In spite of disruption of 41% they will continues attacking due to the weakness of the enemy forces.

China west. Kiuchuan threw off the invaders before nightfall and our armour will race on to Ansi.

[witpqs]

China east. There seems to be a great deal more damage done to the defenders at Hangchow by ground bombing lately, which I attribute to a combination of reduction in fortification level and disruption among the AA assets. I have high hopes for the next assault.

Philippines.

Home Islands west. Some convoys have finished loading, some are still loading. The points of departure closest to Kochi will start loading over the next couple of days.

[witpqs]

Home Islands east. The USN fleet is on the move, and reorganizing as it goes. It turns out there are not enough carrier escorts on site (many DD are undergoing upgrades and repairs at Hakodate) for the new (self-imposed) restriction of no more than 4x CV/CVL in each USN CV TF, so many DD from Okinawa will meet the fleet on the way.

[witpqs]

Tokyo.

[witpqs]

Air losses. I'm not sure what these are because nothing showed up in the combat replay or the reports, but maybe they were kamikaze strikes ordered against our CVE TF in transit that failed to find their targets due to weather.

Tatung will likely be as far as the armour goes. When Chinese Army units are available to take over garrison duties, the armour will pull back and either help with Hankow and Hangchow or rest to prepare for HI ops.

China west. The horde of Chinese Army units heading for Tuyun is causing massively-supply wasting over stacking on the road. I am doing my best to spread them out and reduce the damage, but I am paying the price for getting impatient.

China east. Still a few days away from the next assault at Hangchow.

Philippines.

[witpqs]

Home Islands west. Convoys at Amami Oshima and at Taihoku are beginning to load the remaining units for the Kochi invasion. Most convoys in the Marianas have completed loading and are heading for Daito Shoto. Two are still loading supplies. Notice that a (possibly) 7-ship Imperial TF of small combatants has sortied just west of Saishu To.

Home Islands east. The fleet continues repositioning to cover operations at Kochi.
