RHS Test 10A: 19 Apr 42: Air Battle Over Kotabumi!

el cid again · Post by **el cid again** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 1:31 pm

Major fighting in China, minor actions elsewhere; fairly even and semi-intense
air battles. Massive air strikes against the airfield complex South of Palembang
mainly failed to fly or got lost - only two B-17 squadrons flew partially. Area
CAP out of Sian got caught up in a nearby air superiority battle - quite against
the intention of the Allied Chinese commander. Japanese carriers were spotted
(but do not show in the situation after combat report) headed ENE from Sydney
to Noumea (approximately). Another Japanese TF was spotted in the Malacca
Strait - but also does not appear in the situation after combat report. This is assumed to be reinforcements for Medan - enemy armor there is pinned by the need for a garrison until relieved - and it cannot clear the rest of North Sumatra until troops arrive - or both victory points will be lost and infrastructure will be damaged in partisan attacks. However, it is possible there is a covering force - we have no track on the Ni Kiddo Butai (the historical name for the "second" carrier force - originally of light carriers but here including Hiryu and Soryu - at least until one of them took bombs at Singapore - so possibly only one is with the force at the moment).

Some of the ships damaged by IJN carriers yesterday sank today - including HMS Hermes and two troopships and a DMS in the South Seas - all apparently burning out. The other DMS in the South tried a lone run for Sydney but ran into Mutsu - which was of course the end of that. The Southern Force (Allied cruisers and destroyers in the South) made a run to Port Kembla (South of Sydney) and preserved itself. The rest of the convoy with half the 40th US Division and half of an artillery regiment split up and proceeded separately to Lord Howe Island - most made it - one remains one hex out - and most will depart most of their troops during the night tomorrow. The RN cruisers and undamaged destroyers in the Indian Ocean - and all transport forces - managed to escape. One badly damaged destroyer remains in the area but apparently was not detected by the enemy carrier forces - which went East - into the area near the Andaman Islands. It is possible one of the enemy forces in the area has been lost - but two appear to have joined up Southwest of Port Blair - and they have systematically searched all the islands in the area. Three Allied surface task groups attempted a raid on Palembang - only one went in - but its results were fairly spectacular - sinking a tanker group and sinking most of a transport group - the survivors of which likely also will sink. China was fairly quiet - but Wenchow lost another fortification level (at excessive casualty cost to the Japanese).

These files require use of the latest update's filmstrips and data files to work properly. In that case, they should show the "final" aircraft data values if one looks up planes using the in game plane index. Also the "final" aircraft art now in use. Mifune has a medium term project going to clean up this art in technical ways - but that won't actually change the art - just present it more clearly.

The second half of US 40th Division, and half of an attached artillery unit,
managed to evade the enemy near Lord Howe Island - although one of their
escorts - an APD that dropped its troops on the island yesterday - wasn't so
lucky - the expended ops points meant she was caught before she could leave
the hex. None of the mines dropped by two other escorts two days ago found a target. Similarly, the RN Albatross - a seaplane carrier (originally build for RAN -
similarly evaded the enemy. Both ship and air bombardment of her former station failed to catch her - as did possibly major forces at sea (she is shown "running from enemy surface force" which, however, we do not track (see file 008). A major landing occurred in SW Celebes - and minor attacks by an SNLF and by an airborne fragment occurred at two other points farther North on the Island. The landing yesterday on Timor resulted in capture of its Easternmost airfield today.

The Allied carrier force left Semerang at full speed, and raided Singapore - a truly target rich environment. Coming in close - so even short range British aircraft could not only hit the target, but fly combat air patrol over it - they probably hit every carrier in port - Hiryu, Soryu, 2 CVEs and several CVLs - along with many other ships. At the same time, they hit the airfield there and at Palembang. Although the only long range Allied fighters in theater flew escort and CAP over Palembang, neither it nor Singapore had any fighter opposition whatever! [Possibly there was some at night, but these were daylight strikes]

Only the replay is attached. Some cannot get a combined mailing - so the 003 and 008 files will follow (immediately).

The Allied carrier force retired East from Singapore, hitting Kuching airfield.
The Allied battle force tried to bombard Pontianak, but dallied too long refueling,
and never got there! Both forces were engaged by enemy air strikes, as was
the surface force at Palembang - which retired on Batavia after bombardment.
Never mind, the enemy bombers went right into Batavia harbor to get them! Allied
fighter cover was generally unusually effective - where it existed. Carrier fighters
scored 2:2 vs Zeros and 4.5:1 overall in their best action, while the AVG got an infinite exchange ratio - the one time it flew. The time it didn't fly at Batavia, and the poor battle force which had no fighters at all, were different stories! Enemy amphibs also landed at Roti Island - near Kuching, Timor - and far up the Yellow River - a surprise
move by mere junks.

Except in China, it is recovery and movement to contact. Only three
(of a score) of Allied bomber squadrons flew offensive missions from Java today -
the rest are recovering. Same for the Allied carrier force - rounding the Eastern
tip of Borneo.

Only the replay is attached. Some cannot get a combined mailing - so the 003 and 008 files will follow (immediately).

In spite of numbers of air strikes by both sides, there were almost no aircraft
casualties today. Each side has generally ceased to contest enemy offensives:
the Allies withdrew air and naval units from Fiji, where the Japanese landing force finally defeated the New Zealand 8th Brigade (after two failed attempts). For their part, the Japanese continue not to contest the Allied air offensive in South Sumatra,
which hit hard at the major air bases but suffered almost no casualties. The reverse happened in China, where the Japanese air strikes again went uncontested. The Allied carrier force did strike Tarakan - with modest results - only partly damaging the facilities. But Japan isn't contesting it since its air strikes against it were badly mauled two days ago.

