Would have caught me at an awkward moment. The 2 carrier divisions are only a few hexes apart and will be joined tommorrow. I will take up a protective position not too far from the convoy that's moving slowly west. Hopefully the worst crisis will soon be put behind us, and then we can concentrate on punishing instead of getting punished again Wobbly also wanted to bombard me and sent in a small tf that hit Victoria Point. Risky, since I got a lot of eyes and long range bombers in the area. Stepping up recon work over Burma. Seems like there are only 16k troops at Rangoon now - there are smaller units scattered all over the place. The force that will move into Burma is composed of the 15th Army under L.Gen Yamamoto. He got the 5th and 18th Divisions The 15th and 16th Naval Guard Units 23rd AA Regiment 1st Engineer Regiment 17th Heavy Field Arty Regiment 5 Special Base Force units 6th Reserve Tank Regiment 2 Para Regiments A total of 75000 men. At Rahaeng there are 27 fighters, 20 recon ac and 72 transports. Another 12 transports will move in in a few days. At Tavoy there are 39 fighters, 86 bombers and 8 recon ac At Moulemin there are 26 fighters and 26 bombers Bangkok then got an additional 39 fighters, 130 bombers and 12 recon ac. At total of 134 Zeros, 242 bombers, 72(+12) transports and 40 recon ac At PM the torpedo bombers is a pain, but I now got a sizeable base force in place. 50 Zeros have also been moved in and will claim more victims if the raiders comes back for more tomorrow. Lots of air activity in China. 36 Lilys moved in today to join the bombardment of Sian.
