Battle of Bunge Land

* Anzhu Islands and the New Siberian Islands incorporated into Chemgotan control and administration

The **Battle of Bunge Land** (Romanised Russian: Bitva pri Zemle Bunge) was a decisive and pivotal battle which was apart of the wider Arctic Circle campaign of the Chemgotan War of Independence, fought from August 24 until October 2 2034, the battle was largely focused around the Bunge Land portion of the Anzhu Islands archipelago located within the New Siberian Islands chain. The battle was fought between the Chemgotan Defence Force and the Russian Armed Forces, the Chemgotan Marine Corps spearheaded the invasion of the Bunge Land along with other ground based assets of the Chemgotan Defence Force, the Chemgotan Air and Naval Force completely encircled and besieged Bunge Land along with the surrounding archipelago, with some Russian Naval assets remaining in order to dislodge the blockade of Bunge Land. Prior to the staging of the invasion operation by Chemgotan forces, the Russian military maintained a military installation within Bunge Land and several more installations within the New Siberian Islands, these posed as a threat towards Chemgotan ambitions in the north, these bases were also important with supplying the Russian forces in the north through the means of air and naval transport to maintain logistical support and supplementation towards the Russian military forces, as the Russian forces began to be routed and defeated by the Chemgotan offensives, the Russian remnants retreated to the New Siberian Islands and began heavily fortifying the island, predicting that a Chemgotan amphibious operation would be launched in order to retake the islands from Russian control and occupation, As such, the Chemgotan Defence Force amassed a invasion force located at the rural settlement of Yukagir, the invasion force was led by the Chemgotan Marine and Airborne Corps in which the Chemgotan forces landed at the southernmost portion of Bunge Land and with airborne forces landing forces across the New Siberian Islands.

Following the landings onto Bunge Land, the Chemgotans forces managed to secure various beachheads and landing zones which were secured and fortified by the Chemgotan forces, shortly afterwards the Chemgotans struggled to initially take the defences established by the Russian forces in Bunge Land, the terrain of the region was also largely flat and open leading to many Chemgotans to be cut down by heavy and fierce fire from the Russian defenders along with being shelled by enemy howitzers and some AFVs positioned to aid in the defence of the region, however eventually with a joint combined arms assault against the Russian positions, the Russian defences eventually were broken through by the Chemgotan attackers, this led to the Russian forces to eventually lose the battle but the Russian soldiers remained defiant and continued to fight until the eventual capture and elimination of the majority of Russian forces within the general proximity within the region of Bunge Land along with the surrounding Anzhu Islands. The Chemgotan forces managed to secure important stockpiles and equipment from the Russian garrisons on the island such as advanced missile systems and ballistic missile platforms which were capable of launching nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, being heavily favourable to change the tide of the conflict. The Chemgotans used the newly seized equipment to attack the remainder of the Russian Navy's Arctic Fleet within the Laptev Sea.
