: Landing on the beach!
[Picture: Small landing craft]
“Have you ever seen such a brave person?”
“I haven’t seen it before, how about you?”
“I haven’t seen it either!”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Outside the Koh Lan Island Police Station, the Qin Army soldiers responsible for escorting this crazy woman, who was tied up and her mouth was gagged with smelly socks, were taken out of a forced pickup truck and put into the custody of the police station. inside the room.
The crazy woman who was still arrogant when she stopped in front of the tracked infantry chariot just now finally recognized the reality after being slapped by a Qin soldier. Her eyes were full of fear and fear, and she remembered those things in her mind. In the historical scenes of war and chaos, the women suffered tragic consequences after being caught by the army. Their whole bodies trembled, and they looked pleadingly at their boyfriends who were taken into the car together.
“I first served as a supplementary soldier in the 1st Combined Brigade after the Battle of Taunggyi. Later, under the command of Commander Xu, I attacked cities and territories all the way, and successively captured Naypyitaw, the capital of Myanmar at that time, and then went south to capture We visited Bago, Yangon, Mawlamyine and other places.”
After Cheng Hongbao got off the car, he said to Feng Shi behind him: “I have never seen any big battles along the way, but this is the first time I have seen such people blocking the chariot.”
He and Feng Shi were both born in the Red Police barracks and added to the frontline troops after the Legion officially intervened in the Myanmar civil war.
After the civil war, Wang Yao established the Qin State, and the Qin Army was reorganized and expanded.
At that time, Cheng Hongbao’s military merit could be promoted to deputy platoon, and Feng Shi’s military merit could be promoted to squad leader. If he chose to join the newly formed garrison, he could triple jump. Cheng Hongbao could serve as company commander, and Feng Shi could serve as platoon leader or even deputy company commander. .
However, after careful consideration, the two chose to be transferred to the newly formed Marine Corps. Although they were only promoted one level, as officers of the first batch of Marine Corps, there was a lot of room for promotion in the future.
Moreover, the future expansion of the empire will inevitably require the deployment of the Marine Corps, and there will be many opportunities for them to make meritorious deeds.
For example, this time, it didn’t take long for the Marine Corps to be mobilized to accompany the First Fleet to the Gulf of Siam to prepare for landing operations on Siam’s coastal cities.
Among them, the Marine Corps, the most experienced combat team, served as the vanguard force and took the lead in occupying the three islands outside Pattaya.
After Cheng Hongbao and Feng Shi got out of the car, Chen Yuan also followed carefully.
He definitely didn’t want to come, but facing Qin Jun’s invitation, Chen Yuan did not dare to refuse.
“This island is temporarily under military control. I will send two soldiers with you to inform tourists on the island not to move around until the war is over.” Cheng Hongbao pointed to the Koh Lan Police Station and said: ” Don’t worry, our Qin army is here to fight, not to massacre civilians. Don’t be like this crazy woman, and we won’t do anything to you.”
“Yes, yes, I will definitely obey the arrangement.” Chen Yuan said repeatedly.
In the fighting area, it was not easy to encounter a well-disciplined unit like the Qin Army. If it were the Siamese army, Chen Yuan and his girlfriend might have been shot to death by this time.
Cheng Hongbao nodded.
As one of the outposts of the Qin Marine Corps’ attack on Pattaya, Koh Lan Island will have many transport ships docking at the port in the future. The transfer and transportation from here will inevitably have an impact on the local people.
But as Cheng Hongbao said, the Qin army is here to fight, not to massacre civilians. Just stay out of the way of ordinary civilians.
Chen Yuan was brought here because he was a tourist, and he was asked to serve as a messenger to comfort the tourists on the island.
“Don’t worry, the war will be over soon, and you will be able to go home then.” Cheng Hongbao patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder.
Although the Qin Army officer said this, Chen Yuan was still worried.
But as an ordinary person, what choice does he have if he is involved in a war zone?
Soon, under Qin Jun’s arrangement, Chen Yuan contacted the mutual aid group organized by tourists on the island and brought Qin Jun’s “Ancillary Notice” to the island.
At the same time, the follow-up troops of the First Brigade of the Qin Army Marine Corps also landed on the island one after another.
There is a small pier on the west coast of Koh Lan Island, where fishing boats and seafood farmers usually dock.
Although it is not as prosperous as the pier on the east coast of Koh Lan Island, it is enough for use.
After Cheng Hongbao and his platoon occupied Koh Lan Island, one transport ship began to separate from the First Fleet and headed for Koh Lan Island and Koh Xichang Island in the north.
These are small transport ships with a displacement of only one or two thousand tons, each of which can carry hundreds of soldiers and some supplies or armored vehicles and tanks.
The main purpose of this transportation was that some materials were transported to the two islands.
And on that day, several transport ships carrying two Marine Corps battalions and more than 2,000 troops landed on the Pattaya coastline from two directions.
One of the Marine battalions departed from Koh Lan and headed to Jomtien Beach, south of Pattaya.
Another naval road battle battalion departed from Koh Sichang and headed for Laem Chabang, north of Pattaya, for a landing.
The First Fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy was responsible for covering this battle. Starting from the 13th, the carrier-based aircraft of the First Fleet continued to take off, bombing the entire Pattaya indiscriminately. Any Siamese military targets that appeared and The power system and communication base stations were all blown up.
An entire landing fleet was then dispatched.
This landing fleet consists of a 20,000-ton dock landing ship, two 10,000-ton transport ships, three thousands-ton transport ships, and cruise ships.
After the landing operation in Pattaya was launched, the dock landing ship opened its rear hatch and released six small landing craft. Each landing craft had two M1A2 main battle tanks or four armored vehicles on board.
Other transport ships, transport ships, and cruise ships also launched small landing crafts, hovercrafts and other small transport vehicles to deliver more than 2,000 Marine Corps soldiers, a dozen tanks, and more than 30 armored vehicles. .
On the sea outside Pattaya, which is more than 30 kilometers from Koh Xichang Island to Koh Lan Island, the waves are gentle. Qin’s small landing craft (Li’s) and hovercrafts are like ants moving, and they are flocking to Pattaya. beach.
In the sky, naval carrier-based attack aircraft and bombers, as well as drones and reconnaissance aircraft were hovering, monitoring the entire Pattaya battlefield. While attacking Siamese military targets on the ground, they were also targeting the Marine Corps landing on the beach. Provide a variety of fire support and air support.
The Jomtien Beach in Pattaya, which used to be bustling with people, was completely silent.
clang!
A landing craft of more than 30 tons rushed onto the golden beach. Then the hatch in front opened. The fully armed Marines on the boat ran down from the boat in an orderly manner and quickly crawled on the beach on both sides of the landing craft. Coming down, the rifle in his hand was aimed at the interior of the beach, on alert.
Then one after another landing craft and hovercrafts successfully rushed to the beach, and hundreds of Marines rushed onto the beach.
boom!
At this time, gunfire rang out from the Siamese army’s beach defense line.
