January 12th to 14th 1942
______________________________________________________________________________
Turns are flying back and forth today!
------------------------
Singapore/Malaya
------------------------
Singers finally fall on the 13th. While that is very early its still almost 2 weeks more then my estimate. Canīt really complain about that.

------------------------
Borneo
------------------------
The allied "air force" take off to strike at the captured oil. Sadly weather and low moral means only 8 B17Ds take off. Four are damaged but manage to inflict 3 points of damage to the oil.
------------------------
CENTPAC
------------------------
Japanese land and capture Tarawa.
------------------------
SOPAC
------------------------
KB turns SW. Probably hoping to catch some TFs going to or from OZ. Luckily nothing is in the area. A small AVP is sunk at Norfolk island but that is it.
This is good news for me as huge convoy is unloading at Pago Pago. I was worried Tom would turn East and threaten the TF. Almost 500 AV unloaded. Pago Pago will be my line in the sand. A big chunk of the US Navy are steaming towards the area.
A Jap sub is operating in the shallows at Pago Pago. So far the sub has sunk a DD and a xAK. I miss the late was allied ASW...
------------------------
China
------------------------
Tom continues to attack the roadblock to Ankang. But for the first time in the war the Chinese bombers sortie with amazing effect.

Not sure if this is related or not but all of the sudden combat swings heavily in Chinese favor.

Perhaps there is still some hope. But a dangerous situation is starting to develop in the east.
