Hawaii dispatched 24th Division to Australia today. It began loading supplies and reinforcements for Johnston Island, which again became a search base.

Tahiti is concentrating on becoming a strong base, but it still lacks significant numbers of engineers. 11 units are fully or partially ashore. It dispatched ASW ships to Palmyra, to permit tankers and other ships to unload there. Many task forces will arrive in the next week. The arrival of a replenishment task force permitted all ships to refuel. Damaged ships left to repair at Pearl Harbor. An undamaged cruiser destroyer force left for Australia. The first cruiser destroyer flotilla to Australia arrived at Sydney today and will repair minor damage. The First Battle Division will reach Sydney in four days.

Enemy units landed at Brunei today. Clark fell today. The last two units in Central Burma were wiped out today at Port Swettinham.

Enemy aircraft devastated Hengchow Air Base in South Central China today.

The enemy is losing too many aircraft to flak. Delaying actions in China are going approximately as intended.

In the Pacific, only enemy submarine activity is reported. For the first time in the near past, we have a sub sinking a ship at Tahiti. A sub is still reported at Christmas Island (Pacific) and Oahu is ringed with several subs which, in spite of heavy engagement, were apparently not hit.

The USS Arizona battleship division is now three days from Sydney. The first cruiser-destroyer dispatched to AUS is in port making minor repairs. The second
one is now well on its way from Tahiti. A replenishment task force arrived at Tahiti, permitting refueling ships. Numbers of empty ships were returned to Los Angelus. Damaged ships were sent to Hawaii to repair. So far, all land units which have arrived are being assigned to the defense of, and built up of, the Tahiti base itself.

Supplies and units and search aircraft are deploying from Hawaii to Midway, Johnston Island and Palmyra. ASW groups, supplies and fuel are en route to Christmas Island. It is planned to build up Canton Island, Samoa, Fiji and New Caledonia in the near term, but these bases near Hawaii and Tahiti are being built up first. A few task groups are moving directly to Australia - one with a RR coast defense unit - another with several tankers laden with oil for AUS refineries.

Merauke and Cape Torokina fell today. Port Moresby and Vanimo (beside Hollandia) were attacked but didn't fall. At this time no effective resistance can be offered in the New Guinea, Bismarck Archepellego and Soloman's area due to lack of forces. Australia and Tahiti have priority. After that, focus will be on developing the SLOC between Tahiti and Australia. Only after that will the Solomans area be re-invested, if indeed that is feasible. It all depends on available forces compared to enemy forces in the area.

IJA 14th Army is digesting Manila. IJA 16th Army is digesting Mindinao. It is also building up bases at Manado and Amboina.

IJA 25th Army is digesting Malaya. Allied forces in Malaya are successfully evacuating from Singapore en masse.

IJA 15th Army has begun to enter Burma. Two units crossed the border at Kawkereik along the "center" overland route.

IJA 23rd Army has flanked Kukong at Namyung with 2 units that may attack tomorrow. Most of 12th Army is not spotted, but clearly its drive North along the Pearl River has halted and only two units remain at the Northern end of their position. It may be this Army is shifting to drive on Kukong to compliment other drives on Changsha.

IJA 13th Army is apparently going to attack Fu Chow tomorrow in its Westward drive toward Changsha.

IJA 12th Army has secured the RR LOC in the Yellow River Plain area, and is driving to flank the Yellow River Line on the Chinese right.

A reported 44,000 men of IJA 1st Army is moving to contact at Huo Ma down a minor RR LOC on the Chinese left along the Yellow River Line. This force is well in advance of 12th Army and a threat to critical Chinese LOC.

A Japanese assault at Sinn Sien was defeated with about 5 times as many Japanese as Chinese casualties.

Three irregular units are operating in Manchukuo and Korea (Chosen).







This combat report is from after the Allied replay was run, so it differs from the Japanese version in the other thread.

These combat reports were generated by running the Allied Replay file 001.

Although Allied air recon now operates from half a dozen bases as far North
as Midway, down to Tahiti, Pago Pago and Suva, no enemy activity other than
submarines is reported in the Central and Southern Pacific.

Vanimo, New Guinea (near Hollandia) fell today.

Additional enemy troops landed at Lae (New Guinea).

Three enemy task groups are at Manado, likely unloading base support troops.

Almost 23,000 men are reported ashore at Ambon.

IJA 14th Army is mopping up Luzon.

IJA 16th Army is mopping up Mindinao.

Brunei fell today to a naval infantry unit.

IJA 25th Army is mopping up Malaya. The Allies are evacuating Malaya in favor of
NEI - likely Java is the main destination.

IJA 15th army has reached Burma. An attack is expected tomorrow. Minor vessels began stripping resources and oil yesterday. Larger vessels now are repeating this process with resources at Rangoon. Southern Burma will conduct a delaying action. The National Revolutionary Army (Chinese) 200th Motorized Division is almost to Prome, where the Burma Division has assembled to contest the river crossing.

IJA forces in South China captured Namyung today. This implies a possible drive on
Kukong to threaten Changsha from the South.

Another IJA force in East China captured Fu Chow today, driving on Changsha from the SEast.

Yet another IJA force was checked one hex East of Changsha yesterday. It is recovering today.

Strong IJA forces have flanked the Chinese Right along the Yellow River Line.
Two of these forced river crossings today - on of the Yellow River and one of a minor
river near Wuhan - permitting a double ended drive to link up the Road/Rail network
to Wuhan. Yet another IJA force is threatening Chinese Left by investing Huo Ma today. An attack is expected tomorrow. Commitment of the ROCAF is being considered in that battle.

In North China, the failed attack on Sinn Sien caused the force there to be in a recovery mode. Three units of the NE Anti Japanese Army are contesting the enemy rear in Manchukuo and Chosen (Korea). The enemy is in ground contact with two of these.

Allied Password WMHALSEY
Disaster! Compound disaster! An enemy carrier force sank a group of five tankers
bound for Sydney with oil for refineries. This was well NW of Tahiti and SE of Canton Island. After combat reports show one CV, one BB, and other ships. But the number of bombers implies at least two carriers. This threatens all the shipping and warships in the South Pacific. It will take a week to assemble a nominally equal task group, by which time the enemy well have left the area. It is also possible there are more enemy ships than have been detected so far. Allied air searches greatly expanded today and detected this force too late to evade it.

An expanded second assault failed to capture Lae, New Guinea today. But it did reduce fortifications - it will fall soon. Invested Port Moresby was not assaulted today. The former enemy defenders of Rabaul were dealt another blow today - deep in the
jungle.

The enemy is building up forces to wipe out remaining troops on Luzon and on Mindinao. No doubt Manado and Ambon are being built up. The same applies to Hollandia on New Guinea. And to Johore Bahru in Malaya.

The enemy invested Chao Ch'ing on the Pearl River, is moving to contact at Chou Chiu in East China, and is enveloping the Chinese Left on a massive scale at the Yellow River Line.

An Anti-Japanese Army battalion in Korea evaded the enemy. Another in Manchukuo was wiped out.




Carrier Division 1: NW of Wake. Retiring on Yokosuka.

Carrier Division 2: About three days cruising NW of Tahiti. Detected. engaged and probably entirely sank a group of tankers today. This means the enemy is aware of the existence and location of this force.
Carrier Division 3: Cam Rahn Bay. Topping off air groups and fuel. Some ships will repair minor damage. Will join the Indian Ocean Force.

Carrier Division 4: (the CVL force) Will arrive at Cam Rahn Bay in 12 hours. Was able to refuel but not rearm at Palau. Will join the Indian Ocean Force.

Carrier Division 5: 1 CV & 1 BB at Truk, 1 CV & 1 BB arrives at Truk in 12 hours, to relieve Carrier Division 2 in the South Seas contesting the build up of enemy SLOC bases, and to sink ships and their cargoes, removing them from the contest.

Battle Squadron 1: 3 BB and escorts at Cam Rahn Bay. 1 BB, 1 CA and several DD at Palau probably will sail to rejoin the day after tomorrow.

Amphib Flotilla 1: Unloading the Imperial Guards Division at Cam Rahn Bay. Will reform and join the Indian Ocean Force.

Amphib Flotilla 2: 12 hours from Cam Rahn Bay. Will unload the 33rd Class B Division (Pack) at Cam Rahn Bay. Will reform and join the Indian Ocean force. One ship loading stragglers at Bangkok may rejoin the flotilla after it departs Cam Rahn, unless it arrives in time to depart with it.

Tanker Flotilla 1: 16 hours cruising speed NE of Wallis Island. Will retire and "hide" there, repairing minor damage.

14th Army: Reducing the defenses of Manila A regiment arrives today. A tank brigade will arrive tomorrow. An SNLF will reinforce in a few days.
Manila will probably be assaulted in two days and again in 3-4 days.

