I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

Chapter 213

: Legion’s weak battlefield casualty rate

Wang Yao was very satisfied with Chen Lin’s act of loyalty.

These soldiers of the red alert system, as well as civil servants, engineers and other talents, are the confidence that he dares to establish a new dynasty with ethnic minorities in this chaotic Myanmar.

Looking at the more than 200 countries in the world today, there are only 27 countries that still have monarchs, and most of them are very small countries.

For example, the Kingdom of Brunei in the Southeast Asia region has a population of only 450,000.

There are also some with larger populations, such as the Khmer Kingdom in the southeastern peninsula, with a population of 16 million; and the Malay Kingdom in the Southeast Asian region, with a population of 33 million.

However, without exception, these countries have had feudal dynasties for a long time in history, and in modern times, although their countries were dependent on Western colonists, they still maintained their monarchy system.

After the end of World War II, there was a craze for independence all over the world. These countries took the opportunity to become independent, and many countries also retained their monarchy systems.

But every existing monarchy can retain its monarchy only because its monarch has played an independent role in modern history, so the people will support him.

01 Myanmar does not have this foundation.

The 54 million Burmese people are divided into more than 150 ethnic groups. The largest Burmese group has a population of more than 30 million, while Wang Yao’s Chinese only have a population of more than 2.6 million.

If you want to establish your own new dynasty in such a region with a complex population, you will inevitably encounter opposition from local forces.

Only strong military strength is the cornerstone of consolidating rule.

Coupled with the continuous output of talents from the Red Alert system, which educates citizens on Chinese culture, and with the unique ability of the Chinese to assimilate Chinese culture, Wang Yao believes that it only takes ten years to completely assimilate a generation of young people.

In fact, the number of Chinese in Myanmar is not the smallest.

Compared with the Mon ethnic group, which has a population of only about 1.5 million, and the Kachin ethnic group, which has a population of only about 1 million, the Chinese ethnic group with a population of 2.6 million is enough to rank third among ethnic minorities in Myanmar.

Second only to the Karen ethnic group with a population of 4 million and the Shan ethnic group with a population of more than 8 million.

However, Myanmar officials do not recognize the Chinese as a minority group, and divide the Chinese into subdivisions, such as the Kokang ethnic group in the Kokang Special Administrative Region.

And in the central plains and southern coastal areas in the core areas controlled by the Myanmar government, the development of the Chinese ethnic group is restricted, such as banning Chinese schools.

It is difficult for the cultural education of the Chinese ethnic group to be popularized.

It is said that the new generation of the Chinese ethnic group in the southern coastal areas of Myanmar are forced to attend Burmese schools to learn Burmese, and some children can no longer speak Chinese.

“What’s the troop attrition situation on the front line? Is it enough?” After stopping Chen Lin from misunderstanding his meaning and trying to assassinate Su Min and other former government officials, Wang Yao asked about the troop attrition situation on the front line.

“The air force basically suffered no losses. After all, we have absolute air supremacy.”

“Army forces and several combined brigades each suffered losses. From the beginning of the war to yesterday, the total battle losses of the main combined force were 137, including 21 killed and 104 wounded. , Twelve people are missing.”

The losses of the main force were basically negligible.

Even on the battlefields of Nansang County, Kelin County, and the attack on Taunggyi, the corps combined force as the main force launched the attack after indiscriminate bombing by the air force.

Just like during the Gulf War, the ground troops basically did the finishing work when they went up.

After all, not all armies are like the Dragon Kingdom army, which can organize an effective defense or even counterattack when attacked by Eagle saturated ammunition.

These Burmese army troops can’t even deal with the drug traffickers and warlord guerrillas in the Golden Triangle. How do you expect them to organize effectively under the indiscriminate bombardment of the legions?

When he heard that the losses of the main force were only over a hundred, and that the dead soldiers plus the missing soldiers were less than thirty, Wang Yao nodded and asked: “What is the battle damage of the guard troops?”

Although the main force of Wang Yao’s legion is tens of thousands of red police combined brigade troops, the combat effectiveness of the militia guards cannot be underestimated.

After all, each squad of this militia guard, which is composed mainly of ordinary people, has one or even two red police soldiers as basic officers to instill the belief of loyalty to Wang Yao in the guard and train them in military and combat skills.

In addition, most of these guard soldiers were converted from prisoners of the former Myanmar Army and various warlord separatist forces. They themselves have certain military qualities and only need a short period of integration to turn them into a combat force. Powerful infantry unit.

Now, under the leadership of the Red Police soldiers, this infantry unit is performing very well on the battlefield. It is much stronger than before when it was under the Burmese army and separatist warlord forces.

And because from the most basic class officers to mid-level and senior officers, they are all members of Wang Yao’s direct line of red police officers, there is no need to worry about rebellion at all.

“As of yesterday, the battle losses reported by the two guard brigades of the First Route Army were 172 killed, 220 wounded, and 19 missing.”

“The battle losses reported by the two guard brigades of the Second Route Army were 153 killed, 198 wounded, and 14 missing.”

“The battle losses reported by the two guard brigades of the Third Route Army were that 403 had 266 killed, 345 wounded, and 37 missing.”

Wang Yao frowned slightly when he heard Chen Lin’s report on the battle damage of the three-way army guard troops.

“Are the total casualties more than 1,400?” Wang Yao murmured.

Chen Lin explained on the side: “The casualties among the guard troops mainly occurred in urban combat, especially in the Northern Shan State area where the Third Route Army was responsible for the most casualties. Not only did it have to face the complex terrain environment, but it also had to deal with scattered areas. The Burmese army in the city carried out encirclement and annihilation.”

“And there are many fanatical admirers in the guard force. They are very brave when attacking the enemy, so the casualties are also high, but similarly, the results and military achievements are also ahead of other guard forces.”

Although the weaponry and support weapons of the guard troops have been strengthened, as Chen Lin said, the guard troops, as the main force in attrition warfare and public security warfare, are used in complex battlefields such as urban assaults.

The battle losses are naturally relatively high.

Moreover, under the leadership of the officers of the Red Police Department, these guards and soldiers who were ordinary people became fanatical admirers. A large number of ordinary soldiers who worshiped Wang Yao were eager for military glory and achievements.

When fighting, they are not afraid of death, and these grassroots fanatical officers and red police officers are often at the forefront, so it is no wonder that there are not many casualties.
