I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Pakpe’s final struggle [5K big chapter]

In the main urban area of Taunggyi City.

M1A2 main battle tanks and Grizzly light tanks belonging to the regiment roamed the main streets, accompanied by accompanying Red Alert infantry.

At this time, Taunggyi City, which had been bombarded by air raids on its substations and communication base stations, was plunged into darkness. The bombing that started last night caused the residents here to flee. Although there are still many residents staying in the city, they are still in the dark. At this time, these ordinary people don’t dare to go out casually.

Every household closed its doors and windows, and in the dark rooms, pairs of eyes looked in horror at the steel beast passing by on the street.

The high-altitude Red Alert reconnaissance aircraft reported a lot of the Burmese army’s defense situation in Taunggyi City to the air assault battalion, and marked several suspected locations of the Burmese army headquarters.

The Red Alert soldiers of the Air Assault Battalion used an M1A2 main battle tank, two Grizzly light tanks, and more than a hundred infantrymen to form an offensive arrow. A total of six offensive arrows were used to attack various targets in Taunggyi City. The Myanmar Army is carrying out fortification work at its stronghold.

Da da da da——

In the darkness, some defensive militiamen and armed police in the Myanmar Army strongholds were mobilized and fired in the direction of the Legion’s attack.

They didn’t even dare to show their heads. They only dared to hide behind the bunker, holding their rifles high and firing.

Or stick out the muzzle a little, fire a few rounds, then immediately retract, then move your position and shoot in other directions.

The equipment of these militiamen and armed police mobilized by the wet was extremely poor. They only had light weapons such as rifles and light machine guns. Many Burmese soldiers even did not even have tactical vests or tactical helmets.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Legion, each wearing a tactical vest, tactical helmet, and night vision goggles, three infantrymen as a group and twelve infantrymen as a squad, launched an attack on the soldiers defending the Burmese military stronghold.

In the darkness, the movements of the Burmese soldiers were monitored by drones hovering in the sky with night vision goggles, and there was nowhere to hide.

When a group of legionnaires entered within 500 meters of a Burmese army stronghold, the Burmese army’s heavy machine gun on the opposite side opened fire, spraying out a fiery snake in the darkness.

The M1A2 main battle tank and the Grizzly light tank were one block away from this group of legionnaires. After receiving the enemy’s information, a Grizzly light tank was immediately supported.

However, the soldiers of the Legion did not sit still and wait for death.

A legionnaire carried an 83mm rocket launcher and fired a rocket directly at it, instantly blowing a big hole in the heavy machine gun fortress of the Burmese army stronghold. The Burmese soldiers inside suffered heavy casualties.

When the Grizzly light tank arrived in this neighborhood, it was observed through night vision that the enemies in the Burmese army stronghold were trying to operate the heavy machine gun again.

As a result, a 105mm armor-piercing projectile was fired from the chamber, directly blowing the machine gun bunker into ruins.

The Grizzly light tank with level three protection capability also weighed more than 20 tons. Its tracks crushed the protective barbed wire deployed outside the Burmese army’s stronghold and rushed in directly.

The red alert infantrymen on both sides quickly followed.

The Burmese Army’s Eastern Theater Command has fallen into panic.

The commander of the Eastern Military Region, Pakpe, suppressed his inner anger and anxiety and got into an armored vehicle, while Chief of Staff Butt got into another armored vehicle.

The convoy drove out of the military base hidden in the mountains and began to go down the mountain, heading towards Hobang County in the east of Taunggyi.

In the car, Chief of Staff Bart communicated with Commander Pakpe through the communicator in his ear: “Commander, the Taunggyi garrison reported that the enemy has invaded the Dongjiawi Park area, and they have not occupied other buildings and buildings in the city. The facility is only for attacking our army’s military strongholds, with at least five or six main battle tanks and more than ten light tanks, with a troop strength of more than 500 people!”

“Moreover, the opponent’s troop strength is still increasing, and reports of exchanges of fire with the enemy are coming from bases and defense strongholds in various parts of Taunggyi City.”

