Gili Gili had it's airfield lightly damaged and there were negligible personnel losses. The South Seas Det. was hit for heavy casualties by Allied aircraft. The IJA 21st Division was jumped by planes who missed the mark.
Near Toyohara the IJA Karafuto Mixed Brigade was attacked by Allied planes twice and the unit absorbed moderate casualties. Allied artillery caused moderate Japanese troop losses.
Near Lamon Bay the IJA 32nd Ind. Mixed Brigade was bombed 3 times and had very heavy losses. The IJA 105th Division had heavy casualties from 3 air attacks. The IJA 61st Ind. Mixed Brigade was jumped twice and took heavy losses from the marauding Allied planes. The Allied forces attacked the Japanese and squeezed them into a smaller area. Both sides took extremely heavy casualties.
23 miles W of the crossroads the 16th Chinese Corps was hit by 24 X Judy and 3 X Tony for moderate losses.

The SS Clamagore, 92 miles NW of Kuching, hit an AE with 2 torpedoes that caused heavy damage and fires to erupt.
With the spotting of the IJN BB lurking in the Kurile area the USN is scrambling to put together a fleet to try and catch it. The biggest problem is recalling the ships already at sea so that they can refuel. Subs have been dispatched to try and intercept the IJN ships if they attempt to return to port.
Jay noticed a reflection of himself and he was shocked to see what he looked like. All of the guys look like they are off somewhere a million miles away and are so tired. He never considered that he would look like that too. Today his company pushed forward once again and again they ran into heavy small arms fire. They took some casualties and they actually captured a wounded Japanese soldier. The Jap was in pretty bad shape or he would've managed to kill himself rather than be taken. Jay thinks that it's funny that in order to survive you have to get wounded. He's convinced that everybody will be dead or sent home with wounds.
Stick is bored to death and the only thing keeping him going is his love of flying and the CAPs that he gets to fly.
The Lucky 11 have discussed the situation and they all agree that despite the Army Air Corps being run by a pack of incompetent fools they have a job to do in this war and they'll do it. They're not happy with the way things are, but they have a grim determination to carry on despite lousy circumstances so that they can go home.
Sam still can't get anything out of anybody and his outfit remains on Tori Shima.
