Near Wuchang we now move on that city. Our armour will all be in Ichang in one or two more days at the most, and we will start moving armour in one day (possibly with that last unit to catch up). Two infantry divisions are starting to move now. The idea is that armour and infantry will cross the river together in 3 days. A Betty strike showed up over Ichang. No escort. Woe was unto them. Most likely there will be no Imperial death gliders interfering with the river crossing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Near Chengtu those 4 Imperial units are now all off the road, trying to route around our units. By the time they go through the adjoining mountain hex the battle will be over.
Our main spearhead has contacted at least one enemy unit a hex SW of Wuhu (a dot base) and will wait for overwhelming force before attacking. The idea is to move the first roadblock, Woods-Rough terrain notwithstanding, before they realize what they are up against.
The sweeps against Kagoshima were a great success! 99x Franks and Tojos for 19x P-47s and P-51s.
