Yangtze Campaign

The Yangtze Campaign was an operation conducted by the U.S. after the unsuccessful Chinese invasion of Alaska in 2066.

During its course, American T-45d power armor units, infantry and mechanized divisions were deployed to China, but they became bogged down on the mainland, putting a further drain on American resources and supply lines. But the tide of the war was changed in 2076 when the T-51b power armor finally finished development, and the first unit was sent to China where they finally began to carve a swath through Chinese forces. Chinese supply lines from the nations China had annexed began to break down.

There exists no information what happened to the American troops stationed there during the initial start of the holocaust in 2077 and so they are presumed dead. There might also be a ghoul remnant force, similar to the Chinese Remnant contingent of the Capital Wasteland, located in China, or some descendants of the soldiers.

Appearances
The Yangtze Campaign is mentioned in Fallout 2 by President Dick Richardson. There is also a Yangtze Memorial in Fallout: New Vegas, presumably honoring those who died during the campaign.