16th Army: Mopping up the Mindinao Force. Also trying to find a Philippine Constabulary Regiment alleged to have formed at Zamboanga - where it does not seem to be any more. These jungle campaigns may require time to move to contact. Ambon became an operational naval base yesterday and will become an operational air base in two days. Numbers of reinforcements have diverted to speed this process. Ambon is the assembly point for the assault on Kendari and Makassar. Balikpapan will be taken from the South to avoid the narrows complicating the approach from the North.

25th Army: Moving to contact at Johore Bahru, harassing shipping evacuating troops from Singapore. Preparing for an invasion of Sumatra which will involve the first regiment sized airborne unit (the First Raiding Force).

15th Army: Captured Kawkareik in the "center" of the three secondary road
approach routes tomorrow. Other forces moving to contact along the Northern and Southern routes (the Northern one has a one hex gap in it). Still other forces are standing by for capture of a forward air base to fly in their lighter elements. But two divisions are assembling at Cam Rahn Bay for a seaborne assault to rapidly reduce the defenses of Burma.

23rd Army: Advance force moving to contact at Hsin Feng. (SE of Kukong). Main body moving to capture Kukong in force. Secondary operations invested Chao Ch'ing on the lower Pearl River. Will move on Changsha from the SE.

13th Army: Moving to contact at Chiu Chou. Will move on Changsha from the East.

11th Army: One hex from Changsha. Recovering from an attack with terrible casualties. Withdrawing two divisions which were trying to encircle Changsha to reinforce the main body of the Army. The route LOC is contested by a small unit.

12th Army: Moving to contact at Zhumidian. Major elements have enveloped
the entire area from the SE, and include two uncommitted tank divisions and the one artillery division (called an Artillery Group when assembled. This force will fall on the Yellow River Line cities in rear, although the enemy may withdraw from them in part before they can be invested. It plans to drive on Tungkwang.

1st Army: Captured Huo Ma today. This army is limited by the logistic capacity of a minor RR. It may force the enemy to abandon the Yellow River Line because it threatens Tungkwang sooner. That critical RR junction is only one hex away. So far this modest force has captured every position on the first or second assault.

Mongol Garrison Army: Recovering from a bad battle at Sinn Sien. Waiting for reinforcements before the next assault. This mountain fastness is difficult to capture.

One of three enemy units in the rear of IJA - in Manchukuo and Korea - was wiped out today One is being reduced. One is being chased.

Allied Password WMHALSEY
In the South Seas, the enemy carriers reappeared due West of Tahiti. They sank two APs in separate actions. The one in port had successfully offloaded 25 truck squads before it was sunk. The one at sea lost half of a P-39 squadron - the rest failed to load being disabled. Most ships in the area are either in hiding, or have succeeded in departing - to the US West coast if empty - to Hawaii if damaged - and in a few cases to Australia. However, many ships remain, most with cargos. Some warships which lacked the fuel or were on escort duty also remain. It remains to be seen if evasion works as hoped?
Admiral Spruance assembled the only Allied carrier division three days East of Oahu. Wether he is permitted to engage the enemy division is yet to be determined. The enemy tanker squadron is spotted five hexes East of Wallis Island.

37 fighters are reported at Ambon, indicating the airfield is operational.

Johore Bahru (just N of Singapore) fell today. It is reported 37,000 enemy troops are in the hex.

An enemy minelayer was sunk SE of Singapore today - possibly trying to mine the evacuation route through the Riouw Islands.
Twp enemy overland forces reported on secondary road approaches to Moulmein today. Just North of the Southern route enemy bombers were active trying to reduce opposition to the drive.

Hsin Feng (South China) captured today. Chao Ching attacked by bombers and ground assault, but held in good shape today.
34,000 enemy troops reported moving on Changsha from the SE. A different
army is just East of the city, recovering from a failed attack a few days ago.

Only two points on the N-S RR line remain under Chinese control. One of these, Zhumudian, is under movement to contact by the enemy. Due to lack of supplies, most units in this hex are trying to escape a double envelopment from both NE and SW. But some will remain to force an attack. The enemy is generally engaged in a strategic double envelopment of the entire line, with a separate force moving to contact on the left flank, and a split main army driving on the Center and from the SE.
The Yellow River Line will become untenable in about 3 days.
One guerilla battalion active in Manchukuo, one more in Chosen.
The rate of enemy accumulation of victory points is insufficient to win an auto-victory even if it could be sustained. Usually, this becomes impractical by summer. However, the enemy may well capture major cities soon, turning this around.

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The enemy carrier force in the South Seas is four hexes East of Tahiti. It attcked the port with many aircraft but failed to inflict any damage today. It spotted several ships at Anaa atol.
Admiral Spruance's Allied Carrier Division is two days East of Oahu, retiring on the island until a strategy is decided on how to employ them? An immediate move to Tahiti was rejected today.
An enemy carrier force three hexes ENE of Singapore raided today in force, sinking a newly arrived, empty transport task group. Two task forces, one fast and one slow, successfully loaded many units today, went to sea, and were not engaged by the enemy. They were detected, however, and enemy carriers may pursue them. It is no longer safe to send ships to Singapore - the few remaining units there will be lost.
Twp enemy overland forces reported on secondary road approaches to Moulmein today. Just North of the Southern route enemy bombers were active trying to reduce opposition to the drive.

Chao Ching (South China) attacked by bombers and ground assault, but held in good shape today. Four enemy ground forces converging on Kukong and Kan Hsien. The enemy is coming from the SE and the East - via open country rather than fighting through woods.
33,000 enemy troops reported moving on Changsha from the SE. A different
army is just East of the city, recovering from a failed attack a few days ago.

Only two points on the N-S RR line remain under Chinese control. Both of these, Zhumudian and Chengchow, were invested by the enemy today. The enemy is generally engaged in a strategic double envelopment of the entire line, with a separate force moving to contact on the left flank, and a split main army driving on the Center and from the SE. The Yellow River Line will become untenable in about 2 days.
One guerilla battalion active in Manchukuo, one more in Chosen.
The rate of enemy accumulation of victory points is insufficient to win an auto-victory even if it could be sustained. Usually, this becomes impractical by summer. However, the enemy may well capture major cities soon, turning this around.

The enemy carrier force in the South Seas is four hexes ne of Tahiti. It attcked the port as well as the port on the island of Anaa today, causing minor damage at Tahiti. It spotted three minor vessels at Apataki Island.

Admiral Spruance's Allied Carrier Division arrived at Pearl Harbor today, as did a supporting replenishment task group. As well, the US 24th Infantry Division task force returned to Hawaii, after a failed attempt to transit to Australia (because of the appearance of enemy carriers in its path). Ships will repair, replenish, and reorganize to a new (unformed) plan of operations in the Central and South Pacific area. Empty ships will depart Oahu for the US West Coast tomorrow, using escorts no longer needed to cover carriers, tankers and amphibs.

38,000 enemy troops are reported at Johore Bahru, just North of Singapore. Three enemy task forces (Amphib? ASW? Covering?) are reported about 3 hexes SE of Singapore. An enemy carrier task force is reported East of Bankha Island, from which position it attacked minor Allied ships NW, E and SW of its position, the latter causing considerable casualties to troops evacuating from Singapore. Allied fighters from Batavia contested those attacks.

20,000 enemy troops are reported on secondary road approaches to Moulmein today. An enemy unit is reported on the Thai border on the road over Two Pagadoa's Pass.

3 Enemy units reached Kan Hsien (South China) today and are expected to attack tomorrow. 3 more may be moving to contact on Kukong from the SE. 10,000 enemy troops at Chao Ching (Pearl River) are being reinforced by a unit moving in from the East, across the river. A tight defense of Kukong is being organized, with a backup defense position at Ch'en Chou. A strong defense of 'the corner' at Liu Chow - with extensive forward defenses in favorable terrain - is being organized - with units withdrawing from forward positions in favor of this option.

The First New Guerilla Battalion captured Ying Tan on the E-W RR line from Shanghai to Changsha. An enemy unit marched into the hex today. 8 enemy units leading the SE approach to Changsha reached the front line today and may attack a rear guard tomorrow. The rear guard was ejected from Nan Ping today. A tight defense of Changsha, permitting high density of front line units in favorable terrain and/or fortifications, is being organized.

