1074 A Month Goes By

Nearly a month had gone by, from the start of the war between the German and Japanese Empires, and the casualties were high on both sides. Though considerably less so for the Reich. So far, the German Empire had suffered approximately twenty-five thousand casualties, most of which were either wounded or missing in action. As for those killed in action, they were a minority of the statistic.

The Japanese, however, had suffered greatly in this time, with their casualties being nearly twice as men as the Germans, most of which were killed in action. During this time, the Germans had completely cut off their Japanese adversaries from reinforcing the Island of Borneo. Rather than rush the conflict in the region, they adopted a strategy of sitting back and bombarding the enemy forces for weeks on end.
