War in the Pacific

by Grey Hunter

Part 953: Operational Report: 16/07/44





Dammit, we still have a few of these things hanging around then.



Having brought the level bombers offline, I reactivate the dive bombers.



The Express hits the Lily factory again.



The Japanese make a kamikaze attack on ships unloading more support troops at Uruppu-jima.



The next wave contains a new plane type, and this does a lot more damage.







This is starting to get freaky.







I'm going to switch these bombers over to hitting the ground forces now, in preparation for the invasion.



On Guam, the Japanese make the worst bombardment attack ever.



We are going to have to rest our troops however, even with the casualties well in our favour.







The next wave goes in at KIAfeng.



Then a massed collapse occurs. This is not the full list of wiped out unit either!



This is – from the combat logs.

That was painful in the north, but fantastic in China. The surrounded units will not last long now.



At least my battleship seems okay. This can't be said of all my ships.



Ah well, I can afford to lose a few ships.

Surely, by that time Japan will be at it's knees, or at Grey will take Kaifeng... right! Right?

In the most respectful manner, Up Yours!