Only one point (Chengchow) on the N-S RR line remains under Chinese control. 3 enemy units entered the city overland rather than crossing the Yellow River. Zhumudian fell today. 2 enemy units are approaching Nanyang from the SE. Powerful enemy forces are sweeping in across open country all along the no longer extant right flank of the Yellow River Line. 18 enemy units remain on the other side of the Yellow River, with one moving by primary road around the right flank by a primary road/bridge held by the enemy. In addition, a different enemy force has reached Yenchang on the Left Flank, well to the rear of the Line. The defense of Chengchow and Loyang, with their important airfields, is no longer feasible. The Line will be abandoned (except for rear guards) in favor of defending the Tungkwang RR junction and the Nanyang-Sian (primary) Road. [This road is the Mother Road, running all the way from Central Asia to Shanghai.]

One guerilla battalion active in Manchukuo, one more in Chosen. The latter will be attacked tomorrow.

The Indian Army 44th Brigade reached Tjilitjap today. Two of three Australian brigades of the 8th AIF Division will be evacuated from there to Darwin, where the rest of the division is located. These two brigades are moderately damaged, the third has many damaged infantry squads. As well, one badly damaged infantry battalion left today for Columbo and another began moving by rail from Batavia to Tjilitjap for evacuation. Units from Malaya, the Philippines and NEI in good shape are being organized for a strong, combined arms defense of Java. There are finally enough aviation support squads to operate all the aircraft being concentrated there. The main ABDA surface force has moved to Makassar. A smaller force is en route to Balikpapan. Large tankers will no longer be sent to Balikpapan to load. The Ternate base force detachment is in en route to Java near Kendari. Only about 9,000 troops remain at Singapore, but these are probably doomed to surrender. So are about 1,000 more on the Riouw Islands.

Axis Password ADMOZAWA

Carrier Division 1: At Yokosuka, Japan. Needs about 26 days for repairs on carriers, about 5 days for repairs on BB Kongo and CA Tone. Air groups at or above full strength except for Musashi's search Shotai (1 aircraft on hand). This group needs 1 BB, 1 CA and at 7 DD for operations.

Carrier Division 2: Four hexes NE of Tahiti. Air strikes on ships in port at two locations failed to produce any results. However, disruption of the enemy SLOC probably is significant. It is not yet decided what to do next?

Carrier Division 3: Two hexes East of Bangkha Island. Successful sunk numbers of minor transports, some with troops evacuated from Malaya. Four enemy task forces, probably transports, are between it and Batavia. Enemy fighters contested some of today's air strikes. It is not yet decided what to do next?

Carrier Division 4: [The CVL Force] All six CVL's fully repaired with slightly overstrength air groups. Awaiting the fuel required to assemble Slice Two of the Indian Ocean Force. This is inbound from Japan and Borneo on tankers as well as from Formosa on transport ships.

Carrier Division 5: At Truk. Needs about 6 days of repairs in the case of Akagi. To relieve Carrier Division 2 in the South Seas to cut and surpress building of bases along the SLOC to Australia from the US West Coast.

Battle Division 1: 5 BB and escorts. At Sea, covering Slice One of the Indian Ocean Force. SE of Singapore.

Amphib Flotilla 1: At sea as Slice One of the Indian Ocean Force. SE of Singapore. Nominally planning to augment the invasion of Burma. May instead invade Sumatra.

Amphib Flotilla 2: At Cam Rahn Bay. Reforming as Slice Two of the Indian Ocean Force with the 34th Division embarked. Substantially but not fully fueled. Needs additional escorts.

Tanker Flotilla 1: At Truk undergoing repairs. Will sail in support of, and probably in advance of, Carrier Division 5.

Tanker Flotilla 2 (Formerly Tanker Flotilla): NW of Tahiti. Headed to a point W of Tahiti. Supporting Carrier Division 2.

14th Army: Reducing Manila. 21st Assault Engineer Regiments withdrawing due to casualties, leaving hex today. 3rd Assault Engineer Regiment was able to restore strength and is no longer withdrawing. 21st Division needs about 3 days to become fit to assault again. The rest of the Army has recovered sufficient to attack.

16th Army: Mopping up the Mindinao Force. Also trying to find a Philippine Constabulary Regiment alleged to have formed at Zamboanga - where it does not seem to be any more. These jungle campaigns may require time to move to contact. Manado & Ambon continue to build up as air bases. Will be used for the invasion of Celebes, Borneo and islands East of Java.

25th Army: Substantially at Johore Bahru. Moving to contact on Singapore. Building up air bases closer to Singapore. Building up supplies at Johore Bahru. One division still moving in elements to combine into division form. Needs about one day to begin the final approach to Singapore. The assault may occur in 3 or 4 days. Preparing for an invasion of Sumatra which will involve the first regiment sized airborne unit (the First Raiding Force).

15th Army: Moving to contact along three secondary roads converging on Moulmein. Still other forces are standing by for capture of a forward air base to fly in their lighter elements. Imperial Guards Division with strong covering forces en route to the Indian Ocean for a seaborne assault to rapidly reduce the defenses of Burma.

23rd Army: Kan Hsien to be assaulted today. HQ and 103rd Division moving to contact at Kukong. 19th Assault Engineer Regiment moving to contact to reinforce the RGC 20th Division at Chao Ch'ing (near Canton).

13th Army: Moving on Changsha from the SE. In contact with an enemy rear guard, but LOC is cut. May attack anyway. Will attack Ying Tan to clear LOC with troops still in strategic mode.

11th Army: One hex from Changsha. Being reinforced by a brigade (nearest) and two divisions. Additional reinforcements may be added. Will eventually spread out to attack on a two hex front, presumably causing the enemy to spread out as well.

12th Army: Captured Zhumidian today. Moving NE and West from there. Two tank divisions will attack front line one hex SE of Namyung in open country today. This will probably force the Yellow River Line to be abandoned. So will a First Army attack on the other flank. Assembling large numbers of troops, including the Artillery Group, at Hsin Hsiang, across the Yellow River, from Chengchow. This is the last hex of the N-S RR line to be enemy controlled North of the Yangtze. This city is already invested from its SW side. It is likely to fall soon.

1st Army: Will attack Yenchang today. Will enter the town tomorrow. This army is limited by the logistic capacity of a minor RR. It may force the enemy to abandon the Yellow River Line because it threatens Tungkwang sooner. That critical RR junction is only one hex away. So far this modest force has captured every position on the first or second assault. As this is clear terrain, that is likely again.

Mongol Garrison Army: At Sinn Sien. Waiting for reinforcements before the next assault. This mountain fastness is difficult to capture. Clearing Upper Yellow River area in a concurrent operation.

Moving to contact with one enemy unit in Manchukuo. Attacking one in Chosen.

The enemy carrier force in the South Seas is 11 hexes NW hexes ne of Tahiti and moving NW. It attcked the port as well as the port on the island of Apataki today, causing minor damage at Tahiti.

Admiral Spruance's Allied Carrier Division went into maintenance at Pearl Harbor today, as did a supporting replenishment task group. As well, the US 24th Infantry Division task force began unloading at after a failed attempt to transit to Australia (because of the appearance of enemy carriers in its path). Ships with supplies, fuel and land units continue to arrive, as do damaged ships, some laden, from the Tahiti area. The major collection assets in Hawaii need a plan.
In the South Pacific, the island of Hao, 13 hexes SE of Tahiti, was selected for building an alternate base. The enemy is ignoring it. It has the potential for a very large airfield and an adequate port - identical to Tahiti itself. Tahiti itself is building fortifications and airfield facilities, delayed by the absence of any runway. Palmyra, Christmas Island (Pacific) and Johnston Island are building facilities as well. Palmyra has numbers of units and aircraft intended for other bases. There is no viable LOC, even for aircraft, to Australia at this time. It is decided that strong bases with significant aircraft compliments are necessary to create one.

58,000 enemy troops are reported at Johore Bahru, just North of Singapore. The Imperial Guards Division (reinforced) landed at Djambe, Sumatra. As well, airborne detachments captured Benkalis (a minor oil port with refinery) and Prebmoelih (the main oil town on Sumatra). The enemy carrier task force and another task force are now NW of the NW tip of Borneo. It appears to have provided air cover for the amphib and air landings.

Three enemy units walked into Moulmein today and will probably attack tomorrow. As well, a significant airborne assault failed to capture the city. This assault reduced fortifications from 2 to zero. An enemy unit has crossed into Burma via Three Pagadoa's Pass, but the 3rd Burma Rifles withdrew from the forward position in favor of contesting the coastal town of Ye. Another enemy unit, on the road East of Ye, is moving to close with that town.


Kan Hsien (South China) fell today. 3 enemy units are moving to contact on Kukong from the SE. 10,000 enemy troops at Chao Ching (Pearl River) are being reinforced by a unit moving in from the East, across the river. A tight defense of Kukong is being organized, with a backup defense position at Ch'en Chou. A strong defense of 'the corner' at Liu Chow - with extensive forward defenses in favorable terrain - is being organized - with units withdrawing from forward positions in favor of this option.

