You should bomb the infrastructure instead of the units. It'd wreck their ESE and stop their reorganizing. There is little point in bombing DugIn20-units...

GRAND ADMIRAL HYAKUTAKE! YOU ARE NOW OUR ARCH-NEMESIS!
Air General Spaatz is promoted! Also in the screenshot you can see that the rest of USA-held Japan is defenseless! All for Shikoku!
And we take the bombings straight to the Japanese with a port strike on Shikoku!
Argh Subs. Wow, if they stay in the Inland Sea... Bad things...
Alright, another opening. And this time, we're sending everything we have at them!
Everything!
Including the paradropping of the Second Drop Corps!
The bombing is intense.
And what's this? Oh noes! The four supporting Drop Corps from Honshu have all been forced to stop attacking, possibly by a single Japanese destroyer! Eisenhower is all alone, and if he loses, the entire Drop Corps will be lost...
Which is why it's a good thing he didn't!
Great work by Eisenhower destroying the large Japanese force, good thing he didn’t fail, would have been bad to lose the entire corps. Also now you should get more possibilities to control the Japanese sea and then you can really destroy their pathetic navy.
Very Presidential of Eisenhower!
You were Lucky Anon! Very very lucky! (Or brilliant)
You were Lucky Anon! Very very lucky! (Or brilliant)
That was a close call, lucky he survived, now there's nothing stopping you from taking all of the home islands.

Operation Tan Barracuda
As our land forces recover from Pink Cod, our air units continue operations in the sea. And an ample opportunity presents itself. With air bases on the Home Islands, we can actually begin to strike Japanese naval formations in the Sea of Japan itself! The remnants of the IJN operating in this theatre are quickly being hunted down.
All fear Grand Admiral Nagano, Grand Admiral of three Light Cruisers and a DD-1!
Scratch that last part.
Air Lt. General Mitscher is promoted.
Meanwhile, Grand Admiral Nagano the Three-Light-Carriered continues to be whittled down.
And these subs become Japan's most valuable naval asset, as they can perform the annoying roles of strait crossing blocking and transport sinking while taking forever to sink by NAV...
In this special episode of 'Where Are They Now?', we look to the fate of Grand Admiral Soemu Toyoda, who once commanded a Carrier Group in the earlier days of the war. But those glory days are apparently long behind him, with the sinking of just about every ship with a Japanese flag on it, and now Toyoda is reduced to commanding a defenseless transport flotilla as it desperately tries to ferry Japanese troops from the Asian continent to the desperate defense of the Home Islands. But even at this, he is soon to fail. He must be an alcoholic by now.
And in this episode, Air Lt. General Eaker bombs Grand Admiral Hyakutake!
EVERYBODY BOMB GRAND ADMIRAL SABORU HYAKUTAKE!!!
You are a very strange individual, Anonymous. And that is why I enjoy your writing so much. Pretty soon the IJN is going to be down to a canoe and a rubber duckie. KUTGW!
Grand Admiral Soemu Toyoda looks very much worse for wear. If not an alcoholic, at least his pic is very very depressed looking!
Impressive work by the bombers there. Seems like the Japanese admirals might as well start drinking at once, all of them, because I don’t think they will stay as admirals for much longer when you have destroyed their fleet, so they might as well start to drink…

Maneuverings
We've seen Russians, Japaneses, and Manchukuoans stepping up to lead Japan's armed forces in the defense of her empire. And now, we see Indians.
Meanwhile, the Second Drop Corps tries to get off of Shikoku, resorting to Strategic Redeployment as their crossing attempts keep getting sabotaged by the Japanese Grand Battle Fleets.
Seeing that the Japanese are about to waltz into their precious capital, the Third Drop Corps is sent east to prevent that.
Now General Malin Craig is leading the First Land Corps, which is still waiting in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, two new Land Corps have been formed.
Also, we rebase some of our Air Groups.
The USN Fleet 10 begins to ferry the First Land Corps to Tokyo.
It is joined by two other fleets ferrying the other two Land Corps.
