July 21st 1943 Air Losses: 3 Japanese, 5 Allied, 3 Pilots Japanese occupy: Allies occupy: Japanese land at: Allies land at: Tjiltjap Subs E Fukue is lost to a sub near the home isles. SS Scamp is badly damaged near Balikpapan. DEI At no time have the naval aviators reported any amphibious assault forces. Then the Allies land on Java. Heavy bombardments and in the bombardment we see he has landed: quote:
Ground combat at Tjilatjap (51,102) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 2132 troops, 12 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 78 Defending force 45222 troops, 815 guns, 871 vehicles, Assault Value = 1419 Japanese ground losses: 105 casualties reported Squads: 2 destroyed, 9 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Allied ground losses: 40 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 85th Naval Guard Unit 30th Engineer Regiment 3rd Indpt SNLF Coy Defending units: 766th Tank Battalion 24th Infantry Division 7th Infantry Division 25th Infantry Division 767th Tank Battalion 226th Field Artillery Battalion 181st Field Artillery Battalion Sixth US Army 249th Field Artillery Battalion 183rd Field Artillery Battalion 208th Coast AA Regiment 260th Coast AA Regiment So that is three divisions landed in one day by surprise. I think the problem is that I had too much naval search so they spotted all the BB in the assault task force and didn't see any of the interesting ships because of the 10 ship reporting limit. A few D4Y4 try night strikes on carriers and a few are lost to flak but no hits scored. Solomons etc. Quiet Engineering Quiet. Production A6M5d-S to 4/44 N1K2-J to 4/44 Reinforcements Quiet
