More of the same today - with a twist, this time Allied Dive bombers dished out some pain to Japanese warships off Amboina. Pilots claimed three 1000 lbr hits on a Jap DD, intelligence officers are skeptical since there was no sinking report.
In the Philippines, a Japanese Naval Landing Force landed and took the base of Roxas in the Central Philippines. Meanwhile the stalemate on Luzon continues.

A relatively quiet day across the Pacific, the usual aerial bombardments - but the Chinese Air Force chocked up another kill over Yenen I-153c pilots downed a Sonia without loss to themselves.
The real news of the day came from the hills North of Clrak/San Fernendo (hex 44-50) where the Japanese 48th DIV, 56th DIV, 65th BDE, 8th Tank RGT, 6th Tank RGT, and several HVY ARTY units Shock Attacked Filipino troops. The Japanese were once again thrown back as the Filipinos held on...USAFFE are still somewhat secure.
Where are the reinforcements promised from Washington?

A slower day across the Pacific, the big news was a major Japanese push (deliberate attack) in the hills north of Clark - this sent Filipino troops scurrying south once again...we'll see what develops.
In an air battle over Batavia, 22 Zeros escorting 17 G3M Nells bounced the Dutch & Australian CAP of Buffalos. The 22 Zeros first bounced the Dutch squadron of 11 Buffalos, and in a twisting turning dogfight downed 3 Dutch Buffalos without loss -the Dutch then breaking contact. Immediately after, the 22 Zeros bounced 9 RAAF Buffalos and accounting for three more Buffalos, while the Australians downed a Zero and damaged another. Then the Australian pilots tore into the Nells and damaged two of them.
Had the Buffalos been in one squadron, the combat would have turned out differently...

Manila has been declared an Open City, and has been evacuated (execpt, of course, for Corrigadore). The USAFFE has gathered at Clark/San Fernando, and Bataan preparing for a long stand.
Elsewhere across the Pacific it has been low intensity warfare today - except for a Japanese landing at Muntok on Sumatra.
At Paotow, Chinese Communist units attacked two interloping Japanese brigades and sent them off back down the road...

ABDA here:
Except for nuisance air raids on some of our bases, we are strengthening our position. Supplies are still critical, but we are shifting our resources around and making every place we plan on making a stand effective. We are looking forward to the day the Japs mistakenly think they can assault our defensive line.
Morale and confidence are very high.
ABDA out.

ABDA here:
Everything is falling into place. Units have moved into position and we are finally set to await the Japanese assault. Can't say to much without revealing our strengths and weaknesses...but I don't think we have any weaknesses. Port Moresby sent some recon aircraft over Rabaul, and look how our neighbors responded. Bad neighbors. Oh, well...they will be evicted soon. Once the action starts in the DEI and the Solomons we'll give more details.
ABDA out.

31 JAN 42
No air combat at all today..
The Japanese have gone through the formality of occupying a deserted Palembang and Tarakan... but the real show is in Luzon at Clark Field/ San Fernando.
There the Japs are preparing for the climax of their Philippine campaign. The USAFFE will do their best to make them wait a while longer for the finale.
