.
Some of them will look for other superior troops and friendly troops, some will fall into the trap of bandits, and a few will lay down their weapons and return to their hometowns to become ordinary people.
The soldiers of the legion have offensive missions, and they basically do not pursue these Burmese troops who are already frightened. They mainly attack the offensive targets. After attacking the offensive targets, they will attack the surrounding Burmese troops who have collapsed. The remaining troops attacked and captured.
Some of these disintegrated Burmese soldiers will be led by officers or instinctively gather in other cities where the Burmese army is stationed.
For example, in the Battle of Meiktila, after the defeat of 20,000 Burmese soldiers, many Burmese soldiers fled directly to Mandalay.
Therefore, we can only estimate approximate data.
These 170,000 Burmese army prisoners are all trained veterans, but they cannot be allowed to enter society and cause harm to ordinary people.
Moreover, Wang Yao’s legion also needs to be expanded.
(That’s good.) Otherwise, it would be difficult to militarily occupy Myanmar’s more than 600,000 square kilometers of land with its current military strength.
During the period when the war broke out, Wang Yao’s three major red police base groups also continued to produce red police soldiers, civil servants, engineers and other talents.
In addition to the third synthetic brigade that supported the First Route Army during the Battle of Naypyitaw, two synthetic brigades have now been reorganized in the Jingdong area.
There is also a combined brigade that will be reorganized in three days.
The Militia Guard also has a new Guard Brigade completing recruit training in a week.
Up to now, Wang Yao’s direct Red Police force has expanded to five combined brigades, a mountain brigade, a Guards brigade, and an air assault battalion, totaling 58,000 people.
The guard force has seven guard brigades with 63,000 people.
The air force has more than 5,000 people.
The main force of the Red Police is 90,000, and the militia and guard force is 60,000, for a total of 150,000 troops.
