1/6 ~ 2/6/42: TT ravaged at Cox's bazaar. Not able to go up against his considerable airforce, is leaving me very open to ship attack ... especially as my only open airfield nearby is Akyab, and that is level 3, so I can only stack 170 planes there ... Chittagong, is getting a Special Base force soon, but the airfield is obliterated anyway. Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 17 <--- what a waste, if I fly LRCap, I should have 100 + planes in the future ! Allied aircraft Swordfish x 25 Kittyhawk IA x 23 Wellington III x 79 Beaufort I x 24 Beaufort V-IX x 22 Curtis H81-3A x 35 P-38E/F Lightning x 54 B-17E Fortress x 8 LB-30 Liberator x 23 Hurricane IIb x 71 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 20 destroyed Allied aircraft losses Kittyhawk IA: 2 destroyed, 2 damaged Curtis H81-3A: 3 destroyed, 3 damaged P-38E/F Lightning: 6 damaged Hurricane IIb: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged Japanese Ships AP Tazan Maru, Bomb hits 4, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AP Tenzan Maru, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage AP Yoshinogawa Maru, Bomb hits 5, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage MSW Wa 19 AP Taganoura Maru, Bomb hits 4, on fire, heavy damage AP Teiryu Maru, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Tamashima Maru, Bomb hits 4, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage MSW Shintohoku Maru, Bomb hits 4, on fire, heavy damage AP Ueizuru Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AP Tatuharu Maru, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Toyo Maru #2, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Taiho Maru, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AP Tsuiba Maru, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage MSW W.2, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage MSW Misago Maru #11, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage MSW Wa 2 Philippines: Shock attacked at Manila and finally got 1-1, but took heavy losses (5000+ casualties), will have to decide whether to withdraw some troops again, to reinforce ... but those US forces must be on their last legs surely ? I've been there since the first month ... India: Lastly, on the road to Dacca, came up against 3 tank regiments, 4-1 shock attack ensued and they scurried back to Dacca.
