Lost Army
The Kuomintang in Burma ( zh, t=泰緬孤軍, p=Tài Miǎn gūjūn, l=Thailand–Burma orphaned army) were Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) troops that fled from Communist-controlled China to Burma in 1950 after their defeat by the Communists in the Chinese Civil War. Officially the Yunnan Anti-communist National Salvation Army (sometimes referred to in English as the "Lost Army"), the Chinese Nationalist troops in Burma were commanded by General Li Mi. It attempted several incursions into Yunnan in the early 1950s, only to be pushed back into Burma each time by the Chinese Communist Party's People's Liberation Army. The entire campaign, with logistical support from the Republic of China (which had retreated to Taiwan), the United States, and Thailand, was controversial from the start.
