I am totally disappointed to learn that your relations with USA will be affected by your spy.

The US is starting to protect its transports this could get interesting.
How far away are you form updating your CAS? and your INF?
The 1000 oil from mongolia is always helpfull i suppose...

Wait... Mongolia... blue colour... *thinking* Does Menkugo (or whatever it is spelled) have cores on Mongolia and got it?!?!?
19 hours... nice timing

Which is good, since it prevents annoying partisans.
It seems as if the Western China front will simply be CASed to death.
I'm more worried about Manchuria...you need a special candidate to help you out!

Glad to see you have captured Mongolia, the added IC for Mengkukuo will shurely help them participate in this war, if the factories can be held. (Yes, Mengkukuo has cores on China, Mongolia, Tannu Tuva, Soviet Union and Manchukuo.)
I'm sad to see your excellent relations with the USA have been damaged due to this incident of spying.
Anyways, things look okay for the time being, Manchukuo might not be able to with stand the blast though.

you put a lot of trust in the airforce, but when you (eventually) begin advancing against the soviets, i fear you will be plagued by a serious lack of bases...

IMO event now on the defense some extra bases would help (in Manchuria around Harbin and on far west, when Urumchi (sp?) will fall.
Anyway - Good Work with Mongolia, let us hope that you can envelop those 100+ Russian divisions in Manchuria somehow and destroy them
))
Now THAT would be Remble-worthy...nay!
KAMI-Worthy!
DO IT REMBLE!
Encircle Manchuria!

So Mongolia is finally gone. And they even left you a sizable sum of money. Heck, I never knew you could make so much you from herding sheep.
Also, I feel flatterd that the monthly meeting has been postponed because of Operation Mystery. Or maybe I shouldn't feel flattered for braking an age-old tradition and leaving Japan's minsters disinformed for another month ... but I still do.
What has happened to the Soviet division attacking Khobodo?Have they been bombed before or is attrition taking it's ugly toll?

Fgorginator - I don't think that either Higashikuni or Terauchi would fear Genghis Khan right now
Ruodnane - Attack can be the best form of defence on occasion. Manchuria must hold, they are providing me with a lot of troops I really would like to keep getting. Tibet might be useful and I do think I will be forced back in Sinkiang eventually and also in Manchuria to some extent.
alan_le_cowboy -
Middelkerke - Protection is a fairly loose term with only one Light Cruiser doing the work. That one Light Cruiser is a little tough though. CAS research should complete in early July and then another month to actually upgrade probably. Not even researching Inf 45 yet as Manchukuo is doing it for me The oil was a nice bonus.
Thurak, Manziel, Onlyhestands - I didn't think I would be able to remove Mongolia but it worked out rather well. Mengkukuo got all of Mongolia which saves my TC a little and gives them needed IC.
ColossusCrusher - Sinkiang is in more trouble than it looks to be. The Soviets are adding more troops here slowly but faster than I can kill them. Manchuria is of course in a lot more trouble
Maj. von Mauser - The damage has not even begun to really pile up yet. Once I lose Urumqi, and I will lose it sooner or later, the 8 CAS will go to Manchuria which will leave me with 16 CAS and whatever TAC is also there. That force can kill a lot of troops fairly quickly in a narrow area. It is possible that the Soviets won't have their act together until 1947 after a winter of reorganising themselves.
THE_SMASHER - I have no idea what I might try next
robou - Why would I need airbases if I am advancing? In order to advance the Red Army would be almost totally destroyed which means I won't have much to actually fight.
zdlugasz - Thank you. I won't build bases right now purely because I will lose territory and I am not going to give the enemy brand new airbases. There are a lot of bases in central China and north east China so defensively I have no real worries. A lot of the air zones are also very large which gives my aircraft a much longer reach than they shold have.
ColossusCrusher - Kami might try it but I won't, well not for a while anyway. I have to suck the enemy forces in before I deal with them. Right now they are a little too busy dieing to be sucked in anywhere.
Sokraates - Extra money is always nice to a cash strapped Government. The delay in reports might require you to sharpen your sword you know The damaged troops are ones that got bombed in Altay as they retreated from there and then moved to Khobdo. Its the normal AI can't repair them fast enough thing.
BobaFett696 - Thank you. Manpower is decreasing but is not critical just yet. Although most people might say under 50 is critical

1300 June 8th 1946.
North China Army Headquarters. Lanzhou, China.
The bombing of the enemy forces in Aksu would be delayed for a short time as a better target of opportunity arrived for the Dive bombers to pursue.
A Headquarters division had advanced into Gulja where it would be destroyed over the next couple of days. The current enemy forces on Chinese soil were minor but this was but a short respite before larger forces would arrive.
In the early hours of June 9th two armoured divisions that had entered Khobdo were forced to retreat by a combined attack from Urumqi and Yusun Bulag. No pursuit would be ordered.
0100 June 9th 1946.
Kwantung Army Headquarters. Harbin, Manchukuo.
Japanese Tactical bombers had been given a few days to weaken the enemy army in Jilin and two of the seven divisions had been destroyed. Terauchi gave the orders for an assault to remove the remaining troops before they could reach Xinjing province.
General Kawabe would lead the attack from Liaoyuan with small flanking attacks supporting his advance. One division from Harbin and one from Chongyin were used to envelope the enemy force and not substantially weaken either provinces defense. The battle would not be over quickly despite the air support and Kawabe's force would not be in good enough condition to advance into Jilin. The Soviet army would lose another fight and more troops would be retreating as a result.
Two new Manchurian divisions were unfortunate enough to time their arrival badly and instantlly retreated from Xinjing.

