At first everything seemed very nice; but then in the end you lost… well there is always next time, some more forces and then attack them again. In the long run you have to defeat them…

We continue bombing Anyang.
What to do with our four corps in Yucheng?
Meanwhile, we reach Xining!
Hohhot is the last stand for the Manchukuoan nation.
And they intend to stand well.
Meanwhile, MacArthur attacks a Japanese division that is en route to Hohhot through Datong. Of course, he was actually just marching toward Datong anyways...
So momentum carries the day.
For that, he gets promoted!
But Holcomb does not, not only because his XP hasn't turned over, but also because he couldn't win at Hohhot...
Seems like the Manchukuoan nation has decided to fight well, that was surprising, but again I guess all you can do is continue attacking and increase your forces more and more and in the end you will be victorious 
I am not a nitpicker - anything but - yet I can't help but think htat the Operation title ought to be Golden Goldfish. Don;t ask me why! It just feels more appropriate!
Love the updates BTW

Though those naughty Japanese prisoners forced him out before, Yardley is not about to give up, no sir!
Meanwhile, the Tenth Land Corps arrives in-theatre.
To be delivered to Yucheng.
While Yardley arrives once more in Ningbo
Only to be driven off once more!
Those crazy Japanese with their counterattacking! When will the madness end?
It ends here! The shipment is diverted.
The valiant Tenth Land Corps lands on the shores of Ningbo!
The starved Japanese divisions in Wenzhou give battle...
And victory!

Handan is under attack again, this time with meaning!
Despite not yet being ready for a second try at Anyang, it is ordered anyways, in hope of relieving Handan.
But it doesn't work. Wow.
Well, there's no point in continuing the doomed-to-fail Anyang battle then.
But we do keep bombing them.
And we take Erenhot.
These guys can't be stragglers, their ORG is too high.
No matter, they're treated like same.
Anyang is bombed further.
And Datong is finally reached.
Bah, in the quote at the top of this update Napolean is just plaigerising Lycurgus!
One bad loss, and one expected, well I guess the only way to handle this is to pull back, build up more forces and then try again

The Japanese are attacking Xuzhou again! It's like they're really putting effort into all their counterattacks now!
And again, we try to relieve the pressure with a feint.
Meanwhile, even the corps advancing into Yantai faces resistance.
It's not much, so they win.
I wish the same could be said for Qingdao.
And especially Xuzhou.
This could not have happened at a worse possible time, for the Sixth Land Corps is mere hours from retreating into that province.
As such, all of our resources, which are actually quite considerable, are thrown into it.
Fortunately, the Japanese there must have been marching for months or something.
And a close disaster is averted.
Whew, got lucky there.
Now, I notice that most of your divisions are at half strength. Is this so you don't have to pay extra for supplies, or because you don't want to wait?

You sure was lucky there, I was getting afraid you might lose the sixth land corps there. Seems like the Japanese are really sending a lot of forces against you now and that they have started to fight back. I am starting to wonder if more forces are needed in China…
