Do Japanese troops surrender?

I thought that they did bansai and evaporate instead.

Allies keep pushing thru, bombing with every plane in their inventory. LRCAP has almost 0 chance of downing a 4E beast now, but I do splash 7 Migs. He has to run out at some point, doesn't he?

Nice knowing you China...

Status: offline 		Point of information: Planes with torpedo as the primary ordinance do not particularly care about being set to 1000 feet, in terms of the number of bombs they will drop. What I mean by this is that those Catalinas have a "reduced load" of 4x 250lb bombs, which is their regular bomb load whether they are on normal/extended or 2k+/1k- altitude. Basically, they can attack at 1K without the bomb load penalty.

Still, the bombs are effective against unarmored ships like merchants and even the lightly armored cruisers. A bunch of them will also burn the topside from battleships.

Status: offline 		The KB, such that it is, has been safeguarding our last source of oil...and the Allies send multiple small task forces hunting it. The Deathstar is probably in striking range.

None of the KB has been upgraded, so they carry some decent guns for naval skirmishes.

There is a screening SAG, but I suspect the IJN is in trouble here during the night.

All floatplanes fly night search in this area, but are unreliable because of the weather. Still, better than nothing.

Very large American forces are in or next to Hankow already.

Manage to destroy another 50 Soviet tanks here...but the Soviets are maneuvering to the west where it will be tough to stop them.
