Battle[]
The South Koreans wanted to rival the Chinese, so they hired the mercenary to destroy three of the fuel tanks and ten of the oil trucks. Using a helicopter, the mercenary rained hell from above, blowing up the oil tanks with missiles and peppering the ground forces. Several Chinese soldiers were killed on the ground, as well as several vehicles blown up. The attack definitely decreased that mercenary's diplomatic relationship with the People's Republic of China, as their entire outpost had just been destroyed.
