In other news, he continues to pound Chungking and Akyab into rubble, even after I pulled back remnants of my fighter units from there. As I said annoying, but hey....
Most of his units on Wake are elliminated, one unit retreated to Wilkes island and is refusing to surrender, we will eliminate them tomorrow. Recon, heavy bomber and flying boat units were dispatched to Wake immediatelly, with orders to fly over Eniwetok and Marcus tomorrow. I have at least two divisions still on ships (they never got orders to unload) ready to reroute them towards Eniwetok and/or Marcus if they are empty.
Obviously, with like billion men commited to South Seas, Japanese neglected their defences in central Pacific, just like I expected mwaghahahaha