The First New Guerilla Battalion was driven out of Ying Tan on the E-W RR line from Shanghai to Changsha only one day after the village was captured. Two more enemy unit marched into the hex today. 8 enemy units leading the SE approach to Changsha failed to achieve odds attacking the rear guard in forest today. This confirms the strategy of defending in favorable terrain. A tight defense of Changsha, permitting high density of front line units in favorable terrain and/or fortifications, is being organized.

Only one point (Chengchow) on the N-S RR line remains under Chinese control. Another enemy unit entered the city overland rather than crossing the Yellow River. 5 enemy units one hex SE of Nanyang ejected the 11th Army Group with 9,000 casualties. This force contains a majority of all tanks in the IJA. Powerful enemy forces are sweeping in across open country all along the no longer extant right flank of the Yellow River Line. 19 enemy units remain on the other side of the Yellow River, and one more move by primary road around the right flank by a primary road/bridge held by the enemy. In addition, a different enemy force (First Army) attacked Yenchang on the Left Flank, but the first assault failed to capture the city (due to fortifications). Since it didn't suffer high casualties, the enemy will re-assault again in the near future. The defense of Chengchow and Loyang, with their important airfields, is no longer feasible. The Line will be abandoned (except for rear guards) in favor of defending the Tungkwang RR junction and the Nanyang-Sian (primary) Road. [This road is the Mother Road, running all the way from Central Asia to Shanghai.]

One guerilla battalion active in Manchukuo, one more in Chosen. The one in Chosen survived another attack, due to favorable terrain. So did two on Hainan Island.

The 22nd Australian AIF brigade of the 8th AIF Division left Tjilitjap for Darwin today. The badly mauled 3/16th Punjab battalion left for Ceylon. Survivors from Malaya continue to land at Batavia. Units from Malaya, the Philippines and NEI in good shape are being organized for a strong, combined arms defense of Java. There are finally enough aviation support squads to operate all the aircraft being concentrated there. The main ABDA surface force has moved to Makassar. A smaller force has moved Balikpapan. Large tankers will no longer be sent to Balikpapan to load. Only about 9,000 troops remain at Singapore, but these are probably doomed to surrender. So are about 1,000 more on the Riouw Islands.

Axis Password ADMOZAWA

Carrier Division 1: At Yokosuka, Japan. Needs about 26 days for repairs on carriers, about 5 days for repairs on BB Kongo and CA Tone. Air groups at or above full strength except for Musashi's search Shotai (1 aircraft on hand). This group needs 1 BB, 1 CA and at 7 DD for operations.

Carrier Division 2: Four hexes NE of Tahiti. Air strikes on ships in port at two locations failed to produce any results. However, disruption of the enemy SLOC probably is significant. It is not yet decided what to do next?

Carrier Division 3: Two hexes East of Bangkha Island. Successful sunk numbers of minor transports, some with troops evacuated from Malaya. Four enemy task forces, probably transports, are between it and Batavia. Enemy fighters contested some of today's air strikes. It is not yet decided what to do next?

Carrier Division 4: [The CVL Force] All six CVL's fully repaired with slightly overstrength air groups. Awaiting the fuel required to assemble Slice Two of the Indian Ocean Force. This is inbound from Japan and Borneo on tankers as well as from Formosa on transport ships.

Carrier Division 5: At Truk. Needs about 6 days of repairs in the case of Akagi. To relieve Carrier Division 2 in the South Seas to cut and surpress building of bases along the SLOC to Australia from the US West Coast.

Battle Division 1: 5 BB and escorts. At Sea, covering Slice One of the Indian Ocean Force. SE of Singapore.

Amphib Flotilla 1: At sea as Slice One of the Indian Ocean Force. SE of Singapore. Nominally planning to augment the invasion of Burma. May instead invade Sumatra.

Amphib Flotilla 2: At Cam Rahn Bay. Reforming as Slice Two of the Indian Ocean Force with the 34th Division embarked. Substantially but not fully fueled. Needs additional escorts.

Tanker Flotilla 1: At Truk undergoing repairs. Will sail in support of, and probably in advance of, Carrier Division 5.

Tanker Flotilla 2 (Formerly Tanker Flotilla): NW of Tahiti. Headed to a point W of Tahiti. Supporting Carrier Division 2.

14th Army: Reducing Manila. 21st Assault Engineer Regiments withdrawing due to casualties, leaving hex today. 3rd Assault Engineer Regiment was able to restore strength and is no longer withdrawing. 21st Division needs about 3 days to become fit to assault again. The rest of the Army has recovered sufficient to attack.

16th Army: Mopping up the Mindinao Force. Also trying to find a Philippine Constabulary Regiment alleged to have formed at Zamboanga - where it does not seem to be any more. These jungle campaigns may require time to move to contact. Manado & Ambon continue to build up as air bases. Will be used for the invasion of Celebes, Borneo and islands East of Java.

25th Army: Substantially at Johore Bahru. Moving to contact on Singapore. Building up air bases closer to Singapore. Building up supplies at Johore Bahru. One division still moving in elements to combine into division form. Needs about one day to begin the final approach to Singapore. The assault may occur in 3 or 4 days. Preparing for an invasion of Sumatra which will involve the first regiment sized airborne unit (the First Raiding Force).

15th Army: Moving to contact along three secondary roads converging on Moulmein. Still other forces are standing by for capture of a forward air base to fly in their lighter elements. Imperial Guards Division with strong covering forces en route to the Indian Ocean for a seaborne assault to rapidly reduce the defenses of Burma.

23rd Army: Kan Hsien to be assaulted today. HQ and 103rd Division moving to contact at Kukong. 19th Assault Engineer Regiment moving to contact to reinforce the RGC 20th Division at Chao Ch'ing (near Canton).

13th Army: Moving on Changsha from the SE. In contact with an enemy rear guard, but LOC is cut. May attack anyway. Will attack Ying Tan to clear LOC with troops still in strategic mode.

11th Army: One hex from Changsha. Being reinforced by a brigade (nearest) and two divisions. Additional reinforcements may be added. Will eventually spread out to attack on a two hex front, presumably causing the enemy to spread out as well.

12th Army: Captured Zhumidian today. Moving NE and West from there. Two tank divisions will attack front line one hex SE of Namyung in open country today. This will probably force the Yellow River Line to be abandoned. So will a First Army attack on the other flank. Assembling large numbers of troops, including the Artillery Group, at Hsin Hsiang, across the Yellow River, from Chengchow. This is the last hex of the N-S RR line to be enemy controlled North of the Yangtze. This city is already invested from its SW side. It is likely to fall soon.

1st Army: Will attack Yenchang today. Will enter the town tomorrow. This army is limited by the logistic capacity of a minor RR. It may force the enemy to abandon the Yellow River Line because it threatens Tungkwang sooner. That critical RR junction is only one hex away. So far this modest force has captured every position on the first or second assault. As this is clear terrain, that is likely again.

Mongol Garrison Army: At Sinn Sien. Waiting for reinforcements before the next assault. This mountain fastness is difficult to capture. Clearing Upper Yellow River area in a concurrent operation.

Moving to contact with one enemy unit in Manchukuo. Attacking one in Chosen.

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The enemy carrier force in the South Pacific, and its attending tanker train,
has disappeared. Presumably it is somewhere to the NW of Tahiti, refueling.

Mifune was able to consult and direct Allied strategy. The large assembled forces at Oahu will form up a set of convoys to reinforce Canton Island and Australia (and possibly also Fiji and New Caledonia), covered by the carrier group. An attempt will be made to cross the Pacific directly, supported at the Eastern end by now improved search bases at Johnston Island, Palmyra and Christmas Island (Pacific). He confirmed the decision to build up an alternative base at Hao, SE of Tahiti, with scratch forces originally sent to build up the SLOC. Numbers of air units stranded at Tahiti, Christmas Island and Palmyra will be withdrawn to Hawaii to the extent they cannot be based in the South Pacific. Assuming that Canton is able to be supplied, the B-17 force on Hawaii will then transit to Australia.

The Australian command has decided the enemy is passive enough to permit evacuation of forward units stranded by the offensive. An attempt will be made using fast ships to withdraw units from Noumea and possibly to re-capture Merauke, New Guinea (which seems to have been taken by a tiny landing party). The Australian 8th Division is now planning to defend Darwin and Northern Territory. One brigade has assembled there, the other two are now en route by sea. Unfortunately, this division is not in good condition, which is why it was not committed to early combat on Java.

