Chapter 384
: Airborne assault on Khon Kaen Mansion!
Khon Kaen is an administrative district located in northeastern Siam. It is also the most urbanized city in northeastern Siam. Its entire administrative district has a population of nearly two million, of which Khon Kaen City has over one million people.
Khon Kaen City is the largest silk trading place in Siam and the headquarters of the Second Military District of the Siam Army.
The Second Military Region has jurisdiction over the 3rd Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, the 2nd Engineer Division, as well as three independent infantry battalions and a reconnaissance regiment, with a total strength of nearly 60,000, and is responsible for 20 areas In the three provinces, the main enemies to guard against are the Laotian Kingdom, the Khmer Kingdom in the east, and the South Vietnamese Kingdom behind them.
However, after being subjected to large-scale air raids by the Qin Air Force since the evening of the 9th, the Siam Second Military Region also suffered a devastating blow.
The 3rd Cavalry Division under its jurisdiction suffered the heaviest losses.
As one of the few armored units in Siam, the 3rd Cavalry Division is equipped with a large number of Type 69 main battle tanks. In recent years, it has purchased VT-1 main battle tanks to strengthen the armor capabilities of the Siamese army.
However, under the air strikes of the Qin Army, the armored strength of the Siamese Third Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses. All tanks and armored vehicles that could move in the past few days were attacked by the Qin Air Force.
“Commander, the defenders of Loei reported that the Qin army has invaded Phitsanulok, and the defenders stationed in Phitsanulok were defeated and entered the province.” In the urban area of Khon Kaen City, in a Siamese headquarters hidden in a shopping mall, an officer The latest intelligence is being reported to the commander of Siam’s Second Military Region, Lothar Krasay.
“The Qin army has already attacked Pengsanluo Mansion?” Lothar looked in disbelief.
Later, Lothar cursed loudly: “What do the Third Military Region and the First Military Region do? Why can the Qin army march straight in!”
Phitsanulok is the hinterland of Siam, with a straight-line distance of two hundred kilometers from the Qin border.
Moreover, Phitsanulok is an important hub connecting the Second Military Region and the Third Military Region. Once the Northern Qin Army captures Phitsanulok, the Second Military Region will have no choice but to support the Third Military Region.
“Commander, we can no longer control the Third Military Region. Qin has invaded the hinterland. The royal capital Manchester has issued three orders in a row, requiring our Second Military Region to gather forces to support the royal capital.” Thomas, Chief of Staff of the Second Military Region Lieutenant General Criyati sighed and said.
In the past two days, due to Qin’s continuous bombing and suppression of electronic exhibitions, the Second Military Region, whose communication and power systems were completely paralyzed, finally received military information and orders from the royal capital of Manchester.
Although the Qin State had not yet launched a full-scale offensive at that time, the Siamese military knew that the Qin Army’s ground troops were coming soon, so they continuously sent communications troops to contact Babaili to expedite the assembly of other troops.
Especially in the northeastern region of Siam, there was no Second Military Region bordering Qin.
Now they no longer have to worry about defending the three countries of Laos, Khmer, and South Vietnam in the east. If they don’t mobilize, their capital will be lost when Qin launches an attack.
But not long after, the news spread that King Rama X of Siam was killed by the Qin Air Force on his way to secretly escape, causing the morale of the Siamese military to plummet.
“Have the troops not been assembled yet?” Lothar asked anxiously.
Although the Second Military Region of Siam has nearly 60,000 troops, its branches are stationed in more than 20 provinces in the northeastern region.
If it were an event that would normally take only a few days to assemble.
But this time the war broke out too suddenly. The Qin Air Force’s continuous bombing and electronic warfare suppression paralyzed communications throughout Siam. In order for the Siamese army to gather, it needed to send communications troops to each military camp to inform them.

In addition, some bridges and railway lines were blown up by the Qin Air Force, which greatly hindered transportation and made the gathering of Siamese troops even more problematic.
“Currently, most of the 3rd Infantry Division and 3rd Cavalry Division have been assembled and ready to go at any time, but it will take some time for the 6th Infantry Division to be stationed at the border,” Thomas Hui reported.
Lothar looked at the map.
The 2nd Engineer Division is stationed in Nakhon Ratchasima Province and is the closest unit to the royal capital, Manchester. The 3rd Infantry Division and the 3rd Cavalry Division only have some light equipment left and are located in some areas around Khon Kaen. It’s not difficult to assemble them.
Only the Sixth Infantry Division on the border was difficult to assemble in a short period of time.
“I can’t control that much anymore. I ordered the troops to march to Nakhon Ratchasima City. The Second Engineer Division will serve as the vanguard to open up the road to the royal capital Manchester City and give…” Before Lothar could finish his words, a harsh shout suddenly sounded outside. Air raid sirens sound.
Wu——
Lothar raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, his face looking a little heavier.
Since the Siamese Air Force was raided by the Qin State and lost air superiority, the Siamese Army has become a living target and can only be beaten passively. They have become accustomed to being bombed by the Qin Air Force.
“｀. Order all troops to stay in hiding during the day and go out at night. The air defense battalion collects anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that can still be used to attract ground troops to move at night…”
“Commander! Oh no! There are so many planes outside!” At this time, a staff officer ran in in a panic from outside.
“Why panic? The Qin army’s planes are bombing again, right? It’s not like they haven’t been bombed before. Just let everyone hide!” Lothar, who was repeatedly interrupted, also yelled angrily.
“This time is different!” The staff officer gasped and came to Lothar and said: “The garrison at the airport reported that there were many transport planes! They dropped paratroopers!”
“What?!” Lothar was suddenly shocked!
—–Searching-
Khon Kaen International Airport is located in the northwest suburbs of Khon Kaen City. Khon Kaen Province was originally located on the Great Plains of Siam. Most of the areas are plain areas. There are no high-rise buildings around Khon Kaen Airport. There are even no high-rise buildings. There is also a large golf course to the northwest.
The bombers and ground attack aircraft formations of the Qin Air Force were the first to enter the scene and bombed the suspicious targets of the Siamese army around Khon Kaen.
Then came the transport aircraft formation, directly lowering the altitude to a few hundred meters, and carried out an ultra-low-altitude airborne landing from the vast plain northwest of Khon Kaen Airport!
A soldier from the Qin Army’s First Air Assault Brigade jumped out of the transport plane and quickly opened his parachute.
Small white umbrellas appeared in groups in the northwest direction of Khon Kaen International Airport.
There are a total of three air assault battalions, and nearly 3,600 fully armed Qin soldiers are like divine soldiers descending from the sky! It directly confused the Siamese soldiers stationed around the airport!
Not long after, intensive gunfire rang out throughout the northwest of Khon Kaen City, surrounding the airport.
The fighting begins! .
