Overview:

The Japanese had been pushing hard towards Shanghai since mid-August. However, the Chinese government was determined to fight for the city and had committed its best troops, including the German-equipped 88th Division. The Japanese decided to break the stalemate by landing forces south of the city, to threaten encirclement and force the Chinese to abandon their defensive positions. landings occurred simultaneously in Liuhe, Wusong and Chuanshakou. The initial Japanese bombardment nearly annihilated the defenses that had been posted there, but the Chinese rushed reinforcements in to meet the assailants.

2023-05-28(A) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Japanese winThe Japanese easily made it to ground and forced their way on the eastern side to quickly capture two of the victory buildings. With the foothold, they made their way north and west to act as a stopgap against reinforcing Chinese, while also attacking the remaining victory buildings. A pair of sniper attacks and a stack of units that consistently rolled well weakened the Chinese defense enough to weasel my way into a victory building, and surround the rest to secure a victory.
2014-04-21(D) mark watson vs Sebastian Hummel Japanese winJapanese managed to capture and then massacre enormous number s of GMD troops -- the Chinese No Quarter rule doesn't come into effect until a month or so later. Despite some heroic MMG use by the Chinese, they were unable to come back. Interesting scenario.
