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.
