Home Islands west. It will be about 4 days until convoys reach the farthest units for loading for the Kochi invasion. The warships from Hokkaido will set off a little before then to allow transit and at sea refueling.

China frontier. How much of Manchuria will the Chinese Army be able to recover before the Soviets enter? (Yes, restricted Chinese units will be allowed in Manchuria/Manchukuo without paying PP.)

Home Islands east. The B-29 night versions hit Tokyo and brought Fires to about 23,000, leaving 10,000 burning today. The fighter sweeps were largely unopposed, netting only a few stray Imperial fighters. The 320 fighters seen by recon at Tokyo are being held in reserve, perhaps to oppose the next landing. Tomorrow the sweepers will go again, and so will the B24J and the daytime B-29 models. This will be the last B-29 action before the Kochi operation because they are need to mine Osaka and they take so long to come ready. Rain is forecast, so the results expected are in question. The night B-29 variants will fly a rare twice in a row to fatigue the AA gunnners, and of course provide any additional damage they can.

China east. There seems to be a great deal more damage done to the defenders at Hangchow by ground bombing lately, which I attribute to a combination of reduction in fortification level and disruption among the AA assets. I have high hopes for the next assault.

Home Islands east. The USN fleet is on the move, and reorganizing as it goes. It turns out there are not enough carrier escorts on site (many DD are undergoing upgrades and repairs at Hakodate) for the new (self-imposed) restriction of no more than 4x CV/CVL in each USN CV TF, so many DD from Okinawa will meet the fleet on the way.

Air losses. I'm not sure what these are because nothing showed up in the combat replay or the reports, but maybe they were kamikaze strikes ordered against our CVE TF in transit that failed to find their targets due to weather.

Tatung will likely be as far as the armour goes. When Chinese Army units are available to take over garrison duties, the armour will pull back and either help with Hankow and Hangchow or rest to prepare for HI ops.

China west. The horde of Chinese Army units heading for Tuyun is causing massively-supply wasting over stacking on the road. I am doing my best to spread them out and reduce the damage, but I am paying the price for getting impatient.

Home Islands west. Convoys at Amami Oshima and at Taihoku are beginning to load the remaining units for the Kochi invasion. Most convoys in the Marianas have completed loading and are heading for Daito Shoto. Two are still loading supplies. Notice that a (possibly) 7-ship Imperial TF of small combatants has sortied just west of Saishu To.