“The front line of Mengbang also reported that the legion has launched a large-scale air raid and artillery bombardment. It is suspected that it is preparing to launch a night offensive. Requesting for additional troops!”

“The 3rd Armored Division and the 88th Motorized Infantry Division in the Hebang area, as well as several other independent battalions and independent regiments, are deploying defense lines overnight.”

Listening to Bart’s voice coming from the earphones, Pakpe’s mind gradually emerged with maps of various places in Taunggyi, as well as the deployment of his own troops and the enemy’s attack.

Currently, there are only one to two thousand militiamen and armed police defending the urban area of Taunggyi, which cannot stop the legion’s assault force with heavy armor.

The 262nd Motorized Infantry Brigade originally stationed in Taunggyi was also attacked by the army on the way to Nyaung Shwe due to its carelessness in underestimating the enemy. It basically lost contact and was annihilated.

Now the entire Taunggyi war situation has taken a turn for the worse.

The 40,000-strong army in Pakpe’s hands only has the 3rd Armored Division, the remnants of the 3rd Artillery Division, the remnants of the 88th Motorized Infantry Division, a few independent battalions, independent regiments, and the 89th place that is in danger on the Mengbang front line. division, a total of just over 30,000 people.

With the sneak attack on Taunggyi, the 30,000-strong army was restrained on the small plain of Hebang County.

If they want to withdraw, they can only withdraw in the direction of Xisheng in the south, but in this way Taunggyi will be completely lost, and the eastern theater that they have operated for many years will also be occupied by the army.

But if they don’t withdraw, most of these 30,000 troops will be buried here.

On the road at night, the convoy of the Myanmar Army did not even dare to turn on the lights, because from time to time in the air, attack aircraft of the regiment roared past, bombing the military strongholds and suspicious targets of the Myanmar Army on the ground.

If it weren’t for the enemy’s invasion of Taunggyi, Pakpe would not have wanted to risk such a move.

“Commander! The latest military information in Xisheng County! They were attacked by the legion!” When Pakpe was in a dilemma, Bart’s exclamation came from the earphones.

Pakpe broke into a cold sweat.

“The legion is going to annihilate us all here!” Once Xisheng is occupied by the legion, it will cut off the last retreat of the 30,000-strong army in the eastern theater!

“Commander, retreat!” Chief of Staff Bart suggested: “While the legion’s victory in the past is still unstable, the 3rd Armored Division and the 88th Motorized Infantry Division go south to open a way out and return to Naypyitaw!”

Bart’s words did not mention the 89th Regional Division and the 3rd Artillery Division that were fighting on the front line, because these two units could not withdraw.

The 89th Local Division and the Army Corps were fighting on the Mengbang front line. Once they retreated, the entire front line would collapse, and it would be difficult for even them to evacuate.

The artillery of the Third Artillery Division has many towed artillery, and even self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers need time to move. Now that the legion’s offensive is so fast, there is no time to evacuate the artillery unit.

Therefore, these two troops can only be abandoned, and even some other independent regiments and independent battalions need to stay part of the battle to block the attack and give the main force time to evacuate.

As a chief of staff, when Taunggyi is about to fall and tens of thousands of troops are besieged, this is indeed a plan to preserve strength.

“You must not be a deserter!” Pakpe gritted his teeth.

For Pakpe, losing the Eastern Military Region is unacceptable!

Because he is from the Pa-O ethnic group, when the Pa-O ethnic group rebelled, his father betrayed the Pa-O militia and defected to the Myanmar National Defense Force.

Later, when Min Donglai served as the commander of the military triangle military region, he also defected to Min Donglai.

When Mindong was transferred back to the central government as an army general, Pakpe rose through the ranks and finally reached the position of commander of the Eastern Military Region. How much it cost to climb to this position step by step!

Moreover, Inle Lake is the ancestral land of the Pa-O people. Seventy percent of the Pa-O people live on the banks of Inle Lake. This is his foundation and his hometown!

If the Eastern Military Region is abandoned, Mindong Lai will not let him go even if he takes the 88th Motorized Infantry Division and the 3rd Armored Division to escape back to Taunggyi.

