 The ex-defenders of Wakkanai and Guiuan are being ground down and are not long for this game. The PB4Y squadron that has been bombing troops at Wakkanai lost its target (LCU destroyed) and sought out a new one. At Tokyo. With predictable results. Doh!
 
 Air losses. Our sweeps of Okayama yielded much fruit. Nagasaki/Sasebo had few defenders in the air.
