Once that's done, you can turn your attention to the rest of the China sub-factions one by one. Sure you won't get full control of Chinese lands, but China is in a really rotten state industry wise anyway, so you wouldn't gain much from fighting a war that can easily last into the 1940s.
Why are you out of supply? Because your infrastructure from your nearest ports (In korea most likely) can't get enough supplies through each province. Check the supply mapmode and find out where the bottleneck is and upgrade infrastructure a bit.
If you ARE going to invade china, set up a defensive front line along the northern border (including in your puppet state Meng..ko..kugu? I forgot their name, and then plan a naval invasion behind the enemy front lines. Then you can easily surround them, and potentially completely starve them out and stackwipe them (If an army has nowhere to retreat to when they lose a battle, they straight up surrender and vanish)
This guy is doing a great job of attacking china, netherlands and siam in 1937.
He is doing it slowly and manually.
He defeated most of china's army within 10 days leaving them with just 8 remaining divisions.
In episode 15 it's still 1937 and china have pretty much been defeated. It's just cleanup for him now.
And i have learned alot atleast by watching this series. Such as details about division composition, combat width and naval invasion.
China have civilian and military factories that you will get if you annex them.
So if you can do what he do i would say you should definately annex china.
You should watch this entire playthrough if this is your first hoi game like it is for me. Very informative stuff.
You need to do one or all of these three things:
1. You need to take a bigger port (ie 24 divisions need a level 6 port to receive enough supplies.)
2. Invade with fewer units (ie dont just dump a bunch of stacks once you take it.)
3. Invade an area with better infrastructure.
Pretty much have to guess because you have no screenshot of your game. Those three things should clear it up.
Your supply map should have given you a reason why those units were low on supply and told you what the chokepoint is.
To each their own - I never felt like I needed any of the Chinese lands, once I had filled up my mainland, Korea and the Dutch colonies. By that point I was already knocking on the Soviet back door, asking to be let in at gunpoint. And with no resistance locally, or having lost a single division due to Dutch colonies being pushovers, I was in a prime position to blitz them.
This is the beauty of a game like this - It gives you multiple paths. You can focus on China - Or you can peacefully puppet it and kickstart other plans before the world war breaks out.
His mistake is NOT a focus problem. His mistake is a basic game mechanic problem.
At declaration, I held the northern line, sent in the marines, then the morotorized, and started streaking across to capture key locations and river crossings. China had to pull back troops from the front line, my regulars could advance, and I then call in the garrison forces to hold the gained territory.
The war was over and I had control of all of China and it's allies by '38, and I could do it faster a second time.
