at first i thought the war was over, since my advisor advised me that the people want to build the history of ww2 ... it's odd that it didn't unlock (along with the military academy) a few turns earlier.
a lone japanese destroyer was sunk. seems the captain thought he could ram the ship through the Foochow harbor. a few well landed bombs proved him wrong. scouts didn't see any other enemy ship in the entire yellow sea, although it's possible some are hiding in the sea of japan. that area will be scouted out in march.
bombing runs on Mukden were successfull, amazingly there was not a single enemy interceptors, nor any planes in any air strips. oh and one skilled bombardier landed a big one right on Mukdens soldier barracks, obliterating it 
following that, the 101st flying dragons landed on the mukden gold mines. Mukden is now surrounded, and is also under the aim of the artillery.
shelling will start soon
too bad general Sun's tank army is under maintenance in Peking. He should be able to resume action by april.
clearing the way for the CommonWealth:
hop on the Hillside Terminal to the north of your stack. from there take the kun-chun King express, and then connect with the Sian Line. workers are hurrying up to finish the Victory express rail, from Sian to Peking, although it probably will not be finished to speed up your stack in time. China sent you some pamphlets of the nearby highways and biways of the area, so please refer to them to find the best route

that reminds me, if the Dutch are heading towards Formosa, she's all yours.
there's no way we're landing there ever again. Jap has a super flak, and we fear it's power
(besides everyone able to fight is far far away)

march report:
scouts we're unable to find any enemy ships. if they have any naval units, they are not anywhere at sea near China
however the scouts have seen the Japan defenses for the isles of Komi and Saishu, both are defended by a flak unit. Okinawa on the other hand, scouts saw a regular infantry defending the city and another regular infantry guarding the radar on the hill of that island.
additionally, bombing of formosa took place without much result, except the destruction of the courthouse. sorry 
Commonwealth: We'll allow you to pass through the city of Kaifeng, so your stack can reach the front in one turn. Please return it back once done, as it allows china to be up there in a single turn too.
shelling of Mukden did a good job at weakening defenses, allowing a frontal tank assault as the 101st flying dragons captured the city from the rear. the city is putting up some serious civillian resistance, yet it's still another victory for the allies
and with this great success of non conventional troops, training camps are now being set up across the country to help drill marines and paratroopers, much like the one in Sian where our american delegated drill seargeant is forming up the first Chinese Marine Regiment

scouts found a jap 2x destroyer + transport idly stationed near where vladivostock should be
paratroopers ready to take pusan next month, joined with the very excited light tank army. and will be supported by bombers.
China wants to take some japanese mainland too! I'd suggest not razing any cities. it's so very tempting because riots are so very annoying. i'd like to have the war ended by xmas
first amphibious attack force is ready, and will be cast off next month
that's all for now

may 1943 was a quiet but important month for the dutch forces. 3 transport loads of units have stormed the hills north of formosa and are ready to attack in the next month! unfortunatly, no good defensive forces have been brought with so a counterattack of the japanese may weaken our strongest offensive forces - the our combat engineers (11.6.1). we would wish that the dutch infantry would have slightly better defensive values so they could take over any assault, but unfortunatly, they aren't good soldiers! 2 artillery and one flak unit are also on the island. with some luck, we should be able the to take the city in the next turn. and with the airport, we can imediately reinforce the city from other islands!
our espionage submarines have detected a nipponese infantry unit guarding a radar tower north east of okinawa. we recommend destroying that unit AND the tower for easier assault on that island. marines are in production, but it may be difficult to conquer a nipponese infantry hidden in the hills with assistance from the information of a radar tower!
dutch scientists are wondering when the long promised technology of "armoured tactics" will be invented and donated. we really feel that better tanks could speed up the warfare by a few months and lessen the tragic losses!
to our american friends: we don't mind you taking and razing tokyo. we're sure that that would completely break the morale of the japanese people and in addition, their empire on the island would be split in 2 parts.
if the roads to akita would be destroyed (maybe happened already, our maps may be old), that city would be completely cut off from all luxury resources except the furs. the poeple would be very unhappy and japan would have to concentrate on defending revolting japanese leading to starvation amongst the population! the weakest spot is just north of tokjo and may require 2 successful bombing runs to get rid of both rails and roads.
that's all for now, allies... only 4600 victory points are still needed! or 5% of the world area (we'll contribute 1-2% by liberating formosa!)

infantry might be low in stats, they still are one of the best performing and versatile units imo
