After heavy shelling by two battleship task forces, and carrier air strikes,
and the landing of a brigade of reinforcements, Samoa fell today. The heavy
battleship force which struck Merauke (New Guinea East of Darwin) yesterday
is now visible three hexes NE of Darwin itself - presumably it will be shelled
tomorrow.

Secret except to Allied Team Members, a plan was hatched to send a major carrier task force from Hawiian Waters to the SRA via a route crossing the Philippine Sea between Saipan and Truk. Yesterday, a tanker sent to top off the tanks of that task force ran into two unescorted convoys NW of Truk. Today, that tanker, and a destroyer sent by the TF to escort her, attempted to evade detection assuming
an air search cone based on Truk was hunting her. Moving SW, it ran into the search pattern of a single, major enemy carrier. [Only four Japanese ships carrier squadrons of 27 Kates - Akagi, Kaga, Shokaku and Zuikaku: it must be one of them.]
The IJN carrier then launched against the AO and her escort. But the Allied carrier TF itself, somewhat farther North, was able to proceed undetected. Now it is in a position from which it can either complete the transit to NEI or from which it can engage a single enemy CV with high confidence of its course - as it surely will be hunting the AO it failed to sink today. Stay tuned to see what happens next.

The Allies attempted to evade detection rather than engage the lone IJN carrier
West of Truk - and succeeded two days in a row - sailing Northwest into the Philippine Sea above probable enemy search fans seeking a tanker. The tanker and her escort also elected to take an unexpected course and reached the Admiralty Islands unmolested - in spite of being hunted by the enemy carrier and land based planes from Truk and Rabaul - and possibly Palau and Saipan. Otherwise, it was pretty quiet. 25th Army is assembling for the assault on Singapore. 14th Army is waiting for reinforcements to walk in to Bataan for the final battle. 16th Army is in transit to wherever it is going next. 15th Army is moving on Rangoon in force with two reinforced divisions and Army HQ.

There is no file 003 (destroyed accidentally). 001 and 008 are for 16 January.


The Allied password is Nimitz
001 is the Allied replay
003 is the Allied turn before combat
008 is the Allied situation after combat

The cat an mouse game in the Pacific continues. The carrier TF - which never
did top of from the tanker sent to meet it - made it to a point NW of Palau. The tanker, plus a destroyer detached from the carriers, went in a completely different direction for three days - wildly changing course to throw off persuit, has reached a point NE of Kavieng and Rabaul. Neither group has been attacked, but the tanker has been spotted and tracked every day. Otherwise it was an unusually quiet day - 5 aircraft lost on each side - 1 to flak and 4 operational. The IJA finally secured its right flank in China today - capturing the last town on the Upper Yellow River on the edge of the desert. A unique NRA (the real initials of the ROC) walked into Mandalay today - for an attack on the Japanese airhead there. This is the former 200th Tank Division, now 200th Motorized division as it lost its few remaining tanks to higher HQ. It still has a battalion of BA-7 armored cars, and its infantry is fully motorized. It is the only RHS unit in the NRA able to move at armor speed. JAAF airborne (it is part of the air force, not the army) is very light in terms of heavy weapons - and the "airborne force" is not very large to begin with. This may be the only occasion on which the Allies win any battle in Burma during the early 1942 campaign.
