Our subs are conducting secret activities.
The mines west of Hakodate have been cleared. Again no air strikes against our ships at Hakodate. The airfield there has now built to size 9, allowing us to activate additional night fighter groups there. The next Imperial night strikes there will find well over 100 night fighters on duty plus some ranging from other bases.
Hakodate will also serve as a fighter base to sweep Tokyo both night and day to pave the way for B-29 strikes both night and day. At Sapporo there are 101x night variant B-29 (B-29B) and 105 day types. At Taihoku are 255 day types. All can reach Tokyo within normal range, meaning a full payload of 36x 500 lb bombs for the night type and 20x 500 lb bombs for the day type. When the weather is predicted good, we will hit Tokyo with night/day firebombing strikes. I figure on a nighttime altitude of 10,000 ft and a daytime altitude of 13,000 ft. Sweeps will be handled by 7x P-47 groups and 4x P-51 groups. Others can be transfered from the Ryukus (Okinawa area) as needed.
All units preparing for the Kochi invasion are over 70%.
Progress in China.
Attack will continue at Chengtu, and general attacks at Nanking and Hankow tomorrow.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
