Well billy is pulling out of soochow! He only has 1 unit in soochow now so i'm going to go onto the offensive. I will try to blockade the only port that is available to evac from.
I'm hoping the tide has turned. I've used the us navy to take out his ML fleet several destroyers. I hope this is the beginning of the end. I don't have the ground forces to really do much to stop him but i will do what i can. I might try an amphib invasion to cut off his retreat!

Well i think billy is either demoralized or tryign to pull another coup de main like he did in russia. I noticed 33 units on their way to nanchang. He's going to try to encircle me the long way! But i have the 3rd Australian division 2 turns out from teistan they are goign to land their and cut off any supplys to the main japanese army. I will then have the 1st Australian Division which is 2 weeks out land there as well and try to strengthen the hold. I might let him pull into nanchang and try to make him think he has me beaten then move in for the kill.

I hope this doesn't blow up in my face. With the US fleet here so close to a level 9 port i think i'm goign to be able to effectively kill billy. I have 7 ML's enroute to shanghai i want to close the ports of japan. I want to make it impossible for him to supply his troops and i want to make it impossible for him to get his troops back to main land japan for defense. I want to do to him like the russians did to napoleon, invite billy into the center of china and then cut off all his supplys and make him die.

This is a big gamble i hope it doesn't result in the loss of an australian division!

But one thing is clear for now i own the sea with 12 14INCH battleships in the ocean around shanghai.
