[AAR] À la guerre comme à la guerre - Linus (J) vs ste_peterpan (A)

Se Ste non molla dopo questo ennesimo colpo, respect!
Per Karachi, se ne hai a sufficienza, per me vale già la pena iniziare a brasare tutto con l'aviazione, in un porto distrutto 99/99 scaricare una divisione ci vuole una settimana, vedi che gli passa la voglia di mandare rinforzi...

 

Esattamente quello che ho in mente.. radere al suolo tutto.

Il grosso problema è sviluppare gli AF e portare aerei e air support dal centro della Cina al fronte indiano.


Prima crivello il resto dell'India

74,000 cinesi e 5,857 squadre lasciano questa valle di lacrime. Molto bene.

Direi che la campagna di Novembre è stata un successo anche se manca l'ultimo degli assembramenti nemici. Ad ogni modo sono già circa 50 le LCU cinesi distrutte e si tratta della parte migliore dell'esercito del cinese. Molto, molto bene.

Non sono assediate le truppe di Alleato, ciò significa che eventualmente si ritireranno da qualche parte una volta che prendo Madras. Il punto è che spero di riuscire a finire i poveretti nelle pianure a SUD-OVEST di Madras, terreno perfetto per tank e bombardamenti aerei intensi. Caso vuole (...) che io abbia giusto giusto le due divisioni tank a SUD-OVEST di Madras impegnate a catturare basi di Alleato nell'area.

99th Chinese Corps [DISTRUTTA]

Dunque. In un mese e mezzo si conclude l'offfensiva di Novembre. Ho distrutto circa 60 LCU cinesi facendo oltre 200,000 casualties.
Praticamente l'esercito del cinese è stato spazzato via in una serie di battaglie che, pur costose, mi hanno spalancato la via alla piana di Chungking.
Il mio esercito in Cina è messo veramente male in compenso, necessito di riposo e rimpiazzi.

Giovedì 13 Dicembre 1942 - TURNO 372 - TOKIO ORE 11:10


1) Teatro Perimetro Interno

Nulla di nuovo.
Un SS spotta una CV nelle Aleutine. Che sia vero?
Credo di sì e non ho idea di cosa voglia fare Alleato. Io posso mettere insieme un ottimo strike casomai venisse avanti sull'Hokkaido. Se invece fa una puntata sulle sole Kurili, pace, non intervengo. L'idea è di proteggere le industrie e i convogli in Hokkaido, visto che le infrastrutture nelle Kurili posso ripararle in facilità.
Ho circa un 3-400 a/c da lanciare addosso alle CV di Alleato dalle basi a terra nell'area. Si parla di Val, Kate, Betty scortati da infiniti Oscar e Zero. La cosa divertente è che ho pure AF decenti in Hokkaido a questo giro quindi ci sta che Alleato non mi colga con le braghe calate come a tipo Maggio quando fece il raid famoso con CV e BB.
Dubito fortemente si faccia avanti comunque. Sa che le mie CV non sono presenti ma non ha assolutamente idea né di dove sia la 2a Kido Butai (che ha partecipato agli scontri nelle Gilbert meridionali ma non è stata spottata) né tantomeno ha idea di cosa possa trovarsi davanti nelle Kurili, quindi non ha molto senso per lui rischiare di perdere le CV adesso che è in un momento miserabile in India e Cina.

Se però si fa avanti con un'offensiva corredata da sbarco anfibio da qualche parte le cose cambiano: un paio di divisioni di marines che sbarcano a Guadalcanal mi creerebbero qualche problemino, sopratutto in termini di superiorità aeronavale (non la potrei mantenere a lungo senza avere perdite considerevoli se Alleato decide di immolare qualunque cosa per catturare un posto).


2) Teatro Pacifico Sud-Occidentale

Molto soddisfatto di come procede il trasporto di materiali nelle Gilbert meridionali. Ogni giorno truppe fresche arrivano a presidiare il nuovo confine imperiale.

