Chapter 102: The Chaotic Western Pacific

Du Zhangmen had already discussed with Li Zhen, and launched an attack together the next morning. The 2nd Division led by the commander of the Nanban Army attacked from the coastal area north of the city, and the 1st Division led by Chairman Du attacked slightly westward from the north of the city.

Alexander, the uncle and nephew of Nguyen Yong, who insisted on Hue, used almost all the troops in his hands as much as he could.

Chairman Du has grown to more than 60,000 troops, and Le Yen also has nearly 20,000 troops, and the two sides have a total of nearly 80,000 troops, which is superior in numbers compared to Nguyen Dung's side.

And Nguyen Dung also had two regular divisions, and the rest of the armies were all ragtag armies that were constantly looting, with a total of more than 60,000 troops.

On the periphery of Hue City, hundreds of thousands of troops fought around Hue City.

Fortunately, Nguyen Dung had artillery, and relied on firepower to suppress and cause a large number of casualties to the attacking army, and temporarily held the position without losing.

The artillery of one battalion of each of the two positions of the Third Division was mainly equipped with Soviet-made M-46130mm cannons, and the powerful artillery fire suppressed them, resulting in heavy casualties in every attack of the opposing army.

It is not difficult to imagine that in the face of such huge casualties, both Du Zhangmen and Li Yan came out on fire and vowed to eliminate Ruan Yong.

Another thing that made Ruan Yong secretly happy was that the Han fighters always arrived at critical moments, and the fighters bombarded the troops of Du Zhangmen's First Division and Commander Lai's Second Division indiscriminately.

The fighters of the Han State only attacked the attacking side, and they hated them so much that their teeth itched. But Du Zhangmen had no choice about the fighters in the air, except for scolding Ruan Yong for treason and defection to the enemy, he could only silently endure the ravages of the Han fighters.

The purpose of the Han State was very clear, that is, to keep Nguyen Dung from being wiped out for the time being, to make the war last longer, and to consume their living forces as much as possible. The war went on like this, and the constant attrition imperceptibly reduced the armies of both sides, including their ammunition.

This is because Zhang Shigang's People's Front troops in the south are advancing northward, and in addition to exterminating small armed forces along the way, the most important thing is to create panic and drive refugees to the north.

Their armies were spread out in various directions, and the tactics they adopted were similar, and even if they encountered a small force of resistance, they could not withstand the blows of the People's United Front.

Zhang Shigang also hopes that there will be a war, which is more likely to cause chaos, and at the same time, it will also bring actual combat experience to the army.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like when refugees from the south flocked to this narrow area of the north.

What's more, there is still a war going on in the entire northern part of the Nanban, and so many people are pouring over at once, what are you eating?

Now the Southern Barbarian State has no one engaged in production, and there is nothing but people.

As a result of the civil war in the South Barbarians, it caused great repercussions throughout the Pacific region, and it was difficult for the countries surrounding the Pacific to maintain tranquility.

The invasion of Cambodia by the Nanban army in 1978 made the Cambodian people remember it vividly and deeply hated the Nanban country.

Now that the civil war in Nanban is chaotic, some Cambodian armies are also ready to move, and an army has crossed the border and occupied a large territory in Nanban.

However, the civil war in the Southern Barbarians was in full swing, and no one could care about the encroachment of Cambodia.

In addition to Cambodia taking advantage of the civil war in the south to annex its territory, Borneo (Kalimantan Island) in the south of the Han Kingdom was also unstable.

Kalimantan Island, also translated as Borneo, is the third largest island in the world. This island is located in the middle of the Malay archipelago in Southeast Asia, bordered by Sumatra to the west, Java to the south, Sulawesi to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the South Central Sea to the north. The island covers an area of about 743,330 km2 and had a population of 12,305,000 in 1990. To the north are the Malay states of Sarawak and Sabah, and between the two states is Brunei. In the south, there are five provinces of Nisi, the north, southeast, central and western Kalimantan.

Sadly, the borders on this island of Borneo have never been finalized.

In 1963, when Sabah and Sarawak joined the Federation of Malaysia, the British government relinquished its right to rule over these areas. Without the restraint of the British, the hostile activities of the Nissi guerrillas in the border areas began.

The attacks stopped in 1966 when an agreement was reached.

Now the problem is that this time the Pacific has completely changed its face.

First of all, Borneo was squeezed southward by the vast archipelago, farther away from the Malay capital, and separated by a Han kingdom in between.

And the island of Sumatra in the country of Nisi sank, along with the government and army of this country. The island of Java and other islands have also disappeared somewhat, and the territory of Nisi has shrunk considerably. What's worse is that there is no government in Nixi for the time being.

Now, from the news broadcast in the Han Kingdom, the Nissi of Borneo know about this change, and Malay has been separated. This is a good time to annex the entire island, Borneo is the largest island, and once Borneo is united, they will have a greater say, and they can even control the entire Nisi country. Thus, the war resumed on this island.

Already sparsely populated, Borneo, the third largest island in the world, has also undergone great changes and disasters after the great changes in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in huge losses in population and area.

Of these, less than five million are now left.

The population of Malay is less than 3 million today.

Brunei is even less, with fewer than 300,000 today.

Moreover, the area is now much smaller than before, only 700,000 square kilometers.

The Malay kingdom is divided into two parts, east and west, and the Malay government is located in western Malay, which is the Malay Peninsula. There is now a vast island between East and West Malaysia, which divides the country into two, and West Malaysia is also more than 1,000 kilometers away from Borneo. The most important thing is that after the great change, the Malay navy was almost destroyed, and even if they wanted to help Borneo, they probably couldn't do anything.

The Malay Peninsula, also known as the Malacca Peninsula, is the southward extension of the Indochina Peninsula in southeastern Asia. Starting from the Kra Isthmus (in the territory of Taikoku, only 56 kilometers wide), it is about 1,100 kilometers long and 320 kilometers wide at its widest point. It covers an area of about 180,000 square kilometers. The northern part of it belongs to Taiguo and Dian-Burma, and the southern part belongs to the Malayan region of Malaysia (i.e. West Malaysia, with an area of about 131,800 square kilometers).

A 130,000-square-kilometer peninsula, even smaller than the vast island.

The war that took place in Borneo was a spontaneous action of the island, as the Nisi government disappeared with the sinking of Sumatra, and Nisi's domestic politics were still in chaos and anarchy.

The Malay government in the west, separated by the vast island of Han, does not appear to have taken any action other than a statement and a nonchalant condemnation of the border dispute over Borneo. There have been such border disputes before, which the Malays have not paid enough attention to, and most importantly, they are too far apart.

The Western Pacific is no longer at peace, and it is the great changes in the earth's crust that have upset the balance that has been created.

The emergence of the Han Kingdom was only a fuse that ignited the war in the Western Pacific.

Of course, wars are small-scale wars, and these countries are generally weak countries in the world.

Nanban is considered a regional power, and whoever asked him to provoke the Han State was beaten and unified, resulting in a military coup d'état in the country.

As for the fate of Nanban in the future, it is really difficult to say.

There was a war in Borneo, and Hao Han, the emperor of the Han Kingdom, also noticed.

Well, there are still hundreds of thousands of Han people in Borneo, and the Han Kingdom can't ignore it.

The so-called management can't directly send troops to Borneo, mainly because the power of the Han State is too small, can a population of more than 100,000 manage Borneo with a population of nearly 10 million?

Everything should be prepared for a rainy day, the Han people from Borneo have joined the Han state, and a small number of them have already joined the army, Hao Han plans to select a group of people from these people to infiltrate Borneo.

But who will lead this detachment?
