The reds have launched an offensive against the city of Seul. The 80th squadron was ordered to support the 1st Armored division defending the city.
The flight to Seul was uneventful, the good weather allowed us good visual of everyhing up to several miles. We must have arrived at the city too soon, because nothing was happening.
I thought it could have been a false alarm when the radio chattered something about enemy troops. Soon the whole city was englufed into an all out battle with T-34 tanks rolling through the streets opposed by our own Shermans.

Without losing a moment me and my wingmen dived, dropping bombs and launching rockets all over the place. The effect seemed to be minimal. Then we engaged with our .50cal machineguns, not the best thing to attack a T-34, specially when they decide to jam (why would anyone decide to keep this guns as our main weapons 5 years after the second world war, is beyond me).

As we kept trying to strafe them, the reds kept pushing and eventually they´ve got to the center of the city where they stopped. We fought until the ammo ran out. I called RTB and we moved home, once again, without any opposition from the North Korean air force.

Even though they conquered the center of the town, it seems their casualties were too high and had to retread shortly after. Our mission was considered as a success, although my wingmen effectiveness was less than amusing (I´d very much like to choke them myself).
