I-10 off Arorae reported an enemy transport ship unloading forces at Arorae. She tried unsuccesfully to engage her at night.

A Striking Group with 13 D3A1 and 9 A6M2 take off from my flag ship to sink her after be struck by 4 250kgs bombs.

Like planned yesterday, CARDIV 2 - CARDIV 5 Dive Bombers Daitai flying a ground strike against enemy units landed at Arorae. 116 D3A1 escorted by 36 A6M2 reported 296 enemy casualties from 4th USN Naval Construction Bn.

24th Air Flotilla at Marshalls strike with 8 IJN level bombers at 10th USN Naval Cosntruction Bn reporting another 59 casualties.

Must be reported to IJA XVII ARMY Intel Section the two ground units at Arorae are identified, both like worker units. IJA or IJN landings will end easily with the enemy works.

HIJMS KAGA with 24 Flood damage have not problems to follow up with operations around Gilbert islands.

No enemy carriers spotted but all our available torpedo bombers are ready to fly an anti-ship mission when sighted.

Long Live to the Emperor !

hahaha For sure, I´ll be as careful as possible.. The main offensive will be in the North, with near 7,000 AV at south of Sian and 5 Armoured Tank Regiments supported by 41st I.D in the north. Sian is cut off. In few days I hope the air strikes will down Jonathan´s supply dump and my ground offensive will start. Will be a carnage, for sure.. but a needed carnage.. Sian is a great prize.
If both offensives -northern and southern- happily end with the capture of Kweiling and Sian. If both cities falls, chinese will be under serious difficulties, I hope!.
Best wishes
Ramón

HIJMS IKAZUCHI under LtCdr S.Kudo will patrol forward us under a estrict ASW condition. An ASW chutai from Akagi´s B5N2 Air Group will be dettached to fly air mission over us at ASW duties.

Enemy have known we are withdrawing Home!. General Quarters to all carriers have sound to be ready if enemy try to disturb our movements.

Thank you very much for your wise advise...
XVI Army is working hard to take the city with XXIII Army trying to cut eastern railroad to eastern China. It will not be easy due Jonathan massive effort to defend the southern cities.

I am confident with the japanese efforts in three diferent fronts at China (China-Burmese around Tsuyung, Southern China around Kweilin and Northern China around Sian). I am taken many losses, but reemplacement rates are good (and probably better than chinese, and chinese city taken is a lost for resources/supply to the chinese poor logistic). I am ready to lost as many courageous lifes to get the final prize: the end of the Chungking Regime.

If I get this target, the game will be very difficult for allies, IMHO.

Kind Regards,
Ramón
