December 28th 1942 Air Losses: 0 Japanese, 2 Allied, 0 Pilots Japanese occupy: Paoshan, Chungking Allies occupy: Japanese land at: Allies land at: Pacific Quiet. Allied naval forces seem to have withdrawn from the Nauru Island area. Burma area Quiet China Bad weather grounds air support but the IJA just manages to win at Paoshan: quote:
Ground combat at Paoshan (65,45) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 13202 troops, 413 guns, 1035 vehicles, Assault Value = 521 Defending force 18173 troops, 166 guns, 98 vehicles, Assault Value = 204 Japanese adjusted assault: 404 Allied adjusted defense: 175 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Paoshan !!! Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), leaders(+), disruption(-), preparation(-) experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 93 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 5 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Allied ground losses: 5997 casualties reported Squads: 128 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 354 destroyed, 10 disabled Engineers: 115 destroyed, 0 disabled Guns lost 118 (118 destroyed, 0 disabled) Vehicles lost 75 (75 destroyed, 0 disabled) Units retreated 9 The defenders have retreated into the mountains. The road to Burma is open. At Chungking, after constant bombardments and repeated attacks the Chinese defense collapses: quote:
Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 108576 troops, 1409 guns, 590 vehicles, Assault Value = 3120 Defending force 145228 troops, 34 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 845 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese adjusted assault: 1907 Allied adjusted defense: 779 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Chungking !!! Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), leaders(+), preparation(-), experience(-) supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 1018 casualties reported Squads: 7 destroyed, 209 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 23 disabled Guns lost 30 (2 destroyed, 28 disabled) Allied ground losses: 159750 casualties reported Squads: 2753 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 10972 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 5 destroyed, 0 disabled Guns lost 45 (45 destroyed, 0 disabled) Units destroyed 107 The industry takes very little damage (about 5%) beyond that which I had already done to it. 63LI and 126HI captured. Australia Quiet Engineering Quiet R&D Mitsubishi Ha-43 to 7/44. Plans The armour at Paoshan will head to bolster the defenses at Warazup, will take about 2 weeks to get there. Infantry will move forward to bolster defenses. At Chungking, 12 divisions are immediately available. 2 will be tasked with eliminating isolated Chinese groups which will free up garrison units. 1 will stay as a garrison. 2 will be sent to be bought out and sent to the Kuriles. 3 will be sent to be bought out and bolster defenses in the Pacific and DEI. The other 4 will be sent to Burma and should free up a couple of unrestricted divisions to move to Sumatra. Some of the artillery at Chungking will be sent back to Manchuko, other bits will be distributed among defensive positions in Malaya and Burma. In Burma, there is the option to launch an attack once the divisions have arrived. I suspect this will get nowhere.
