With a huge blast,

an explosion scene appeared at Tamsui River estuary No.

12. The blast sent up a spray of water,

as the Han Kuang 40 exercise entered its fourth day.

The combat readiness level was raised to emergency operations.

The armed forces simulated PLA troops charging straight into the

Tamsui River estuary.

They followed the river channel deep into Greater Taipei.

Attempting to cause harm to the capital region.

So the Army 53rd Engineer Group urgently drilled river- channel blocking.

Strengthening riverbank defense at the Tamsui River estuary.

M3 amphibious rigs went into the water,

moving along the river surface to raise three lines of defense.

They separately deployed fishing- net buoys, oil drums,

and floating platforms combined with iron frameworks to form a blocking chain.

During the process,

a Capricorn UAV reconnoitered river activity from the air. CM- 11 tanks were also on

alert along the riverbank. Strings of gasoline barrels

filled with gas and explosives had already been laid on the Tamsui River surface.

Troops piloted assault boats to blow up four floating platforms in succession.

The blasts produced

huge explosions on site and also drew the attention of nearby anglers.

Did you feel it was really shocking, seeing that just now? Yeah, it was shocking.

Since the Tamsui River estuary is only about eight kilometers from Guandu Bridge.
