Part 915: Operational Report: 08/06/44

The Drum reports seeing a Japanese cruiser patrolling where I can get no ships. The Japanese don't want to lose another ship it seems.



The Japanese finally react to me having a base on Urrupu-jima with a rather ineffectual night bombing raid.



Having reduced the two Hokkaido cities industry to ruins, I decide to hit the resource producing areas.







We see some large raids on Prome.







The day here starts with a fighter clash.



I get a little worried when a load of Jills come at me, but with no fighter support, we drive them off with nearly 50% losses.



We then take heavy losses trying to get a destroyer.



Tinian has fighters still, and I take heavy losses trying to supress them.



The landings begin, and are less brutal than I expected.







We continue the grind at KIAfeng, I shall rest the men for a while now.









Men are finally ashore at Guam, and it looks like I may have brought enough of them to secure the island! I have 20,000 men ashore on day 1, and the Japanese have 28,000 total! The Japanese plane losses are still high.
