Second Korean War (The Era of Relative Peace)

The Second Korean War, also called the Korean Front or the Battle for the Korean Peninsula, was a battle in the Asia-Pacific Front that occurred during World War III. Prior to the war, the two Koreas were technically still at a state of war as only an armistice ended the first Korean War on July 27, 1953. Before this, skirmishes occurred on the DMZ. The was reignited when the People's Republic of China declared war on the United States of America and their allies. North Korea took advantage of the situation and then promptly pushed through the DMZ, pushing the U.S. and South Korean forces back. The battle for control of the peninsula had began.

The Battle
Kim Il Sung, upon having heard of China's declaration of war with the United States, was overjoyed with the news. He thought the war with "imperialism" and "capitalism" had begun, and promptly ordered the KPA to push through the DMZ. U.S. and South Korean forces, already on constant alert since the War began in Europe, fought back with ferocity on the advancing KPA. However, the amount of KPA troops was massive, and the allies were pushed back away from the DMZ. U.S. Forces Korea then requested reinforcements, which came from nearby Japan. Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea placed their differences aside as Japanese deployed some of its Self Defense Forces to the Korean Peninsula. It was for the first time in nearly 40 years that Japanese troops were in the Korean Peninsula. Seoul unfortunately fell to the North Koreans and the Chinese after two weeks of the start of the war - due to its proximity to the DMZ. The South Korean government relocated to Busan which was known as the Second Pusan Perimeter. Above the skies of the peninsula, U.S., South Korean, and Japanese fighter jets fought the KPAF and the PLAAF. The killcount for the allied forces was higher since the F-14, F-15, F-16, and F-4 was more advanced compared to MiG fighters and J-series of jets used by the North Koreans and the Chinese. Meanwhile, on the ground, the KPA attacked the allied forces through rushes of human waves. However, for their numbers, casualties was high because the allied troops made sure the North Koreans were paying for every inch. The U.S., meanwhile, asked assistance from their ANZUS allies: Australia and New Zealand. The two nations promptly intervened, while also deploying some of their naval forces to Hong Kong, Brunei, American Samoa, Guam, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Canada also joined, deploying parts of their navy and army to join the ground war in South Korea.

It appeared that despite the superior number of the communist forces, they were challenged by the techonological superiority of the allied forces. To the east of Korea, the U.S. 7th Fleet engaged the PLAN East Sea Fleet, which resulted in the loss of majority of the fleet. The U.S. lossed two destroyers against the PLAN. The rest of the East Sea Fleet retreated back to Dalian and Shanghai. In the Sea of Japan, the U.S. and Japan Maritime Self Defense Force engaged a joint Soviet-Chinese Navy, resulting in an equal loss of both sides. The Japanese also sunk North Korean naval ships through the use of submarines. In a bid of deperation, the Soviet Union deployed their Spetsnaz to the Korean peninsula. These troops inflicted heavy losses to the allied forces. However, they were soon challenged by the U.S. Marines, the U.S. Navy SEALs, and the South Korean Special forces. The allies were then refreshed with an arrival of 10,000 U.S. Marines from the 3rd MEU.
