Major Northern Offensive Begins on Baegukese New Year
The War in Baeguk today turned ugly on what was supposed to be a sacred and traditional holiday for the Kyo people. Seollal, or Baegukese New Year, marks the renewal of the Gaoic Lunar Calendar and is a deeply sacred time for people in both North and South Baeguk to rest, get together with family, and worship communally.
However, the mood was decidedly not celebratory today as under the cover of darkness the Northern Revolutionary Committee of the Kyo People's Army (RC), their Utaristani advisors, and their southern allies in the National Liberation Front (NLF) launched what appears to be a massive offensive to retake lost Northern territories and push further into the South. Massive artillery barrages have hit the front lines and southern border population centers as coordinated waves of Northern attackers and Southern NLF guerilla fighters have begun assaulting (and by some reports overwhelming) RAB forces, some of whom were caught off guard due to the festive mood and cultural expectations of idleness. This marks the largest and most widespread offensive of the conflict thus far.
During this conflict the South has had the upper hand in all aspects; militarily, economically, and in morale. At the beginning of the conflict the Royal Army of Baeguk was able to decisively seize the major northern city of Sinsu without major bloodshed. Resistance intensified as RC troops began to seriously defend their territory, but the RAB still made progress in both the Rokgi and Haegi provinces; they have since entered Myeoggi province. This was only encouraged by the arrival of foreign support troops from Nadiya and Luthori, alongside economic aid and arms.
The RC have by contrast been mainly on the backfoot in defending their territory without being capable of "bringing the fight" southward, and though their NLF allies in the South have proved themselves capable of coordinating impressive terror attacks they are yet to stage a true guerilla war outside of sporadic clashes or acts of vigilante violence. Though the North was bolstered two months ago by the arrival of military attaches and auxillaries from Utaristan, a longtime ally of the North, this was not enough to frustrate the steady advance of allied soldiers as they march towards Taedo.
Analysts now wonder if the South can hold against such firepower, and if this could potentially turn the tide of the conflict from what has largely been a steady series of Southern allied victories. It is of great interest to Terra to see how the conflict in Baeguk develops further.
