And here are the reinforcements available.
Not shown is the 43rd US division that is making its way along the road from Sidney. It will either defend Alice Springs or join the attack in the SW. Considering the strength of the Northern attack, it looks like it's going to Alice Springs and is indeed prepping for there

AS the air battles rage in China, the Japanese offenssive in north Oz forces the high command to change plans. Operation Resonant Church is put on hold, due to its forces being committed elsewhere. In the home front, victories are demanded, since there has been no successful counterattack since the invasion of Canton, early in the war.
In his office at Pearl, Nimitz mulls.
