ON REPORTS FOR Sep 08, 45 Three major things happened today. The most important was an invasion of Fukue-jima. Second most important was the carpet bombing of Fusan by numerous 1E and 4E’s. Third was the Fukue-Jima Flattening of all IJ airgroups sent against the fleet. Fukue-jima was invaded by 2 divisions of US soldiers. Support troops land next turn. It was bombarded by 2 (4) BB surface fleets and hit with half of my CVE attack planes. I have chosen Fukue-jima as it’s a 2(2) port and 2(4) unsinkable airfield. My ownership of Fukue-jima effectively denies the rest of the Osumi isle’s S/SE of Kyushu to Japan. I figure I have 2 more days to take the base before most of the fleet needs to depart. Fusan: I had a dl of 8/12-9/13 and spotted 150+ ships in harbor. Recon of the airfield showed 160 bombers. I decided to carpet bomb the airfield/port and see what happened. This attack was to be my “heavy industry” attack for the day. For my CV and CVL’s, I had set all their DB/TB groups to range 2 attack, which was at least 2 hexes away from Fusan. Well, the airgroup commanders didn’t obey, and decided to attack multiple tf’s in the Fusan hex. Good for me that I had about 6 groups of fighters dedicated 100% to escort. Needless to say, Fusan’s port attack was a massacre. Fukue-jima Flattening: Cruft sortied his airforce as well as he could have. Planes came in really low, really high, and at all altitudes in between. He had the right fighters on CAP, the right fighters escorting, the right kamikaze’s flying at most efficient attack for their airframes. None of that mattered. I ran about 70% Cap on all my airgroups not on escort with ranges set to defend all other airfleets. As a result, nearly every Cruft attack on every major fleet was met by a full cap contigent. There was no “breaking down the cap in 6 rouds”. Tactic wise – splitting my CV’s up into multiple forces in adjacent, interlocking hexes, paid off big time! The closest he got to hitting anything was a night air attack by 12 TB against the Antietam and Bon Homme Richard. Heavy Industry: 550 B29’s hit Fukuoka and do 15 HI hits. Fast Raider fleets: These guys were all ordered to hexes in between Fukue-jima and major Japanese ports. Their goal was to intercept any “op soaking pt attacks” by Japan. They all did their job. About 6-8 Fast Raider fleets were operating in the vicinity, they intercepted everything and had a field day. I destroyed 15 SS/SSx, 9-10 DD, 7ML, 4LB and a PB. DD Marshall took 11 hits, CA Minneapolis took a mine. In the invasion, the AKA Tolland took a mine, as did 2 other DD’s. All in all, my msw’s did a good job of sweeping, and I’m happy with just those losses. Vigan in the PI is hit with all 1E and 2E’s stationed in the Philippines. Then I shock attack with 2k AV against the remnants of the Jap forces. Lastly, in perhaps the 3rd/4th last combat of the day – a midget sub parked two torps into the CV Antietem. I’m not all that upset. It’s a very light price to pay for the havoc wrought, and a nice pick-me-up to Cruft after they days events. The Anty will be ok -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formosa: I sweep Formosa with Hellcats, P38’s, and Corsairs based in the PI and wipe out most of the enemy encountered. P51H and P47N sweep Fukuoka (encounter (11) Karyu’s!), P51’s, P38’s, and Hellcats Nagasaki (encounter (9) Shindens), P51D’s sweep Chiba (1 hex SE of Tokya – just to keep Cruft honest). Here’s the relevant CR’s. Just notice how few Japanese aircraft actually break through CAP and attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Fukue-jima at 101,58 Weather in hex: Moderate rain Raid detected at 120 NM, estimated altitude 17,000 feet.

I’ve moved a number of CV’s to cover the Kuriles. I would like to take a couple of bases up here and place some search planes. The only fear I had of the KB wsa it getting behind my lines and hitting unguarded invasion fleets. So I sent about 8 CV’s and 16 CVE’s from Pearl on a sweep north, to cover up the KB and bottle it up inside the Kurlies. I flashed a pair of CV’s yesterday, and the KB came out to play. End results were nothing great, I put 3 bombs into the Junyo, that was only damage on either side. Then came Fusan. 5 232 B29’s do the following: Airbase hits 6 Airbase supply hits 2 Runway hits 32 Japanese Ships TK Gosyu Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage TK Baiei Maru, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage E No.16, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage E No.60, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Omu Maru, Bomb hits 2 TK Daito Maru #3, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Kaizyo Maru, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires TK Syoyo Maru, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires TK Kenjo Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Teikon Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire SC CHa-9, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk TK Yamamizu Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire E No.22, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage xAK Sangetsu Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Tachibana Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire PB Karimo Maru, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk E No.32, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Ichiyo Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire TK Yamanami Maru #3, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires TK Shimotsu Maru, Bomb hits 1 TK Kisei Maru, Bomb hits 1 xAK Eiko Maru #2, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage E No.61, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Seishin Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire TK Bokuei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Yubu Maru, Bomb hits 1 TK San Diego Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Daiha Maru, Bomb hits 1 TK Toyokawa Maru, Bomb hits 1 TK Yabiko Maru, Bomb hits 1 SC CHa-12, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk TK Kaisoku Maru, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage TK Yosei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Enkei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Saitsu Maru, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires xAK Hiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Dairetsu Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Manju Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire SC CHa-57, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk SC CHa-50, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk TK Tamon Maru #15, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Okigawa Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Hosei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Hoei Maru, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires PB Kiko Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage TK Eikyu Maru, Bomb hits 1 E No.70, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage TK Awakawa Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Sarawak Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire PB Bokuyo Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires TK Mishima Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires xAK Kensin Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Toyohi Maru #2, Bomb hits 1 TK Enoshima Maru, Bomb hits 1 TK Shintai Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire SC CHa-43, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk TK Kaisei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire ACM Higashiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires Nearly every one of those hits resulted in “Fuel Store Explosion”.
