Active WAR Directives.
(1) JPN-WAR-114, "Southern China Combat Operations" -> Yamamoto Army Gp will blitz, take W1-Chungking, destroy/shatter 2 NAT units.
(2) This will (hopefully) clear the way to assault Chunking and then Chengtu.
(3) JPN-WAR-115, "Strategic Bombing Chinese Factories" -> Though Japan's both best strategic bombing wings have been used (for defensive ground support last axis impulse), Japan will use 1 air mission to strat bomb Chungking (2 factories bombed & Ex[PP Kill]=0.5).
(4) JPN-WAR-112, "Northern China Defense" -> Terauchi will reposition his army group to reform his FLOT to best met the his defense requirements.
(5) Also, he'll do what he can to block the 2 raiding/potential raiding Chinese cav (corps & div) in central China.
(6) JPN-WAR-111, "Manchuria, Korean Defense" -> The splintered Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea will do what they can to stabilize the situation.
(7) Of note, control of MAN Iron RP 67,145 (on the Northern Chinese) bordered changed to Soviet AFTER last turn's production.
(8) This happened because the RP was NOT in Jp ZOC at conquest of Manchuria by the Soviets.
(9) Of note, neither was Port Arthur, which was occupied of Jp air units, but Port Arthur remained Japanese.
(10) Was that a bug or correct?
(11) Back to MAN Iron RP 67,145; the IJA inf div was move, flip control of the RP back to Japanese and then move back to their defensive position.
(12) This will not only flip control back but get the RP flowing again to a Japanese controlled factor.
(13) The situation of Iron RP occupied by Umezu in the Mtns north of the Liaotung Peninsula is also interesting.
(14) After the Soviet breakthrough on impulse #1, the Soviet mech army's ZOC blocked that RP from reaching Port Arthur and getting to Jp controlled factory.
(15) Last impulse, the Soviet mech army moved east into Korea and this reopened the route of the RP to Port Arthur and then to Jp factory.
(16) Needless to say the situation in Manchuria and Korea is dicey followed by the situation in Northern & Central China being maybe a bit less dicey.
