Operation Sejong. One of great Korean kings.

We're supporting them with an assault on Sariwon, in conjunction of airborne troops dropped directly into Pyongyang. 

I can heard hum of transport aircraft and roar of fighters as we advance. Later I know that my friends are also took part up above.

On the other hand I can see Hornets and Strike Eagles in the lower altitude race ahead and pounded their targets along the expressway.

In a town called Sohun, we're immediately greeted by artillery fire and dismounted as gunfire hammers our vehicle from houses and buildings inside the town.

Along with us are South Koreans, British, French, bolstered by a Polish-Hungarian battlegroup while the Americans are in reserve.

Now I'm a sergeant I took initiative and lead my fireteam into a complex of apartments, and soon stumbled into the local garrison's barracks. Those guys are not as good as yesterday's force we are facing. Two South Koreans and one of the 5th squad guy was shot; despite being out-gunned, those Reds are fighting and dying to the last man.

In the eastern side of the town a Polish unit reports that they encountered Iranian volunteers fighting for North Korea. We are ordered to reinforce those Eastern Europeans. On our way two BTR attempts to block our path. The new guy replacing my position as grenadier, Private Eiji Nishikata went into a nearby tree and fired an LAM. Solid hit. Later we are reinforced by a South Korean K21-105, basically a light tank version of their K21 IFV, which destroyed the second BTR with its cannon.

We used the light tank as a cover while advancing towards the supposed position of the Iranian forces. while defeating several of ambush attempts on the way, building by building. 

"Reinforcements!" said an European as they see our combined force. After almost 30 minutes we arrived at the Polish-Hungarian position, heavily engaged with Iranians occupying an apartment complex. Second later we heard engine sound and clanking of tracks.

"Pokpung-hos!" said a Polish soldier upon a platoon of Pokpung-ho tanks sighted heading towards our position and managed to fire a first shot on a group of Hungarian soldiers. I can see a Polish ATGM crew retaliated by firing their Israeli-made Spike which hit the turret ring of the lead tank, incinerating everyone inside.

I cannot stand and let those tanks interfere with us, so the Noboru ordered our squad to enter an office building to prepare an ambush. In the second floor we can saw the North Korean tanks attempted to retreat after losing their lead tank. Then I ordered Kakuzo to use the LAM, before it can happen the tanks exploded. 

"What the hell?" he asked. The answer turned to be four Polish Leopard 2A5 tanks equipped with applique armor which positioned themselves behind the enemy tank column, the tanks subsequently repositioned to support the Eastern Europeans taking the apartment, while we covered them.

Much respect for our new allies from Eastern Europe.

We are still not fully secured Sariwon as the remaining North Korean sectors further north are extensively reinforced. But as airborne troops had secured Pyongyang, surprising its defenders, it's a matter of time before they will be cut off from supply and reinforcements. Coalition Apaches from America, Korea, and Britain covered us overhead as we continue to push northward.
