Germany - Finally Progress in Shanxi - 07 Oct to 12 Nov 1942

07 Oct 1942: Occupied Belgium will soon be 'green Zero'.
It will take longer in Leningrad and Luga.
I'm improving Railways to reduce the Supply problem there.
In Shanxi I now have 8 divisions attacking. The two with yellow arrows are not.
10 Oct 1942: We are at two days again.
14 Oct 1942: We have penetrated the enemy's defences. We need to follow up to maintain momentum.
18 Oct 1942: We are still advancing and only 1 Japanese division is defending.
19 Oct 1942: This one division will soon break-
20 Oct 1942: The pressure is increasing and the research on the Messerschmitt Bf 110 has been completed.
I select the Me 410 Hornisse next.
I add Force Attack to add more pressure.
Supposedly it will take less than one day. Seeing is believing.
23 Oct 1942: Great. Shanxi has capitulated.
Research has been completed on Improved Anti-Air Upgrade I.
29 Oct 1942: They must be nomads because their capital has moved again.
30 Oct 1942: It has returned! What is going on?
01 Nov 1942: Now we are occupying the state - capital or no capital.
04 Nov 1942: I select to research Improved Anti-Air Upgrade II next.
09 Nov 1942: Not good. My 7th Army commander has fallen ill - 7th Army is also worn out so it might be a good time for some R&R.
12 Nov 1942: I've decided to cease operations here. There are enough allied troops to hold the line.
Shanxi has finally been defeated so what's next? More in the next post.
