The Battle for the Xinfeng Bay

## Advance of the 5th Liberation Army

So on the dawn of March 5th 1923 the 5th Liberation Army led by Colonel Zhe Lei Fu was ordered by Zaoja Tengfei Ying to advance to the Xinfeng Bay because the most of the supplies to Ashikanuga come form that bay. So they marched on and they also brought with them some KT-35 tanks. When they reached the town of Xinfeng that was close to the Bay they spotted Ashiknuga soldiers that were headed to the town, they estimated 780K strong, with many artillery pieces, and the Ashikanuga tanks such as the JT-55, which is a light tank with a 2 light MG's. So seeing this the 5th Liberation Army immediately started to evacuate to the Huije forest near the town. Once the 5th Liberation Army had evacuated without being detected they hid in the forest and set up camp.

## Skirmish on the Huije Forest

The Ashikanuga Troops (Jeguggun Nr 25 and Jeguggun Nr 16) were in the town and were settled in, until a scouting party of 50 soldiers scouted the forest were they were discovered by PRZ Raiding Company 7233 of 300 Soldiers. When the PRZ Raiders found them the PRZ immediately opened fired. And the scouting party had to retreat but Huije Forest was nearly impossible to traverse so they had to hold their ground. After 20 Minutes of fighting the Scouting party called Jeguggun Nr 25 and Jeguggun Nr 16 with radios. When the Ashikanuga scouts had sent the message all of them had been killed. So immediately after that Jeguggun Nr 25 and Jeguggun Nr 16 started their trek to Huije forest. The PRZ had heard of this so they quickly began to advance to the Ashikanuga troops.

## Battle for Xinfeng Bay

The Ashikanuga Troops met the PRZ troops on mountainous terrain, and there was also a blizzard and since the battle had taken place in Xinfeng Bay the blizzard was more intense because Xinfeng is a region known as the most snowy region in Zordworks. The blizzard froze some troops while fighting. The fighting mainly took place on 3 locations. Mountain 3AQ was the center mountain and it had the most heavy fighting. Outpost 7A which was an abandoned outpost, and Xinfei Hill. The Battle on Mountain 3AQ was first started on 8.00 PM when the PRZ's 374th,392nd, 421st, and 453rd Infantry Battalions advanced towards the mountain. Where they encountered some tanks and light infantry. The constant snowing made seeing anything almost impossible, and the frigid weather froze some of the combatants. After 30 Minutes the Ashikanuga called bombers to deal with the infantry. The Infantry were killed in the freezing weather and the bombers made it worse. So the PRZ troops stood no chance. Over 200K had died in only the first attack. After 2 hour Mountain 3AQ was declared impossible to break through so Major Huife Li decided to retreat all of his 40 Battalions away from the Mountain and try to defend what ground they had gained. Meanwhile Major Jin Zhen was assaulting Outpost 7A which was occupied by Ashikanuga heavy gunners, skirmishers, and tanks. Major Jin Zhen had 24 Battalions under his command so he was confident. When the PRZ troops made it to the outpost they charged head on into the bullets. After 20 Minutes they had successfully captured the outpost. In Xinfei Hill it was General Zeng Dai Ping that had only 2 Battalions to defend the hill. The Ashikanuga troops advanced with 35 Battalions. After 30 Hours of fighting the hill only had 1 defender left and it was Lt. Yao Fei which was a machine gunner. He held out for 10 more hours before arming himself with bombs and sacrificing himself to blow up the remaining Ashikanuga. After the 40 more hours of fighting the Ashikanuga had been pushed back into Outpost 7A. Now Major Huife Li decided to push forward with his remaining 3 battalions. The Outpost was destroyed and victory had been achieved by the PLAZ troops.
