Our subs are trying, really they are. One was pummeled near Hong Kong.
Quiet in China.
Same around Chiang Mai and on the Malay Peninsula. Never send armour down a railway trail. The Sabang invasion convoy is loading supplies. Recon of Sabang should begin tomorrow.
Attacks at Hanoi and Vinh went well.

One or two of our armored units at Haiphong will cross the river into Hanoi tomorrow, their shock attack on the flank adding to the continued assault of the divisions. There was a large Helen raid on that armor that was attrited and smartly disrupted by RAF No. 146 Sqn with 16x Thunderbolt I operating at Haiphong. More units will rest at Vinh so tomorrow's attack will be much smaller. The 4x CA TF will bombard tonight. That 2x CL TF was delayed by offshore fishing at Vinh and so cannot make Cam Ranh Bay to rearm for another 2 days.
A number of C-46A transport aircraft at Moulmein are commencing to transport the 11th LRP Bde to Haiphong.
The attack at Ternate again went well enough.

Those defenders are stubborn, most of all about keeping our squads away from their defensive position during attacks (low adjusted AV for our guys). The terrain and fortifications are heavily in their favor.
