Welcome btbw, and thanks for your input!!
Great minds think alike.[:D]

That is exactly what I am doing at the moment, re post: fb.asp?m=3208270

In the screenshot below you can see Loyang is completely surrounded and has been cut off for weeks.
After Chengchow was captured, the defenders could only retreat into Loyang, so it has loads of trapped Chinese troops awaiting destruction at the hands of 1st and 11th Armies.

Hex 88,43 ( the one NW of Kaifeng that appears empty ) is not a retreat option for the Chinese, as it was closed to them by troops advancing into Loyang from it.

Bombed from the air, daily Artillery bombardments, rapidly running out of ammunition, medical supplies and food, these Chinese troops are doomed in the opinion of Army General Staff.
