RE: RHS Test 9A: 3 Feb 42: 2nd Battle of the Java Sea Continues!

Post by el cid again »

Never mind the disasters of the previous two days, the Japanese
decided that most of the surviving troops (of the very best division
in the IJA - the 5th Semi-Motorized Class A Division) would be lost
if a long transit back to Singapore (or even to NW Borneo) was attempted
in ships on fire and flooding out. So they elected to land, not where
their plans called for, but instead at the nearest point of land, Kilatjati.
Ironically that is the historical IJA landing site. Opposed by submarines,
air strikes and a small mainly Dutch cruiser destroyer flotilla (which
failed to make contact), it was another rough day. Nevertheless, land
and sea based air power made the difference, and some of the division
got ashore - enough to matter.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 3 Feb 42: 2nd Battle of the Java Sea Sea Day Four!

Post by el cid again »

The last three undamaged warships of the ABDA fleet run in on the
Japanese landing force at Kilitjati. The Japanese covering fleet
withdrew two days ago and the surviving transports with minimal
escorts finally managed to come ashore - at the closest landfall
instead of their planned objective hex - yesterday. Meanwhile,
the troops that landed on Northern New Caledonia capture its
Northernmost town.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 7 Feb 42: Landings on Fiji!

Post by el cid again »

Actually, landings at Port Blair, at Efate, at Myitkynia, on Java AND at Nandi, Fiji.
Bandoeng (capital of NEI) fell today to the (somewhat damaged) 5th Division.
The enemy landings on Java came on very fast - and went right around the Allied
submarine patrol line apparently. Subs insist they are being engaged by Kates,
but the Allies see no carriers nor air bases in range. Similarly, in the Coral
Sea - of NE Australia - subs report enemy carrier ASW patrols - but no ships at
all have been sighted.

Post by el cid again »

If you like early 1942 Allied tactical victories, this is the turn
for you. Never mind that there is no air support at Batavia, the KNIL
moved its entire force there to attack from, supported by the US Carriers
under Halsey two hexes to the South. Most air strikes were cohesive
and combat effective.

Not realizing they did not yet control the river hex side,
for the second day in a row units crossing at Tungkwang were forced

were unfit to attack having been badly disrupted the day before.
