Chapter 364
: Launch a full-scale attack from the Golden Triangle!
The northern part of the Kingdom of Siam is mountainous, but between the mountains are plain areas. The population is mainly concentrated on these plains, forming several large-scale cities.
Siam also has very few railway lines, with only four major railways connecting most of the country.
And they are all meter-gauge railways, that is, narrow-gauge railways with a track spacing of only one meter, and their transportation capacity is limited.
As the poorest northern region of the Kingdom of Siam, only Chiang Mai has a railway to Manchester in the south.
For example, the northernmost province of Chiang Rai has no railways and only some highway lines.
For example, Highway 1 runs from Mae Sai County in the north all the way south and runs through the entire Siam Plain.
At this time, after the Qin army occupied Mae Sai County, they began to clear out the Siamese troops on the mountains to the west of the highway along this highway.
The Siamese army remaining at the border of Mae Sai County are all militia and reserve forces. The main force of the Siamese army has retreated south to deploy defense in the area of Chiang Rai City.
Therefore, the Qin army only conducted some drone bombing and artillery bombardment, and then sent guard troops to occupy the Siamese army positions on these mountains.
The Qin army went all the way south, and after traveling more than 30 kilometers, it encountered a blockade by the Siamese army in the Chang Tongue Mountains in the north of Chiang Rai City.
This is Mae Cham County, Chiang Rai Province. It is located at the southern end of the plain and under the Long Tongue Mountains. It is an important transportation hub guarding the northern part of Chiang Rai Province. From here, you can not only reach Chiang Rai City in the south, but also have a mountain corridor to the west. Directly to Chiang Mai next door.
It can be said that the strategic position is very important.
The Siamese army deployed here the 1st Cavalry Division and the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade, totaling about 20,000 troops.
“Report to the Commander! The Seventh Brigade reported that they encountered the Siamese Army’s First Cavalry Division in Mae Cham County, Chiang Rai Prefecture.”
“Report to the commander! The 2nd Mountain Brigade reported that it encountered the 7th Infantry Division of the Siamese Army in Fan County and Chiang Dao County in the north of Chiang Mai Province!”
“Report to the Commander! The 3rd Mountain Brigade reported that it encountered the 4th Infantry Division of the Siamese Army in Bangmapa District, Mae Hong Son Province!”
Mengsa County, where Wang Yao started his career.
In the Red Police military base, Yang Yunlong, then commander of the Eastern Military Region of the Great Qin Empire, was lying in front of a map, listening to the reports of his staff.
Chief of Staff Qian Ning walked to Yang Yunlong and picked up the map: “According to the intelligence we have, the Siamese Army borders our Eastern Military Region with their Third Military Region, which is the Northern Military Region.”
“The Third Military Region has two infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and one engineering division.”
“The 1st Cavalry Division is a light armored force mainly stationed in Chiang Rai Province, the 4th Infantry Division is stationed in Mae Hong Son Province, the 7th Infantry Division is stationed in the headquarters of Chiang Mai Province, and the 3rd Engineer Division is in Lampang Province. , Lamphun, Phrae and other relatively southern areas.”
The Kingdom of Siam implemented a prefectural and county system. The prefectures were equivalent to the cities of the Qin Kingdom. Siam was not big, but it had seventy-six prefectures. Except for some prefectures in border areas that were relatively large, the prefectures in other areas were relatively small. But the population is too large.
“Tell the troops on the front line not to underestimate the enemy. After all, northern Siam is mountainous, and the air force’s bombing effect may not be ideal. There will inevitably be some remaining enemy troops hiding in ravines and forests. Fight slowly, and first attack Chiang Rai, Let’s take down these three provinces: Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son!” Yang Yunlong said with blazing eyes.
His style is relatively steady, and he is an expert in mountain warfare. The Eastern Military Region under his command also focuses on mountain warfare, and is most suitable for dealing with the mountainous terrain in the north of the Kingdom of Siam.
Chiang Rai front line.
The Qin army had broken through the defense line deployed by the Siamese army on the plains outside Mae Chan County. In other words, this line of defense had been torn apart by the continuous bombing of the Qin Air Force, and only a few Siamese soldiers were still stationed.
When the main force of the Qin army came over, these Siamese soldiers either surrendered or were killed on the spot.
Subsequently, the Qin Army formed the Seventh Brigade and began to attack Mezhan County at the foot of the mountain.
The air force responsible for frontline support dispatched a large number of attack aircraft and bombers to continuously bomb the defensive strongholds built by the Siamese army hiding in the mountains.
On the ground, the main armored forces of the Qin Army continued to advance along the highway. Wherever they went, Siamese soldiers fled one after another.
The entire Mae Cham County was littered with exploded tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the bodies of many Siamese soldiers.
Most of these died under the bombings of the Qin Air Force. After being continuously attacked by the Qin State, the generals of the Siamese Army’s First Cavalry Division still wanted to deploy defenses here, but as long as their tanks and armored vehicles appeared on the plains If they go up, they will be exposed to the eyes of Qin reconnaissance aircraft and even space satellites.
It will soon attract fixed-point attacks by Qin attack aircraft and bombers.
In just three days of continuous bombing, more than 180 tanks and armored vehicles of the Siamese Army’s 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Chiang Rai lost two-thirds, and most of the remaining ones were evacuated to urban areas. or mountainous areas, and dare not appear on the plains.
At the foot of Changtou Mountain, the leading troops of the Qin Army encountered the Siamese soldiers stationed here, and a battle broke out.
Highway 1 passes through the foot of Changji Mountain. On the west side of the highway is Changji Mountain, and on the east side of the highway is a stretch of mountainous terrain.
This distance is only one or two kilometers, but it is very important. The Siamese army deployed an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion here, with a strength of more than 2,000 people.
And they relied on the mountains, mountainous terrain, and forest terrain on both sides to escape several bombings by the Qin army, and built some simple defenses while hiding in the mountains and forests.
After the Qin army arrived here, they first sent out drones for aerial reconnaissance. After discovering several Siamese army positions, they called the artillery unit to attack.
At the same time, an M1A2 main battle tank drove onto the four-lane road, and soldiers from the Qin Army coordinated to follow on both sides of the road.
I saw these Qin soldiers fully armed, holding assault rifles, equipped with tactical vests, tactical helmets, and various protective gears. There were also four-legged terror robots following these soldiers for coordinated operations.
Da da da da – the word –
Gunshots rang out from the forest on both sides of the road as Siamese troops attacked.
The Qin army quickly counterattacked, turning the barrel of the tank and blasting it with one shot.
The infantry soldiers working together on both sides launched a counterattack against the enemies in the forest as a squad unit.
Drones in the air provide intelligence and low-altitude support at all times, and terrorist robots on the ground shuttle through the dense jungle, circling the enemy from complex terrain to attack sideways.
The Qin army almost suppressed the Siamese army in all aspects. Any Siamese soldiers who dared to show their heads would be attacked by the Qin army’s firepower. Soon many Siamese soldiers were killed or shouted to surrender.
It took the Qin army less than two hours to open this narrow passage, and the remnants of the Siamese First Cavalry Division fled in a panic toward Chiang Rai in the south.
