Today a group of Wellingtons decided to mount an attack on his Task forces in the Bay of Bengal. They picked, of course the Nagato TF, and attacked the Nagato, however, since they did not hit anything, it didn't make a difference![8|]

[kaleun]

Only important action today was a dutch sub hitting a TK off Brunei.

[kaleun]

A Japanese surface? fleet is seen approaching Andaman. What their intentions are, is up to speculation. Meanwhile the japanese launch a major gound attack on Lanchow and suffer huge losses. Kendari airfield is again attacked by b17s which suffer greatly from the Zeroes. Port Moresby is hit again. Aside from that, the Pacific is (relatively) calm

. 9/17/45 A Japanese surface TF featuring the usual Nagato bombarded Andaman. This TF, had been spotted 1 day prior and, since the CVs were still in Rangoon, a BB TF led by BB Valiant was dispatched to intercept. . Nagato was escorted by the heavy cruisers Mikuma, Chokai, Maya and Mioko, plus an assortment of light cruisers and destroyers. The allied TF comprised the old BB Valiant, heavy cruisers Devonshire, Cornwall and the light cruisers Danae and Dauntless and the AA CLs Capetown Ceres Caledon and Van Hemskerk, with three destroyers. The enemy however surprised and outgunned the allied force, and BB Valiant and CA Cornwall were sunk. Despite a gallant defense the allied force had to withdraw. The enemy however did receive some damage, and it is hoped this will slow down its operations in the Bay of Bengal. Enemy carriers are spotted S of Andaman, but fail to attack Andaman due to weather.

9/21
A lot of Japanese submarine action in the Marshalls. Maybe this is a prelude to a Japanese attack.
One of our subs, Salmon torpedoes a tanker.
Otherwise more of the same.

[kaleun]

ANd the sub in DEI

[kaleun]

Much of the same in Akyab; the obligatory daily raid. In New Guine, he decided to attack Buna instead of PM. Losses are reported as 8 p39s versus 8 of his zeroes and Tojos.

[kaleun]

In the Marshalls, the allies will attempt to march the next invadin army on the enemy subs!
