No big news in these two days.after the fall of Naga the gates of Manila should be open.Another division is ready to be unloaded and the bombers are increasing their activity against Clarks and Manila.In two weeks we should be ready to lunch a massive attack.
in China my aries are surrounding Changashga and the siege will start soon. At Canton things are quite different.At the moment the chinese corps seem to hold the gained ground.Do not know if this stiff resistance is due to the latest patch or what.
In 2 days a new invasion force will smash and occupy tarakan.
At Rabaul the S.S.D. is ready to attack allied defences.Hope this will be enough.
