译者按：8月初，德昂军开始进攻昔卜镇，并于 10月8日向昔卜镇缅军的最后一个军事基地发动猛攻(本号曾翻译报道，见链接：德昂军向缅军在昔卜镇的最后一个基地发起猛攻)。据《密兹玛新闻社》(The Mizzima News Media)10月15日报道，经过两个多月的激战，德昂军于10月13日终于攻下了缅军在昔卜镇的最后一个军事基地——第23轻步兵营，由此全面占领了昔卜镇。

The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) successfully captured Hsipaw town in northern Shan State at around 1 pm on 13 October, following more than two months of intense offensive operations, according to TNLA spokesperson Lway Yae Oo.

据德昂民族解放军(简称“德昂军”)发言人雷耶乌(Lway Yae Oo)称，经过两个多月的猛烈进攻，10月13日下午1点左右，德昂军成功攻占了掸邦北部的昔卜镇(Hsipaw)。

The TNLA took control of the last remaining military stronghold outside the town, Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) -23. After securing the area, the TNLA reported that some junta soldiers surrendered, while others fled.

德昂军控制了昔卜镇外缅军最后一个军事据点——第23轻步兵营。在控制昔卜镇后，德昂军称，一些缅军政府士兵投降了，而另一些士兵则逃走了。

“We seized the town at around 1 pm. Some junta troops joined our forces during the offensive, some fled, and others surrendered their weapons. We captured LIB-23 through cooperative efforts,” the TNLA spokesperson said.

德昂军发言人说：“我们在下午1点左右占领了昔卜。在进攻过程中，一些军政府部队加入了我们的部队，另一些军政府部队逃跑了，还有一些人交出了武器。通过合作共同努力，我们攻占了第23轻步兵营。”

Hsipaw had been defended by junta forces, including Light Infantry Battalions 503 and 504, as well as Infantry Battalion 23. The TNLA initiated its assault on the town in early August, capturing the downtown area within a week.

昔卜镇一直由缅军政府部队防守，包括503轻步兵营和504轻步兵营，以及第23轻步兵营。8月初，德昂军开始进攻昔卜镇，并在一周内占领了昔卜镇中心城区。

Over the following months, the TNLA targeted military bases on the town’s outskirts, eventually seizing two infantry battalions. Fierce fighting continued around Infantry Battalion 23 for months before the TNLA finally took control.

在随后的几个月里，德昂军以昔卜镇外围的缅军军事基地为目标，最终夺取了两个步兵营。在德昂军最终控制第23轻步兵营之前，围绕23营的激战已持续了数月。

The junta responded with heavy bombardment in areas where the battles took place, and the TNLA is still assessing the extent of civilian casualties.

缅军政府对发生战斗的区域进行了猛烈轰炸，德昂军仍在评估平民伤亡的程度。

“We are verifying the civilian casualties. Our focus will shift to establishing an administrative mechanism once military operations are complete,” the spokesperson said.

德昂军发言人说：“我们正在核实平民伤亡情况。一旦军事行动结束，我们的重点将转移到建立行政管理体制上。

Hsipaw is now the fifth town under TNLA control in the second phase of Operation 1027.

昔卜镇目前是德昂军在“1027行动”第2阶段控制下的第5个城镇。

Northern Shan State comprises nine districts and an autonomous region, with 24 townships in total. During Operation 1027, in coordination with the Three Brotherhood Alliance, the Kokang Army (MNDAA) and TNLA have taken control of five districts and the Palaung autonomous region, capturing 14 townships across the state.

北掸邦由9个县和1个自治区组成，共有24个镇。在“1027行动”期间，果敢军同盟军和德昂军等“三兄弟联盟”协调作战，控制了5个县和巴朗自治区(译者注：也叫“德昂自治区”)，占领了掸邦14个乡镇。