Japanese forces cut the road/rail land line of communications to Sian - a surprise
because Allied air recon had not indicated troops were crossing the river. A small IJN destroyer division won not one but two battles at Sabang - decisively sinking entire task groups - in spite of the presence of a heavy Allied task force (which failed to engage or even be spotted during the night). Allied submarines were remarkably successful re large enemy AKs. And the JAAF virtually wiped the Allied airfield at Liu Chow off the map - because yesterday recon spotted a fighter group there. The Allies were trying for yet another air victory over Nanning - but unlike the previous four such battles - this time the Japanese didn't do what was expected - support the army which just crossed the river in a ground assault on Nanning. The transfer of planes from Suva meant the Allies lost "picture" in the South Seas - so the whereabouts of the Kiddo Butai is now unknown (again).

Reminder: the date means this test is using the Spring, 1942 pwhexe.dat file.

IJA forces invested Sian in strength today - suffering over 9000 troop losses in the process. The attempt to "own" the hex sides before entering the hex failed (apparently because the brigades were too small to do the job; a similar move one hex to the NE worked - and troops may enter without a shock attack - and have done so). Allied forces captured Oosthaven by default (the attack never went home because it changed sides) - and invested in strength. It will be a forward fighter base tomorrow. In the South Seas, Lord Howe Island was captured - and unescorted bombers able to reach the island were unable to hit Akagi or Mutsu - covering the landings. The Allied carrier group made Soerabaja; two carriers are undamaged, the other two can work off their minor damage without a shipyard. Air groups began converting or toping off spares yesterday (having flown to base from the carriers still at sea). Refueled, this force is at half strength, will be at 3/4 in 4 days and full strength in 6.

ABDA forces tried, and failed, to totally disable a brigade of tanks today at Kotabumi. In spite of winning the contest for air control for the second day in a row, and inflicting serious casualties, the unit was able to rail out at the end of the day. Nevertheless, recon shows about 700 aircraft at Singapore and another 48 fighters at Djambi - and three task forces strung out between Singapore and Palembang. Palembang itself shows 14 units - an ever increasing number: presumably they are marching down the road after landing at Djambi - and in fact we usually see units on that road (including one today). It appears the enemy is concentrating at Palembang, and recon indicates at least part of that force is moving SW from it. The first landing in West Sumatra occurred today, and another goes in tonight. Meanwhile, transport aircraft flew in over a hundred air support squads to Oosthaven - creating an effective forward fighter base. With ABDA forces moving North and IJA forces moving South,
and around a thousand aircraft on each side standing up, a major battle is shaping up.

Never mind recon said Palembang Airdrome was substantially disabled, nor again that bombers did more damage today: Japanese achieved tactical surprise by operating out of it in strength today. Repeated sweeps from Singapore (by Zeros) and from Palembang (by Oscars and Tojos) eventually established air superiority over Batavia, where JAAF bombers completed destruction of its airfield. At the same time, hundreds of naval bombers sank shipping along the coasts of Sumatra and Java. A naval strike by Admiral Doorman's combined (and slightly reinforced) task force only netted one damaged destroyer which had no ammunition to shoot back with. Submarines did better, scoring hits on two more destroyers. Never mind, a new heavy surface task group showed up one hex off Batavia (possibly to rescue two stranded light cruisers out of fuel). The Allies technically won the air exchange, using both flak and fighters, but Japan appears to have established air and naval superiority over and around South Sumatra and Western Java.

The problems the Japanese have in the Eastern NEI were compounded by carrier strikes today, but they made two more landings in the distant South Pacific, and displayed remarkable air power over New Guinea re the few remaining Allied troops stranded there. Their air power over Fiji, however, was ineffective. Still, overall, with many Allied ships sunk and other task forces abandoning their missions, it was a good day for the Empire!

The Japanese elected to hit the Port of Batavia - sinking three ships unable
to get out of the shipyard there - including Royal Sovereign (which had remarkably worked off more than 20 flotation hits in a few days). Haruna's group bombarded Kilatjati - which had been evacuated due to being vulnerable. The Japanese lost 32 aircraft to the Allies 10, theater wide. But the Japanese won on the ground uniformly, capturing a location in China and Ambon, and two islands (although Norfolk surrendered before the attack went home).

The ABDA commander essentially reversed the offensive orders in South Sumatra based on air combat results in previous days. In spite of that, some units continue
to move Northward from Oosthaven, or Eastward from Krui, a West Coast port with a major road, to conduct a delaying action. Most of the landed Allied corps is withdrawing from, or moving to Oosthaven with a view to eventual withdrawal. Elements of the British 18th Division, however, ended up stranded at Benkoelen on the West Coast. While both sides (probably) anticipated the major action of the day would be over Oosthaven itself - weather prevented either side from flying to it. So the main action of the day was over Benkolen, where both sides flew sweeps and attacked ground troops with bombers. In this, the Japanese had a numbers advantage, but suffered badly on the operational attrition side. At the end of the day Allied recon reports indicated no fewer than 205 fighters based at Palembang, and there were numbers at Djambi as late as yesterday, not counting Singapore, which is in effective Zero range. Efforts to evacuate the 18th Division by sea did not execute - but several task groups are poised to remove elements tonight. But air evacuation succeeded in removing numbers of combat squads to Tjilatjap, from which they will rail to Batavia to rejoin the majority of the division.

The Allied carriers returned to Soerabaja, where Indomitable rejoined the force. Allied bombers continued to pound the port on Lord Howe Island, running into token fighter defense for the first time (in the form of float fighters - Petes). Japanese attacks on Suva failed yet again. However, air strikes on the Chinese (NVA) 200th Division in Burma badly disrupted it. The main active contest at the moment appears to be the fight for South Sumatra.
