The Battle of Xuzhou rages.
And simultaneous victory, at Xuzhou and Hefei!
To celebrate, we move into undefended Anqing
And less undefended Xinyang.
But not by much.
As you can see.
Success once again, wonderful. Seems like after the Nanjing trouble was ended in victory your paratroopers have been marching forward winning against the Japanese on all fronts.
I find it quite amusing that in an AAR dedicated to air power, the speed of advance perforce is that of the marching boot.

Now that we've taken Hangzhou, Ningbo is next! And the Japanese are defending it pretty well.
But not well enough!
And once more Yardley is the first to reach it.
And that's actually the end of our offensives south of the Yangtze for a while. So we'll show troops moving, like Stilwell being redeployed to Pyongyang, as it is a lot shorter than walking there
Clark is also being transferred
Two Drop Groups base themselves in Pyongyang.
This is what we've been doing with our NAVs, by the way.
Yup.
The paratroopers win again, splendid. Also very nice to see the naval bombers are doing their part, maybe soon you will have destroyed all Japanese convoys.

Harbin is reached
It looks like Japanese forces are building up in the north
And Changde is finally, finally reached. It's the last Manchurian VP, I believe.
We continue on to Beiping
Easily winning.
And at last, Manchukuo is annexed!
Though thanks to some oddities, there are pockets of starved-out Japanese mountainmen now stuck in Manchuria's wastes. The time it took me to slog through that is only a fraction of what you'll have to face, isolated Japanese! Take that!

But Xuzhou still rages, though the defenders are now handily outnumbered.
And the inevitable
The Fourth Land Corps reaches Xuzhou
And stragglers at Xinyang
Victory at Xinyang while forces pile in Xuzhou
Anqing is strolled into
They keep fighting Xinyang!
Now air recon shows the disposition of Japanese forces in north-central China.
We start a general push along the entire northern front.
Battles rage.
Nice work finally annexing Manchuria, now you can continue into northern China and that is good news. Crossing that river is giving you some battle penalties it seems, so I guess we might actually see some defeats in the future, although I hope not. Shall be interesting to see how long the Japanese will continue fighting.
