It has turned out that the city is rather more heavily garrisoned than previously believed by Intelligence, but our troops, many of them combat-hardened veterans from the Phillipines campaign, shall prevail over the Chinese forces.

Elsewhere, Ormoc was seized by Navy Rikusentai after yesterday's landing.

On the submarine front, Royal Navy submarine L-1 continues to make a nuisance of herself in the waters around Bataan, and aircraft were used for ASW for the first time, when a Navy flying boat attacked a US submarine at Wake.

With these subs hit and the others sunk, does it mean the ASW effectiveness is greatly improving weeks after weeks of fight, or is it rather the result of some new tactics, or a new patch?

Anyway enjoying much, keep up the good work

It's a combination of luck, and increased experience.

Royal Navy cruiser Dartmouth, US Navy cruiser Salem, and Chinese destroyer Yu Chang were all torpedoed, the British cruiser subsequently sinking about 60 miles east of Singapore. Additionally, the American destroyer Sinclair sank southeast of Midway.

Southeast of Canton, the Chinese cruiser squadron attempted to intercept a transport task force going to the city and failed utterly.

Status: offline 		Small naval skirmish off Canton tonight saw the final destruction of the Chinese fleet, as two Chinese cruisers and a destroyer stumbled over my main battle squadron stationed there. The resulting battle was swift, noisy and rather one-sided. Glad to finally see the last of those ships!




BTW, don't be fooled by the smoke rising from my battle line. That's the result of last turn's duelling with the local coastal defences.

Here's the situation map of the Phillipines, as of today:

Status: offline 		Imperial destroyer Kisaragi and transport Kaimyo Maru sank today, returning from the highly successful raid on Canton. It can now be revealed that the intention of that attack was to draw out Allied naval forces to be destroyed, and as was seen, it succeeded.

(PS: the above sentence is slightly revisionistic, but consider it Japanese propaganda. Obviously, the sack of meat behind this computer committed a bit of an error when it landed at Canton).

However, the engagement has cemented relationships between British and Chinese forces who are satisfied that any further invasion attempts will be dealt with swiftly and without mercy.

The innovative CV Argus is sweeping the general area.

At Davao, a Navy ASW group is hunting US submarine S-17, so far without result.

Status: offline 		A large naval action took place off Hong Kong this afternoon. The enemy had deployed a US-UK-French task force several days ago, presumably to intercept my transport forces for the Canton incident. Over the past couple of days, Imperial submarines had provided intelligence that this force had unwisely chosen to linger in place, very close to our main fleet bases on Formosa.

Today, this arrogance was punished, when an Imperial Navy battleforce, led by four battleships, attacked the enemy. A very long engagement followed, only cut short by the onset of night and the withdrawal of the opposing force.

As can be seen from the accompanying screenshot, only the American cruiser Albany was sunk outright, although most of the other enemy vessels, including the ancient monitor Monadnock and cruisers Huron, New Orleans and Rochester, were severely damaged. Our own forces escaped largely unscathed.

STATEMENT ISSUED BY EMERGENCY WAR CABINET OF GREAT BRITAIN & NORTHERN IRELAND

Today, the emergency war cabinet of Great Britain has authorised the following deployment: A large Task force of Battleships and Battle Crusiers protected by numerous Destroyers has set sail from CENSORED. They are expected to arrive in the Pacific Theatre of Operations within the month whereupon revenge for the barbaric attack on ships at Hong Kong will be exacted. Gods Speed.

Status: offline 		Mostly submarine action today. US submarine S-17 was hit at least 3 times at Davao, although no sinking could be confirmed. Unfortunately, Imperial submarine No. 40 was less lucky in the hunting grounds off Singapore, and succumbed to a barrage of depth charge. That's the third submarine confirmed sunk (for both sides) since the beginning of the war.

Elsewhere, in a reaction to yesterday's statement from the British War Cabinet, the press spokesman for the Imperial General Staff today said, "Baka Gaijin should stop whining! This is war!".
