Germany - New Artillery and the Shanxi Campaign - 01 Aug to 20 Sep 1942

01 Aug 1942: Research on the 15 cm Kanone 18 has been completed....
....and I select Improved Anti-Air Upgrade I next.
I then place it into production.
02 Aug 1942: My Naval production. I have enough Capital Ships for the moment so I'm concentrating on Escorts and U-Boots. Ideally I should have 10 Escorts for each Capital Ship.
04 Aug 1942: I draw an operations plan for 7th Army.
10 Aug 1942: I return the 6 trained Panzer-Divisionen to 2. Panzerarmee.
23 Aug 1942: We have completed researching Advanced Rubber Processing....
....and I select Landing Craft next. We'll need that to invade Japan.
My current Research projects.
In China I lauch the attack on Shanxi with all 10 divisions of 7th Army.
26 Aug 1942: Three days later we have breached their defences and continue advancing towards Shanxi's capital.
28 Aug 1942: The capital Taiyuan has fallen and we head towards their new provisional capital Sulyuan.
04 Sep 1942: Bitter resistance but the terrain benefits the defenders most. I want to widen our breach in their defences.
05 Sep 1942: We now have a wider breach and we have completed researching Improved Anti-Tank Upgrade II.
I select Fuel Refining IV next.
My current Research.
06 Sep 1942: Now we set our eyes on Sulyuan.
11 Sep 1942: Guys, they've moved their capital city. Are they nomads?
15 Sep 1942: We continue our attack northwards.
17 Sep 1942: I draw up a new battle plan.
18 Sep 1942: First though we must penetrate the Shanxi defences. I'm glad to see that our allies are also attacking.
20 Sp 1942: That mountain ridge looks formidable.
