The paras will also bolster Allied forces in the area. We also now have 2 units on the road well west of Mengtze making their way to the battle for Kunming. • Our troops near Tsuyung are still recovering for the next assault. • The last two enemy units in Nanning, which were retreated to the NE, are still in that hex (harassed by air strikes) and making their way to the road NE of their position. We have units heading to that hex to obstruct them just to keep them out of the fight for longer and potentially trap them. • As our forces blast through enemy defenses in Wuchow we will have some units in place to prevent them from retreating to Canton. Likewise, we will seek to prevent enemy forces in Canton from retreating to Hong Kong. • Some of the >70,000 enemy ejected from Liuchow are now entering Kweilin. In addition to tactical air strikes our 4EB are doing everything they can to denude Kweilin of supply each and every turn. India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia Nighttime Stuff • Best raid so far. quote:
