24 September 1943
Burma
The surviving PG I sent to the Burmese coast encountered 2 more enemy subs on the way back to Calcutta. Ran out of depth charges trying to kill the first. Apparently they're hiding all along the coastline and I'm lucky my amphibious task force hasn't had to deal with them. Going to send some better ASW ships up and down the coast to hunt these guys.
The enemy lost 3 Zeroes near Prome trying to stop B-24 raids, one to the bombers themselves, then 2 more to a sweep by P-47s.
Taung Gyi is back in our hands.
China
Lost a P-40 to a Tony while escorting bombers over Nanchang.
