Invasion of Anchorage

The Invasion of Anchorage refers to the military landing operation orchestrated by China's 213th People's Army on the cold November 26th code-named 西部风 (Xībù fēng) or "Operation Western Wind".

As the relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China deteriorates after the great economic collapse, the discovery of a major deep-sea oil deposit in the Pacific Ocean further intensified the hostility. China laid claim to the deposit but the pipeline construction was allegedly sabotaged by American secret operatives on October 29th.

At 0500 hours the Chinese launched an EMP Strike on the American western shore, causing communications and electrical failures. Amidst the chaos, the 213th People's Army landed on the shores of Anchorage, Alaska at 0600 hours and usurped control of Alaska's oil pipelines and reserves as a retaliation. The U.S. forces managed to assemble a sizable counter-attack force a few hours later and launched Operation Reclamation to push the Chinese forces out of Alaska.

This invasion marked the official beginning of World War III where U.S. and its allies are thrown into war with China and the Socialist Bloc.
