The air attacks are taking a toll on the defenders at Ichang. That plus the Imperial reinforcements on the way mean that we still need to rush reinforcements forward. The blocking force that came out of the swamp is much weaker than our forces but, likewise, the air attacks are taking their toll on our troops. Reinforcements will be in place tomorrow, perhaps enough to then push the IJA cavalry back into the swamp.Ground combat at Ichang (83,48)