Two fresh brigades have arrived on Java from India, in addition to most of the Army from Malaya. Two battalions have been returned to Ceylon to reform, and two Aussie brigades, somewhat understrength, have now left for Darwin to reform the 8th AIF Division. An expected enemy offensive in the Eastern NEI may now coincide with, or even follow, an invasion from the West. Clearly Sumatra is being invaded and enemy warships off Borneo may indicate it is next. An attempt to get small ships to Singapore with a view to further evacuations (a test of enemy air tasking) revealed that route is no longer viable - all three ships were lost today. Other small vessels, hoping to evacuate a small base force on Borneo, remain in hiding. The South Sumatra Garrison Battalion began marching South from Palembang today, hoping (with air support from Batavia) to clear the LOC of enemy light airborne units.

Burma's invasion began in earnest today, with the loss of Moulmein and also of a position South of it on the border. Another enemy unit marched into Ye today, indicating it is likely to fall tomorrow. It is defended by the 3rd Burma Rifles Battalion. Two similar battalions, supported by a base force, failed to stop a reinforced regimental assault at Moulmein today, and one of them surrendered!
[They DID prevent its capture yesterday by airborne assault, but the airborne entirely eliminated the fortifications built up over weeks of time.] Burmese colonial troops appear not to be impressive! Still - Burma may have a surprise. The Burma Division has assembled, it is supported directly by the Burma Command HQ, and it is also supported by the Chinese 200th Motorized Division. These are all resting in a fortified position behind a river at Pegu. It is hoped the enemy advance force (a regiment, Army HQ and an artillery unit) will be unable to capture the position. What to do when reinforcement catch up with the advance force is a different matter. Burma is in general evacuation toward the North, generally being stripped of supplies and resources, and intends to retreat into China rather than try the difficult passage to India. No construction of airfields is going on - so as not to hand over more assets to the enemy.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). The enemy appears to have switched from clearing the Pearl River basin (a surprise as it is clear terrain) in favor of moving on Kukong in force.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, the defense has been broken by a massive invasion around the right flank, in particular involving numbers of tank formations. At the same time, a drive down the Upper Yellow River, on the left flank, has reached a position in open terrain 1 hex Northeast (!) of Tungkwang, where both major and minor RR LOC join, facilitating logistic support of a major force. Units are in general withdrawal toward Kukong, and toward Nanyang, but need time to complete the maneuver - time which may not be available. An enemy tank division (with over a thousand AFV's) invested Nanyang today. The good news is that the entire group of units East of the city managed to arrive today. But extraction from Chengchow isn't going well at all. The real problem is that forces are concentrated too far forward and there is no defense in depth except along the road running SE from Sian. There is no defense at all west of the front line - open terrain - and the defense of Tungkwang itself (likely the enemy objective so he can feed his troops) is only just starting to build up. The First War Area HQ arrived today. There are now two corps defending the critical junction of railroads, roads and rivers. 95th Corps defends the forest hex to the East. Three more corps should rail in from Loyang in four days. Third Army Group HQ will rail in to a critical hex covering both the RR LOC and the primary road LOC one hex SE of Sian (the forest town of Lantian) in three days. It already has 36th Corps dug in. Unfortunately, there are no reserves other than damaged units behind this screen other than the NRA 3rd Corps, tasked with and planned for the defense of Sian City itself. It is hoped troops can retreat from Nanyang in time to mount a better defense in depth.

There remains one battalion of the NE Anti-Japanese Army in action (in Manchuria) - the 4th Battalion (under the command of Soviet Major Kim Il Sung) surrendered today (in Korea). At least he was defending soil sacred to him!

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The enemy carrier force in the South Pacific, and its attending tanker train,
has disappeared. Presumably it is somewhere to the NW of Tahiti, refueling.
Under the strategic direction provided by Mifune, the 24th Division left Hawaii on a task force today, bound for Melbourne. As well, the 3rd Marine Defense Battalion, and the 2nd Marine Engineer Regiment, left on a separate convoy (in company), bound for Canton Island. Both are covered by the Allied Carrier Force, which for some reason has no admiral embarked! To it is commanded by Captain Ramsey of USS Saratoga.

One small unit evacuating the Soloman's area was lost today when the German Raider Ichi Maru (ex Thor) sank the ship it was embarked on, near the Southern tip of New Guinea. A larger force was detected and even attacked (by 3 Hudsons) in the same area: it appears reinforcements are being sent to help capture Port Moresby. Other enemy units have cleared out the Lae area except for the mountain fastness of Wau, where the Lae Base Force retreated to join the last surviving company of the New Guinea Rifles. Other enemy units are capturing and building bases on Bougainville. Fast AP and warships intended to act as fast transports are en route to the New Guinea area to evacuate troops and possibly harass the enemy. A fully repaired division of battleships (USS Arizona and USS Pennsylvania) is at Sydney. The South Seas Force of cruisers and destroyers is substantially at Noumea.

There is no sign of the expected invasion from the East - only two ships were spotted at Manado - and they have been there for days. But an enemy transport formation and a carrier formation were spotted two hexes North of Kuching. This combines with invasions at three points of Sumatra to imply the immediate threat is from the West. The South Sumatra Garrison Battalion recaptured Praboemoelih, the oil town one hex South of Palembang, in a river crossing shock attack today. It was supported by the entire Dutch B-10 force reinforced by the Philippine Air Force flying B-18s, covered by P-40Bs of the USAAF. Two airborne units were isolated and likely will be wiped out tomorrow. The Palembang Base Force is converting to Strategic Mode so it can rail out. It was decided to remove three regiments of Dutch troops from Sumatra,
the West Sumatra Regiment, the North Sumatra Regiment, and the Medan Composite Regiment. Ships are en route from Java and Ceylon to facilitate this. The Medan Regiment is railing North to Sabang, where the North Sumatra Regiment is already assembled. This is a substantial number of troops, more than is available anywhere else to reinforce Java - where the main fight is intended to be.

Burma lost Ye today, and another local battalion surrendered rather than retreat. The decision not to fight for South Burma except at Pegu (retreating into Rangoon) is confirmed. However, it has been decided to contest Mandalay in force, and Chinese troops are moving forward to that end. Note that the Chinese Army's only motorized unit (the 200th Division, formerly a tank division) is at Pegu. The only remaining tank company in China is in the HQ of 5th Army Group, which also has a battalion of Russian armored cars and other specialist units, now moving to contest Mandalay, supported by the very powerful 31st Heavy Corps.
Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). The enemy appears to have switched from clearing the Pearl River basin (a surprise as it is clear terrain) in favor of moving on Kukong in force.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, the defense has been broken by a massive invasion around the right flank, in particular involving numbers of tank formations. At the same time, a drive down the Upper Yellow River, on the left flank, has reached a position in open terrain 1 hex Northeast (!) of Tungkwang, where both major and minor RR LOC join, facilitating logistic support of a major force. The withdrawal into Nanyang went better than expected, because Chinese units used a primary road while enemy units trying to cut them off had to use secondary roads. The withdrawal from Chengchow has been less successful, but the enemy is not interfering with it - and units are mainly in march mode. Defense in depth is slowly being established, but depends critically on arrival of units which are too far forward - it is unclear if the approaches to Sian will hold (or even if the enemy will test them)? But there is some risk of a major debacle in this area.
In North China an attack on the mountain stronghold of Sinn Sien is expected tomorrow.

There remains one battalion of the NE Anti-Japanese Army in action (in Manchuria) - the 4th Battalion (under the command of Soviet Major Kim Il Sung) surrendered today (in Korea). At least he was defending soil sacred to him!

Allied Password WMHALSEY

In spite of significant, and one surprising, enemy victories today, the air war is going very well indeed. Air to air combat losses were 41 (Japanese) to 6 (Allied) - mainly due to the success of the AFG. [Two squadrons based at Sian alternate between flying sweeps and CAP over the front lines - one fully resting all the time so pilots are fresh]. Although enemy bombers were effective, and contributed to a significant land victory, they paid a high price to establish and maintain air control.

The surprise was the failure to eliminate two isolated fragments of airborne units at the oil town one hex South of Palembang. Instead, the enemy achieved air superiority over the entire area, dropping supplies to the isolated units, capturing the next town to the West (so they can retreat), and decimated the South Sumatra Garrison Battalion (which is now 90% disrupted, with only 7 effective line infantry squads remaining). The enemy airborne did suffer from effective bomber attacks as well as some ground assault casualties. But the Palembang Base Force remains unable to rail out, and the Imperial Guards Division is marching in from Djambe. The enemy op was possible because Djambe was used as a forward base, and because the CVL force moved to support it.
The enemy carrier force in the South Pacific, reappeared and is now two hexes due West of Tahiti. In spite of achieving operational surprise, it failed to find or sink any ships!
Allied amphib task forces in the Central Pacific, covered by the Allied Carrier Division, are 7 hexes SE of Johnston Island. One force will land units and supplies at Canton Island. The other is attempting (for the second time) to deliver the US 24th Infantry Division to Brisbane. No enemy units are in sight. No fewer than three squadrons of PBY search from Johnston Island. More search from Christmas Island and Hawaii. 2 squadrons of B-26s transferred to American Samoa. 2 others to Oahu. All from Palmyra. 2 squadrons of fighters, lacking an airfield, managed to escape Tahiti by (slow) ships - apparently neither was detected.

