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

The two units still have almost 11,000 troops between them, but with all their AV destroyed they can't last must longer.

The Kumamoto invasion fleet is putting to sea and will link up with most of the portion of the fleet that has been supporting the Saishu To operation. Tomorrow is forecast rain, so it is very uncertain if the Imperial death gliders will even find the fleet or if our fighters will even find the Imperial death gliders. Landings will commence the day after, accompanied by old USN BB bombardments. The RN/French BBs will bombard Nagasaki/Sasebo to suppress the airfield and small warships in port. Of course those might put to sea upon seeing the fleet tomorrow, but that's what we can do. Two CVE TF are staying to cover shipping at Saishu To until it's fighter strip is built tomorrow.

The first raid in was savaged by CAP but made effective bomb runs despite losses. The remaining raids to arrive did not lose any planes. A goodly number of ground kills sweetened the damage done to the air field. The purpose of the strike was to reduce the effectiveness of this well stocked airfield against the upcoming invasion.

No kamikaze or other attacks on the invasion fleet today. All is according to plan (we're doomed), so the landings go in tomorrow at Kumamoto. There are 69,200 defenders with 660 guns and 486 AFV in 22 units awaiting us there. Piece of cake.

Status: offline 		Home Islands west. A busy day! First off, the landings went well. In spite of the fact that two AKA convoys will begin landing tonight (they had not been ordered to leave Naha with the rest), and that the entire USA 38th Division was left on the docks at Taihoku staring at their ships waiting for the order to load. They are loading now, and will land as soon as possible. No matter, that will simply serve to confuse the Imperial Intel analysts. Taihoku is a large port but cannot dock the convoy in question, still let's call it one day to load (I'll cancel any additional supply loading), 2 to 2.5 days in transit with unloading commencing on that third day.

In keeping with my inovative use of B-29 to sweep away enemy fighters, I have decided to use CVE to clear mines.

TF 505 encounters mine field at Nagasaki/Sasebo (102,58)

Allied Ships
DD Whelp, Mine hits 1



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were also many encounters with MTB, but no Allied injuries were suffered and the several bombardment task forces thus intercepted were not deterred. Speaking of which, all bombardments were effective. In particular, the supporting strikes against Nagasaki/Sasebo put some hurt on air operations there, which was the primary objective.

Nice job on the clean-ups around the map!

How are your mined ships faring?

They're knackered, but I didn't notice any in danger of sinking save those already fouling local fishermen's lines.

Looking at the opposition at Kumamoto - and I know it can change quickly with the road/rail net - I think we will bust through all right because it is clear terrain and we have lots of bombers hitting it plus the battleships. I'm toying with the idea of making the first attack before that other divisions arrives on scene. What I'm uncertain about is that tank division! But for there to be 6 other divisions there and only ~1,700 total AV means the units are pretty weak. Maybe they are some of the HI reinforcement divisions or something?

Status: offline 		Your troops have some pretty good anti-armour values by now, so unless the Japanese made a bunch of Type 3 tanks you should be OK.
I seem to recall the last-ditch Japanese reinforcements of the HI being called "Depot Division". That could have been changed in an update because it is a tip-off that the troops are green and poorly equipped.

Can Tracker trace those division numbers in the CR and find out if they are being rebuilt from earlier destruction?
