China: Some staff clown allowed a Chinese Corps to cross a river and attack a big mess of LYB's. I think this unit was entering Chingking from the South but we owned the hexside. Crap. There goes that guy's career. Fortunately, for the Chinese their men are only worth 1/6th of the Japanese.

This attack was planned for Soryu and pals..but they wisely pulled back out of range. Nicely coordinated but one demi-squadron light on escorts. Too bad. Soryu would have been a Roman candle.
