RE: The road to Chungking is now open!
July 16th 42.
More of the same everywhere.
Allied lines are firming up in Burma, along the Imphal/Kohima/Ledo line. In the South Pacific the Islands and Bases of Noume, Suva and Pago Pago have been finally garrisoned with division size forces or better, with large additional troop and supplies arriving rapidly.
The Japanese may still advance in the center of the front, namely Timor and the Suva sea, but forces are in place to defend Australia.
It is now time to begin the reconquest...[8|]

RE: The road to Chungking is now open!

Much of the same. So, we shall review the different fronts.
Northern China has been overrun by the Japanese; only one base force unit remains between the Japanese and the Russians at the extreme NW of the map.
Central China: Allied forces have stabilized the front here, but no offenssive actions are possible. In Chungking the allied forces have been unable to dislodge the enemy forces, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like they will be dislodged any time soon.
In the south of China, the Japanese have reached the end of the railroad lines, but it does not seem like they can advance much further at this time. The Burma road remains cut just East of Lashio.
In Burma, allied forces still hold on to Mytkivina.
In the DEI, the Japanese now have cleared all allied forces from Timor. Strong allied forces await the enemy in Darwin, and in the north of Australia.
The Japanese have seized Port Moresby, and have advanced as far as Espiritu Santo.
Allied forces have garrisoned the Noumea, SUva, Pago Pago line with at least division size forces. Several large convoys are en route with additional supplies and forces
Allied forces await, and wonder, where the Japanese hammer will fall next.....
