I transferred hundreds of planes from Socotra to Karachi and ordered them to bomb Hyderabrad(sindh).
Over 300 japanese planes are shot down or destroyed on the ground. It's a day of glory for the Allied. And it cast a beam of light to the gloomy allied future.

Million tons of supplies and hundreds of thousands troops are unloading and Lv9 Karachi port safely.

I have to say that today's para operation has a deep impact on the course of the war until now(May, 43). And it's amazing how some small things can make such a huge different.

Jodphur is very lightly defended, only a Jap battalion and some other small units. I want to copy Championzhao's success in early war to take it by paras. The plan is practical well executed except one thing!
My hundreds of bombers sit at home at not too bad weather day and didn't do what they supposed to do.
My paras went in alone and failed to take Jodphur. There was a chance that if I take Jodphur I will chase Japs all the way to Burma, and took back the whole India in a month. Because at this moments not many Japs troops are in India.

However, Japs managed to moved in a tank regiment the next day and it's not possible anymore to take Jodphur. And this failure, decided the strategic situation in India for the next couple of years. Just one small thing, has a huge impact, huge huge impact. You will understand what I'm saying later on.

Jap bombardment fleet SNEAK in again(they have BBs with them and I don't why my patrols can't locate this kind of big fleet. A few DDs is understandable, but BBs, com'on!)

For some reason they didn't bombard Noumea but stopped at the hex when the day comes. My catalinas only put one torpedo into Kongo. She should be sunk, if I have more torpedo planes. What a pity.
