2,533 AV presently at Hangchow. The reduction of fortifications to 2 makes the defenders more vulnerable to air strikes and naval bombardments. Of course more than 800 disabled squads will take a bit to recover. We have some units which are nearly recovered after moving out to friendly bases that will boost AV by a small degree when they return. We will also have a number or the tank units that have ranged across the northern plains back for the next assault.
We attack Tsingtao tomorrow. Both sides have agreed the breweries are off limits.
Zamboagna is secured.

And with that, all of Mindanao is secured! We should be able to order the first attack at Lingayen tomorrow. A fixing force at Cabanatuan, facing almost 8,000 defenders, will then await help from Lingayen before clearing out that location.
China west.
