Over the next few weeks, the Korean Army ordered Operation Circle to proceed as planned. Within a week the Manchurian Army was in shreds. Never fear! the Cry Koreans gave to the Manchu Civilians, your saviors are hear. The only battle oif consequence was the battle of Harbin. The Korean Plan was simple indeed. A Pincer Movement would cut off the Manchu Garrison from escape. The odds were more than stacked in the Koreans favor. The Manchu's were outnumbered 5-2 in men. They also lacked heavy equipment. The Korean Army was in much better shape. 50,000 well armed men. The Manchu's fought bravely, yet were soon forced to surrender and submit for Annexation. On December 3rd, Manchuko was annexed by Korea.

Yet the War with Japan would heat up, and the Korean fleet couldn't leave port. The War needed to take a turn, and currently it didn't look like it would. Still, Koreans celebrated the Destruction of the Japanese puppets.
The War in the sky:
"Today we lost another 5 Planes, and with them 5 good men. We are overwhelmed day after day, yet we continue to go up into the air to engage the Japanese. At this rate we won't have an Airforce." - Anomynous Korean Pilot.
Korea's 1st Air Squadron was going up to attack the Japanese Bombers daily. Yet to the shock of the world, these old Fighters were holding their own. The Japanese losses in the sky were proving heavy. Too heavy. Despite raids daily, the Squadron went up every day. Engaging the Japanese. While the Squadron's Morale and Organization went way down, the news finally improved. 4 Russian Fighter squadrons arrived, and just like that, the Prolem was over. Yet the First Squadron made tons of sacrifices. The Japanese stopped the raids due to their courage. Seoul was saved thanks to these guys. On December 5th, Korea hit them back, with a Bombing run. It did little damage, but it struck fear into the Japanese. Despite good tidings, the Japanese Carrier fleets could strike at will.
The Future:Despite recent success, the Invasion of Japan is along way off.
