Chapter 537: The Future King of France
The Russian Army had pushed beyond the boundaries of Pyongyang. After liberating the city, they left behind reserve units to occupy and stabilize it.
Logistics flowed in like lifeblood; food, medicine, and water handed out to civilians as if in the throes of a fire sale.
The frontline units that had seized the city were rotated out, given a brief reprieve after a brutal campaign.
Meanwhile, the Russian Air Force surged forward, clashing in the skies above the port city of Ongjin.
Bf-109s ripped through waves of Japanese Ki-21 bombers and Ki-27 fighters. Airborne troops followed, parachuting down amid the shattered clouds of war.
Japanese soldiers on the ground fought with resolve and ferocity, but the Russian onslaught, like a steel tide under a sky of fire, proved overwhelming.
The Imperial Japanese Army and its Air Service simply could not match the combination of superior equipment and doctrine employed by the Russian war machine.
Back in Tokyo, it became increasingly clear: the Japanese had grossly overestimated the strength of their modern arsenal. And they were not alone in their miscalculation.
Around the globe, observers watched with growing unease as Germany and Russia executed perfectly synchronized theaters of war.
Germany annihilating Japanese forces in the Bismarck Sea, while Russia carved a path through the Korean Peninsula. It was not merely victory. It was a masterclass in joint warfare.
