South of the old city, Bailu Road, 9th floor of Kunshi Building.

As the young Xiao Yi pulled the trigger of his revolver, the arrogant young master Bai died, officially sounding the alarm for the war in Kokang.

This shot was no longer just about the personal hatred of the young man in military uniform, nor was it an ordinary gang fight.

This single shot has escalated into a power struggle between two major factions in Kokang.

Both of these forces possess powerful private armies.

The Bai family, under Ming rule, possessed at least 3,000 troops. In addition to conventional firepower, they could also directly mobilize an armored company of the Self-Defense Army.

The Kokang Self-Defense Army consists of one armored regiment, one of which is a company that is not under Peng Jiasheng's control and can be considered the Bai family's private army.

In the 1990s, northern Myanmar was still using an army organization that had been copied from the Northern Xiong Kingdom decades earlier.

An armored company was equipped with 12 T-62 main battle tanks.

Although the outdated T-62 main battle tank has been phased out for many years on the main battlefield.

But to use them in the power struggles between criminal gangs in northern Myanmar is really bullying.

On Kun Sheng's side, once they face this armored force, the only options besides risking a charge with high explosives to blow them up are RPG rocket launchers, which can offer some restraint.

"Boss Kun, a major battle is about to break out. Are your men planning to stay in the Bailu Road area and adopt a defensive posture?"

Lin Dong was in a great mood after converting Kun Sheng's huge amount of black money and winning over the military-uniformed youth Xiao Yi.

Whether Kokang is in chaos or not is completely irrelevant to him.

However, from the perspective of laying the groundwork for Kokang and dominating northern Myanmar in the future, it would certainly be best if Kun Sheng could destroy the Bai family.

Even if he ultimately fails, Lin Dong has a second plan.

Kun Sheng was quite helpless in the face of Lin Dong's questioning. Although he had a lot of weapons, he had few people.

This battle, once it began, was a do-or-die situation, a desperate gamble.

If he wins, he will completely drive the Bai family out of Nancheng and become the highly sought-after "King of Nancheng".

If he were to lose, Kun Sheng would have no choice but to flee back to his hometown of Hpakant and hide away to lick his wounds alone.

“Mr. Lin, we don’t have enough troops. If we send all our men out, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold Bailu Road.”

Kun Sheng raised his concerns.

"In urban street fighting, neither holding a position to the death nor defending a building is the best strategy."

"My idea is to take advantage of the Bai family's troop deployment from outside the city and then come over from the north city, which will take at least two hours."

"These two hours are enough for us to sweep up all of the Bai family's territory in the south of the city."

"Once the main force of the Bai family arrives, all that will be left for them is a pile of ruins. What use will they be then?"

Lin Dong analyzed the situation calmly, and Kun Sheng nodded repeatedly as he listened:

"Mr. Lin is absolutely right. My goal is to drive out the Bai family's influence in the southern part of the city."

"If this casino and the White House are destroyed, so be it. It's not a big deal."

"However, I only have a few hundred troops here. Once they are all gone, who will defend us?"

Lin Dong smiled and gestured vaguely towards the street scene outside the window:

"Boss Kun, haven't you heard the saying? The greatest victory is to drag the enemy into the ocean of people's war."

"There must be at least several thousand, if not ten thousand, gang members on your Bailu Road, right?"

"Let's be generous and open the armory, distribute all the surplus weapons, and send people to organize them all."

"With these fresh troops familiar with the terrain here, it won't be so easy for the Bai family to get in."

......

Upon hearing this, Kun Sheng's eyes lit up, and he excitedly stood up:

"That makes sense. What's a little weaponry if I give away some to defeat the Bai family?"

"What Kun Sheng may not have is plenty of money and weapons!"

"Haha... I'll arrange it right away."

Lin Dong watched as Kun Sheng excitedly picked up the military walkie-talkie and issued a series of orders to his subordinates.

Soon, boxes of weapons and ammunition hidden in the Quincy Building were unloaded, urgently loaded onto trucks, and prepared for distribution to all the gangs in the area.

As for whether these motley crews of gangsters could help defend the territory, Kun Sheng wasn't worried at all.

Firstly, Kun Sheng had been entrenched in this area for 20 years, and his prestige and connections in the local underworld remained strong.

Secondly, the Bai family's attack on Bailu Road has harmed the interests of these people. They surely understand the principle of mutual dependence.

Thirdly, with the Kun boss providing weapons and promising numerous benefits after the war, how could these impoverished gangs at the bottom not be tempted?

So soon, "Death Road" became a real road to death.

Any force that tries to invade will pay a heavy price.

......

In addition to opening warehouses to deliver weapons, Kun Sheng also ordered Xiang Shanhe to select 500 guards, carrying sufficient weapons and ammunition, to head separately to the New Haojiang Casino and the White House.

To ensure the success of the clearing operation, Xiang Shanhe specifically went to the armory and removed 30 MG4 light machine guns, 10 Maxim heavy machine guns, and more than 60 boxes of high explosives, grenades, etc.

Of course, they also carried 30 RPG rocket launchers, an essential weapon for gang warfare in urban areas.

It only takes 10 minutes to drive from Bailu Road to the New Haojiang Casino and the White House Sauna.

At this moment, Kun Sheng and Lin Dong stood on the 9th floor of the Kun Building, gazing at the flames soaring into the sky from the direction of the casino and the White House.

Even the sounds of intense gunfire and explosions could be clearly heard.

Kun Sheng stroked his gray beard and smiled with satisfaction.

Lin Dong's suggestion was correct; I had been too conservative before.
