Over the northeastern border of Bukgang Province in northern Manchuria (60 km southwest of Khabarovsk)

The 60 CC-1000TSP transport planes that took off first from the southern provinces passed through the northern provinces at a speed of Mach 2 and entered the skies of the northern provinces of northern Manchuria. Naturally, 20 CF-21P Zhujak fighters were escorted in the air in the CC-1000TSP transport plane, and 24 CEA-27PS Bungsae Electronic Planes, recently developed exclusively for electronic jamming, flew together in four directions, emitting powerful electromagnetic waves to the air defense of the Russian Air Force and Ground Forces. The radar network was disabled.

Currently, there were a total of 24 CEA-27PS electronic warfare units operated by the ROC Air Force. In other words, it could be seen that all electronic warplanes were put into action for this operation.

The reason for doing this was due to Russia's air defense power being up to par with the US and Corea.

Currently, Russia had the S-400 Triumph, which was said to be capable of intercepting various S-300 grumble series and stealth fighters, as well as low-altitude cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles, and the S-500 Triumfator-M, which had been deployed to combat in 2020, in all directions. defended the Russian airspace. Also, according to Hyanggan's intelligence news, a next-generation anti-aircraft missile under the model name of S-600 was developed and deployed to several air defense units. The Joint Chiefs of Staff decided to activate the CC-1000TSP transport aircraft's stealth function and SECM (Radio Disruption System), but it was intended to ensure safety as much as possible. Eight CEA-27P electronic and electric aircraft, which emitted quantum waves powerful enough to temporarily disable the Russian anti-aircraft radar, reached the airspace target of Khabarovsk.

Fortunately, the Russian air defense unit stationed in Khabarovsk was affected by quantum waves and the anti-aircraft radar was cut off. In response, a red light was turned on inside the CC-1000TSP military transport aircraft and an in-flight broadcast was played.

"After the next 10 minutes, airborne. All crew members and paratroopers of the Airborne Strike Division should be checked for the last time!" the transport plane crew repeated the same words over and over again in the air.

The soldiers of the Airborne Strike Division, who boarded various armored vehicles and console armored vehicles, waited with a nervous expression, perhaps because it was an actual situation than just training.

After a while, the voice of the crew member airlifting officer came again over the in-flight broadcasting network: "Forward five minutes to airlift, five minutes to airlift, rear hatch open!"

The tank operators of the First Platoon, Second Company, Third Tank Battalion, who control C-five Gaion tanks belonging to the 31st Airborne Strike Division, sat in the chairs of the 211 Console Armored Vehicle, wore the X Peninsula belt, and listened to the in-flight broadcast with an anxious expression.

"Ah! I really hate this!" Sergeant Lee Jeong-hyeon, the highest senior in the First Platoon, clenched the X Peninsula belt with both hands and swore.

"Me too. Doesn't this make you feel bad?" his immediate successor, Sergeant Kim Jin-han, responded.

The waiting time between the airlift preliminary broadcast and the actual airlift was the most tense and anxious time for them.

"I feel it all the time, but it is the kind of tension that you feel when you stand at the starting line for the 100m run at an athletic meet when you were young waiting for the starting gunshot, isn't it?"

"Haha, that's how I feel. Oh right, Private Yoo Sang-rok!"

"Yes, sergeant!"

"Just like during our training last time, if you come down to the ground and overtime, you will die. Okay?"

"All right."

"Oh! When I think of the trouble with the smell..."

"What? In the past, after training in karate and doing overtime, the kids crave for it."

"Oh, isn't that the time when the young soldiers were privates, only a month after being assigned to the squadron?"

"Whether as a private or a trainee, you dis the same thing! Anyway, don't crave it! Don't you know that this isn't even a military weapon?"

At this time, the final announcement of the in-flight broadcast came from the airlift operator.

"1 minute before airlift... 30 seconds before airlift... 10 seconds before airlift..."

The rear hatch of the 112th CC-1000TSP military transport aircraft carrying tank operators of the 1st Platoon began to slowly open. And when the hatch was fully opened, the locking device began to disengage from the tank closest to the soft hatch.

Shudder! Shudder!

"Unlock! Airborne start!"

