Bombers.
I gave Raipur a poke last turn. Nothing but Nicks flying CAP, but, weirdly, I shot down few of them.

They'll fly again next turn, with me adding P-51Bs to the sweep. B-24s from Delhi will also join in. Damage to the airfield was only around 10%, despite the bombers being unmolested.
More B-24s at Hyderabad will do a night raid on the heavy industry at Calcutta. I'm pessimistic, but we'll see.
My troops there are still under their nightly bombardments from IJN cruisers. HMS Trusty is enroute with some mines, so maybe I can break it up a bit. The RN still has its supply of mines, so I'm using their subs for the job lately.
B-29s are hitting the refineries at Rangoon again, since no fighters appear to have been sent there. Two more squadrons than last time. The two at Karachi are still trying to heal their last planes. Supposedly, they'll be ready next turn.
More RAF Liberators are on an AKV from Aden to Karachi.
Most of my railed troops have reached the Benares area and are unpacking. I'll focus more eastwards, taking the unheld or underheld bases, leaving enough to guard here also.
Carriers departed Cape Town. Still 29 days to reach Panama.
