10 July: [image]local://upfiles/7036/931D7DAE5F3544FCA3457C717567CFB5.jpg[/image] Here the situation. four Japanese divisions from Nanchang are trying to force their way to Changsa. If they got there I would have a lot of trouble because Japan has that mixed BDE cutting my supply route to Wuhan. If Japan gets to Changsa before I clear the supply route I'm in big trouble. Ground combat at 47,37 Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 73575 troops, 784 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1487 Defending force 85220 troops, 591 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2493 Japanese max assault: 3016 - adjusted assault: 446 Allied max defense: 2236 - adjusted defense: 737 Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 Japanese ground losses:----------------------Allied ground losses: 3560 casualties reported----------------------385 casualties reported Guns lost 111-----------------------------------Guns lost 23 The Japanese main attack fails for now by a significant margin. He will have to bring up additional forces to have a chance so I think no attack next turn. I will send two of my most disrupted corps from this area to try and help clear the road to Wuhan. The rest of my troops will dig in and wait. Next my troops attempt to clear the road with two Corps attacking. Ground combat at 47,35 Allied Shock attack Attacking force 20164 troops, 143 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 971 Defending force 15581 troops, 184 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 329 Allied max assault: 1346 - adjusted assault: 449 Japanese max defense: 328 - adjusted defense: 350 Allied assault odds: 1 to 1 Japanese ground losses:------------Allied ground losses: 56 casualties reported---------------327 casualties reported Guns lost 4----------------------------Guns lost 17 Ground combat at 47,35 Allied Shock attack Attacking force 19238 troops, 123 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 897 Defending force 15417 troops, 182 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 325 Allied max assault: 908 - adjusted assault: 381 Japanese max defense: 323 - adjusted defense: 302 Allied assault odds: 1 to 1 Japanese ground losses:------------------Allied ground losses: 21 casualties reported---------------------710 casualties reported Guns lost 3----------------------------------Guns lost 30 I fail but I'm close. Another Corps is already in hex and will participate in next turns bombardment attacks. Three divisions will arrive next turn from Changsa and hopefully that will be enough. If not I've sent two corps from Ichang overland to the battle and two Corps are moving to the area from the battle between Changsa and Nanchang. Once I clear the road my troops at Wuhan will pull out and we will try and reestablish the status Quo. Other Area's: Mostly quite. In Burma I butchered another bunch of A6M3's inflicting better then 1-1 air to air losses. I don't know why he has not rotated these guys out as they have to be using untrained pilots by now. At Numea my mining operation is preceding nicely. 1000 mines in Kumac already with other locations being mined with subs. In Alaska some Japanese surface ships are about but I'm not impressed. Unless he brings KB he will have trouble interfering with my operations here.
