One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-One Whetstone
Qiongzhou Base.
The shrill alarm sounded through the sky without warning, and the quiet training base was instantly boiling.
The scattered soldiers rushed to the assembly point at the speed of a 100-meter sprint like rabbits shot by arrows. In just a few minutes, all the troops of the First Airborne Division were assembled.
In order to replenish personnel, the First Division stayed at the Qiongzhou Base during this period. The whole division had a relatively peaceful period. In addition to receiving new members, the daily work was to organize new and old members to conduct various trainings and sharpen the combat team.
Due to the impact of the southward plan, the personnel replenishment of the First Division has not yet been completed, and at least one-third of the personnel have not yet arrived.
It is said that at this juncture, it is impossible to arrange combat tasks for the First Division, but nothing is absolute. Once the alarm sounds, anything can happen.
After the troops were assembled, Ye Han called all the officers above the battalion level of the division to the conference room, and the troops received equipment as units and prepared to set off.
In the conference room, Ye Han turned on the projector, and a map of Southeast Asia was projected on the wall. The officers in the conference room immediately understood the reason for the alarm.
All countries are worried about aliens, and Beidu is no exception. Although Beidu has adopted an active offensive strategy to drag the Zerg people to the three islands in the South China Sea, the border of the Republic is not as peaceful as imagined.
The problem mainly comes from the southwest. India has always claimed to be a military power and was once known as the world's third military power, but India's combat effectiveness is too weak to mention. Even with nuclear weapons, it is not an opponent of aliens. In addition, the climate of the Indian Peninsula is particularly compatible with the Zerg, and it was beaten all the way to the foot of the Himalayas by the Zerg. If it were not for the climate, it would have rushed to the plateau in one breath.
Although India finally stopped the Zerg with the assistance of the space fleet, the Zerg had already penetrated deep into India and hid underground waiting for the opportunity.
India itself has many problems, and its national strength is relatively weak. Even with the gold and jade of Europe in front of them, they can't learn the cage formation of southern Europe.
The result is that the Zerg in southern Europe has been suppressed underground by the European coalition forces, while the Zerg in India comes out to plunder from time to time, and countless people are killed and injured.
Moreover, the swarm of insects specifically chooses the time when there is no cover above the head of India. They come out quickly and retreat quickly. The Indian army is exhausted but has not killed many insects. They are played by the swarm of insects all day long. They are simply a typical example of a bad teammate.
If it were not for the overall interests of mankind, the space fleet would not help at all.
In recent months, the swarm of insects in India has become stronger and stronger. I don’t know if they think it’s boring to keep harming India. A group of giant insects actually left India and developed towards Southeast Asia.
This group of giant insects drilled into the primitive jungles of Southeast Asia. There are dense forests and extremely harsh natural environments, but it is very suitable for the development of insect swarms. Even the most experienced mountain combat troops of mankind cannot fight against giant insects in the primitive forests.
It is easy to destroy the primitive forests, but after losing the primitive forests of Africa and South America, most of the forest resources of the entire earth have been damaged. If the primitive forests continue to be destroyed, the global environment will undergo unpredictable changes. By then, there will be no need for aliens to fight. Humans will be extinct because of the drastic changes in the environment.
It is precisely because of human concerns about the primeval forest that the swarm of insects heading eastwards barely spent any effort to pass through thousands of kilometers of primeval forests and successfully reach northern Myanmar.
Although Beidu’s main force was placed on the three islands in the South China Sea, it did not miss this swarm of insects heading eastwards.
Myanmar’s military strength is limited. Guarding cities and major transportation lines is already the limit of the Myanmar Army, and there is no extra force to expel the swarm of insects.
If they continue to ignore it, the swarm of insects will surely cross the border and enter the southwest region. At that time, if they want to deal with the swarm of insects, the battlefield will be in the southwest region.
Based on the basic reason of defending against the enemy from outside, Beidu immediately held emergency consultations with Myanmar. It took only more than ten minutes for the two sides to reach a series of military agreements.
After the meeting, the two sides immediately issued a joint statement, which roughly stated that Myanmar was unable to fight against the swarm of insects heading eastwards,
and therefore requested Beidu’s support.
Based on a series of lofty ideals such as humanitarianism, Beidu decided to send a force to Myanmar to fight against the swarm of insects together with the Myanmar Army.
In fact, Beidu used a batch of weapons and equipment and civilian supplies to conduct a thorough exchange of interests with Myanmar.
In order to avoid troubles over sovereignty, Beidu once again used the Volunteer Army number. In military history, this unit is called the Southeast Volunteer Army, also known as the Third Volunteer Army.
After entering Myanmar, this unit immediately seized strategic nodes and relied on the continuous supply of materials in the rear to prepare to block the insect swarm.
These are the situations that everyone already knows. Now that Ye Han has called up the map of Southeast Asia, there must be something new.
Everyone is right. There is indeed a problem with the troops entering Myanmar.
The troops entered Myanmar six days ago. Due to the hasty action and the particularly long defense line they faced, the troops entering Myanmar failed to establish a complete defense line in time. Yesterday morning, the troops entering Myanmar encountered the insect swarm, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the primeval forest.
So far, the battle has lasted for nearly thirty hours. A large number of giant insects have broken the defense line of the troops entering Myanmar. The defense line has been cut off by the insect swarm. The troops at each node can only shrink their personnel and defend on the spot, relying on air strikes and airdropped ammunition supplies to continue fighting.
According to reliable intelligence, the troops entering Myanmar failed to stop the insect swarm, but only delayed the advance of the insect swarm. If it continues to develop, the insect swarm will soon cross the border and enter the southwest region.
In order to prevent the entry of the insect swarm, the military decided to send more troops to the southwest border and establish a new line of defense to stop the insect swarm.
Since the southward plan has drawn a large number of troops, the domestic mobile forces are very limited, and it is not so fast to draw troops from various places, so the superiors ordered the first division to set off for the southwest border immediately.
Ye Han finally concluded that it is not difficult to deal with insects, which is much simpler than dealing with aliens, but no one can be careless and must take the upcoming action seriously.
Some people suggested that the troops have not yet run-in, is it too early to carry out the mission at this time?
However, Ye Han believes that actual combat is the best run-in, and fighting with the enemy is much more effective than any training!
The combat effectiveness of insects is limited, so it is just right to use them as a whetstone to train the troops. After this battle, the troops will be almost run-in.
The officers above the battalion level of the First Division were of a unified mind, and immediately organized the troops to set off after the meeting... In order to send the First Airborne Division to the frontier as soon as possible, the military mobilized more than 30 large transport planes, swallowing up the entire First Airborne Division at once, and also brought an understaffed regiment of the Fourth Airborne Division.
In this way, all the airborne troops at the Qiongzhou Base flew to the southwest border of the motherland.
