Allied Efforts on Java Defense:

Allied Assault Value at java dec 8th, 1941: 412
Allied Planning Assault Value at ending Dec, 1941: 776
Allied Planning Assault Value at firts Jan, 1942: 839
Allied Planning Assault Value at ending Jan, 1942: 1.163 (282 % over initial AV)

Supplies at java, Dec 8th, 1941: 34.539
Supplies with LCU at Java, Dec 8th, 1941: 3.008

Supplies requiered for Dutch LCU dialy : 149 (with no activities)
Supply expenditure foresighted at dec 31st, 1941: 3.129 tonns of supplies.

Supplies requiered for Expeditionary Force: 160 dialy (with no combat act.)
(Exp Force = British, PA, USArmy and Australian forces detached to Java)
Supplies requiered for Air Expeditionary Force: 500 dialy (with CAP´s, naval search and ASW patrols acounted)
Supplies dialy needed at Java at Jan 31, 1942: 810 about
Supplies needed at month for Jan 31, 1942: 24.000 about

We are planning to send from India & Australia, one convoy each 15 days with 40.000 tonns of supplies for garantee the defense effort (combats, forts, naval & air activities and LCU manteinance at 100% effectiveness). We begin collecting supplies from nearest DEI islands with dutch AK´s ASAP heading to Soebaraja. USNavy will escort a big convoy from West coast as soon as possible heading to Australia. Our main LCU force will be send to Soebaraja when they will be exempt of malaria effects. Dutch force began to fortify Madicen (level 2), Soebaraja (level 4), and Malang (level 2). All our air force will be gathering at this airports and dutchs AA bn are heading to these bases.
The japanese player is too much conservative, and we think we will have enough time to gathering all our planning forces and supplies to complete our plans.

Situation map from South China Area

In the Hanoi-Haiphong area we have detected 18 units (3rd Mont.Art.Reg from SigInt), probably the 21st Division too holding on Hanoi. A strong bombardment TF attack on Pakhoi the last day with 2 BBs and 7 CAs. 2 Imperial japanese divisions attacking over HongKong, with only 7 jap. LCU´s on Canton (we think 19th Brigade, 1 engineer Reg, 1 Army HQ, 1 Army Area HQ, 1 Air HQ between them). We will try to fix jap troops at Canton with 2 Regional Army Corps and 2 CCP Guerrilla Brigades. The japanese communication lines are broken by another Guerrillas brigades, and from the North (Kunming) we´ll try to threat his left flank if he is preparing an offensive vs Nanning-Pakhoi bases. For the other hand the braves AVG´s with bombers SB-2 from Chineses will bombard any strategic objetive into their normal range (Hanoi Industry, Haiphong Port or airport). We´ll try to fix as japanese forces as possible at China Front, we have our eyes fixed on the Java defense.

Three waves of japanese bombers attacked Nanning with 202 bombers (114 Nells, 27 Sonias and 61 Sallies), getting 12 airbase hits, 13 airbase supply hits and 80 runaway hits (30 % damage on airfields service & 29 % damae on airfield runaway).
Over the Hanoi skies, the braves AVG volunteers got a amazing victory, downing 9 japanese fighter (confirmed) by only 1 Curtiss down.
Every day is more predictable the japanese threat over the south china, with a probably advance with a strong column from Hanoi and landing with a strong support at Pakhoi to advance by the highway heading on Wuhan.
For the other hand, the japanese has retired one infantry division from hong kong to Canton. It is the outcome from the chinese movement over this city.
