• We are lifting a parachute regiment into Mengtze to make certain retreating enemy units don't recapture it. The paras will also bolster Allied forces in the area. We also now have 2 units on the road well west of Mengtze making their way to the battle for Kunming.

• Our troops near Tsuyung are still recovering for the next assault.

• The last two enemy units in Nanning, which were retreated to the NE, are still in that hex (harassed by air strikes) and making their way to the road NE of their position. We have units heading to that hex to obstruct them just to keep them out of the fight for longer and potentially trap them.

• As our forces blast through enemy defenses in Wuchow we will have some units in place to prevent them from retreating to Canton. Likewise, we will seek to prevent enemy forces in Canton from retreating to Hong Kong.

• Some of the >70,000 enemy ejected from Liuchow are now entering Kweilin. In addition to tactical air strikes our 4EB are doing everything they can to denude Kweilin of supply each and every turn.

• We lost a total of 28 B-29's. the bombers will stand down both from fatigue and a forecast of rain tomorrow.

• The assault units for Okinoerabushima have completed loading. Almost all the units for Amami Oshima are now loading (one convoy still on the way).

Complete combat report attached.

Interesting raid. The two "Merchant Shipyards" means he must have converted the Naval Shipyard to a Merchant one. That speaks to how badly off he is for merchant ships now - probably needs more to haul in resources.

I really wondered about that. I always thought the Empire had tons of merchants, way more than they could use in the late game.

• The Empire has sought to foul the road south of Kweilin so our tanks shall clear it.

• We will try to surround Wuchow and destroy the enemy there rather than allowing them to escape to Canton.

• At some point we have to lift a unit to Kiungshan so it can move on Samah.

• Rain again over the Home Islands.

• Recon shows that Okinoerabushima and Tokunoshima are lightly held. Okinoerabushima requires a landing shock attack, but might have less than 2,000 defenders so we will land there on day 1 along with Amami Oshima, Tokunoshima, and Naha. In other words. 4 targets on day 1, then Nago as soon as warships are ready and the path is open.

• The RN fast battleships are being brought up for the battle over the Ryukyus. I think this battle will bring out all remaining major IJN assets.

is lack of supply at a base.

Must be a pretty valuable base! Sometimes I wonder if Intel updates on the ships presumed sunk, but found not to be, lead to adjustment of those VPs.

On this particular day there were no falsely reported sinkings discovered. Probably a base or combination of them. Or maybe some incidental air losses combined with the Empire getting supply to bases where it was short, giving Japan a net + VP.

That convoy caught at the port in northern Luzon might have been unloading supplies???
