Overview:

The first Chinese victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War was the Battle of Taierzhuang, which began with the Japanese assault on the city of Linyi. Prior to that attack, the ambitious and aggressive Gen. Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division had driven Gen. Pang Bingxum's 39th Division into the town and now prepared to annihilate Pang's force once and for all. Bristling for a fight and confident of victory, the 5th Division, hurtled headlong into Linyi, led by battle-hardened infantry, reinforced with armor and artillery. Though outnumbered by the defenders, Itakagi assumed Japanese technological superiority would-once again-carry the day.

2024-07-12(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Japanese winYeah...this was not a lot of fun. Dan's Japanese just walked right over my grave like Doc Holiday talking to Johnny Ringo. The Japanese tanks just walked up the middle and broke apart my defense. My poor rolls on D fire let the Japanese just walk on top of me and cut my throat in Close Combat. I hate scenarios where I have crap troops just get slaughtered and no way answer to back, My Chinese were completely beaten at the end of Turn 2. Dan is an uber aggressive attacker and Japanese are exactly the kind of troops that will roll right over you. Good luck if you're the Chinese in this one. Order your tombstone in advance.

2023-10-02(A) Dave Mareske vs Paul Works Chinese winThe elite Japanese rolled a lot of 9s, but still was able to get into the last building with the reinforcing Chinese and roll a CC. Chinese LMGs took out two of the tanks and the other one got immobilized in bypass and kept breaking its MA (3 times!, guess I rolled some 12s too!). It was a fun scenario.
