Capture of Hung Yen (IC)
The Fall of Hung Yen took place on July 21, 2018 when the Lorican Army attempted a second offensive against the Quenminese Special Administrative Province of Hung Yen. With barely any force of resistance against the Lorican Army, Hung Yen fell to Lorica for the first time in 120 years. Afterwards, the province-city was subjected to numerous atrocities committed by the Lorican Army. The commander of the Lorican Army that attacked the province, Charles Emmanuele la Bedoyere subjected the town to the Lorican Government's Order No. 375, which was the Lorican plan for Hung Yen after capturing it that included the extermination of anyone who was Quenminese, Bethausian, Commonwealth, and other civilians under the allied cause and replacing the population with Lorican occupants. Pockets of resistance established the Hung Yenese Resistance.

Aftermath
After the battle, the region was immediately subjected to atrocities by the Lorican Army as part of the Lorican Government's Order No. 375. Quenminese and other foreign civilians in Hung Yen were rounded up in Auchinleck Square and were gunned down. As many as 5,000 civilians perished in the massacre. The allied pockets of resistance that still resisted Lorican rule formed the Hung Yenese Resistance. They used the old flag of Hung Yen and the flag of the Ngoi Sang Bac to invoke further Lorican dissension.
