These ships were heading north but turned around once spotted... Allied fighters have also gained airsupremacy above Bangkok at least temporarily. This is definately good news. I'am having some issues getting supplies into Pegu from Rangoon. It is now slowly piling up but it definately has been slow. Oh well.. we continue our advance once we are ready. The good news is that China is definately in good shape due to supplies there now. It might even have some punch to launch an offensive in forthcoming months. Sub kills: xAK Brasil Maru, xAK Kuretake Maru, xAK Glasgow Maru, xAK Koki Maru, xAK Biwa Maru and TK Shoyo Maru
