SITUATION REPORT: 12-31-41 CONTINUED


THEY WERE EXPENDABLE

The courageous Dutch PT Boat crews fulfilled their mission by protecting the Vildebeests stationed at Singkawang and going toe to toe with the massive IJN Bombardment TF with 5 BBs. 6 PT Boats were lost in the engagement but they managed to put a torpedo into DD Murakumo and inflict critical damage:

SITUATION REPORT: 1-1-42


DEI:

Not so happy New Years for the Allies. Singkawang falls and the Japanese go ashore at Menado.


CHINA:

Yenen holds out yet again and the Chinese kick the IJA out of Nanning in a counterattack.


MALAYA:

Kuantan and Taiping both repel IJA deliberate attacks. The Allied retreat on the Malay peninsula appears to be rather orderly so far.

SITUATION REPORT: 1-2-42


DEI:


Japanese capture Menado.

Allied bombers pound Japanese shipping off Borneo.


MALAYA:

Allies hold off deliberate attack at Kuantan. IJA overwhelms Allied defenders at Taiping. Both commanders of the 2 defending Indian Brigades at Taiping are relieved of duty for not retreating back towards their supply lines. Instead, they inexplicably retreat forward to Georgetown to cut themselves off. They had voluntarily withdrawn from Georgetown to Taiping several days ago. The former orderly withdrawal in Malaya seems to be disentegrating now due to bizarre individual unit actions.


BURMA:


12,000 Allied defenders 60 mi NE of Rangoon hold out and inflict heavy casualties on 48,000 IJA attackers.

SITUATION REPORT: 1-4-42


DEI:

After capturing Singkawang, Amboina and Menado things have quited down momentarily in the DEI. KB moved off to the east....probably to reload at Palau.


MALAYA:

The Japanese moved their armored regiment to Georgetown while leaving their Infantry Division in place in Taiping but the Allies moved one of the cut off Indian Brigades to Alor Star. Who is surrounding whom?


BURMA:


46,000 IJA attack 12,000 Allied troops 60 mi NE of Rangoon but are repulsed with heavy losses. All SEAC bombers in the theatre were thrown in to disrupt the attack.


ASW/SS WAR:

A bad day for the Allies as Japanese ASW TFs sink a sub and damage another. Japanese ASW aircraft damages another 3 subs. The Allies have had over 30 subs hit by ASW aircraft in less than a month.


CHINA:

The Japanese had been bombing Yenen with 50 unescorted bombers a day for some time so 5 P-40B and several Chinese fighter groups were staged into Yenen and placed on CAP. 19 Japanese bombers were shot down at a cost of 4 Chinese fighters destroyed on the ground. Altogether, the Japanes lost 29 AC today vs 4 Allied AC.

The Chinese have been holding out spectacularly in Yenen for some time against 160,000 IJA troops so the Japanese have changed their strategy. They are now going off road at Yenen and Changsha in an attempt to surround the Chinese fortifications. Yesterday, a Chinese Corps assaulted and pushed back an IJA armored formation attempting to outflank Changsha on the SW( Changsha is already outflanked by 100,000 troops on the NW) but China HQ is sure they will come back soon in greater numbers. Overall the situation is very fluid and very chaotic and I hope to print up a map for tomorrows situation report.

DEI/PI:

Japanese land at Puerto Princessa while B-17s score a hit on a DD.

CHINA:

2 Chinese Corps execute a shock attack 60 mi SW of Yenen and drive back the Japanese outflanking attempt.


In the largest air-air battle of the war, 80 American P-40Bs, British Hurricanes and Chinese fighters engage 70+ Japanese fighters and bombers over Changsha. 4 Tojos, 11 Nates and 21 bombers are destroyed at a cost of 13 Chinese fighters.

[racndoc]

SITUATION REPORT: 1-17-42


CHINA:

IJA and Chinese manuever to surround each other. "Mother of All Battles" to occur in about a week.


MALAYA:

Allies retreat to their final defensive positions in Johore Bharu and Singapore. The Allies have retreated in good order and Johore Bharu will prove extremely difficult for the IJA to capture. Singapore is not only more impregnable but is well supplied and could provide an airbase for future Allied OFFENSIVE operations.


JAVA/SUMATRA:

NO Japanese operations possible for sometime without direct support of KB. Modern Allied bombers and fighters are staging in from SWPAC on a daily basis.


DEI:

Swordfish from Tarakan put 3 torpedoes in CA Mogami off Brunei. Over 30 Martin 139s and 25 Swordfish and Beaufort V-IX escorted by 25 P-40Es are positioned to attack Japanese shipping at Brunei weather permitting. Almost 80 A6M2 on CAP at Singkawang prevent Allied attacks on shipping there.


PI:

Japanese capture Puerto Princessa and invade Taytay. 2 Squadrons of Beaufort V-IX are positioned to attack shipping there tomorrow. Japanese infiltrate Clark airfield and the US Army and Philippinos prepare for a desperate counterattack tomorrow.

[racndoc]

SITUATION REPORT: 1-18-42


CHINA:

Japanese reinforce their position 60 mi west of Changsha and now have over 100,000 troops attempting to cut the road and isolate the city.


DEI/PI:

Allied counterattack at Clark is repulsed with heavy losses as Japanese reinforce with almost 90,000 troops. The Allied are now outnumbered 97,000 to 45,000 there.

Japanese capture Taytay.

Allied bombers score hits on Japanese shipping off Brunei and Taytay. With over 25 Swordfish and Beauforts escorted by P-40Es set to strike IJN ships at Brunei only 3 Swordfish flew so damage was minimal.
