The Beijing Times November 20th, 1828
The Noble War continued in earnest this month with significant casualties inflicted upon the Canuckis. The 1st Air Cavalry Division, infamous and feared for its fighting prowess and swift attacks, dealt a further blow in the northern front, annihilating a large reserve force that was headed towards Hamilton, in combination with close air support from the 4th Air Division, which suffered minor casualties from mobile SA-14s.
Captured prisoners said they were attempting to reinforce that position when the air cav ambushed them along the border. During the attack three work outfits were also taken prisoner, crippling reconstruction efforts after months of blistering strikes against infrastructure in the region. The air cav spokesman announced "we're dead set on taking Hamilton by Christmas, and nothing can stop us now. Then it's on to their capital!" The mood was ecstatic in the 1AC's headquarters.
Limited casualties were taken by the air cav in the attacks. All battalions report ready for further operations.
In the Quebec front, further bombardment of Quebec City was in order. Unfortunately the entire 288th Bomb Wing was shot down by Canucki air defenses, but allied troops continued to press forward, flanking the city on both sides. The entire 1st Infantry and 1st Armored Divisions are now on the attack, with elements of the Royal Armored leading the way. There was no word on when the final push would commence.
"It will be a bloody affair," said General Sun, "and we're waiting for our air power to break them as much as possible before sending our boys up their front steps. But I guarantee you that when we do go in, we're going to take that city and dominate, just dominate."
Public sentiment is still strongly in favor of the war. The president and top military officials have promised to keep casualties low, and continue to punish the Canuckis for their serious violations.
A growing rumor has it that the Canucki leader may have died at some point in the past months, although there is no clear information out of the empire. Talk of a successor has also been in the air, although no one here is sure what is happening on the other side of the war.
In other war news, Lieutenant General Wu Wenbao, head of military production, commissioned five new armored battalions and three all new marine battalions. These new forces are said to be just the right answer to Canucki defenses. Wu said, "they're just crazy, it's as simple as that. Show them a fortified position with dug in gunners and artillery and they'll rip through it like it wasn't there. They have no restraint, no fear. They're the next step in Chinese ground forces. They have no weakness either. They're pure chaos."
He grinned in a way that makes you glad he's on the Chinese side.
