42-02-23 Wake: the IJN light cruisers Yura and Nagara (+2 DD) have finally bombarded the atoll. 95 ennemy casualties reported, but no coastal defense shell received: lack of supply ? At Koumac, the second day of fight was the last for allied ground forces: more than 2000 mens captured.

Unfortunately for them, japanese carriers were around. A first wave of 26 B5N2 and 22 D3A1 sealed the fate of several ships: xAP Le Maire, Don Esteban, Klang and S'Jacob were sunk for sure. 3 other xAP were left damaged. A second wave of 26 B5N2 and 43 D3A1 eliminated xAP Rooseboom, Perak, Ipoh and Pijnacker Hordijk. Burma, Pegu combats: 15th Army tried to blow the lock thanks to heavy artillery arrival.

42-02-26 No major actions on sea to report. In Burma, Mandalay, the 2 IJA battalions were under air attack - which started the previous day. 66 Blenheim and 23 Hudson, protected by some Hurricane, dropped their bombs over japanese troops, which suffered some losses in the open field. 3 A6M2 and 3 Ki-27 only were patrolling in this area. 1 Ki-27 was destroyed for 1 Blenheim and 1 Hudson. IJA decided to air-lift one more battalion in central Burma.

Lam0ttePicquet -> RE: Pistol Pete - Lam0ttePicquet (J) vs rook749 (A) (8/1/2016 10:34:04 PM)
42-02-27 Burma, Mandalay, another morning attack of Blenheim and Hudson squadrons. Only 1 Hurricane on CAP shot down by japanese fighters. Several losses on IJA troops. Wake naval bombardment: 3 CA (Chicago, Chester and Northampton) + 3 DD fired on the island. High number of japanese casualties (700), explained by the fact that they were attacking... IJN troops, completely disrupted, suffered also 640 other casualties during the attack. Fortunately, allied troops didn't counter-attack. They would have probably pushed to sea the remaining forces.

42-02-28 Noumea naval battle A IJN cruiser fleet made of CA Myoko, Haguro and Nachi and 4 DD arrived close to the harbor few hour before the appearance of an ennemy fleet: 2CA (Houston and Canberra) and 1 DD.

42-03-01 Strategic status: Burma: # 15th Army is stopped near Rangoon. Reinforcements are needed in order to capture Rangoon. Some battalions sent to central Burma took control of the area but are still supplied by air. # heavy losses taken by Ki-21 and Ki-43 Malaya: # 25th Army is besieging Singapore. This should take about 6 weeks. DEI: # Palembang and Balikpapan landings in preparation # Java landings not scheduled before April 42 Phillipines: # 14th Army is fighting against US troops at Clark field. This Army could be available in one or two months for operations either in Java or Australia Papua - New Guinea: # Port Moresby has been captured. 16th Army is now preparing for landings in Australia. South Pacific: # Fiji invasion has been abandoned. New Caledonia was captured as fall back position. Central Pacific: # Wake is still not captured. Aleutians: # Amchitka island has been captured. It seems that it has triggered an important reaction

42-03-03 Tuvalu archipelago naval battle A small IJN amphibious task force (2 TB + 2xAK) was sailing to Vaitupu when it was intercepted by a 4 battleships and 3 DD ! All japanese ship were sunk... Over Rangoon, RAF deserted the sky. Ki-21 have had an opportunity to damage airfields and to destroy one Buffalo on ground. Air attack near Batavia: 15 G4M1 flying at sea level attacked 2 CL Marblehead and Java. The second cruiser received one torpedo. Allied air cover (30 fighters !) was probably surprised and didn't do anything. Ground combat at Singapore: 25th Army was still opposed to 54000 britsh troops. The assault ended at the end of the day with 2100 casualties for IJA and 831 for the besieged.

One zero didn't come back but 1 Buffalo and 1 B-339D were claimed. Over Rangoon, british fighters came back and their pilots were apparently motivated. 32 P-40, 24 Hurricane, 10 Buffalo and 12 H81-A3 fell on 6 Ki-27 and 29 Ki-43 flying at 9000 feet. 9 japanese fighters went to the mat for one H81-A3. Even worse, 43 Ki-21 screened by 30 Ki-43 endured the law of ennemy: 19 bombers and 2 ki-43 were shot down as if on parade. 19 A6M2 arrived a little bit later to destroy 5 ennemy fighters (but 2 reisen lost).
