There are over a dozen units at Kunming, would Miller have sent them BEFORE doing his desperate deliberate attacks here, he would have had a good chance to drive my troops out again. Nevertheless, I have ordered some reinforcements to march towards Kweiyang also. Will take some time though, distance is 240 miles, going over the road coming from the East.

DD Shaw, operating with 5 other destroyers near Midway was sunk in a bold attack by the Japanese sub I-153! BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! [sm=character0169.gif] USS Shaw (DD-373), 1936-1946 USS Shaw, a 1,500-ton Mahan class destroyer built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, was commissioned in September 1936. She made a trans-Atlantic shakedown cruise in 1937, steamed to South America in mid-1938, and transfered to the Pacific soon thereafter. Operations along the west coast and in Hawaiian waters followed in 1939-41. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, Shaw was in drydock at the Navy Yard there. Enemy bombs set her afire and her forward magazines exploded, severing her bow and wrecking her bridge area. However, Shaw's midships and stern portions were still essentially intact. Following temporary repairs at Pearl Harbor, in February 1942 she went to the Mare Island Navy Yard for a new bow and general overhaul. When this work was completed in late June 1942, Shaw spent several months in training and convoy escort duties. Sent to the South Pacific in October 1942, she participated in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands late in that month. While supporting the Guadalcanal Campaign, she ran aground at New Caledonia on 10 January 1943, requiring a trip to Pearl Harbor for extensive repairs. Shaw returned to the war zone in October 1943 and took part in operations around New Guinea and New Britain. She was hit in an air attack off Cape Gloucester on 26 December 1943. After repair of that damage, she operated in the Central Pacific, including participation in the invasion of Guam. From October 1944 into 1945, Shaw escorted Western Pacific convoys and help liberate Luzon and other parts of the Philippines. When the Pacific war ended in August 1945, Shaw had just completed another overhaul, including major enhancement of her anti-aircraft armament. However, she was too old for retention in the post-war fleet and was sent to the U.S. east coast for inactivation. Decommissioned in October 1945, USS Shaw was scrapped in July 1946. This page features all our pre-World War II views of USS Shaw, plus a few taken during the 7 December 1941 Pearl Harbor Raid, and provides links to virtually all our other images of this ship.

The second big victory in China after the fall of Changsha with over 100.000 troops surrendering there. At Hengchow, 18 enemy units surrender, including 6 HQs. The enemy losses were worth over 700 victory points... Never had such an advantage in China so early. Our troops are marching on Chungking (where they will only hold their position), I have an army sitting at Kweiyang (holding position to block enemy attacks out of the town) and now I have some 4500 assault points available to wear down the defenders at Wuchow. Of course after the bloody fights at Hengchow my troops involved there need time to get back to strenght as I don´t really like to use divisions that are below 90% combat readiness. Most of my Hengchow troops are between 80 and 85/100 now.

I have two bgds coming in on the road from the East now, will take another 3 or 4 days to see them arriving thouhg. I´m amazed that the Chinese still can field such a high assault value here. I expect the same (or even more) at Chungking, Northern China isn´t really strong though (I´m neither) and the Western bases are all mostly stripped with the troops taking position at Kweiyang. We will hold position here while killing off the enemy in Wuchow and we will also move into Chungking within the next couple of turns with a force of about 2000 assault points. Easily strong enough to hold off Chinese attacks as we should get a nice adjusted av with the urban bonus in Chungking. Will be interesting if Miller will order an attack at Chungking as soon as my troops will have arrived there. With the experience so far, I guess he will... [;)]

I see that there is no action what so ever in the Aleutians. Is that by design or luck?? Has there been any base expansion done there by Miller?? Sometimes as the Allies I focus on fort building until the winter penalty is over (don't some up in reports). With his attacks on Wake, I would try a spring offensive up here.

I knew Miller would order an attack and I knew the outcome. [:D] Impossible to attack 2400+ assault points in urban terrain, this is suicide. The Chinese not just took a lot of losses, they surely burnt a lot of precious supply also. The supply situation must really become desperate in the next months, I guess that the Chinese get some 2000 supply points each day, which is by far not enough to supply the 500.000 troops in China, especially when I order a prolonged offensive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kweiyang [:D] Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 125286 troops, 831 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 3266 Defending force 93519 troops, 1061 guns, 24 vehicles, Assault Value = 2039 Allied max assault: 3332 - adjusted assault: 1574 Japanese max defense: 1998 - adjusted defense: 2279 Allied assault odds: 0 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 802 casualties reported Guns lost 26 Vehicles lost 3 Allied ground losses: 4980 casualties reported Guns lost 97 not surprising either, Miller tried another attack at Kweiyang with the again not surprising outcome! [:D] His desperate attempts make me really confident regarding the war on the continent.
