RE: Belce vs Falcon, Reports from the Front
Well after 12 days the Japanese are still just over the Malay border and on the beaches of the Phillipines, the Yellow Storm is just a summer drizzle it seems. ASW operations are reported ahead of schedule and although our ship sinking reports are small I am certain that many Japanese ships are in port badly damaged from many successful submarine attacks. Carriers successfully drove away Japanese ships during the invasion of Tarawa before landing operations could complete and then proceeded to punish the abandoned Japanese garrison. The carriers continue to look for targets of oppurtunity and a suitable base of operations to continue the attack on Japan or to cripple its naval actions with fear of swift retribution and attack.
The Royal Navy reports that all major naval assets have merged and are now ready to commence operations against the Japanese, if he should come into the Bay of Bengal. Strong landbased air assets stand ready to assist. Strong formations of land units continue to build at the Burma border and planning for eventual counter operations against disorganised, unsupplied Japanese troops are already underway.
The current stalemate in the Phillipines has emboldened local commanders to consider limited counterattacks to further disrupt the enemy's hoped for advances. General Jose Soliven of the Philopino Army was quoted as saying, "We fight for our homes and our nation, we are fortunate to have our American friends here to help with this invasion, but I think you will see that Japan has bitten off more than it can chew here. Go hard or go home and we are already home."
If you pull the tiger's tail, you should be ready for the tiger's claws.

Further progress in the Philippine islands, Lt. General Yamada’s 48th Division drove defenders from Tuguegareo. The Philippinos where forced into the jungle as Tanks had captured the mountain roads above them. The island base of Guiuan was also occupied.
Navy troops remain pinned on the beaches at Rabaul. All out attacks and constant naval bombardment could not budge the defenders. A tour of the landing was described as “grim”.
The Battleships Hyuga and Ise shelled the airbase at Mendano. They were pleased to find American B-17 bombers in the hangers there. The navy has claimed a knock out blow on this Dutch outpost.
Repeated Air attacks on a Dutch taskforce heading for the port at Balikpapan came up empty. In spite of multiple raids launched from four different airbases the attacking panes could not claim more than 2 hits and reported no serious damage.

The light cruisers Isuzu and Jintsu bombarded the airbase at Singkawang in the middle of the night. The attack appears to have caught several Dutch airplanes out of their protective dugouts. Planes from the base had been harassing Kuching supply convoys.
Forces exchanged artillery bombardments at Naga. IJA forces rested after the heavy fighting of the last two days.
Rabaul was subjected to air and naval bombardments again today. Supplies and support troops were landed under the cover of the attacks. IJN troops also landed at the base of Lae in New Guinea late in the day.
Elements of the 5th Division probed defenses at Taiping in Malaysia. Resistance to the attacks was weak.

It isn't that kind of mess. No one's contesting the will, no lawyers arguing legal cites or anything like that. My father just ... left a financial mess behind to go with the literal one. I don't want to clog up your AAR with details. Besides, I think I whined and bitched about it in my own AAR enough. You should be able to find the details in there if you're curious.

Presents for the Emperor.
Lt. General Matsui’s 5th Division simultaneously stormed the bases at Taiping and Georgetown. The coordinated attack bagged over 10,000 Indian prisoners. “This is my present to the Emporer” claimed Lt. General Matsui.
The scourge of Malaysia Cpt. Frelinghuysen, A.K.A. the Floating Dutchman, of SS KXVII was caught and sunk west of Khota Bharu. A routine supply convoy he attacked proved to be his undoing. Moral at the port of Saigon is at an all time high as the Dutchman had claimed many ships in the area.
Army air units operating in Malaysia claim to have sunk three cargo ships. The ships were running the Malacca Straits on their way to India.
The elite 65th Brigade lead by General Akashi captured the base at Cagayan. Over a dozen of the American “B-17” planes were captured at the base. Engineers examining the airplane believe it to be to heavy and complicated to be an operational threat.
Forces exchanged artillery bombardments again at Naga. Fighting has been light in the Philippines as units reposition for further fighting. This has all the atmosphere of the calm before the storm.
The landing at Rabaul remains pinned on the beaches. Commanders of the operation are digging in while the men recover under the cover of naval bombardment from light cruisers operating in the Solomons. The Southeast fleet also occupied the base at Lae.
