ny59giants -> RE: NFC East Slapdown: NY59Giants (A) vs Cribtop (J) - Between the Storms (9/2/2014 12:20:52 PM)
|
Date: 41 Dec 15th - Hong Kong and Wake again, but one falls
Key: TT = Torpedo; bb = ground bombardment; c = casualties; b = base hits; s = supply hits; r = runway hits; p = port hits; f = fuel hits; AV = Assault Value; DC = Depth Charged; (*) = destroyed aircraft; If odds are italics, they are the Allies; BG = Bomber Group of 48 planes (4 x 12 bomber squadrons); FG fighter group = 25 fighter planes if American
Landings:
Wake with 1st Maizuru Assault Div (BB Hyuga embedded with transports)
CVs:
KB1 - 4 SW Wake Is. at 133,101
KB2 - 4 SW Wake Is. at 133,101 - with KB1
KB3 - Babeldoab still
CVEs - 3 W of Wake at 133,98
Subs:
Tambor is hit at Wake and will limp back to Pearl for repairs.
Tautog is 4 due south of Dutch Harbor and finds one of two raiders. AMC Nakja-Mur Maru is shot at THREE times with 12 torpedoes. All miss or are duds!! [sm=nono.gif] Meanwhile, CV Saratoga TF arrives at Dutch Harbor to refuel her escorts. Her airgroups were training, so no attacks were made. I will head NW from base and avoid this AMC. IMO, its not worth disclosing this TF for one AMC.
India/Burma:
Tavoy -
Mergui -
Victoria Point - 21 Sally barely scratch the runway
China:
Hong Kong - all the ground attacks go at the fortress unit and leave the infantry alone; 39 Betty, 46 Nell; 11 Sally, 12 Lily; 10 Nate, 6 Lily, 15 Ida, 11 Sonia;

Cribtop comments that he seems to always need an extra day or two for this base to fall once forts are gone.
Nanchang - SE of base 9 Nate & 8 Sonia; 39th ID attacks and almost wipes out my construction unit
Hwainan - NW of base 18 Nate & 9 Ann
Malaya: - empty bases now Japan's is Alor Star
Temuloh - 17 Lily hit troops between this base and Kuantan
Philippines:
Manila - 8 Betty attack base at night; my two subs are still slightly damaged in repair shipyard, but ordered to get ready to leave (3 days) now as Hong Kong will fall soon and I suspect Cribtop's attention may come back here.
Clark -
Naga - 16th ID pushes out the partial Philippine battalion.

Notes/Plans:
Allied Intel and Operations Dept are still busy trying to determine where the big attack will come from. PBYs are moving from USA to Dutch Harbor to Midway to Pearl and then beyond to give warning.
53rd (Sep) Inf Rgt is at San Fran and needs two more days worth of PPs before she can load on transports for Canton Island.
Meanwhile, at San Diego troops will soon load for Christmas Island - 65AA, 205AA, 56 CD, 47 Construc, 808 AEB, 2 Pion, 6 Port Maint Eng, 2 & 8 Marine Rgt.
