Cut a Swath of Destruction*
*
Battle Location: Tien Yen, Quang Ninh province, Vietnam*
*
Battle Type: China advance vs Vietnam  delay*
*
*
Description: War has broken out between China and a number of her neighbors sparked by skirmishes in the waters near Taiwan.*
*
Following Vietnamese political support and indirect military aid to some of Chinas enemies a punitive invasion of Vietnam is launched.*
*
Similar to the 1979 invasion of the same region the intensity of the fighting quickly escalates and brings forward the age old animosity between the two nations. A brutal, unforgiving battle develops where no quarter is shown.*
*
Ordered to cut a swath of destruction through the Northern parts of Vietnam in order to bring the leadership in Hanoi to its knees the PLA advances with little or no regard for civilians or the laws of war.*
*
The Vietnamese fight them every step of the way but are unable to stop the invasion.*
*
At Tien Yen, a small town influenced by the French colonial past, a mix of Vietnamese regular army and militia make a stand. Chinese point elements assault the town, their force including a handful of their most modern tanks, very rare units on the Vietnamese battlefield.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Chinese side. *