At the cry of the Airlift Management Officer, the gear-shaped rails at the bottom of the transport plane turned all at once. Then it slowly moved backwards from the first Gaion tank that had unlocked. Then the hatches began to fall one after another into the open air.

As all eight Gaion unmanned tanks fell, this time the Console Armored Vehicle No. 211 moved along the rail to the hatch, and soon separated from the rail of the transport plane and fell to the ground at a frightening speed.

"Ahh!"

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ugh!"

"Help me!"

From the inside of the console armored car No. 211, strange screams came from here and there. Falling on something was literally dozens of times more frightening than jumping off a plane with a real parachute. Tanks falling from transport planes like candy one after another began to deploy large parachutes. Naturally, the men in the console armored car No. 211 also screamed once again as the speed of the fall momentarily decreased as the large parachute was unfolded.

"Ningiri!"

"Ughhhhh!"

"Agh!"

A few minutes later, various armored vehicles and unmanned tanks belonging to the 31st Airborne Strike Division spread large parachutes and descended on Khabarovsk, where there was no moonlight or even a single starlight due to thick dark clouds. Even though it was a large parachute, the falling speed was faster than expected because of the weight of several tens of tons.

But the speed was not a problem. All armored vehicles and unmanned tanks of the 31st Airborne Strike Division were equipped with a hover system.

After falling to a certain altitude from the ground, the hover engines of the armored vehicles and unmanned tanks were automatically activated, which resulted in a sharp drop in the speed of their fall. And when it reached the bottom, the four lower hover engines raised their maximum output. Then, the giraffe armored car started flying in hover mode while smoothly transitioning from vertical to horizontal.

Although such a stable airlift was completed, the crew members and combat crews in the armored car were getting motion sickness due to the roaring noise and nausea even after repeated training. It was like riding on a multi-kilometer free-drop ride.

The 31st Airborne Strike Division, which completed the first airlift, entered into a strike mission against major targets by battalion.

The main tasks of the 31st Airborne Strike Division were to occupy the main government offices of Khabarovsk and to clear out the reserve forces stationed there. As a result, giraffe armored vehicles flying several meters high flew along the road spread out in all directions. Cars and other facilities on the road could not be a hindrance to the Giran armored vehicle flying several meters above the ground.

Woo woo woo woo! Woo woo woo woo!

At the appearance of an unidentified figure flying along the road from a few meters in the sky with a magnificent engine sound, the citizens of Khabarovsk were cheering at first, but when they saw the Taegeukgi flag, they realized that they were Corean soldiers, and they started running away in confusion.

However, some masculine Russian men fired their pistols or rifles at the passing giraffe armored vehicles. But it was more due to panic than courage. What returned to them was the suppressive fire of the fierce 12mm laser Vulcan beam. The laser beam that flew for several seconds turned them into abominable chunks of meat that could not be considered human forms. The 31st Airborne Strike Division's armored vehicles fired twice or three times more retaliatory fire against targets that were even the slightest threat. As a result, gunfire continued throughout the city of Khabarovsk, and large and small explosions occurred in succession. That signified the beginning of "Operation Exterminate the Triangle" in Khabarovsk.

Mingang River (65th Light Armored Infantry Division (Sunset) Defense Line) at the southern end of Gangjin (Hulunbeyer) City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture

Despite the murderous weather, down to -20 degrees Celsius, about 100 armored vehicles belonging to the Armored Vehicle Brigade of the 36th Motorized Infantry Division of Russia performed zigzag maneuvers through a blizzard. It was hard to see even an inch ahead. Every time a heavy armored car passed by, the frozen riverbed cracked and cracked. As a result, the armored vehicles stumbled and fell into the mud, but they quickly escaped and continued to maneuver.

Kuung! Clang!

As about 100 armored vehicles entered with harsh engine noises, the 101st Battalion light armored infantrymen waiting for orders to attack from superior units across the Min River watched with bated breath. At this time, the command of the battalion commander was issued to each company commander.

"This is the battalion commander. Enemy armored vehicles are currently crossing the river. Even the tanks in the rear will attack when they enter the city. According to the command of the regiment commander, the company commanders are instructed to check the charge line once again for each platoon"

"3rd Company! Note that you have been admitted!"

"4th Company! Note that you have been admitted!"

"5th Company! Note that you have been admitted!"

