News is spreading that the revolutionary groups are going to attack Pyin Oo Lwin, the military academy located east of Mandalay. Lashio in North Shan, When Kyaukme and Nungcho cities fell, Pyin Oo Lwin was defenseless. Therefore, the family members of the military commander and some people have started to leave the city. Today, there are so many people fleeing from Pyin Oo Lwin that there is a line of cars blocking the highway from the 16 mile toll gate to the 21 mile point on the Mandalay Pyin Oo Lwin road. Those people fled the war from Mandalay to Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon.
The military council is preparing a large-scale defense in Pyin Oo Lwin town. The roads leading into Nungcho are being heavily patrolled and troops are being deployed. The students and teachers have gone back to their homes because they have entered and deployed in Yadanapa Cyber City, which is a university outside the city. In Lashio, I improved my defense, but I only fought for a month. I don’t think it will take that long if we really fight Pyin Oo Lwin, which doesn’t have many combat troops.
