I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Airdrop M1A2 main battle tank!

“Commander! Nyaung Shwe County was attacked by air! The local substation and communication base station were destroyed! Local police and militia forces reported! An enemy armed force airborne on the banks of Inle Lake and launched an attack on Nyaung Shwe County. The local city Already in chaos!”

In the Myanmar Army’s Eastern Military District Headquarters, Chief of Staff Butt hurriedly brought information about the attack in Nyaungshwe County in the rear!

“What? It’s not He Bang? It’s Niang Rui!” Pak Pei was suddenly startled, his eyes widened, and he stared at the map hanging on the wall.

In order to cope with the fighting on the front line, the Eastern Military Region mobilized militia troops and armed police from various cities as well as militia groups from minority tribes, all of which were deployed east of Taunggyi, ready to start a decisive battle with the army in the Hobang County area.

However, he never expected that the legion would have such a huge airlift capability, directly bypassing the Burmese army’s forward defense line, and airborne a surprise attack on Nyaung Shwe County.

Nyaung Shwe County is less than 13 kilometers away from Taunggyi. Once Nyaung Shwe County is lost, the enemy can march straight in and directly attack the rear of Taunggyi, directly cutting off the retreat of tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern Military Region.

It is even possible… to annihilate the tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern Military Region here!

Thinking of this, Pakpe trembled all over and did not dare to delay. He immediately ordered the 262nd Motorized Infantry Brigade of the 88th Motorized Infantry Division stationed around the headquarters to support Nyaungshwe. They must not let the other party gain a foothold in Nyaungshwe!

And Pakpe ordered a howitzer brigade under the 3rd Artillery Division to shell the enemy forces in Nyaung Shwe.

On several hills in the south of Taunggyi City, the 9th Artillery Brigade of the Burmese Army’s 3rd Artillery Division, which had been hidden for a long time, mobilized two artillery regiments with a total of 28 howitzers, and turned the muzzle. According to the intelligence coming from the direction of Nyaung Shwe , shelling the Corps’ suspected airdrop locations.

The Burmese army has many types of artillery. The artillery regiments used this time are an artillery regiment equipped with a D30 122mm howitzer and an artillery regiment equipped with an M71 155 towed howitzer.

Among them, the M71 155 towed howitzer has a range of more than 23 kilometers, and the D30 122mm howitzer has a range of more than 13 kilometers, and can reach about 21 kilometers using extended-range ammunition.

Can directly bombard Nyaung Shwe from Taunggyi.

In order to provide guidance to the artillery troops, Pakpet also dispatched some of the only medium-sized drones to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of enemy forces in the direction of Nyaung Shwe.

However, not long after these drones took off, they were attacked by Legion fighters.

The Intruder attack aircraft and MiG-29 fighter jets hovering over Taunggyi completely occupied the air superiority. As soon as the Burmese artillery appeared and fired a few rounds, the Intruder attack aircraft came with rockets.

The few artillery pieces of the Burmese army were directly blown to pieces.

On several hills, the dispersed 9th Artillery Brigade of the Myanmar Army suffered heavy losses and had to move its artillery.

The Burmese army’s ground troops, having lost their air supremacy, fought in such a useless manner.

At the high altitude of Nyaung Shwe County, a large fleet of C-17 transport aircraft finally arrived at the scheduled location. They began to lower their altitude from the south of Inle Lake, maintaining a height of several hundred meters above the lake, and headed straight to the southwest of Nyaung Shwe County. Rushing into the plains of the corner.

Four MiG-29 fighter jets guarded the aircraft at high altitude to ensure safety during the mission.

The C-17 strategic transport aircraft opened the rear cabin door, and inside the cabin, red indicators on both sides began to flash.

The first to be airdropped was the M1A2 main battle tank.

Two operators were seen standing on both sides of the cabin, turning on the switch of the mechanical equipment and sliding the M1A2 main battle tank carrying a parachute out of the cabin.

The M1A2 main battle tank, which weighs 71 tons, cannot escape by relying on inertia. Auxiliary equipment must be used to push this behemoth out of the cabin.

The moment the huge steel monster was pushed out of the cabin, the huge wind force opened the large parachute on the main battle tank, and the oversized parachute dozens of meters wide suddenly opened.

Underneath the parachute is an aluminum chassis, and on the aluminum chassis is the M1A2 main battle tank.

This level of low-altitude delivery of main battle tanks, and also in the dark, is difficult for even the world’s five major powers to achieve.

But for the soldiers of the legion, nothing is impossible!

After a while, the parachute dragged the M1A2 main battle tank to the ground, and a depression was made on the ground. The soldiers of the air assault battalion who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward to untie the parachute.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, huge parachutes landed on this plain grassland with tanks one after another. A total of six M1A2 main battle tanks and twelve Grizzly light tanks completed the airdrop.

Then, small umbrella flowers bloomed in the sky. They were soldiers of the air assault battalion, parachuting from a C-17 strategic transport aircraft at a low altitude.

After landing, the soldiers quickly cut off their parachutes with combat daggers, rushed to the tank, opened the hatch and got into the tank, and began to inspect it.

In less than half an hour, this armored force formed a combat effectiveness.

Ma Hongzhen personally sat in a tank and directed the armored force to attack Taunggyi City.

The air assault battalion currently only has half its strength, about 600 people, but it has six M1A2 main battle tanks and 12 Grizzly light tanks, and the C-17 strategic transport aircraft group and the Nightingale transport aircraft group at the rear are moving the second A batch of troops and militia guards were flown to Nyaungshwe.

He does not think the Burmese army can pose any threat to him.

So Ma Hongzhen decisively split his troops into two parts. One part marched towards Taunggyi along the path on the west side of the Kaidang Mountains, and the other part led by him followed the main attack route and launched an attack on the city west of Taunggyi. attack. (Good Zhao)

A very special thing about the city of Taunggyi is that it is built on a mountain plateau.

To enter Taunggyi City, no matter which direction you come from, you must climb the mountain, and the defenders in Taunggyi City can attack the enemy from high to low.

But now for the legion, they have already occupied the air superiority. They are not afraid of the firepower of the Burmese army. They are afraid that they will hide and not be exposed.

As long as the firepower of the Burmese army dared to show up, for example, the artillery unit of the Burmese army that previously shelled Inle Lake in an attempt to block the Army’s air landing was attacked by the Army’s air.

Although there is a Third Armored Division in the Eastern Military District of the Burmese Army, it is deployed on the plains east of Taunggyi, preparing to fight the legion troops that break through the defense line of the Meng Bang Mountains in the Hoa Bang area.

Now the Legion raided the rear of Taunggyi. Pakpe just dispatched an infantry brigade to block the attack, but he didn’t know that the Legion had already airborne armored forces! .
