November 1951
The first day of november saw a massive attack by the soviet troops towards the province of Zhambyl. The outnumbered sarawakian forces managed to resist only a few hours before the HQ ordered a retreat.
The following day the SAG arrived in Valencia and, soon after, began to patrol the western mediterranean sea. On the late evening of the 3rd of november the sarawakian fleet encountered a small soviet submarine fleet and a large force of french destroyers. The battle raged for four hours, but in the end the SAG managed to sunk several submarines and some destroyers: the tide began to turn in the mediterranean sea.
During the following days the sarawakian supreme HQ decided, seen the very slow advance of the allies towards Ulan Bator, to send some of the northern chinese expeditionary troops to take the mongolian capital. On the 5th of the month the chinese, at last, entered into the city, waving both the chinese and the sarawakian flag; the same day the mongolian nation cheased to exist. Soon after diplomatic talks began between the anti-communist mongolian partisan leaders and the sarawakian generals; to the meetings were also invited representatives from the USA and the UK, to strenghten the ties Sarawak had with the allies.
After the annexation the troops stationed in Mongolia were ordered to move towards the frontline, to strenghten the border and be ready for another offensive.
The talkings between the mongolian and the sarawakians ended quickly as Brooke, and his cabinet, decided to set up a friendly government in Ulan Bator; this new State was soon put under the nominal protection of the ONU.
On the 7th of the month Aeronautics Design Bureau developed 'Supersonic Fighter'. The following project was a joint one between the Minister of Industry and the Chief of Airforce, it was, in fact, about strategical rockets, which would have expanded the range of missiles, thereby expanding their possibilities of attack.
The following day saw the occupation, by the sarawakian forces, of the province of Ust-Kut. A soviet counterattack was quickly repelled and the troops were ordered to stay there to rest for a while.
The following days didn't saw so much action on the sarawakian-soviet front, the only important happening was the battle of Altay, where the east turkestan's forces were defeated by the communist forces, this led the troops in Khobdo to improve their efforts to reach the province of Urumqi in time to defend it against the incoming red menace. During the same days the SAG encountered again the french destroyer fleet, which was again beaten.
On the 16th of the month Sarawakian Naval Academy developed 'Improved Cold War ASW Tactics', the next project, strongly suggested by both Montag and Jitang, was about modern equipment for the mechanized divisions, to help the HQ resist better to the enemy attacks, thus providing enough time for the rest of the army to arrive.
On the same day the offensive was taken again by the sarawakians in siberia. Troops from Ust-Kut and Erbogachen attacked Taishet and Vanavara, respectively. The two battles lasted only a few hours before the soviets began to retreat. On the same day the sarawakian supreme HQ decided to exploit the advance of the soviet troops in Altay, attacking the lightly defended province of Bijsk and thus hoping to close the pocket of Altay.
Three days later the first airborne operation of the war was launched against Krasnoyarsk, to cut the retreat of the soviet forces from Taishet. The operation was a complete success, mostly due to the absence of enemy troops in the area.
After some time to regain its force the airborne division was ordered to support Montag's attack on Shushenskoye. The battle was very long and bloody and left the brave paratroopers exhausted.
The following day some soviet division managed to reach the province of Taishet and, before being defeated by the sarawakian troops coming from Ust-Kut, managed to defeat the Krasnoyarsk's garrison. On the 22nd of the month another battle for Bijsk began and, because of the lack of coordination between the soviet forces, resulted in another victory for the sarawakians.
On the 23rd of the month the SAG engaged again french destroyers in the waters of the western mediterranean sea. This time the french fleet was completely annihilated.
General De Gaulle, after the fall of Mongolia, started a great campaign among the allies for a declaration of war against the comintern, hoping to regain the lost territories of continental france. However the free french government gained nothing in this meetings and thus decided to leave the alliance and, at the same time, to start talkings with the sarawakian government. In Guangzhou they received a far better treatment, as Brooke knew the difficulties of the spanish government in holding the line in europe and, on the 26th of the month Free France joined the war against the comintern, hoping to free their former european holdings.
During the same day the soviet troops conquered Zhambyl but were soon defeated by the advancing sarawakian forces.
On the following day the province of Bijsk was finally conquered and a weak soviet counterattack repelled: the Altay pocket was now closed. After this happening all the sarawakian forces in the area were ordered to attack the province of Altay, to defeat the red forces trapped there.
On the 28th of the month Taishet was fully occupied. The troops which gained the province were soon ordered to advance further westward, to the airbase of Severo Yenisejsk, passing trough Krasnoyarsk.
The following day the soviets managed to attack the newly conquered province of Kyzyl; the exhausted sarawakian troops were forced to retreat, but the supreme HQ sent some reinforcements soon after from Ulan Ude.
On the last day of the month the Armored Corps continued their advance towards Tura and the forces which occupied Vanavara were ordered to advance furter towards Baikit
