23-25 May 1942 SIGINT 40th Division is planning for an attack on Changsha. 2nd Raiding Regiment is planning for an attack on Fenton. DEI Soerabaja falls and with it the last significant port in Allied hands in Southeast Asia passes on the Japanese Empire. China Just about all the action over these past 3 days is in China, focusing on Sian and Lanchow. Combat reports are arranged by date with Sian first followed by Lanchow. I haven't been keeping an eye on the numbers but CTG has and he tells me I've lost 1,650 Chinese squads over the past week of game time. Think that's a bit of creative accounting there since he's probably counting disabled as killed but it doesn't take away the fact that I've lost a fair chunk of AV trying to hold Sian, the last attack on the 25th was particularly painful with 436 squads destroyed so that's a month and a change of worth of squads right there. On the bright side, I don't have as many mouths to feed as I did a week ago game time. War humor, how's that for an oxymoron. ----------------------------- Ground combat at Sian (83,41) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 65337 troops, 648 guns, 95 vehicles, Assault Value = 1230 Defending force 45697 troops, 195 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 934 Japanese adjusted assault: 1779 Allied adjusted defense: 827 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2531 casualties reported Squads: 70 destroyed, 106 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 22 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 37 disabled Allied ground losses: 2678 casualties reported Squads: 53 destroyed, 212 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 52 disabled Engineers: 4 destroyed, 15 disabled ----------------------------- Ground combat at Sian (83,41) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 63745 troops, 648 guns, 95 vehicles, Assault Value = 1115 Defending force 43582 troops, 195 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 730 Japanese adjusted assault: 781 Allied adjusted defense: 573 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(+), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 2644 casualties reported Squads: 50 destroyed, 223 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 25 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 15 disabled Guns lost 30 (1 destroyed, 29 disabled) Allied ground losses: 2360 casualties reported Squads: 206 destroyed, 49 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 39 disabled Engineers: 18 destroyed, 4 disabled Guns lost 24 (15 destroyed, 9 disabled) ----------------------------- Ground combat at Sian (83,41) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 61743 troops, 647 guns, 95 vehicles, Assault Value = 929 Defending force 41365 troops, 182 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 695 Japanese adjusted assault: 1235 Allied adjusted defense: 317 Japanese assault odds: 3 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Sian !!!
