Japan aggression against China Tactics (1937 Marcopolo Bridge Incident)
======================================================
* Supply is the key. It's okey to have some ARTs brigades and one or two LT divisions compensated with reduction in troop level. MixLT with the MOT in the Imperial Guard for combined arm. Keep battleships in Eastern China Sea and South China Sea for bombardment. Base TAC in airfield separately supplied from mainland, such as Port Arthur or Taichung. Use Carrier for additional air support. Use Guards to fill gaps in fronts. If against a KMT human player, land an army at Shanghai to attract KMT force.
* Shanxi Clique collapse very quickly after assault by 6 or 7 divisions. Key is holding Daguko Port. After Sanxi Clique collapsed, contact front to build defense positions in the west and push towards Tsintao Port in southeast.
* Against Guangxi Clique, land in Hainan Island reinforced with MTN divisions. Land INF at Meixian and build a small port to capture Guangzhou. Landing near Guangzhou may lack of supply but will be alive again after connecting with Hainan Island. Trap enemy troops near the coast when connecting Hannan and Guangzhou. Wedge north of Guangzhou to cut-off supplies to enemy troops in the east. Use MTN divisions to push for Guelin and use CAV to exploit.
* Land in Tsintao Port with MTN divisions and connect with Northern Army Group. Securing Tsintao Port will resolve supply problem in the north.
* Most of KMT army should be pin down in the northern front. Land a Corp in Shanghai and quickly capture Nanjing.
* Nanjin fells at about the same time Guangxi Clique surrenders. KMT army should be in disorganization with bulk of KMT army pinned in the north. Use CAVs from south to capture western cities. Southern Army Group should have an easy walk towards Wuhan cities. Northern Army could capture Jinan, Luoyan and start circling the CCP from the south. KMT should surrender, and CCP should now be easily conquered from the south while its main force is pined up near Peking.
* CAVs sent to capture western cities can continue on to capture Xibei Ma Clique
* Move troops to the French Indochina border and southern ports to get ready for land grab before Vichy event.
