Swath of Destruction
Vietnamese political support and indirect military aid to some of the enemies of China leads to a punitive Chinese invasion of northern Vietnam.
Simliar to the 1979 invasion this time around the battle quickly ignites the age old hostility between the two nations.
A brutal battle develops, a massive grudge match.
At the small vietnamses town of Tien Yen, Vietnamse regulars and militia forces make a stand. The PLA force assaulting the town is ordered to grind the defenders into the ground.