In the South Pacific, the "new base" at Hau suffers from a total lack of engineers of appropriate support units. Supplies and fuel are being successfully unloaded, as are troops which happened to be on the ships that reached the refuge. But other units (on Tahiti) need to transfer to permit building of proper facilities and a serious defense of the island. That said, this base is the destination of convoys leaving the US West Coast or Panama - or even the South Atlantic - on the assumption the enemy will not be watching it.

The Australian command has decided the enemy is passive enough to permit evacuation of forward units stranded by the offensive. An attempt will be made using fast ships to withdraw units from Noumea and possibly to re-capture Merauke, New Guinea (which seems to have been taken by a tiny landing party). The commander of the two task groups so tasked is 8 hexes NE of Rockhampton and decided to continue the operation in spite of a report of enemy ships in the area: it appears he has tactical superiority in combat ships. The Australian 8th Division is now planning to defend Darwin and Northern Territory. One brigade has assembled there, the other two are now en route by sea. Unfortunately, this division is not in good condition, which is why it was not committed to early combat on Java.

ABDA forces on Java mainly continue construction of defenses, but they did conduct the second day of operations over South Sumatra. In spite of spectacular success yesterday, and tactical success in bombing today, they filed in their mission to wipe out the enemy airborne incursion. In spite of that, both bomber and fighter units committed suffered almost no casualties, and are not significantly fatigued. The main ABDA surface force withdrew from Kendari to Makassar today. The second one at Balikpapan has been reinforced. A short range one assembled gunboats and PT boats at Suminep on Madura Island (beside Soerabaja). Enemy carriers are NE of Palembang. Enemy amphibs are at Sambas and Kuching. Enemy ASW groups are at Miri. No other enemy task forces are in sight in spite of numbers of units assigned to air search operations. The expected enemy invasion from the East has not appeared since Ambon was captured.

The enemy 15th Army advance force is moving to contact at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein). Other enemy units are moving forward along secondary roads behind it. One unit (a RTA Division) is reported at Ye.

An attack on the French Foreign Legion 5th REI Regiment at Cao Lai (in the very North of Indochina) failed today. It does release that unit to fight in China. At this time, there is no intention to stop defending Northern Indochina.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 6 enemy units are moving to reinforce 3 already at Kukong. 1 enemy unit is moving to reinforce one already at Ch'ao Ching on the Pearl River. The Kowloon "Brigade" battalion organized at Foshan, also on the Pearl River, today.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 5 enemy units are now in Nanyang, with 6 more moving to contact. At Chengchow, there are now 7 enemy units in the city, with about 12 move moving in. This city is now evacuated except for a strong rear guard force (one HQ, one corps and one engineer unit, all planned for its defenese). Most of the 14 units at Loyang are trying to rail out before the RR is cut (at Tungkwang). Just NW of Tungkwang, Yenchang fell today in spite of significant numbers of Allied air victories. The ROC First Corps was disorganized in the battle. However, Tungkwang itself is now rather well defended, as troops continue to rail in, and because the defenders of Yenchang retreated into it. The main problem is that, to the West of Yenchang, Weinan is entirely undefended, in open terrain. From that position Sian can be attacked directly, or the enemy could try to cut off Tungkwang by crossing the river to Lantian. That, fortunately, is both defended and in forest terrain.
Except for bomber attacks, Sinn Sien was quiet today.
There remains one battalion of the NE Anti-Japanese Army in action (in Manchuria).

RE: RHS 129 Total War Option Mifune vs ElCid: Allied 9 Jan 1942 Turn

Post by el cid again »



Allied Password WMHALSEY

I proposed to Mifune that the British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion be airlifted to Praboemoelih (South of Palembang and a good airfield) to take the heat off the South Sumatra Garrison Battalion and facilitate the destruction of two enemy airborne units badly disrupted at that location. [I love to destroy pesky airborne units - and they are so light it isn't hard to do]. As well, I proposed to move the Indian Army 48th Ghurka Brigade - already in strategic mode at Merak on the Sunda Strait - to Sumatra to rail in to insure a temporary ground superiority in the area so the Palembang Base Force can withdraw. [It is now unable to move because the enemy is on the RR] I flew in RAF No 21 Squadron (18 Buffalos) to insure temporary air control over both hexes - and to stop enemy supply drops (or worse, reinforcements). This succeeded, and most of the 2nd Loyal Battalion is now on the ground - enough to attack the airborne tomorrow (with bomber support out of Batavia; the bombers were fit to fly even today).

The enemy carrier force in the South Pacific, disappeared again. Problem - if it moves at cruising speed to the NW, it may intercept the major US task forces crossing from Hawaii to Canton Island (and then on to Melbourne). This requires careful evaluation for the next turn. I must do this based entirely on game display data rather than the actual position, course and speed of the undetected enemy force.

The Australian command has decided the enemy is passive enough to permit evacuation of forward units stranded by the offensive. An attempt will be made using fast ships to withdraw units from Noumea and possibly to re-capture Merauke, New Guinea (which seems to have been taken by a tiny landing party). The commander of the two task groups so tasked is 8 hexes NE of Rockhampton and decided to continue the operation in spite of a report of enemy ships in the area: it appears he has tactical superiority in combat ships. The Australian 8th Division is now planning to defend Darwin and Northern Territory. One brigade has assembled there, the other two are now en route by sea. Unfortunately, this division is not in good condition, which is why it was not committed to early combat on Java. An enemy reinforcement unit has landed at Kappa Kappa, South of Port Moresby.

ABDA forces on Java mainly continue construction of defenses, but they did airland the battalion described above on Sumatra. Ships have been sent to move the West Sumatra Garrison Regiment. [Two more regiments are to be moved by ships from Ceylon] Small reinforcement units are arriving from India - brigades and specialist units like AA and base forces. A special effort was made so the brigade described above can cross the Sunda Strait tomorrow. RAF No 21 Squadron moved to Sumatra.

The enemy 15th Army advance force captured Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein) today. Other enemy units are moving forward along secondary roads behind it. One unit (a RTA Division) is reported at Ye.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 5 enemy units are moving to reinforce 5 already at Kukong - an increase from 9 to 10 total since yesterday. 1 enemy unit is moving to reinforce one already at Ch'ao Ching on the Pearl River. A diversionary attack is being attempted in the Pearl River estuary because we gained another maneuver unit yesterday.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 5 enemy units attacked at Nanyang, but failed to achieve odds without a HQ, without planning, and in the face of fortifications in a major urban hex adequately defended. The presence of two tank divisions did not help them. At Chengchow, eight enemy units (up from 7 yesterday), supported by Army HQ did the trick - and the enemy successfully reduced fortifications at reasonable cost. This city is now evacuated except for a strong rear guard force (one HQ, one corps and one engineer unit, all planned for its defenese). 3 of the 14 units at Loyang are managed to rail out before the RR is cut (at Tungkwang). At Yenchang, 6 enemy units (reported as 64,000 men) began moving WEST - not toward Tungkwang - but toward open country which will lengthen the front significantly. We have already begun moving toward presently undefended Weinan, but it is open country, and the enemy First Army has never failed to capture any location - even in mountains or with fortifications - on the first or second assault. It is probable this unfortified open hex will be captured before we can defend it in force (or build forts).

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion was airlifted to Praboemoelih (South of Palembang and a good airfield) to take the heat off the South Sumatra Garrison Battalion and facilitate the destruction of two enemy airborne units badly disrupted at that location. [I love to destroy pesky airborne units - and they are so light it isn't hard to do]. It attacked today. But it was combat ineffective after numbers of enemy bomber attacks. Although the Allies rotated fighter units at Palembang, Buffalos were not very effective against experienced enemy pilots. Nevertheless, the exchange rate in the air was pretty good. As well, I proposed to move the Indian Army 48th Ghurka Brigade - already in strategic mode at Merak on the Sunda Strait - to Sumatra to rail in to insure a temporary ground superiority in the area so the Palembang Base Force can withdraw. [It is now unable to move because the enemy is on the RR] That movement was successfully completed, and the brigade will rail forward tomorrow - probably achieving operational surprise.

The enemy carrier force in the South Pacific, disappeared again. Problem - if it moves at cruising speed to the NW, it may intercept the major US task forces crossing from Hawaii to Canton Island (and then on to Melbourne). This requires careful evaluation for the next turn. I must do this based entirely on game display data rather than the actual position, course and speed of the undetected enemy force. No solution for this issue in sight, we have elected to continue the transit. No reports of enemy vessels in the entire Central and South Pacific areas. That would be more impressive if we had more 'eyes' out looking for them!

