And still maneuvering against trapped units north of Saigon.
Either three or all four infantry divisions at Haiphong will cross the river tomorrow. A second unit, with guns only, has appeared at our crossing hex NE of Hanoi. Our artillery will arrive tomorrow and all units will attack the day after. I suspect that this is an effort to use the Empire's best AT weapons so artillery and infantry support will be massive.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's starting to look like I might have enough attack transport to lift all of the Nago and Naha invasion forces at the same time. It'll be tight, but I think we can do it. Loading will be during the first week in October, with about a 1 week journey to Okinawa.
Indochina.
