Is it work or a new girlfriend that is keeping you busy?
Vacation and work (i know it sounds strange to have both of them at the same time)...but tomorrow GF is arriving...so my time will shrink even more than now
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Feb 25,26 42
In Burma he's sending his heaviest and maradeurs against my paras at akyab...i have not enough aviation support in the area, nor supply, to stand and fight...he's advancing with tanks from Chittahong and i'm sure he's gonna get the base back...too bad
always in Burma he seems to have drawn a line in the sand at Mandalay...abbandoning everything that stands south of it...
An enemy sub hit a mine at singa and probably sunk...thank god!
Always at Singa my Burma reinforcement TFs have sailed...and are now moving northwards. KB and Kaga's group will follow up on the 27th, escorted by several ASW TFs (preceeding the CVs) and by 4 strong SCTFs.
The reinforcements are also ashore at Kalidati (Java)...1300 more AVs to finish the island.
We got a couple of bloody noses in China, but things keep on getting better.
We attacked on the road south of Sian (woods) with the Northern China army and we got repulsed...but the first army has now consolidated its positions east of Sian and, with the advance of the Mongol army 46 miles south of it, QBall has finally decided to abbandon the whole sector and a general retreat seems to have been ordered.
At least 100 fighters appeared in China...he clearly wants to cover his retreats...
At Changsha he managed to send 2 corps back into the city right before i could attack...and i obtained only a 1-1...but also in this sector a general retreat seems to have been ordered and all his units are falling north, trying to close the breakthrough north of Chansgha.
The front is now stabilizing and i think, by the end of march 1942, i will have the whole Changsha and Sian basins....then the goal will be to strangle the Chungking plains, isolating it from the northern Industries and from Burma.
In the south everything is quiet...no sign of his CVs anywhere...
The Australian Navy sunk one of my AMCs operating south of Cylon...so his navy fled towards India and not towards Perth.... good to know!