The Australian attempt to withdraw troops from the Port Moresby area decided to run in on the enemy amphib force landing at Kappa Kappa. That resulted in a number of naval battles. Unfortunately, the best Allied warship - a light cruiser - was under the command of an ENSIGN! with little ability. So it didn't lead the warship group. The Japanese did lose ships and aircraft - but not troops - at the cost of several Allied warships. The fast APs approaching Port Moresby now must run for their lives. All but one air unit evacuated PM today - in favor of Cairns.

The enemy captured Kuching today. A carrier force is spotted three hexes ENE of Kuching - it provided air support for the attack by the 33rd Division.
The enemy 15th Army advance force is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein). It may be resting. Other enemy units are moving forward along secondary roads behind it. One unit (a RTA Division) is reported at Ye.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 5 enemy units are moving to reinforce 5 already at Kukong - an increase from 9 to 10 total since yesterday. Ch'ao Ching on the Pearl River fell today.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive. The NRA 88th Corps - already defeated several times - was attacked again today. It is almost isolated on the ROC right flank and is retreating in poor order toward friendly lines.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, Chengchow fell today. 10 enemy units are reported in the city with 9 more moving in from the North. 11 enemy units are now reported at Nanyang, with one more moving in from the South. The NRA 4th Army Group, supporting the NRA 3rd Corps, moved into critical Weinan today. There will be a fight for this town (one hex East of Sian) after all. Numbers of units managed to rail out of Loyang and reach Tungkwang and other points NW of there, all the way to Baoji, at the end of the RR. It appears much of the several army groups in the Yellow River area will be able to contest the woods SE of Sian. If only the enemy was not driving on the city through open country from the East! [Little problems] The fight for Weinan may turn into a real mess.
Enemy bombardment attacks at Sinn Sien were not effective.

The enemy is no longer bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion. It may be lost in the woods. Also, unexpectedly, code is letting it escape into the USSR - so it may indeed escape! [Wether it can return to Japanese soil remains to be seen]

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion began at Praboemoelih (South of Palembang and a good airfield) began moving to defend Palembang. The South Sumatra Garrison Battalion and the Palembang Base Force began rail movement to Oosthaven at the Southern end of the island. They were relieved by the IA 48th Gurkha Brigade, which railed into Praboemoelih. It will attempt to clear the area of airborne units and secure Palembang pending organization of the RAF 225 Group at Palembang (in 3 days). Air units are recovering and shedding fatigue. The West Sumatra Regiment and the Padang Base Force loaded today at Padang (for movement to Java). British warships and transports reached Sabang to remove the North Sumatra Territory Regiment and the Medan Composite Regiment tomorrow. This operation is covered by HMS Hermes!
Three Allied task forces are 3 hexes NE of Canton Island. One has reinforcements and supplies for Canton. One has the 24th US Army Division for Australia. The other is the Allied Carrier Force. PBY's flown in to Canton detected an enemy task force (2 ships) at Howland Island. This is a peculiar location with NO economic support and NO port, but a 5,000 foot runway (built for Amelia Earhart's attempt to set a record). It may be supporting enemy operations in the Central Pacific. It is tentatively intended (pending command approval) to land the reinforcements at Canton, send the division to Australia unescorted, and to attack the ships at Howland Island.
Survivors of the actions off Kappa Kappa as well as the fast troop transports (and HMS Achilles - still commanded by an ensign Jones! - which did not participate in the actions all reached Port Moresby where they will attempt to evacuate troops tomorrow. Enemy ships are judged out of ammunition if not too damaged to continue to contest the area. [Only two are spotted at Kappa Kappa itself, along with a newly landed ground unit. No enemy forces are reported in the area, although B-17s, PBY's and Hudsons are searching from PM, Cairns and Townsville.]
Enemy 16th Army forces landed at Tarakan today. They are covered by an apparently carrier force (total 9 ships including transports, 37 fighters, 76 bombers).
ABDA surface forces set up 'ambush' positions at Donggala Celebes and along the SE coast of Borneo - to contest the Makassar Strait; 4 submarines also contest the narrows. A raid on Tarakan will be considered.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (3 units) is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein). It may be resting. 3 more are reported at Moumein.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 4 enemy units are moving to reinforce 6 already at Kukong. 2 enemy units at Ch'ao Ching are reported marching on Foshan on the Pearl River.

In East China, the enemy has once again opened the RR LOC, but the advance may have been halted in the woods - just as it has been hung up one hex from Changsha on the NE approaches since the start of the war. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive. The NRA 88th Corps, on the extreme right flank, is in full retreat.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 15 enemy units are at Chengchow and 9 more are at Nanyang. 5 more are in adjacent hexes and may be reinforcing. 7 enemy units on our left flank are at Yenchang, across the river from Tungkwang. Many units were able to rail out of Loyang, while many others are making good progress on the primary road between Nanyang and Sian. Most of our forces will be able to defend the Sian-Tungkwang area. Battered units are mostly going to Baoji to rebuild, assigned to the 14th Army Group.
Enemy bombardment attacks at Sinn Sien were not effective.

The enemy is no longer bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion. It may be lost in the woods. Also, unexpectedly, code is letting it escape into the USSR - so it may indeed escape! [Wether it can return to Japanese soil remains to be seen] This battalion - an RHS guerilla unit, can 'recruit' locally - is almost back to full strength!

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion began at Praboemoelih (South of Palembang and a good airfield) reachhed Palembang. An element that never did fly in reached Oosthaven by sea and will rail forward to join the main body. The South Sumatra Garrison Battalion and the Palembang Base Force reached Oosthaven at the Southern end of the island. The IA 48th Gurkha Brigade, is converting to tactical mode Praboemoelih. It will attempt to clear the area of airborne units and secure Palembang pending organization of the RAF 225 Group at Palembang (in 3 days). Air units are recovering and shedding fatigue. The West Sumatra Regiment and the Padang Base Force came under (ineffective) air attack while at sea, in transit to Java. British warships and transports also came under ineffective air attack at Sabang where they are loading the North Sumatra Territory Regiment and the Medan Composite Regiment tomorrow. This operation is covered by HMS Hermes! A small enemy air strike had one minor success attacking ships unloading at Oosthaven today. We are considering options for resumption of air operations.
One task group with has reinforcements and supplies for Canton came under effective enemy submarine attack today - all ships were badly damaged with some troop losses and none will survive. A success was detaching destroyer minelayers to mine the island: those mines sank the enemy submarine!
One task group with the 24th US Army Division for Australia seems to have escaped the area unnoticed.
The Allied Carrier Force is 3 hexes SE of Howland Island: the 2 ships reported in the area are not in sight. This is a peculiar location with NO economic support and NO port, but a 5,000 foot runway (built for Amelia Earhart's attempt to set a record). It may be supporting enemy operations in the Central Pacific. It is tentatively intended (pending command approval) to land the reinforcements at Canton, send the division to Australia unescorted, and to attack the ships at Howland Island. A suspected enemy carrier division was spotted 8 hexes SE of Canton Island by PBY's operating from there. Problem: not enough supplies were landed to sustain air operations or construction. Enough engineers to matter did manage to get ashore to the essentially decimated transport convoy - not one transport will survive (they continue to try to unload) - only 3 detached destroyer minelayers (sans mines now laid) remain.
An unexpected enemy force of four old 'heavy' cruisers (two are rearmed with 6 inch guns) and several destroyers raided Port Moresby while it was loading troops. Only three destroyers survive - one with 99 fires! [One other DD is in port, still burning from previous actions]. The Allies almost failed even to damage the enemy - except for a lucky S boat - which sank an enemy destroyer when they retired to Kappa Kappa.

13 enemy ships are still unloading at Tarakan. They are covered by TWO carrier task forces (a carrier force and an ASW group???) four hexes to the SE of Tarakan. This is a major carrier force, now estimated to have 78 fighters, 130 bombers and 11 auxiliary aircraft. ABDA surface forces at 'ambush' positions at Donggala Celebes elected NOT to engage today (a good thing, as the enemy carrier power turned out to be significant). They, and other ships and along the SE coast of Borneo, continue to wait for the right moment. 4 submarines also contest the narrows.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (4 units) is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein). It may be resting. 2 more are reported at Moumein.

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 4 enemy units are moving to reinforce 6 already at Kukong. 2 enemy units at Ch'ao Ching are reported marching on Foshan on the Pearl River.

