 Chengtu is secured; at Nanking the attack will continue tomorrow against 10,000 hold-outs; two units at Chengting will move east to hit Imperials in the open. Our units already there, which might have caught them in Strategic movement mode, is massively disrupted by unfettered enemy air strikes. There won't be much help for that in the near future as AA and/or air support are some time away. Another tank Bde is also railing in from securing Tsiaotso, not far behind the current front.
 
 Chungking is now surrounded and sufficient strength is in position (units able to defend themselves) that we are now moving into that city. The cream of the Chengtu assaulters are also now moving. A few of the Chinese Army units which freed Chengtu will stand there to recover damage.

 Maizuru 1st SNLF Wiped Out at Cagayan by attrition!!!
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 More rest needed at Cebu, but a partial attack to clear recalcitrants at Cagayan will be made tomorrow.
 
 No nighttime sweeps flew again... Tomorrow over the Home Islands is forecast 'only' as Overcast, so we will try for the 61x Ki-84r Frank factory complex at Maebashi. There are many aircraft factories there, including a 33x Ki-84r Frank factory complex, but so far Recon shows only 167 guns. P-51D and P-47N will sweep ahead of the B-29 groups. Or behind them.
 
 China west.
