16/12/1941 HONG KONG FALLS, in an all out effort to drive out the white skinned imperialists the armies our divine emperor have again struck a decisive blow to the forces of evil. Our barretted correspondent (see picture below) has the following to say about the event. The imperialists are being burned in their tanks by the thousands, we laugh at their bullets, thy are as easy to defeat as rice paper with a candle, WE WILL WIN, WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN. (so far from our correspondent at the front) Hmm, at least some action during this turn. The reported ships at pearl harbour, en route to the west coast where “suddenly” gone???. I only found some damaged PH ships from my attack 2 days ago. I attacked them with single KAGA, alas 2 more cruisers into the abyss, maybe now can my fuel hungry carriers finally go home and refuel ….. Went raiding in the Philippines with light forces and bagged myself 2 transports, noticed that I only have lost 2 ships so far, a destroyer at wake (THAT is a surprise !!) and a sub that I parked near Manilla ate a mk 7. Sank 50 allies ships so far (confirmed), but suspect that there are some more losses yet to be confirmed. Also went after the B17's that brigada parked at Cagayan, plan to do some regulair bombing there with my betty's and sally's japanese Ships CL Nagara DD Yukikaze DD Suzukaze Allied Ships AK Sarangami, Shell hits 11, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat at 36,55 Japanese Ships CL Nagara DD Yukikaze DD Suzukaze Allied Ships AK Si Kiang, Shell hits 7, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Cagayan , at 42,59 Japanese aircraft G3M Nell x 41 G4M1 Betty x 74 Allied aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses G4M1 Betty: 1 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17C Fortress: 3 destroyed, 7 damaged Allied ground losses: 13 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 120,65 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 15 D3A Val x 22 B5N Kate x 21 No Japanese losses Allied Ships CA Salt Lake City, Bomb hits 6, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 118,65 Japanese aircraft D3A Val x 22 B5N Kate x 22 No Japanese losses Allied Ships CL Raleigh, Bomb hits 11, on fire, heavy damage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Hong Kong Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 32600 troops, 300 guns, 10 vehicles Defending force 11446 troops, 49 guns, 2 vehicles Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 0 Japanese assault odds: 5 to 1 (fort level 0) Japanese forces CAPTURE Hong Kong base !!!
