Situation Report
The invasion of Java is moving ahead smoothly - the defenders at Soerabaja are still holding out, but I'm in no hurry.
On the northern end of the island, a mixed regiment landed and captured Merak. I will try to cut of troops retreating north
towards Batavia.
2 damaged dd's, one PG and one AP were hit by Do-24 flying boats. The destroyers were damaged in the latest bombardment runs.
It was rather foolish to include dd's in the bombardments as these always takes a lot of hits. A hard learned lesson - will designate them as
escorts next time.
I've also lost 3 ac to op losses - and this annoys me. I should have known better than to move my Daitais when it rained, but I was in a hurry and
wanted to move them. This is the kind of sloppiness that can cost me the war: Japanese resources are scarce, and expect from situations that requires it,
ac should not be moved unless weather is clear or cloudy at worst! Patience is a virtue I keep telling myself....
The AV showed up in strength over Rangoon today, no doubt to protect the supply convoy that moved in during the squalls last night. They surely gave me
a bloody nose, guess the evil kanivel Kiwi enjoyed that one  9 Sallys and 3 Zeros were destroyed in the attack - but at least both transports were left as
burning hulks. (The AK Eidsvold is most likely a norwegian ship - Eidsvold is the name of the place were the constitution was written in 1814.)
Tomorrow renewed AF attacks against Rangoon will resume. More Zeros have been moved north, it would be a good thing to reduce the group before moving north.
In a few days 2 divisions will move from Bangok and head towards Rangoon. 2 para regiments will also be readied and move north.
In Singapore the Zuiho has alredy repaired 2 damage points in just 3-4 days, so I think it should be possible to get her ready for the forthcoming operation.
(Have to come up with a cunning name for that show...hm, what about Operation Hangover!  )
In the Coral Sea I failed to find the retreating Allied warships, but I did come over some sitting ducks! 5 transports were hit and 4 of them are already sinking.
It seems like Op. Paranoia really has potential! The transports heading for Canton Island are still some distance from their target but Car Div 3 will soon try to slip undetected through the gap between Canton and Palmyra Islands. From there they will lunge at the easternmost supply lines that should be full of convoys shuttling between the States and Oz/NZ.