The best outcome is that he is forced to leave the field, and he may even be responsible for the Taunggyi Battle and be pushed to a military court!

Those in the military from other factions in Southern Shan State will never let go of this good opportunity to add insult to injury!

So after a brief struggle, Pakpei’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he said to Bart on the other end of the communicator: “Order the 88th Motorized Infantry Division to launch a counterattack into Taunggyi City. We must recapture Taunggyi!”

“What about He Bang?” Bart exclaimed.

Meng Bang’s front line is in danger. The 89th Local Division may not be able to withstand the Legion’s offensive at any time, and the defense line collapses. Once the 89th Local Division is defeated, He Bang will face the Legion’s main force!

After the deployment of the 88th Motorized Infantry Division, Hebang only had one armored division, two independent regiments, three independent brigades and the remnants of the 3rd Artillery Division, totaling about 15,000 people.

“Taunggyi is lost, and Hebang cannot be defended!” Pakpe gasped: “Order the radio station again to contact the general staff in Naypyitaw for support!”

“Finally… let the 89th Division make contact with the Legion…” Pakpe’s last words made Bart take a breath.

Are you ready to surrender the army?

Hobang is only 12 or 13 kilometers away from Taunggyi.

After Pakpe’s headquarters moved to a church basement in Hoa Bang, he quickly began to deploy defenses.

The remaining 5,000 troops of the 88th Motorized Infantry Division, plus an independent regiment, totaling about 6,000 troops, were mobilized, and under the cover of night, launched a counterattack along the highway line towards Taunggyi.

While the ground troops were dispatched, Pakpe ordered the remaining artillery of the 3rd Artillery Division to bombard the lost former Burma Army military bases, military strongholds and important facilities in Taunggyi City.

The Third Artillery Division deployed in Hebang is self-propelled artillery, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, etc., with strong maneuverability.

Including 2S1 ‘Carnation’ 122mm self-propelled howitzer, B-52 ‘Nora’ 155mm self-propelled howitzer, SH1 (155mm) vehicle-mounted howitzer, MAM-01 (122mm) multiple rocket launcher, BM-21 (122mm) and more Tube rocket launchers and other types of artillery of various models.

The Burmese Army’s 3rd Artillery Division is equipped with a total of nine artillery battalions. In addition to the two artillery battalions that were destroyed in Taunggyi, some artillery pieces were blown up in the legion’s air strikes. Now the 3rd Artillery Division can only produce Two thirds of the usual quantity.

Even the remaining artillery battalions had to fire in batches carefully.

After firing a few rounds of artillery, this artillery position was immediately transferred. Otherwise, in just ten minutes, the legion’s intruder attack aircraft would carry rockets and air-to-surface missiles and bombard them, blowing their few artillery pieces into pieces. A pile of ruins.

Under night.

Tens of thousands of people in the Burmese Army’s Eastern Military District began their final desperate struggle.

The 88th Motorized Infantry Division and an independent regiment extinguished their lights and began to move towards Taunggyi.

But before they had gone very far, the Burmese army’s own formation became chaotic.

In the dark night, some personnel carriers collided with armored vehicles and motorcycles, but because they did not dare to turn on the lights for fear of being attacked by air raids by the legion, the chaos spread quickly, causing the entire counterattack force to fall into the ground before they entered the urban area of Taunggyi. There was chaos.

The artillery support from the 3rd Artillery Division of the Burmese Army hit the former Burmese Army military bases and military strongholds in Taunggyi City that had lost contact, although it caused some damage to the soldiers of the regiment.

But they soon abandoned these military strongholds that had been breached and continued to attack other remaining Burmese army strongholds.

The artillerymen of the Burmese Army’s Third Artillery Division originally lacked training experience. After several shellings, all the remaining artillery shells missed.

There were not many casualties among the legionnaires in Taunggyi City. On the contrary, private houses in Taunggyi City were bombarded by Burmese army artillery shells.

None of the regiments caused any damage to residential areas, but the shells fired by the Burmese artillery were more and more crooked. The entire Taunggyi city was filled with explosive fireworks caused by shell bombardment.

