Great news near Chengtu - we have cut off the very effective Imperial combat units that were racing to join the defense there. The 20th Corps missed attacking the IJA HQ unit because it exited the hex, moving toward Chengtu, AND those 4 units in question did not enter the hex! So the Allies own all the hex sides, meaning if those units now enter the hex they will be in a cul de sac with other Allied units still in pursuit. The 20th will move to engage the fleeing HQ because other, stronger Allied units will cross the river tomorrow and defend the position. Also, by occupying the next hex toward Chengtu the 4 units will be virtually cut off from Chengtu even if retreated and moving cross country.
Our 4EB hit the 4 units to slow their movement even in the Woods-Rough terrain. As far as I can tell from the combat replay, the presence of the 20th in that hex might not be known to the Japanese, so they might keep moving. But if they have detected the 20th and do stop where they are now, continued 4EB strikes (plus the others) will be important to ease the river-crossing shock attack of the pursuing units a few days hence.
Only one Betty raid at Ichang, and the 17th Motorised is down to 38% disruption. Tomorrow local CAP will be back in the sky where it belongs.
The Cocos Islands had been starved out.

An interesting bit: one of the strikes based at Naha was tracked all the way from that base, which means the Empire has radar that is covering Naha.
