Drive on Shainghai Part 2.... Blitz Krieg Commander Rules...

Indeed, the Japanese are hard driving to Shanghai.. The Nationalist Chinese are now holding barely. In sector #3 a battalion of Nationalist are ordered to advance and take some commanding terrain around the village of Twan Son. There is an regular as well as a militia company as well. Plus very limited air support!

The Japanese have a strong company posted on the central hill with 70mm infantry guns as well as several 37mm AT guns as well. They were dug in and waiting for the Chinese to attack... They also had some very helpful air support too!

The game started with the Chinese moving on table very slowly! The command rolls were not too good for them the whole game! The Chinese were constantly being hammered by Japanese air attacks and being roughly mauled! The Chines commander could not really get any kind of attack going on though out

 the game. They did not know that they were only up against one strong Japanese company!

Even if they drove on hard they were not getting more than one or two command rolls in a row, and they Japanese air support was just devastating them all along the staging areas! The Chinese commander was only able to improve his defensive position and await the eventual massive Japanese counter assault!

 The Chinese lost 7 or eight bases plus their FAO. The Japanese lost one base...
