The Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War, known in Joyonghea as the Jeongchuk War, was fought between the Joyonghean Empire and the Quenminese Empire; the conflict lasting from July 18, 1937 to June 30, 1945. The conflict serves as the last of the wars fought by both East Asiannan powers in the Great Eastern Rivalry.
In 1937, the Quenminese commenced preemptive land attacks from Jurchenia and Northwest Joyonghea and seabourne invasions of East Joyonghea southern landmass of Jejunom, as a consequence of continuous Joyonghean diplomatic and espionage efforts. Jejunom had a weak garrison compared to the mainland but stiff resistance delayed the timetable of the Quenminese and the island was fully secured by Spring 1938. On the other hand, the mainland forces of the Joyonghean Sovereign Army threw major attacks on the battles of Saebyang, Eomcheongsan, 1st Taeju and the defence of the capital. These attacks further delayed the Quenminese conquest of Joyonghea long enough for armament support to arrive from Aurucolia and the Lorican Federation. The Joyongheans, at this time, had obsolete arms and the sub-average training of the troops but with fierce determination fought the Quenminese invasion but were no longer effective as they were in the past. With Imperial weaponry and training, the battles favored the Quenminese.
Joyonghean Prime Minister, Son Ok-pil resigned and was succeeded by Mangjeol Jun-iseul, who would then defect to the Quenminese and establish the Quenminese puppet government of Joyonghea, the Hamyeong Government. However, Joyonghean Emperor Haebangja used his emergency powers to command the surviving remnants of the tattered Joyonghean Sovereign Army who were still holding out in the eastern side of the mainland. Pusan was taken by Early 1940 and this further reduced the Joyonghean line of defence. By Spring 1940, the remaining Joyonghean forces were surrounded on all sides.
However, by May 1940, the Emperor extended and pleaded support from the United Kingdom to save the mainland and what was left of it. The Emperor had been extending arms of support from Aurucolia and Lorica. The two nations supplied arms and weapons but refused manpower support and advisers. The Lucian Parliament agreed to send support and welcome the Joyongheans as part of the Allied forces. The message bought about a relief among the Joyongheans and held the defensive line until the Zanarkian Landings on Joyonghea in June 1940 in Samcheok, Taebaek Region; which was north of the Joyonghean defence lines. A beach head was successfully established by July 1940 and Commonwealth support continued to flow in from Zanarkand, the UK, New Akiba and Rubrum from 1944. The combined might of the Royal Navy, the Royal Zanarkian Navy and the Royal New Akiba Navy managed to repulse the Imperial Quenminese Navy's attacks on Commonwealth ships landing in Samcheok. The defence was soon strengthened by the arrival of the RAF in September 1940.
By 1942, the Allied forces had retaken Pusan, Central Joyonghea and Southern Joyonghea. The Archadians then intervened to help the Quenminese forces, who had been suffering defeats since the Commonwealth entry into the war. But by this time, the Quenminese had now been on the defence. The Archadian Spring Offensive however was a shock to the Allies and drove them back by some 80 kms. Unfortunately, the Allies retaliated on the Summer Counteroffensive of 1943, which resulted on the Quenminese and the Archadians to stay on the defensive. By 1944, the Rubrumians entered the conflict by liberating Jejunom with support from the Jejunomian Guerrillas and marching towards Western Joyonghea in the Rubrumian Landings at Gwangju.
By September 1945, after the Joyonghean Southern Expedition stopped in Southern Lorica in conjuction with the Surrender of Quenmin, the war finally came to an end. The Emperor was restored. In Paekdusan, the Lorican Federal Army landed and liberated the island. However, a Communist uprising on Paekdusan soon arose. The Communists won the uprising, forming the Nanja Republic. This signalled the start of the war of two Joyongheas from the War of Lorican Aggression until the present. The war however granted Joyonghea its international recognition and would stand out as one of the major allied powers alongside Quenmin, the United Kingdom, Bethausia, Aurucolia, Gallia-Bruhl and the Erebonian Empire in the 21st Century.
Background
First Joyonghean-Quenminese War
Quenmin's antipathy against its northern counterpart first began in 1883, when the Joyongheans set their sights on the Rampasir Islands, an archipelago to the east of Quenmin. Beonyeongwal, Emperor of Joyonghea at that time, was inspired to better his kingdom from the political and economical turmoils that desecrated the land ever since his great-grandfather's—Emperor Maelyeogyeong's—rule. Undergoing westernization, his rule contributed to Joyonghea's increasing potential to become a power in Asianna.
