Since 1 st march, siege of Yunan is ongoing. The japs launch no deliberate attack. The jap force gather 5000 AV, my forces roughly 2500 AV.
Until 6 march, i kept 2/3 of my units on defending stance. The land bombardement of japs caused an average 86 casualties per day (amount 518 in 10 days), my own bombardement caused 558 casualties in these days.
As my bombers were unable to bomb the japs units because of the heavy LRCAP, i decided on 7th march to order most of my troops to bombard, causing 400 japs casualties, and 500 more between 8th and 10th march.
In the same time, my chinese bombers squadrons were so depleted that they are sent to India for refit. 5th RAF squadron was reduced to 2 hurricanes (and 14 pilots) and 60th RAF squadron to 5 Spitfire (13 pilots). They are also sent in India.
On 7th march, 605th RAF Squadron (Spit Vb) and AVG/A are ordered to sweep. ( see next post for screenshot).
Strangely the 2 sweep are scattered, wich at first made me frightened of the result, but it was in fact success !
- first sweep by 9 spitfire of elite 605th sq tangle with 9 oscar, 10 tojo, 25 Tony. For the losses of 3 spit, 8 japs are downed. SLDR Edge is wounded but reach 28 Kills.
- then AVG/A sweep with 12 P-38; for the losses of 1 P-38 it down 12 Tony, 4 Tojo and 7 oscars !
On 8th march, weather prevented any flight.
On 9th march, once more the 2 sweep goes separately. 4 P-38 are downed for 17 Tony, then 5 more Tony are shoot down by 605th sq for no loss.
Tally of the 2 days : 3 spitfire and 5 P-38 for 8 oscar, 9 Tojo , 36 Tony.

Japs units are heading East of Yunan: 1 japs Div, 2 Tank Regiment, 2 Artillery unit . They are stopped by 2 chinese warbands trying to buy time. A first deliberate attack on 1st march is unable to repulse me (although the loss are in jap's favor, 17 mens and 2 vehicules for 150 chinese). But no other attack occur, and until 10th march there are only land bombardement.

West of chungking, 2 japs brigades (500 AV) are unable to throw back 3 chinese warbands (350 AV)

Chungking: land bombardement on each side. The 12 japs units gather 4400 AV, the chinese 4500 AV.
The amount of casualties for the 10 days is 2100 japs for 480 chinese.

"Mount 4432" is the mount just west of Chungking.
In december 42, wanting to expand my line of defence for Chungking, i sent 2 warbands there.
When the japs armored force of 6 japs tanks regiments reached the road north, i feel this place became useless.
Orders were given to this units to walk back to Chungking. But the speed in moutain is so slow that they never had the time to...
On 1st march, the Mongolian Cav Div triggered a shock attack, crossing the river and assaulting a moutain hex. It get badly hurt, with 800 japs casualties for 28 chinese.
But, since, my warbands are stuck in their move, and supplies reduced to nearly 0.
On 6th march start an air pouding by the japs, probably training and also willing to make my squadrons protecting Chungking react there. But there are so much Tony or Jack that i decline the fight.

a lone chinese division, also too slow in the moutain, didn't had the time to escape Sian with the rest of my troops.
It is used as training ground for the japs planes. On 9th march, this unit is reached by a jap unit (unknow yet).
