At Luzon, aerial and artillery bombardments of the allied positions in Manila and Lucena continue. The allies reinforce the position in Manila with the 1st PA division, bringing their total AV in the hex to a little over 400. Latest reports have the Japanse AV in the hex at a little more than 900. The allied division at Lucena shows a little over 100 AV. The Japanese units there are two brigade fragments from the crack 4th brigade, the 8th tank regiment, and the 2nd Recon. In China, the Japanese come again at Hong Kong, overruning the final British fortifications. Now, the British hold only a 100 m line around the Harbor, but they do not surrender: not even the heavily battered Canadians. A good show of resolve by the Commonwealth forces. Ground combat at Hong Kong (77,61) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 23757 troops, 333 guns, 188 vehicles, Assault Value = 678 Defending force 5671 troops, 125 guns, 78 vehicles, Assault Value = 132 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese adjusted assault: 672 Allied adjusted defense: 341 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 226 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 23 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 3 disabled Allied ground losses: 216 casualties reported Squads: 53 destroyed, 8 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 6 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Guns lost 12 (8 destroyed, 4 disabled) Assaulting units: 1st Ind.Inf.Group 38th Division 19th Ind.

It will arrive too late, however, to trap most of the Chinese units as the allies have done a very good job in China getting their units moving and into coherent defensive positions. 821Bobo is putting his extensive experience as a ground forces general to good use.
