The recapture of Naung Cho was a huge loss for the military council, but a sweet victory for the military council. Naung Cho was located on the border of Mandalay Region and Northern Shan, which gave the Northern Shan military council the opportunity to continue its offensive. The revolutionary forces, however, had already made a long way to take Pyin Oo Lwin and Mandalay. In this way, the two cities above Naung Cho, Kyaukme and Thip Paw, could be retaken by the military council through the La Shio. At present, the revolutionary forces in Mandalay Region are attacking Thabeik Kyin with full force.
