The Thunder Dragon
Summer 2014, border disputes with several of Chinas neighbours raise the tension in Asia.
Flexing its military muscles with confidence the leaders in Beijing embark upon a course that will lead to major confrontation with several states surrounding China.
The first move is against Bhutan, a small landlocked nation on Chinas southern border allied with the rival India. Fully knowing that India will rally to the aid of its ally the Chinese aim at drawing in the Indian army into the restricted terrain of Bhutan where a major defeat on the Indian forces can be inflicted. A limited, non-nuclear war, against India demonstrating the superiority of the People’s Liberation Army would secure Chinas southern border for the main goals elsewhere.
The operation against Bhutan is called Thunder Dragon.
A PLA Paratroop detachement is tasked with knocking out an Indian Mountain Brigade HQ located near the Punakha Dzong palace in north western Bhutan. Success in this mission would disorganize the forward deployed regular Indian army units in all of north western Bhutan.
