A lot of actions today.
Big deal, US invasion at Penhryn Island is defeated! My coast gun Rgt did an excellent job and beaten the crap out of Yankees.[:D] Americans suffered over 3,000 casualties on the beach!That's one third of their whole force[X(]Most of the ships in the fleet are damaged, even critically damaged by the coast guns. BANZAI!
Several medium air combats both in China and Australi. A lot of Allies planes were shot down. My loss is acceptable.
56th Bde captured Wellington in New Zealand. All the bases on the north island is now secured. The assult values of NZ troops in the field has halfed since Auckland fell. I don't think they can hold for many days.
