12th Dec 1943.
Southwest Pacific HQ:
35th and 475th FG(P-47) swept Samarinda. 10 P-47 lost for 27 N1K1-J and Ki-84a.
B-24 and F6F are continuing friendly visits over sky of Djambi.
South Pacific HQ:
B-25 continue bombing Rabaul (100dmg).
Heavy bombers from Kavieng raided Aitape level 4 AF (57dmg).
Paratroopers captured Buka. Now whole Salomon Islands Archipelago is in hand of Allies.
Central Pacific HQ: Truk landing operation.
As suspected it did not go to well. Firstly heavy cruisers and battleships failed silence Truk Naval Fortress guns. Area is infested with over 30 Japanese subs and hundreds mines. Landing forces manage clear path throu minefields and unload 90% of my forces but at very high cost. 6 DMS sunk, several battleships, cruisers, destroyers are damaged and are force to look for shipyard. I have 15 ARD and 5 AR ships in Kavieng, so most of ships can be fixed there. A few however will need sail back to PH or Sydney.
Carriers bombed Truk airfield (97dmg), B-24 were busy at Aitape today.
2 or 3 enemy subs were sunk today. Reports shows over 30 hit sub by 500lbs today, however sea around landing side is still red :(.
