The Battle of Kunlong was a 42-day military confrontation between the armed forces of the Communist Party of Burma and the Burmese Army, which took place between November 1971 and January 1972. During the battle, the communist forces sought to capture the Kunlong bridge over the Salween River (a point of high strategic value). However, the human wave attacks (a tactic borrowed from China) of the communists proved ineffective against the entrenched Burmese Army forces. The battle ended in a defeat for the communists, the only major military set-back for the Communist Party of Burma during this phase of the armed conflict.

  • La bataille de Kunlong était une confrontation militaire de 42 jours entre les forces armées du Parti communiste de Birmanie et de l'armée birmane, qui a eu lieu entre novembre 1971 et janvier 1972. Pendant la bataille, les forces communistes ont cherché à capturer le pont de Kunlong sur le fleuve Salouen (un point de grande valeur stratégique). Cependant, les attaques par vagues humaines (une tactique empruntée à la Chine) des communistes se sont révélées inefficaces contre les forces de l'armée birmane retranchées. La bataille s'est terminée par une défaite pour les communistes, le seul revers militaire majeur pour le Parti communiste de Birmanie pendant cette phase du conflit armé. (fr)
