• 1,139 AV in Manila.
• Substantial forces from Singapore should begin landing at Batangas in about 3 days.
China
• All good results.
• 8 enemy units off road west of Chengtu and Neikiang.
• 1 enemy unit just west of Chengtu.
• 4,022 AV at Chengtu. Results were very good today with fortification reduction, casualties, and odds all in our favor. Attack continues tomorrow.
• The experienced Chinese Army units from the Chungking plain will begin marching into the railhead at Tuyun in a day or two.
• Allied forces continue passing through the railhead at Hengyang, moving by truck to support the spearhead.
• The enemy Bde continues moving out of Foochow. Hope for them to complete that movement before our troops enter the city.
• Tanks from the Chungking plain heading for Wenchow to help start the attack.
• USA brigades ex-Okinawa heading for Hangchow to help secure that place and the supply route.
• 36th Indian Division needs about 4 or 5 days to join the spearhead at Hangchow.
• A base force and engineer units are already on trucks moving to Hangchow. The defenders there had finished repairs for us, so building will begin straight away.
• Another wave of units is marching out of Chungking in two different directions.
India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina
Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia
Nighttime Stuff
• Pirates Ahoy!
• The war at sea takes its first Russian victim.
• Hopefully the same will be true for those enemy cruisers and destroyers!
• Osaka/Kyoto
• Fires at Tokyo are 5.
• Fires at Osaka/Kyoto are 45,464.
• The B-29's will stand down to recover.
• Fuchin, 90 miles behind enemy lines, capitulated today. STAVKA analysts predict this will shatter enemy morale across the front.
• The armored and mechanized spearhead of 2,100 AV south of Tamsag has found no enemy positions in the forest after crossing into Manchuria (from China proper), and will push on straight to Fusin.
• Only infantry units will continue moving into the swamps across the river from Khabarovsk, Bikin, and Iman. All others advancing will entrain, move to Rybolov, and meet them after they push through the nasty terrain.
• We have a little recon here and there now; no impressive enemy defenses seen so far.
• Our destroyers from the galactic periphery are south of Shikuka but found no enemy commerce there. They will flee in case enemy carriers decide to pursue.
• Just to refresh memories, these are the assignments for the first target set in the Home Islands, Kanoya and the two islands closest where supporting air bases can be built. Assault shipping is on the way to pick them up.
• Bearcat is in production @215/month but still too few on hand to fill out a squadron. Maybe by sailing time we will have the first squadron upgraded.
• There are 399 fighters seen by recon at Nagasaki/Sasebo. Tomorrow we will send 200 fighters to sweep that hornet's nest.
• The B-24 horde which has been suppressing defenses at Chengtu is transferring to the Ryukyu Islands to take up aerial bombardment of targets on Kyushu. Considering aircraft in maintenance it will take some time before the groups are up to full strength, so operations will begin before then.