1500 June 9th 1946.
BB Division 1 Flagship. IJN Yamashiro, In Transit.
The escorted American Transport fleet had returned to the Central Marshalls where CA Division 1 engaged it once more.
Both fleets were taking damage and nothing would be sunk. Both Japanese Destroyer Flotillas headed for Kwajalein to undergo repairs while the remainder of the fleet waited for the Americans to return.
0500 June 10th 1946.
North China Army Headquarters. Lanzhou, China.
Higashikuni had ordered a large part of his forces in Mongolia to advance back into Ulan Bator to try and secure the province. Soviet forces were also making for the former capital of Mongolia.
The Soviet defenders were operating in a province which had changed hands several times and had very bad infrastructure as a result. The fact that were also outnumbered four to one played a big part in their defeat.
An air battle occured over Jilin at 0300 hours on June 11th. A Polish Interceptor wing caught the massed ranks of the Japanese Tactical bomber force as they continued to bomb the retreating soviet forces in the province. The damage to the bombers could have been severe if it wasn't for the presence of Tanaka and his Interceptor wing accompanying the bombers. Both sides would take damage but nothing major for the Japanese bombers.
0000 June 12th 1946.
BB Division 1 Flagship. IJN Yamashiro, In Transit.
After what had seemed almost an eternity some upgrades were finally completed to the Imperial Japanese Navy.
All eight Japanese Carriers were now armed with more modern air wings which would increase their potency should they encounter enemy forces.
The American Transport fleet with its Light Cruiser escort returned to the Central Marshalls again at 0300 hours on June 12th. This time only four Japanese ships would be waiting but they managed to sink the by now badly damaged enemy fleet. Only the Transport fleet could be claimed by a Japanese vessel and the Heavy Cruiser IJN Suzuya would fire the fatal shot.
1600 June 13th 1946.
Kwantung Army Headquarters. Harbin, Manchukuo.
Terauchi had been catching up on some sleep during the night when he was awoken by the sound of heavy shells exploding throughout the region. He knew by the sound that they were Soviet shells and was already fully awake and heading for his command post when his adjutant came to wake him.
Field Marshall Meretskov had brought more troops with him this time. Attacking at night with heavy rain falling was not a particularly bright move on the Soviet commanders part. The attack faltered and died shortly after dawn as Soviet casualties mounted. Teruachi's troops suffered some casualties as well but nowhere near as many as the attacking force.

North China Army Headquarters. Lanzhou, China.
BB Division 1 Flagship. IJN Yamashiro, In Transit.
An American Submarine Division had been spotted off the Japanese coast in Tokyo Bay.
The Siamese bombers would try and damage the Submarines while Triye moved his Destroyers south to intercept the enemy fleet.
He would catch and sink the Submarines on June 17th. 24 Kuchikukantai would add another Submarine victim to its growing list.
A small Brazilian fleet was spotted to the north east of Kwajalein by Mj. General Kusaka shortly afterwards. The presence of a Battleship was some cause for concern for the Japanese CA Divisions but this fleet seemed to be heading towards Hawaii.
0200 June 16th 1946.
Kwantung Army Headquarters. Harbin, China.
More Soviet forces had advanced in parts of Manchuria and Terauchi gave the orders to have them removed to two of his Field commanders.
Neither enemy force in Chita or Qiqhir put up much of a fight as they were severly outnumbered. So far these advances had only used small forces. Again no Japanese troops would advance.
0200 June 16th 1946.
North China Army Headquarters. Lanzhou, China.
Terauchi was not the only commander using these counter attacks to try and halt an enemy build up. Higashikuni was also an expert in such tactics and had been using them for weeks already.
The latest three Soviet divisions to enter Khobdo were sent back towards Soviet territory by what was becoming a fairly standard attack commanded by General Yamada.
Another enemy force had entered Altay province but the Dive bombers were busy elsehwere and no reconnaisance would occur for a few days.
The Japanese Dive bombers operating from Urumqi had switched targets back to Aksu province but the enemy troops had already dug in sufficiently to limit any direct damage the bombers could do to them. The bombers switched to interdiction attacks instead to disrupt the defenders organisation.

General Ueda timed his attack on the province so that the defences would be at their weakest. The despondant Soviet troops took little pursuation to begin running north. None of them would leave Aksu province alive.
Another enemy force had entered Ulan Bator and was forced to leave by the advancing Japanese forces. Higashikuni halted the advance after this battle as his troops were beginning to tire too much. There was little point in capturing Ulan Bator with a force that would not be able to defend it.
At 2200 hours on June 18th another counter attack was required against Khobdo. General Yamashita would command the Japanese forces on this occasion. Some of the enemy divisions were showing signs of damage from previous encounters with Japanese forces. The damage was mostly caused by Dive bombers as these troops enetered and were forced to leave Altay province. Rather than returning to Altay they had instead moved towards Khbodo. These four Soviet divisions would be heading back into the Soviet Union after a few hours of battle.
I seem to have almost run out of operation names so a quick little contest to see who gets to name a few more operations.
There is a thread page index on the first page post #2 now to help navigation which may come in handy.
Questions ...
1. Who was the Commander of the multitude of defences of Guam?
2. What is the Soviet Ambassadors name?
3. Having read through most of this AAR again myself I noticed a small discrepancy. Who is supposed to be in command of the Kwantung Army and seems to have lost the job to Terauchi?
4. Which ship sank HMS Rodney?
Previous winners are allowed to participate unless their prevous Operation was a failure.

Bah he got us. All the little little things that we don't notice. :rofl: But what about Operation Remble
To lazy to look up the answers...
About the protection of the transports: The light Cruisers are a start...
Damn some nice fighting in mongolia... Do you have enough divisions to occupy Khobdo?
