The ex-defenders of Wakkanai and Guiuan are being ground down and are not long for this game. The PB4Y squadron that has been bombing troops at Wakkanai lost its target (LCU destroyed) and sought out a new one. At Tokyo. With predictable results. Doh!

Air losses. Our sweeps of Okayama yielded much fruit. Nagasaki/Sasebo had few defenders in the air.

Japanese Unit(s) surrounded at Tungchow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Hankow, two units were just crossing the river and did not attack. I think they were supposed to shock attack but did not change from Move to Combat mode so I know they did not. When Michael releases the next Beta that might be fixed. At any rate they will be available to attack next time as will the Australian 9th Division, which is now beginning to march across the bridges from Wuchang. Our air units striking in support of the assault had a hard time and are standing down until next time. We did reduce the defenders' fortification level and I regard that as a good sign.

Tomorrow we attack at Nanking against a much smaller force with more powerful forces of our own. Chengtu is overcrowded in spite of no new arrivals today as many units are still on the move out to countryside campsites. A supply airlift from India will start tomorrow to supplement what can be brought to Chengtu overland.

Weather over the region continues to be lousy, and many bombs made no hits on Light Industry at Shanghai so far as I could see.

Wakkanai is secured.
