The Sino-Norwegian border conflicts erupted into open war. After Norwegian artillery fired on communist troops on Chinese territory in western Sinkiang, their betrayal was obvious.
CCP irregulars had infiltrated and captured the city of Almaty, on the Xinjiang border. After the opening of hostilities, the city fell instantly. Meanwhile, PLAN seaplanes bombed the Norwegian fleet in the East Sea and submarines closed in to monitor their movements.
Unfortunately no photos could be taken from the Sino-Norwegian War
PLA troops crossed the border into Mongolia. A party advanced south from Manchuria, another across the north of the Gobi Desert to spearhead the advance. However, we had underestimated Mongolia's forces on the north Manchurian border, which immediately made a counterattack, threatening Hulunbuir.

The World Herald, ever the running dog of the capitalist oligarchies that paid it up, had the audacity to compare our liberation of Mongolia to the Italian expansionist war in Spain. However, it had no choice but to admit that the March Forward had been a great success; we were now the 5th largest economy in the world.
Fighting opened on other fronts. In Xinjiang, Mongolian and Chinese armies clashed as both marched to the borders. After some gains on each side, this led to a stalemate outside Altai and north of Urumqi.
Left: opening of Sinkiang Front; Right: Armour clashes north of Lanzhou. Mongolian light tanks were superb although lacking in numbers.

After France, in a despicable act of imperialist aggression, declared war, we felt compelled to send the PLA to intervene. Our brave troops crossed the border supported by powerful new tanks and aircraft.
Since France coordinated this act with the Norwegian attack and the Mongolian Expedition, we suspected cooperation between imperialist-revisionist governments.

Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

A pretty mechanical toy [...] the war will never be won by such machines.
