42-03-31 IJN Raiders West of Australia: Kinryu Maru avenged ! SS I-27 hit CL Marblehead with 3 torpedoes during 2 separate attacks. Later during the day - and not far away from there, a surface combat occured. It has involved CL Isuzu and 3 TB against 5 DD (Dutch and British). As the IJN fleet disengaged first, one can consider it was an Allied victory. But according to hits, it seems to be a draw: Japanese Ships CL Isuzu, Shell hits 2 TB Hiyodori, Shell hits 4, heavy fires, heavy damage TB Hayabusa, Shell hits 2 TB Kari, Shell hits 5, heavy fires Allied Ships DD Van Nes, Shell hits 8, and is sunk DD Banckert, Shell hits 3, heavy fires DD Van Ghent, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Paladin, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Panther Batavia - air combats: 21 Ki-43 attacked 24 remaining ennemy fighter. However, without Reisen opening the debate, 3 Hayabusa were lost ... for only 1 Buffalo. 6 A6M2 arrived later and destroyed 1 B-339D and 1 P-40E. Soerabaja: G4M1 spent some torpedo on ennemy HDML and sank 2 of them. Denpasar - south of Java: 25 139WH-3 attacked an amphibious fleet near this island. Fortunately, 2 A6M2 coming from Celebes and equiped with drop tank were in CAP... and destroyed 2 ennemy bomber. 6 dutch bombers resumed their attack during afternoon, only for the loss of 1 more of them. Australia - Townsville: 3 A6M2 - followed by 28 other - came back and destroyed 2 of the 8 Kittihawk, without any loss.
