-Good news: Mandalay is defended again. The veterans of 29th Sentai achieved their 99th victory, destroying 8 Hurricanes and 1 B-25 with the loss of only one Tojo
-Bad news: The AVG decimated our bombers over Changsha. Eleven Ki-21 and 2 Oscars lost. No P-40 was shot down. The JAAF is speeding up upgrading of K-21´s to KI-49´s.

-The attempt to reoccupy Mandalay ended in a total disaster, as the 29th was decimated. Twenty two Tojos destroyed (2 in the ground). Only two enemy planes shot down in A2A combat. The Tojo is a good plane but it usually takes damage in combat, and damaged planes are destroyed in the next attack. If Mandalay is to be reoccupied, it will need at least 3 Ftr Sentais to inflicet significant damage in the enemy. The loss of five aircrews from the 29th Sentai was also a heavy blow.

Indeed a good day for the Allies as 20 unservicable Tojo's were reputed destroyed/written off on the ground due to the successful strikes conducted. In the air, the harried Hurricane pilots are starting to achieve near parity in losses against the harrased and tired Tojo pilots. Air supremency is (for the time being) reestablished over Central Burma.

In China.....a message was received from General Stillwell:

"Dear Peanut....;"

What the god *(&*(!@)@# do you THINK YOUR DOING @ CANTON. You DUMB *&^&*(! are you trying to bleed the Chinese Army white? What kind of )(&U*(*&)! Advisors are you LISTENING too these days you <BLEEP>? Don't make me come up there and I(*&*(!@ your god-(&*(&9 )(&$$$$$$$!

Sincerely....

Stillwell.

-An emergency meeting will take place tomorrow in the Emperor´s palace in Tokyo, as a worrying string of bad news seems to be pointing to the sad true. Japan already lost the initiative in Asia and is being forced on defensive, and even worse, withouth much success. Today, a convouy bring reinforcements to New Guinea was heavily hit by enemy LBA. Two Destroyers were lost. Yamamoto was furious with the use of destroyers to escort slow convoys. He noticed that the Navy already lost 7 DD´s in the last 7 months and noticed that current rates will result in serious disruption of the Navy´s operational capabilities. Mandalay was evacuated again, while two more Tojos were destroyed in the ground. The 29th Sentai lost another pilot and the Army is worried about the speed they are losing fighter crews. To make things even worse, Chinese bombers again dared to attack Japanese shipping in Taan.

-Air attacks on Wuchow and Nanning resulted in 4 I-16 destroyed in A2A combat (vs. 3 Oscars, Ki-44 didn´t suffered losses but also failed to destroy even one enemy plane) plus 12 planes destroyed in the ground (some payback for the 29th Sentai). Unfortunately, 2 Ki-49´s and 2 Ki-21´s also were lost in the attacks. Btw, one more Tojo destroyed in the ground in Mandalay, as the 29th attempts evacuation...the unfortunate convoy to Siador was able to run away withouth additional losses.....details of the meeting with the Emperor to be posted latter

-Japanese flying boats flying from Burma failed to detect the approach of a slow BB TF, which was able to sink one DD, 2 AK´s and 2 MSW´s. The light surface forces defending the harbour couldn´t do too much, but the destroyers placed one Long Lance in the Ramillies. In air operations, there were about ten losses for each side. B-17´s shot down two Zeroes over Rabaul (one crew lost) losing one of theirs (four new hosts to our resort)

-Worrying news, more two Zeroes and his crews were lost to unescorted B-17´s over Rabaul. The skill of enemy crews improved a lot and the plane is really hard to be brought down. In Rabaul, the local commander asked for a Tojo Sentai, as a provisional step while the new navy bomber buster, the J2M, is being developed.

Operation Dracula, a UK surface raid on the primary Japanese base of Rangoon can be considered a partial success having accounted for several Japanese warships and merchants at the cost of one torpedo hit on the old battleship Ramillies. However the planned bombardment of the chocked airfields was aborted by the surface force's commander. Still, SEAC HQ was happy with the results. Commonwealth airforces continue to plaster Mandalay, though the daily cost in write offs and operational accidents continues to be heavy.

In the Coral Sea, Allied air dominance continues to grow with the new B-24D Liberators debuting over New Gineau. A spotted Iboat sitting along Allied communication lines was systematically dispatched by an ASW force. Xmas in Rabaul party plans continue to progress. [:D]

-Mandalay was reoccupied after the Japanese HQ in Burma noticed a clear decline in the intensity of enemy attacks, resulting in the airfield being fully repaired. The Ki-43 II make its first appearance, along with F1/Tainan Daitai. As a result, the enemy lost 11 planes (10 Hurricanes and 1 B-25) for 1 Zero and one Oscar lost in A2A combat. Over Siador, the situation is going from bad to worse, as the A6M2 of Zuikaku are having troubles in dealing with large unescorted B-17 formations. Four fighters were lost (only two crews) while the enemy lost one B-17 (non combat). Meanwhile, a solitary AK was attacked by Vals near Truk (???????).
-Photos from units in Buna show a strange two tailed, two engined plane, similar to the F-5 recon plane, however, there were a big formation of 30 such planes., suggesting that it was probably a fighter version of the plane (they weren´t carrying bombs)

Good news; one P-38 was shot down near Buna. The wreck was located and will be sent to Tokyo to be studied.

Operation "left hook" appears so far to have been a success putting the Japanese redoubt at Mandalay in a more perilous situation with Pagen now invested by Commonwealth forces of the British 14th Army. While air resistance over Mandalay has resurfaced with a combination of Zeros and what appears to be an upgraded model of the ever nimble Army type 0, B-25's continue to pound the airfields around the Burmese city though damage has left a steady trail of written off and crashed Mitchells. Heavy flak defenses though are impeeding the complete shutdown of the airfields resulting in a continuing war of attrition both in the air and on the ground. 225 Group continues to urgently request updated fighter assets from Fighter command as the aging Hurricane simply is no match for either Navy or Army type 0 aircraft despite valient efforts by the Hurricane pilots. Spitfires are at the top of the request list. Only the extreme toughness of the Allied bombers and their resistance to even the heavy armament of the "Tojo" airframe, prevents air operations from being too costly.

Routine air operations continue over New Guneau, a newly established Japanese airbase 120 miles NE of Lae being subjected to steady bombardment from heavy bomber groups based in Northern Austrailia. Buna continues to be pounded by Port Morosby's airforce.

Little other activity detected by the Japanese who's continued passiveness warrents automatic caution.
