October 26th 1942 Air Losses: 5 Japanese, 6 Allied, 1 Pilots Japanese occupy: Allies occupy: Japanese land at: Allies land at: Pacific I-123 takes damage near Tulagi, 29/50/3, and will retire for repairs. Catalinas again attack Rossel Island TF at night for no result. Lots of Betties and Mavis lost to CAP over Tulagi area. Reports of many task forces there, including consistent reports of CV present but no aircraft on them. Don't understand this. Burma Quiet China Mixed results from attacks. At Chungking fail to destroy forts but get close to a 1::1 result. Will take a few weeks to get enough divisions back in a combat ready stance. Unfortunately, resurrected Chinese will add to the defense. quote:
Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 172722 troops, 1854 guns, 801 vehicles, Assault Value = 5141 Defending force 199300 troops, 694 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2959 Japanese adjusted assault: 1205 Allied adjusted defense: 1419 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 6) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), forts(+), leaders(+), experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 21067 casualties reported Squads: 43 destroyed, 1102 disabled Non Combat: 80 destroyed, 185 disabled Engineers: 104 destroyed, 169 disabled Guns lost 182 (18 destroyed, 164 disabled) Vehicles lost 95 (18 destroyed, 77 disabled) Allied ground losses: 22228 casualties reported Squads: 407 destroyed, 678 disabled Non Combat: 407 destroyed, 327 disabled Engineers: 25 destroyed, 61 disabled Guns lost 171 (31 destroyed, 140 disabled) Units destroyed 7 At Tsuyung good attack and will attack again soon. quote:
Ground combat at Tsuyung (68,46) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 19044 troops, 379 guns, 470 vehicles, Assault Value = 589 Defending force 16354 troops, 117 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 360 Japanese adjusted assault: 538 Allied adjusted defense: 613 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 0) Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), preparation(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 43 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 7 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 12 (1 destroyed, 11 disabled) Allied ground losses: 492 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 80 disabled Non Combat: 3 destroyed, 23 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Guns lost 9 (1 destroyed, 8 disabled) On the road from Chengtu to Tsuyung the armour does really badly; quote:
Ground combat at 70,45 (near Kunming) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 7515 troops, 113 guns, 578 vehicles, Assault Value = 402 Defending force 14852 troops, 120 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 573 Japanese adjusted assault: 187 Allied adjusted defense: 3241 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 17 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), leaders(+) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 236 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 28 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 24 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 57 (2 destroyed, 55 disabled) Allied ground losses: 175 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 25 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Assaulting units: 8th Tank Regiment 12th Tank Regiment 2nd Tank Division Defending units: 61st Chinese Corps This could be bad and allow a mass of Chinese to cross the road and head for India. Australia Heavy strikes at Darwin including some minor targeting of ground units. 2 B-24D and a B-17F are downed by flak. Engineering Chengtu to 5, Allies expand Lunga to 7. R&D B6N2 3/43, Ki-43-IIIa 3/44, Ki-43-IV 7/44.
