Tanks on the Mekong, Boots in Manchuria: The Path to Beijing
May 30 - June 17, 2029
On June 6, Laos collapsed after 19 division belonging to Laos and Shina were surrounded in Savannakhet on the Mekong River by several hundred Nippon Type-10 tanks and IFVs. Already shot from weeks of heavy fighting, the surrounded Laotian and Shinese soldiers surrendered. Laos, having lost its capital of Vientiane, took the news poorly and surrendered soon after.
Approximately a week-and-a-half later, North Korea surrendered after holding out with several divisions supported by Shinese troops in the North Pyongan province. After Nippon seized Pyongyang in late January, her armored divisions broke through Nork defensive lines and surged across the North Korean countryside up to the Chagang Mountains.
Several Nippon armored divisions then crossed the Nork-Shina border and continued north into Manchuria before finally coming into contact with Shina forces outside Harbin. All total, 32 armored divisions have participated in the North Korean-Manchurian offensive. With North Korea surrendering, operations have momentarily paused as Nippon plans further operations west into Manchuria to eventually assault Beijing.
The Shinese Air Force has resisted strongly against Nippon air intrusion into Manchuria. Already both sides have lost hundreds of planes, with Shina losing a fewer number. Daily sorties by Nippon CAS is a common sight.
For now, Nippon’s momentum is unquestioned, but the cost of continued air and ground warfare will be high. The ultimate goal of Beijing draws closer, but the final victory remains uncertain, though it is much closer than it was two months ago.
