Your Dutch and British bomber pilots seem to have gained enough experience to get the hits on enemy ships.
BTW, Kashima and Kashii were training cruisers with virtually no armour and poor AA and gun armament. Nice to get rid of them, but the other IJ cruisers will not be so easy.
Especially with Dutch 15kg and 50kg bombs...

Some new players might not be familiar with fact that they can "buy back" aka recall many destroyed units (not all) by spending Political Points (PP).
This is the process how to do it. Note that one should be careful with some infantry units. Some nationalities have very low replacement rates (mainly British and some Australians too). Thus, recalling units that will draw lot of those sparse infantry squads might be counterproductive and hurt your units already present.
Indian units are great to recall, since they have plenty of infantry replacements. Also, lots of units consist of generic "squads": engineers, support, aviation/naval support etc. that are not nation-specific.
What I recall is (in this order of importance): HQs, Base Forces, Combat formations.

In the previous report I thought your Fortress Palembang strategy was working, but it had too many malus factors in the next Japanese attack. Too bad you couldn't get more supply there.
The AI may not be diligent in pursuing your ejected units - do you think you can extract some cadres of the best units before they are eliminated? FT TF or patrol planes?

I leave the Dutch there. Only things I have evacuated are unrestricted air units and most of useful ships.
IJAAF/IJNAF basically bombed Palembang troops to hell, (AF) so could not build forts. Didn't check yet how much damage was done to oil industry.
I don't want to reinforce certain areas too much, because I want AI to give a decent fight later. In this DaIronBabes Japan definitely came in with extra units.
I have broken AI with Fortress Java strategy previously...and it was not very interesting game after that, though satisfactory for a while.
