Intelligence reports alerted us to the fact that several of the DPRK front-line airbases were coming back online. Immediately, missions were dispatched to attack their runways and facilities. An unanticipated massed assualt by the DPRK airforce caught these missions in the air, resulting in severe losses. The airforce then had to scramble a series of emergency sweep missions to try and hold back the enemy attacks and deplete their forces.
Although we lost eight or nine aircraft in the savage battles that followed, we were able to give worse than we got, downing over twenty enemy aircraft.
Strike missions were finally able to reach and disable two of the front-line enemy airbases, while our advancing troops are close to capturing a third, on the west coast.
The main body of the enemy ground forces are still trapped in a pocket in the central highlands, through strategic strikes cutting off key bridges. Apache, Cobra and A-10 squadrons have been activated to attack and deplete the trapped forces before they can stage a breakout. Meanwhile, the naval F-18s continue to provide much-needed BARCAP support.
However, at midnight on day 2, a representative of the People's Republic of China announced that:
"they were no longer able to stand aside and ignore the capitalist west's atempt to suppress the popular uprising of the Korean people. As such a group of volunteer pilots from the PRC have joined the DPRK in an advisory capacity."
Intelligence reports that 11 squadrons of PRC Su-27 aircraft stationed just north of the DPRK border have been placed on alert, and it is anticipated that they will be engaged in offensive operations within the next 12-24 hours.