Le due Kido Butai lasciano Truk dopo aver fatto refuel e si dirigono verso Onshu per riparazioni varie. E anche per parare un'eventuale incursione di Alleato nell'area delle Kurili dopo la batosta alle sue CVE nelle Gilbert meridionali.


3) Teatro DEI

Nulla di nuovo. A dio piacendo sto svuotando delle risorse Port Hedland. Ho catturato la base trovandoci tipo 350k resources e piano piano le sto mandando a Soerabaja con un 4-5 convogli da 40k capacity ciascuno.

La 3a Kido Butai con le sue miserrime CVE è ancora ferma in mezzo al nulla fra il bordo mappa e Perth. Nessun convoglio di Alleato spottato finora. Continuo l'attesa dato che tentar non nuoce.


4) Teatro Indo-Birmano

Si apre con i miei caccia che intercettano diversi raid aerei alleati. Poi uno scontro sui cieli di Bombay dove riesco a danneggiare o abbattere 11 B-24D su 12:

5) Teatro Cina

Giornata di scontri aerei che mi vedono perdere 3 Oscar in air to air a fronte di circa 20 fighter cinesi. Poi bombardo l'AF di Chungking con centinaia di bombardieri e lo riduco in poltiglia. L'aviazione cinese non esiste più.

Il cinese dal canto suo prova ad attaccarmi a NORD credendo io sia sguarnito. In effetti lo sono ma non abbastanza da permettergli uno sfondamento:

Non posso ovviamente passare al contrattacco visto che le mie truppe sono poche e di modesta qualità. In compenso il cinese ha perso l'ennesima battaglia.

Credo che da Chungking molte truppe stiano andando nell'hex di pianura a OVEST della città, hex presso il quale attraverserò il fiume con le mie truppe.
E' una località ottimale per una battaglia campale: infatti, è in range dei miei LB a Changsha, Kweyiang e Tuyun. Conto ovviamente di piallare i difensori con bombardamenti a tappeto per poi finirli con lo shock attack dell'attraversamento del fiume. Non sarà una faccenda pulita visto che le mie truppe sono molto, molto provate dagli scontri precedenti.

La situazione in Cina è abbastanza simpatica:


A Chungking il cinese ha circa 200,000 uomini e 60 LCU, esattamente quante ne ho distrutte negli scontri dell'offensiva di Novembre. Molte di quelle LCU credo siano unità di supporto varie (ENG, ART, etcetc) e parte delle LCU distrutte durante l'offensiva di Novembre. Non credo ci siano molte truppe decenti.

Pare non stia inviando rinforzi dall'area di montagna a EST della piana di Chungking. Pur vero che non arriverebbero mai in tempo per poter essere di qualche utilità negli scontri intorno alla città: al massimo potrebbero arrivare in tempo per difendere la città stessa, ma non so quanto abbia senso per il cinese mandare truppe a quel punto.

Prima o poi farò una lista delle truppe perse dal cinese durante l'offensiva di Novembre. C'è da ridere.

Direi che le truppe in ritirata da Madras non rappresentano un problema. Salto loro addosso con 4 divisioni appena possibile. Un'ulteriore divisione invece va via ferrovia ad Hyderabad per riprendersi. Dei Thai stanno andando via ferrovia da Hyderabad a Madras per diventarne la gloriosa guarnigione.

Si, credo che sia un errore notevole. È anche vero che non fa tutta sta differenza perdere tutto lì o in altre parti. Credo che la sua idea sia di dare un colpo notevole alle mie forze anche a costo di rimetterci una valanga di truppe così che io sia poi troppo indebolito per assaltare Chongqing mentre invece lui inizia ad avere truppe che rinascono magicamente.

Il mio esercito è assolutamente malridotto ora come ora: c'e una divisione con 18AV, non dico altro.....

Attraverso il fiume accanto a Chungking e avviene uno scontro di proporzioni bibliche dove ho la peggio. Purtroppo il tempo è orrendo e le centinaia di bombardieri destinati ad ammorbidire i cinesi non si alzano in volo.

In compenso riesco a guadagnare una testa di ponte al di là del fiume. Rinforzi stanno arrivando anche se occorrerà un bel po' prima che siano in loco.