Determined to make better his country,
Marianan Archipelago Incident
Second Joyonghean-Quenminese War
Course of the War
Early Phase (1935)
Joyongheans Stand Their Ground (1936-37)
The Tide Favors the Quenminese (1938-39)
Fall of Yeolcheon and Total Victory (1939-40)
The Battle of Eomcheongsan broke the backbone of the Joyonghean Forces and placed them on defence for the rest of the war until 1940. By early 1939, the Quenminese had driven the Joyongheans to Southern and Eastern parts of the mainland. The Battle of Jejunom Island however bought about the delay where the Quenminese expected to complete the conquest of the country by 1939 was delayed for another year. By the Winter of 1939, the Joyongheans were driven back to Jihabeu, the last major city and barrier before the Joyonghean capital. Joyonghean General Chae Hwa-young placed up a fierce defence on the city (which was her hometown). This further added to the delay and that the city won't fall until the Spring of 1940. By April 1940, the Quenminese delivered a heavy attack on the Joyonghean Capital, forcing the defenders to retreat to the city. Defended by both the Joyonghean Regular forces and the Joyonghean militia, the placed a fierce defence of the city but was defeated when Joyonghean reinforcements coming from the south was stalled by an attacking Quenminese column, dashing all hopes of saving the capital. By April 14, the city fell and Quenminese Imperial Marshal Hồ Danh Sĩ Quốc established a stratocracy that would soon result into the Yeolcheon Purge, where many Joyongheans were murdered and executed by Quenminese troops, further increasing the amount of war crimes perpetrated by the Quenminese.
Joyonghean opposition leader Mangjeol Jun-iseul suc ued to prevail in Southern and Eastern Joyonghea. With the Fall of Pusan in May, only the Eastern Joyonghean Resistance continued to carry out until June of 1940, when the Lucis Commonwealth forces intervened.
The Lucis Commonwealth Enters (1940)
The Joyonghean governemnt had been engaging negotiations with many nations, pleading for support. The Joyongheans approached Aurucolia and the Lorican Federation since 1936 but unfortunately were turned down but only agreed to send in supplies, which arrived in 1937. Then the Joyongheans entered into a negotiation with the United Kingdom in January 1940. The Lucis Commonwealth agreed to send in troops, supplies and more importantly, logistical support to Joyonghea by June 1940. Lucian supplies were pouring in from Zanarkand and that most troops came from Zanarkand, which is a Lucian Commonwealth Realm. On June 13, the first Zanarkians Landed at Samcheok Beach. The RAF, RZAF, RNAAF, along with the Royal Navy and the Royal Zanarkian Navy provided heavy support and pounded the beachheads at Samcheok while the Commonwealth Air Power distrupted the Quenminese Air Force. Allied superiority caused failure by the Quenminese to repel the Allied invasion of Joyonghea. By August, the Commonealth forces had linked-up with the Joyonghean Forces inland. The Joyonghean Sovereign Army was then reestablished and rearmed with Commonwealth-supplied weapons.
The Commonwealth-Joyonghean Forces were then combined and placed under the commands of Zanarkian Generals Edward Samegawa, Roy Peterson and Joyonghean Generals Chae Hwa-young and Namgung Wook-yun. Lucian General Okita Hanamura combined his army with Joyonghean General Rang Seong-heun and New Akibander General Hikaru Komaki. From then on, the Joyongheans were now better armed than their counterparts, but to some extent.
Quenminese Troops Driven Out (1940-41)
Turning of the Tide (1942-43)
The Beginning of the End (1943-44)
Rubrumian Forces Arrive (1944)
Axis Collapse, Allied Victory, Joyonghea Liberated (1945)
War Crimes
Crimes Perpetrated by the Quenminese
Yeolcheon Purge
Quenmin's onslaught on the major Joyonghean city of Yeolcheon has been one of the bloodiest in the whole duration of the war. The defending Joyonghean troops attempted to push them back, only to be forced into the city. More and more troops arrived for the control of the city; the Quenminese, having the better advantage, spurred into the city.