In East China, the enemy attacked the 34th Army Group SE of Changsha. The defense held with moderate casualties. We continue to hold today. This is the heart of the Chinese defense - combine numbers of pioneers building fortifications with contesting major cities and forests to make attacking expensive. The NRA 88th Corps, on the extreme right flank, is in full retreat.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 18 enemy units are at Chengchow and 9 more are at Nanyang. 9 more are in adjacent hexes and may be reinforcing. Many units were able to rail out of Loyang, while many others are making good progress on the primary road between Nanyang and Sian. Most of our forces will be able to defend the Sian-Tungkwang area. Battered units are mostly going to Baoji to rebuild, assigned to the 14th Army Group. The 4th Army Group is digging in at Weinan to defend the left flank from the so far successful drive by the enemy First Army.
The NRA 77th Corps is moving to reinforce Sinn Sien because the terrain favors the defense and fortifications should reach level 3 today.

The enemy is no longer bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion. It may be lost in the woods. Also, unexpectedly, code is letting it escape into the USSR - so it may indeed escape! [Wether it can return to Japanese soil remains to be seen] This battalion - an RHS guerilla unit, can 'recruit' locally - is almost back to full strength!

The 225 Group arrived (two days early) at Palembang. It and the British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion, which also is Palembang, may now withdraw to Oosthaven. The route is covered by the IA 48th Gurkha Brigade at Praboemoelih. It suffered many air attacks today. Because of the difficulty of fighting far from air bases, and the limited number of fighter planes and pilots, the Brigade will convert back to strategic mode and withdraw, rather than hunting airborne as originally intended. We will fight for Oosthaven, however - as it is in fighter range of Batavia and a place we need to keep out of enemy hands. It is an air base, an advance repair port, and a point where ground troops can ferry to Merak. The West Sumatra Regiment and the Padang Base Force came under (ineffective) air attack while at sea, in transit to Java. The North Sumatra Territory Regiment and the Medan Composite Regiment came under air attack while in transit to Java. The Medan Composite Regiment has more elements ashore - so we will look for ships to send tomorrow to move it.

The task group with with reinforcements and supplies for Canton was sunk by enemy carrier air strikes today. A surprising series fighter vs air strike group battles occurred over Canton today - between the Allied Carrier Division (2 hexes South) and the IJN 2nd Carrier Division (4 hexes NE).

One task group with the 24th US Army Division for Australia seems to have escaped the area unnoticed.

4 enemy ships are still unloading NW of Kendari today - covered by 3 more one hex to the East. Most of the force that landed in the last two days is now out of sight. So is the force that landed at Tarakan. The ABDA main force is 3 hexes SW of Kendari, but it was spotted last night by a submarine. Spotted and with no targets in sight, it may withdraw tomorrow.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (4 units) is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein).

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 4 enemy units are moving to reinforce 6 already at Kukong. 2 enemy units at Ch'ao Ching are reported marching on Foshan on the Pearl River.

In East China, the enemy attacked the 34th Army Group SE of Changsha. It hurt two units badly, but the NRA 3rd Corps continues to hold the forest position.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 17 enemy units are at Chengchow and 9 more are at Nanyang. 5 more are in adjacent hexes and may be reinforcing. All planned units were able to rail out of Loyang: the 4 which remain are its rear guard, are planed to defend this location, and are rested. We withdrew faster than the enemy could exploit The 4th Army Group was forced to retreat from Weinan by a shock (river crossing) attack by the spectacularly successful IJA First Army.

The NRA 77th Corps arrived at Sinn Sien today.

The enemy resumed bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion in Northern Manchukuo.

The enemy carrier force near Canton Island disappeared today!

The 225 Group and the British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion, both Palembang, are now converting to strategic mode to withdraw to Oosthaven. The route is covered by the IA 48th Gurkha Brigade at Praboemoelih, which is also converting to strategic mode. We will fight for Oosthaven as it is in fighter range of Batavia and a place we need to keep out of enemy hands. It is an air base, an advance repair port, and a point where ground troops can ferry to Merak. The West Sumatra Regiment and the Padang Base Force came under (ineffective) air attack while at sea, in transit to Java.

No contact in the Eastern NEI today. The main ABDA force is withdrawing to Soerabaja after being detected yesterday off Makassar.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (6 units) is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein).

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as a determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 4 enemy units are moving to reinforce 6 already at Kukong. 2 enemy units at Ch'ao Ching are reported marching on Foshan on the Pearl River.

In East China, the enemy attacked the 3rd New Corps SE of Changsha. It was hurt badly. The enemy will now advance to meet the main line of defense at Tanshia Shan.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 12 enemy units invested Loyang today. Enemy air bombardment of Loyang began today. Loyang was isolated today. The rear guard will have to die in place. On the left flank, it was quiet as the enemy recovered from capturing Weinan and from lack of supply.

The enemy continued bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion in Northern Manchukuo.

Post by el cid again »



Allied Password WMHALSEY

The Allied carrier force reappeared 9 hexes NE of Howland Island today. The enemy is reported to have 24 fighters, 82 bombers and 12 auxiliary aircraft. During the day, reports indicated it may be joining a tanker group to refuel. That, combined with many weeks at sea, means it is not likely to sprint to escape. The Allied carriers have four full strength fighter squadrons and five DBD dive bomber squadrons. It is the assessment of Mifune that he has tactical superiority over an enemy group of two large CVs. The Allied Carrier Force will move to contact tomorrow - unless the enemy refuses battle. Numbers of supporting forces are entering the immediate area to reinforce Canton and fuel support the carriers.

The 225 Group and the British Army 2nd Loyal Battalion, as well as the IA 48th Gurkha Brigade reached Oosthaven today. We will fight for Oosthaven as it is in fighter range of Batavia and a place we need to keep out of enemy hands. It is an air base, an advance repair port, and a point where ground troops can ferry to Merak. The main ABDA surface force reached Soerabaja today. The Allies are preparing to fight for the approaches to Java - at Oosthaven and Bali - and possibly other points near them. Suminep Island is being defended. We intend to make this a battle of attrition, and to grind down the enemy air force to the point it cannot be effective.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (7 units, 20,000 men) is halted at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein).

Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as as determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 7 enemy units at Kukong. Foshan and Ch'in Pei were invested today.

In East China, the enemy attacked the 3rd New Corps SE of Changsha. It was hurt badly. The enemy will now advance to meet the main line of defense at Tanshia Shan.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 14 enemy attacked Loyang today, but failed to achieve odds or reduce fortifications.
The enemy continued bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion in Northern Manchukuo.

Allied Password WMHALSEY

The Allied carrier force is 2 hexes North of Howland Island. The enemy carriers are three hexes further North. It was learned during direct encounters between the two task groups that the enemy has 4 large carriers, 4 battleships, and many other ships in company. During the day, multiple air strikes were exchanged. Both USN and three IJN carriers were damaged. Two IJN battleships and several smaller warships were also sunk or damaged. Many fighters and dive bombers were lost on both sides. [USN has no torpedo bombers in this force. IJN torpedo bombers failed to fly, except on recon missions.] This was a much more even battle than expected, with about the same number of fighters and dive bombers engaged, while the torpedo bombers sat it out. USS Yorktown aircraft diverted to Canton Island and to USS Saratoga, making it impossible for her to conduct flight operations.

Mifune has ordered the Allied carriers to return to Pearl Harbor - diverting attention from the huge troop convoy
moving toward Australia. The carriers cannot move at the same speed - so they will split up. Saratoga will sprint
and likely escape the area without further damage.

The IA 48th Gurkha Brigade reached Kotabumi, one hex North of Oosthaven, today. It will be the front line where we will contest the enemy capture of Oosthaven under serious Allied fighter cover. The main ABDA surface force is restoring itself at Soerabaja. The Allies are preparing to fight for the approaches to Java - at Oosthaven and Bali - and possibly other points near them. Suminep Island is being defended. We intend to make this a battle of attrition, and to grind down the enemy air force to the point it cannot be effective.

The enemy 15th Army advance force (8 units, 21,620 men) is at Martiban (one hex North of Moulmein). It is moving to contact at Pegu.
Allied forces in South China are generally trying to form a strong defense in favorable terrain around the critical "corner" (where the RR and road LOC makes a 90 degree turn, the only good invasion route to Chunking) as well as as determined defense of Kukong (with a fall back position behind it). 7 enemy units at Kukong. Foshan and Ch'in Pei were captured today.

In East China, the enemy in moving to contact along the main RR and farther South, attacked the 88th Corps. It was hurt badly. At Wenchow, the 14th base force managed to escape into the rough country.

Farther North, in the Yellow River Plain area, 15 enemy are at Loyang today. Seven other units are insight, some of them moving to contact.
The enemy continued bombarding the 3rd NE Anti-Japanese Army Battalion in Northern Manchukuo.
