SO what happen to the Blackwind Lancers again?

I know that Free Capella is defunct post jihad, but what was the final fate of the standard-Bearers. Was they dissolved as a unit and abolished into the CCAF or vanished all together.

They were destroyed in detail on Sian fighting the robes. From memory, colonel Doles throws himself of Sun-Tzu's mech to save him.
With their leader dead and Free Capella dissolved, I think the handful of survivors were absorbed into the CCAF.

Hope this summary will help you a bit:

October 3068

19. - 20. September 3070
Battle of Sian
The sudden appearance of the Blackwind Lancers turned the tide of the campaign, its CO ultimately sacrificing himself and the unit to protect the Chancellor from falling to Blakist guns as his Yu Huang blocked much of the weapons fire directed at the ruler of the Confederation.

1. November 3070
Blackwind Lancers transferred from Free Capella army to CCAF. Sadly the ambassador hasn't knew that Blackwind Lancers were wiped out more than a month ago.

Was old Sun Tzu pulling off the trick of having a proxy to pilot "his" Mech again? Any info?

The chaotic behavior of the Lancers during the Jihad makes me wonder if Kali managed to suborn them somehow. Maybe Warner Doles got a workover in room 101 from either her or her boyfriend.

Yep, he was. One of the Jihad book reveals that a death commando was at the con when Doles threw himself in front of it

While I would have liked to have seen Doles taken out by the Federated Suns for destroying Kallon Industries Talon Plant...he did have a reason(albeit incorrect) for defecting back towards the CCAF since he thought that a FS warship had killed Candice Liao. Him sacrificing himself for Sun-Tzu on the other hand sounds too fanatical in my book compared to what I read about him in the novels. I could see him going against the FS but more as a "to protect the Capellan people" thing rather than a "for the EMPEROR!" kinda thing.
