I hope this isn't a scaled up example of the Sabang adventure.

There is a Jap unit at Benkolen so I evacuate the ar support troops and get all the pilots out and destroy 7 P-38 on purpose.

It's about 5 day round trip from Mindanao, 60 tons per load...1860/5..about 370 tons a day...not enough with the consumption due to the air and ground attacks. We have flown in a smallish Fillipino Army Div and now a brigade of Br 54 Div and are flying out from Bataan the first spent unit to have fewer mouths to feed.

Total supply at Clark and Bataan now down to 12,000 (not counting organic supply with the units)

I am guessing these IJ troops were dropped in - and managed to die by attrition in one day!

Do the funny legging somehow suck the life force from the paratroops? Inquiring minds want to know!!