Some shells even landed in the city of Adaya at the foot of the mountain, missing their target by several kilometers.

The main urban area of Taunggyi City and the urban area of Adaya were bombarded by Burmese army shells falling at any time. Houses were blown up one after another. Ordinary people who suffered the disaster of the Burmese army could only wail in pain in the dark. Some local people organized , holding torches to rescue residents who were hit by shells.

… …. 0

Now I can’t worry so much about whether I will be attacked by Legion fighter planes.

They didn’t even know that these shells were deflected by the Burmese army’s artillery. They just thought that the army had launched a large-scale attack on Taunggyi.

But they are just ordinary people. In such a war environment, they can do nothing but save themselves.

“Commander, the air assault battalion has entered the main urban area of Taunggyi City. The Red Alert reconnaissance aircraft reported that there are Burmese ground troops in the Hoa Bang area supporting the main urban area of Taunggyi City, but there seems to be chaos.”

In Jingdong, inside the Red Police Base, Chief of Staff Chen Lin was reporting the latest battle report to Wang Yao.

“In addition, the air assault battalion reported that the Burmese army artillery was conducting indiscriminate shelling on Taunggyi. In addition to some of the Burmese army military bases and strongholds they had captured previously, the main urban areas of Taunggyi and Adaya City were also shelled by the Burmese army. There were civilian casualties.”

Wang Yao rubbed the bridge of his nose between his eyes to wake himself up.

“Ma Hongzhen is really brave and careful. He dares to break into Taunggyi City, which has a population of more than 200,000.” Wang Yao first affirmed Ma Hongzhen’s tactics and praised him.

Then he said: “Let the air force increase air strikes against the Burmese artillery troops, and don’t let them be too arrogant.”

“The Nighthawk transport aircraft brigade continues to airlift the Second Guard Brigade to Nyaung Shwe District to occupy the Adaya and Taunggyi districts.”

“The two combined battalions of the newly formed 3rd Combined Brigade first assembled light infantry. Under the transportation of the strategic transport aircraft group, they airborne to Xisheng County and cooperated with the 1st Combined Brigade to block the Burmese army’s southward retreat.”

Following Wang Yao’s order, a huge encirclement network is about to be formed in southern Shan State.

Using Taunggyi City, Xisheng County, and Mengbang County as the encirclement network, the 30,000 Myanmar Army troops in Hebang were surrounded on this narrow plain.

And this is only the third day of the war.

“As for the civilians affected by the war.” Wang Yao thought for a while and said: “There is nothing we can do about this kind of war. Let Duan Tianming organize the civil affairs officials in the ruled area and the post-war pacification association to prepare to enter Southern Shan State. Handle post-war matters in various places.”

Although the civilians in the war are very sad, this is a war after all, and affecting civilians is inevitable. Wang Yao can only order his civil affairs officials to prepare instructions for the aftermath of the battle and instructions for taking over Taunggyi.

These require a large number of civilian officials. Fortunately, Wang Yao’s Red Police Base can now produce three thousand Red Police soldiers every day. In addition to the normal production of two thousand people, there is also a quota of one thousand people for the production of civilian officials.

The army has already entered Taunggyi, and the support troops can arrive in the main urban area of Taunggyi City in as little as an hour to support the air assault battalion. The Burmese army in Hebang is just struggling to the death.

Even now Xi Sheng is on the offensive, and the legion’s encirclement network is about to be formed.

At this time, a staff officer brought a military intelligence telegram from the front line and handed it to Chen Lin.

After the latter took a final look, he said to Wang Yao with some differences: “Commander, reporting from the front line, the 89th Division of the Burmese Army stationed at the Mengbang Defense Line sent someone to contact them to inquire about the terms of surrender.”

“Xu Qian speculates based on the current battle situation that it may be the commander of the Eastern Theater Command of the Burmese Army, Pak Pei, who saw that he was about to be surrounded.

“Surrender? What are the conditions?” Wang Yaobao laughed.

Then he said with a cold face: “Tell Pakpe that we will only accept unconditional surrender, otherwise we will wait until we reach the draw and catch Pakpe in person!” Qian.
