Chapter 410: Season 2 – Part 16 The Second Northeast Asian War! – 5-1 Triangle Annihilation Operation!
November 26, 2023 01:30, B2 bunker, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Namju (Korea Armed Forces Joint Command and Control Center Situation Room). At the time when the ‘Operation Triangle Annihilation’, the prelude to the counterattack, had just begun, the atmosphere in the situation room of the Joint Command and Control Center at the Joint Chiefs of Staff was even more encouraging.

At present, the rear of the main air force of the fifth Army was occupied by the four airborne strike divisions of the second Rapid Response Army, and neighboring cities, including Khabarovsk, were occupied one after another. It is safe to say that this has laid the groundwork for the ‘Operation to annihilate the Triangle’.

“The Strategic Missile Forces Command says that five missile brigades have completed all preparations and are on standby!”

“In the Aerospace Force, both Zeus Interceptor Satellites five and six are waiting for orders in a fixed orbit.”

The strategic missile force, which is the core force that will unleash strong firepower in this “triangle annihilation operation,” and the aerospace force, which will intercept retaliatory missile attacks, have just uploaded a report on the completion of final preparations in the situation room. Upon receiving the report, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong crossed his arms and posed additional questions while keeping his gaze fixed on the main screen.

“What about the 20th Division?” The Chief of Operations immediately answered the question of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“Currently, the routes of the 81st SS Panzer Division and the 70th Motorized Infantry Division are clearly blocking the route.”

“Would there be any problems during the operation?” “Isn’t it the strongest decisive unit that ranks first in the Korean combat ranks? Chairman!” Lieutenant General Yang Min-chun, who was also a former corps commander of the seventh Mobile Corps, to which the 20th Panzer Division (decisive battle) belonged, responded back before being appointed as the commander of the operations headquarters.

“great! As of the present time, the operation to annihilate the triangle begins. Tell all units participating in the operation to start the operation as planned in advance.” “all right.”When the final order of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was issued, the operators in charge of communications in the Situation Room were momentarily busy. He informed the unit he was in charge of of the start of the ‘Operation to annihilate the Triangle’. In response, all launch vehicles of the five missile brigades belonging to the Strategic Missile Forces, which were standing by with various launchers at right angles, fired various tactical ballistic missiles simultaneously in Northern Manchuria and various parts of Northern Province. First, in northern Manchuria, more than 100 Hyunmoo-1E2 tactical ballistic missiles, short-range tactical ballistic missiles with a range of 500 km, burst into the sky in succession, bursting with blue flames. Then, about 100 Hyunmoo-2E2 tactical ballistic missiles with a range of 1,500 km were simultaneously fired in the northern provinces. Both of the 200 or so missiles were dual-purpose diffuse plasma bombs, and they were powerful firepower capable of sweeping away not only the area where the fifth Army’s main unit was currently in operation, but also the artillery units, air defense units, and various support units waiting in the rear at once. .

In addition, 40 Hyunmoo-3E2-A cruise missiles with a range of 1,000 km flew in the northeast direction at an altitude of 100 m, maintaining a speed of Mach 2.5. The target of this cruise missile is the 20th Guards Rocket Brigade belonging to the fifth Army, which has been detected using various reconnaissance forces including the CS-SS Apollo reconnaissance satellite, and the 319th Independent Helicopter Regiment, which secretly moved to a temporary base before the outbreak of the war. Meanwhile, Zeus Interceptor Satellites two and three were in geostationary orbit 36,000 km above central Russia, and Zeus Interceptor Satellites five and six were prepared to intercept and waited in anticipation of a Russian missile retaliatory attack over Siberia.

The two countries, which had struggled with only their army power for a day after the outbreak of the war, now indicated that the war had begun in earnest with the Republic of Korea’s tactical ballistic missile attack.

After Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ordered the operation to start, the busy situation room heated up with reports from the communications operator and the operator reporting the operation progress in real time. But in the situation room, tension was weighing down as heavily as the rising heat.

November 26, 2023 01:30,

29km northeast of Bukpyeong (Hongchikun) City, Bukgang Province, North Manchuria (121st Panzer Division).

The 121st Armored Division, which operates the latest Russian equipment, was previously part of the 10th Mechanized Army, but was temporarily formed into the fifth Army for this war and took on the task of the main force in the vanguard. As a result, the 121st Panzer Division, which had moved at maximum speed and advanced up to 86 km from the border, received orders from the Russian General Staff to return to Khabarovsk and defend the airborne ROK forces, and was in a state of retreat. “What the hell is this command? To go back to Khabarovsk after seeing the main force of the vanguard, you pathetic people hiding in the bunker and chatting with each other…”

When the order was first received, Lieutenant General Dritry Alenichev, commander of the 121st Panzer Division, said he would continue to vacuum. However, the orders of the General Staff did not change. He repeated the order to immediately retreat and defend Khabarovsk. Dissatisfied with this order, Lieutenant General Dritri Alenichev continued to curse at the General Staff with an uneasy expression on his face. “That’s it. You don’t seem to know that the field commander’s judgment is more accurate. If we had continued to vacuum like this, we would have been able to put our divisional flag into the target, Jangbuk (Jamusu). The division commander, Colonel Serkei Semak, chimed in with a vague dream. At this, Lieutenant General Dri Trialenichev, who was only swearing from the command armored car, turned his head and asked. “What are the other units doing now?”

“Yes, the 59th and 60th divisions, which were vacuuming together, switched from their current positions to defensive tactics, and the remaining 4 mobilization divisions and 57th divisions are also on standby while maintaining their current positions.”

