The Haiyanese Civil War was an armed conflict fought from 1974 to 1977 between the government of the Kingdom of Haiyan and the Communist Party of Haiyan, an unofficial political party founded in 1973.

Background

The Communist Party of Haiyan, an unregistered political party was founded in early-1973 by radical politician Shun Qiu Ma after he was sacked for his increasingly leftist ideals. At a time when communism was a feared ideology, this alarmed the the government of King Jun Wei Liao who ordered the party be disbanded. When the communist party attempted to register itself for the 1974 General Elections, then Prime Minister Kun Huang Chou denied them. For several months prior, the party who had been growing increasingly militant in their behavior demanded representation in the elections or they would "force" the government to allow them to run.

Conflict

The government did not heed this warning and on March 18, 1974 rebels from the party's Wǔzhuāng yì (Militant Wing) stormed the city hall and captured the town of Xiǎoshān. As the military moved to retake the town the rebels called reinforcements surprising the military and forcing they're retreat. For the first nearly three years of the war the better equipped and trained Haiyanese military had the upper hand and the rebels made little gains, until early-1977 when rebels were seen becoming more organized and with heavier equipment (heavy machine guns, mortars and even tanks). With newer equipment, seemingly better training and the use of Guerrilla warfare, the rebels were able to take several key towns and military posts including; Sēnlan Army Base, Húbiān & Jiànmiàn and advance to within 482 km (300 mi) west of the capital Zīběn. As the rebels moved toward the capital the haiyanese governemt asked for assistance from the neighboring country of Narsora, a large-scale trading partner of haiyan. Narsoran troops began arriving in April, 1977. They were tasked with securing the capital against attack and assisting in regaining ground taken by the rebels, the combined Haiyanese/Narsoran offensive known as the Zuìhòu Offensive managed to drive the rebels over 1,000 miles back to the eastern Dōngbù Province.
