apr 13, 1928 - Germans and Japanese Increase their Assistance

Description:

By April, in attempts to shift the war in their favor, both Germany and Japan provide increasingly direct assistance. German-piloted aircraft appear over Beijing, and Japanese divisions wearing Chinese uniforms reinforce Fengtian. After nearly two months of fighting, Qing forces make a breakthrough at Yangquan, threatening Yan’s capital at Taiyuan, and bringing him close to dropping out of the war.
