OOC: My claim on Brunei. Earth II.
IC:
Overview
At precisely four o clock, 5th December 2004, an aircraft carrier, three destroyers, and two cruisers of the Soviet Navy blockaded all ports in the tiny nation of Brunei and the Soviet Government based in Kuala Lumpur demanded the immediate surrender of all Bruneian Forces within two hours.
Chief of State of Brunei, Sir Hassanal Bolkiah, called the deployment of all Bruneian forces, including reserves. The Surrender Treaty was thrown out the window by an angry Bruneian Prime Minister. Around 60,000 infantry, 250 tanks, and 50 Artillery were mobilised, but conditions were rushed and when the Soviet-Malaysians hit the next day, the Bruneian Forces were smashed to pieces by calculated Mortar fire supported by waves of armoured units.
A Look at Soviet Tactics in Brunei
On the western border, at 6:30 in the morning, 5th December, when a good deal of the Bruneian troops were sleeping, a pheonix awakened. Around three hundred, both high and low calibre mortars opened up on the border between Brunei and Sarawak. The Bruneians were caught with their pants down as shells rained down on their "fortified" positions. As they grabbed their helmets and rifles, the shocked Bruneian Reservists peered out of their foxholes and bunkers, to see a line of Malaysian T80U Tanks rumbling towards their positions. The hastily trained Reservists had no idea how to deal with an armoured assault - within twenty minutes Mechanised Infantry and Tank Squadrons were rounding up shell-shocked Bruneian conscripts. Casualties were next to none. However, a veteran Anti Tank unit had knocked out several of the Hogsweat T80's - their positions were covered with mortar fire, putting the AT guns and their crews out of action. The quick push past the border was met with dedicated Bruneian resistance - however, the M1 Abrams tanks were undermanned and the again hastily trained recruits were unsure of how to fight against trained and experienced tankists. Many were knocked out of action as the beleagured Bruneian tanks and infantry alike retreated to the capital, the Malaysian Mechanised and Armoured Companies hot on their heels. Once the capital had been reached, it was promptly surrounded as the artillery units followed up. Another surrender ultimatum was given, and the Bruneian Prime Minister agreed, and the remaining Bruneian forces were spared as the once free nation merged into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics..