Colonel Serkei Semac answered simply and clearly. “What about the 81st and 23rd divisions attacking from the southern tip?” “We received a call saying that we had now made a major detour and turned to the northernmost room. This, I think the 81st Division will lose our ball.” At the words of the operation officer, Lieutenant General Dritri Alenichev’s expression became even more serious. Among Russian generals, Lieutenant General Dritry Alenichev, who is evaluated as excellent in strategy and tactics, had one fatal flaw. It was a clear subjective feeling, and he had a strong obsession with the ball because he had a strong desire for success. “right! No matter how you think about it, this is a mistake in the judgment of the General Staff. Give orders to each brigade commander, and the division headquarters and the 2nd and 3rd brigades are converted to vacuum formation again from their current positions! Khabarovsk only deploys one brigade.”

“Okay, are you okay? Disobeying the orders of the General Staff…”

Colonel Serkei Semac, who had been blowing the wind from the side, noticed and opened his mouth carefully. “Who is breaking the orders? From my point of view, just one brigade in Khabarovsk would be enough to recapture and defend, don’t you think?”

“Ah! no. I just, because of orders “I am responsible for that. Give orders immediately.” “all right. Commander!”

The commander, Colonel Serkei Semak, mourned in his heart, and then delivered the commander’s command to the signalman.

As much as Lieutenant General Dritri Alenichev, the division commander, Colonel Serkei Semak, the commander of the division, had a strong desire to advance and was obsessed with the ball. In any case, when the division commander said that he was responsible, he was released from responsibility, and the way was opened for him to play the ball again without worrying about it, which is why he called for joy in his heart. After some time, only the 1st Panzer Brigade of the 121st Panzer Division, which moved 57 km from Khabarovsk, continued to move to Khabarovsk, while the rest of the division headquarters and the two panzer brigades turned again. It was quite a time consuming task for the entire division to change direction and back to vacuum and defensive tactics. Meanwhile, in the sky, about 200 tactical ballistic missiles and 40 cruise missiles fired by five missile brigades belonging to the Republic of Korea Strategic Missile Forces ascended to the altitude take-over point toward the relevant strike point and then gradually lowered the altitude. Unfortunately, the point where the 121st Panzer Division stopped maneuvering and changed direction again was also included in the hitting point of the tactical ballistic missile.

If they continued to return to Khabarovsk according to the order of the General Staff, they could have escaped the crisis to some extent from the tactical ballistic missile attack, but due to the division commander’s mistaken judgment, the remaining 121st Panzer Division, except for the 1st Panzer Brigade, was a victim of powerful dual-purpose diffuse plasma bombs. I made my way down the road.

While the maneuvers were stopped and all subordinate units were changing directions, suddenly, a communication such as a Korean tactical ballistic missile attack came from the General Staff.

“Ah! This is an emergency communication from the General Staff. It is information that dozens of ballistic missiles are currently flying into this area.” “Hey, at a time like this?” Lieutenant General Dritry Alenichev’s mind went dark while receiving a report on the progress of the change of direction from the subordinate units in the command armored vehicle.

Should we switch to Khabarovsk again, or should we disperse our subordinate units for tactical ballistic missile attacks? However, despite being an excellent strategic and tactical commander, he was not able to make a quick judgment due to a hasty judgment mistake.

“How do I do this? Commander! Shall I order you to immediately start an evasive maneuver?” Commander Colonel Serkei Semac said in an urgent voice. “Did the coordinates of the missile strike point come out?”

“Currently, we are receiving information from the General Staff. Please wait a moment.” Simultaneously with the answer, Colonel Serkei Semak fixed his gaze on the screen of his monitor. And after a while, when the coordinates of the hitting point of the tactical ballistic missile were expressed, it was communicated to the division commander in a voice close to a scream. “Ah! A total of 28 missiles are currently falling in our division area.” “28 feet? What type of ballistic missile?”

“All 28 shots turned out to be Hyunmoo-2E2 missiles! Oh! The infamous dual-purpose diffuse plasma bomb.”

It has been known to the Russian military that the power of a dual-purpose proliferation plastan is four to six times that of a normal missile.

“Are you sure it’s a dual-purpose cluster munition? All subordinate units immediately switch to evasive maneuvers and tell them to get out of the hitting point!” At the same time as the urgent command of the division commander was issued, the commander, Colonel Serkei Semak, took the communicator and issued the order directly.

“All units! Currently, the Korean military’s tactical ballistic missiles are flying. Subordinate units must immediately start an evasive maneuver to get out of their current position!” All subordinate units of the 121st Panzer Division, which were changing direction under the command of the operation officer, were shocked by the overturned order, and immediately went into a state of chaos and each started an evasive maneuver to live as a battalion unit. This riot also occurred in all units of the remaining fifth Army. After switching to defensive tactics and waiting, he received a sudden ballistic missile attack warning and started an emergency evasion maneuver to get out of the hit point.

Meanwhile, the eighth Air Defense Brigade, the only air defense unit under the direct control of the fifth Army, started the procedure to intercept a tactical ballistic missile that was scheduled to arrive shortly thereafter. The eighth Air Defense Brigade operated the S-400 Triumph. The S-400 Triumph can detect up to 300 targets for cruise missiles as well as ballistic missiles at a distance of 700 km using high-power radar, and the maximum trackable target is 70. The computer determines the priority of the intercept by the type, course, and speed of the target, and automatically assigns 24 targets to the launch vehicle under the control and enters the intercept. The 48 launch vehicles belonging to the 8th Air Defense Brigade, which can complete the interception procedure within 5 minutes of moving and operate quadruple missile launchers for each launch vehicle, have already erected the launch pad vertically and waited only to enter within the interceptable range. In addition to the 8th Air Defense Brigade equipped with the 48N6E2 (NATO name: SA-21 Growler) surface-to-air missile, which is said to have the longest range among missile types, the air defense units of each division operating the S-300 also completed the intercept procedure and were waiting for the interception point..
