China east. Probably in two days we will order the next attack on Hangchow. The next attack at Hankow will take a little longer. Both attacks should do very well.

Home Islands west. The Tokara Retto invasion convoys are still loading supplies. As of tomorrow the last of teh Kichi convoys will be at Daito Shoto, where they will reorganize and pick up mine sweepers. Warships are refueling at sea to the southeast. The mine layers are heading into Daito Shoto to refuel.

Home Islands west. A group of MTB were laid into by a DD TF clearing the way for tonights bombardment. D-Day for Tokara Retto is approaching. The USN fleet continues refueling near Daito Shoto and will complete that task tomorrow. The assault convoys have been reorganized and allocated planty of mine sweepers. Tomorrow's weather is forecast rain, but all the daytime B-29 variants and the B-24 groups operating against the HI will hit the airfields at Osaka/Kyoto (292 fighters, 32 auxiliary) and Kobe (13 fighters, 471 bombers, 91 auxiliary). I've decided that the B-29 nighttime variant will fly the daylight mining mission against Osaka/Kyoto harbor. Tokyo (355 fighters, 340 bombers, 153 auxiliaries), and Hiroshima/Kure (542 fighters, 47 bombers) will be targeted after. Kobe will be swept tomorrow, and a small number of B-29 (the remaining B-29-1) will hit the airfield. The British subs are in place to mine Kobe harbor, and the USN destroyer mine layers will race ahead of the invasion to mine the hex just southwest of Kobe. The CVE and surface combat elements that have already refueled will move to just off of Daito Shoto in preparation for jump off.

The Tokara Retto invasion force will move to a point just off of the target escort will be very light compared to the Kochi invasion, but overhead will be an enourmous number P-47D in addition to the British carrier fighters and those from two USN CVE TF.

There are now 97,000 haggard Imperial troops in clear terrain, surrounded by Allied air bases and with Allied armor setting out after them. The several Allied divisions least battered are also on the move, although all Allied infantry units are disrupted. Most of the infantry will stay put to recover.

The air strikes against air base complexes at Kobe and Osaka/Kyoto did their jobs: Kobe = 78% damage; Osaka/Kyoto = 70% damage. The B-29-25 groups had a comparatively easy time over Kobe. The B-24J groups, even with strong P-38 escort, had a bloody time over Osaka/Kyoto first encountering strong CAP and then heavy flak defenses over the targets. All groups fought their way through, and the casualties show it. The much less numerous B-29-1 achieved a number of hits on Hiroshima/Kure (7% damage). Fighter sweeps hit all three targets and did help, but the CAP over Osaka/Kyoto was just plain large. Still, in the later morning the CAP was fatigued enough that small packets of B-24J were able to get through large numbers of CAP fighters even without escorts.

Tomorrow the B-29-1 plus the B-29-25 stationed with them at Taihoku will target Hiroshima/Kure, with the P-51D from Tokunoshima again sweeping that target. The B-29-25 and B-24J stationed on Hokkaido will target Tokyo. Although Tokyo's fighters have remained on the ground during recent strikes, they just might be on alert with the obvious invasion steaming in. The P-38 squadrons again will fly escort, and so will the P-51D squadrons stationed at Hakodate. P-47N will sweep. Some additional B-24J squadrons (only half the aircraft in ready condition) have been flown in from the Marianas to bolster the ranks.

The aerial mining mission is on for tomorrow for Osaka/Kyoto harbor. The british subs will dash in tonight to lay mines in Kobe harbor. The destroyer mine layers will remain close to the fleet until nearer to target, within sprinting range. Recon is showing a number of CL at Hiroshima/Kure, so we will not get everything bottled up.

China west.

Air losses, with single planes omitted. It was a very tough day for B-24J crews, but I am glad to have destroyed so many bombers and fighters poised to hit our approaching ships.
