-A good turn for Japan. The last troops in Pakhoi died in a Banzai charge. No prisioneers were taken. Their sacrifice allowed for the evacuation of an entire Base Force unit. No units were lost in the Nanning/Pakhoi campaign despite some heavy losses. Meanwhile, the Chinese air force was badly hurt by AA fire in an unfortunate attack on Canton, and Nells sank two transports in Burma, while Oscars fought the inferior Western aircraft with good results (3:2 losses favoring the Japanese fighters). Overall losses for the day are 10 for Japan and 20 for allies.