"Medium Company! Notice of admission!"

As the 550th Armored Vehicle Brigade entered the middle of the river, the 551st Armored Brigade following from the rear slowly began preparing for Doha, and a search tank company directly discounted by the brigade quickly entered Doha.

Kuung! Clang!

Twelve T-14 Arma Tanks from the Reconnaissance Tank Company entered the Mingang River at high speed, breaking the frozen ice and moving forward. However, it jumped forward without a problem because of the frozen mud due to the cold weather at minus 20 degrees Celsius. As the tanks of the Reconnaissance Tank Company crossed without any problems, the tanks of the 551st Armored Brigade, who were watching from the riverbank, also entered Doha one after the other.

According to the Russian General Staff, in the operation of the 29th Army's crossing of the Mingang River, due to the sudden cold weather, some of the staff said that they had to suspend the operation today due to the malfunction of various equipment and health of the soldiers and that they were to cross the river again when the weather changed for the better. However, the Chief of the General Staff, Vladimir Beshastnich, on the contrary, immediately issued the order to cross the river.

The reason was that it was determined that riverbeds frozen by the cold weather could help them to pass quickly. The judgment was excellent. Although some tanks and armored vehicles had problems with the cold, it was an excellent opportunity for the entire unit to cross quickly. In fact, when the Russian General Staff established the invasion operation to bypass the 29th Army into Mongolian territory, there was a major concern. There were several rivers blocking the front of each vacuum furnace. However, the biggest worry had been resolved by this sudden, severe cold.

LF Apartment (#1103), Jamsilbon-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, Namju

Namgoong-won, who returned from the funeral home only after midnight, was tired. He washed up and laid down next to Lee Hye-Jin, who was sleeping on the bed.

"Huh! You're home?"

"You haven't slept?"

Awakened by the rustling sound, Manager Lee Hye-jin hugged Namgoong-won, who was lying next to her, and whispered, "You did a good job today!"

"Thanks. Is your leg okay, by the way? I was busy today."

"It's okay. As soon as I got home, I put ice on it."

"That's good. Let's sleep."

"Yeah."

Namgoong-won, with his eyes closed, remembered the conversation he had with Director Ahn Yeon-woo during the day. That was why he couldn't sleep easily. He tossed and turned a few times, but in the end, he woke Hye-jin.

"Jin, are you awake?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Ah. I have something to say."

"Say it."

"Oh, no. Let's talk in the morning."

"What? Let's talk now."

"Hmm… The thing is...," Namgoong-won talked in detail about Professor Woo Jin-gil's suicide, the leak of plasma core technology, and the request for his reinstatement.

"Won, really?"

"Yeah, I thought he died in a simple accident, but that's what happened..."

With the exception of some, those who had heard of the news of Professor Woo Jin-gil's death thought that the cause of death was a sudden heart attack while traveling in Thailand.

"So, I mean, shall I go back to work?"

"Well, I don't mind, but what about your business?"

"That's what I'm worried about. It's a company that has just begun to grow, and now, I have to step away. That's why I wanted to discuss with you."

"Won! Just get back to work! The company has a professional CEO and I will also participate in the management of the company myself."

"Huh? You?"

"I was hurt this time and I am quite worried about going back to work. I think it's not time for me to get back to work yet. Also, shouldn't we try to conceive, too?" Manager Lee Hye-jin's face turned red.

"Ah! A baby! That's right. Haha, but will you not regret leaving the NIS, which you think is your calling?"

"Yeah, but I'm not retiring. Just taking a long leave."

"Ah! Long leave! But if you're not pregnant yet, can you give that as a reason for a long-term leave?"

"Well, you can make a deal with Director Ahn for your reinstatement!"

"Haha, after all, our brains are extraordinary!"

"So, tell me you're going back to work tomorrow! You have to make them pay for Professor Woo's unfair death, right?"

"Yeah, just like you said, we need to catch those heinous men who tormented Professor Wu."

In an instant, his troubles were resolved, and Namgoong-won looked down at Manager Lee Hye-jin, who was burying her face in his chest. He then hugged her tightly with his arms and said, "Jin, shall we start working now to have a baby?"

"Ah! What? Disgusting!"

"Let's have a baby!"

"Not now!"
