November 8th 1942 Air Losses: 1 Japanese, 2 Allied, 0 Pilots Japanese occupy: Allies occupy: Japanese land at: Allies land at: Pacific DD Hagikaze takes a 21 inch torpedoe from S-39. It has 32/90/2 damage and will head for the nearest port, Milne Bay. It is a level 1 port but there is a fair amount of naval support present so not sure how long it will take to fix the system damage, if it makes the 80 miles. Burma Quiet Indian Ocean Long range recon picked up a single ship heading South from Ceylon a couple of days ago. Apparently, intending to attack my picket PB. Three DD were sent out to intercept it and, in the middle of nowhere, quote:
Day Time Surface Combat, near Sinabang at 29,77, Range 14,000 Yards Japanese Ships DD Natsugumo, Shell hits 1 DD Minegumo DD Harusame Allied Ships AMC Chitral, Shell hits 13, Torpedo hits 2, and is sunk Maximum visibility in Partly Cloudy Conditions: 28,000 yards Range closes to 14,000 yards... CONTACT: Japanese lookouts spot Allied task force at 14,000 yards Japanese launch Long Lance torpedoes at 14,000 yards before allies detect Japanese presence DD Harusame launches Long Lance Torpedoes at AMC Chitral at 14,000 yards DD Minegumo launches Long Lance Torpedoes at AMC Chitral at 14,000 yards Ross O. orders Allied TF to disengage Range closes to 9,000 yards DD Harusame engages AMC Chitral at 9,000 yards DD Minegumo engages AMC Chitral at 9,000 yards DD Natsugumo engages AMC Chitral at 9,000 yards Range closes to 5,000 yards DD Natsugumo engages AMC Chitral at 5,000 yards DD Harusame engages AMC Chitral at 5,000 yards AMC Chitral sunk by DD Harusame at 5,000 yards Combat ends with last Allied ship sunk... Both surprise attacks scored hits, but one was a dud. The hit on DD Natsugumo was a single 6 inch shell and did 11 points of float damage. That is a nice 31 VP to pick up[:)]. China Drive the Allies back from NE of Tsuyung[8D] quote:
Ground combat at 68,45 (near Tsuyung) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 14389 troops, 145 guns, 46 vehicles, Assault Value = 428 Defending force 7490 troops, 123 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 84 Japanese adjusted assault: 380 Allied adjusted defense: 151 Japanese assault odds: 2 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), fatigue(-), experience(-) Attacker: Japanese ground losses: 94 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 18 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 4 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Allied ground losses: 1080 casualties reported Squads: 111 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 30 destroyed, 16 disabled Engineers: 3 destroyed, 3 disabled Guns lost 10 (1 destroyed, 9 disabled) Units retreated 1 Defeated Allied Units Retreating! Assaulting units: 9th Tank Regiment 24th Division Defending units: 66th Chinese Corps This should allow me to open the road between Chengtu and Tsuyung. At Chungking bombardment reveals the weakened Chinese force[:)] quote:
Ground combat at Chungking (76,45) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 10537 troops, 760 guns, 629 vehicles, Assault Value = 4205 Defending force 162952 troops, 503 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1449 Allied ground losses: 667 casualties reported Squads: 25 destroyed, 7 disabled Non Combat: 8 destroyed, 3 disabled Engineers: 2 destroyed, 1 disabled Guns lost 4 (2 destroyed, 2 disabled) Fatigue amongst my infantry remains at 80+ and disruption at 50-70 so no attack for a few days. Liberators attack the heavy industry at Kunming. The flak is insufficient and they manage to destroy all of it[:(]. That solves the problem that fuel wouldn't flow there[:D]. Bad weather grounds all air attacks against Chungking[:(]. Australia More sweeps of Darwin and he bombs it but only with the 4E bombers at 20000 feet. 5 more Kasu-D delivering supplies are sunk. Supply now stands at 4400+, putting it into a yellow !. Port/Airfield damage stands at 47/75/41. Engineering Quiet R&D Mitsubishi Ha-44 advances to 9/44.
