At Manzhouli, near the border of China, Siberia, and Mongolia, the Chinese launch their charge into the woods. There is a roar of fire—AK-47s, AK-74s, 7.62mm bayonet-equipped type 56 Chinese carbines, type 43 and 50 7.62mm ChiCom submachine guns—and, from the other side, the eruption of the SAS/D's Heckler & Koch 9mm parabellums firing at over eight hundred rounds a minute, the crash of grenades, and the terrible whistling of fléchettes.
Over the Hindu Kush, four ChiCom fighters, Shenyang J-6Cs, with swept-back wings and armed with air-to-air missiles and deadly NR-30mm cannons, swoop down from 36,000 feet at Mach 1.3 toward Allied B-52s. Suddenly the sky is aglow with phosphorous flares like shooting stars, as the ChiComs' four 120-pound Soviet-type Aphid missiles streak toward the B-52s at 2,800 meters per second...IT'S ALL-OUT WAR
