The citizens of Shanghai today bore witness to the full might and fury of the Imperial battlefleet's power, as our ships smashed the enemy's so-called "China Squadron". In a tempest of shells and torpedoes, all five enemy vessels that came out to do battle were put under the waves. Subsequently, our battlecruisers bombarded enemy installations ashore, before retiring victoriously. On a more sombre note, the battlecruiser Kongo, whilst taking part in the battle, was struck by an explosion which caused serious damage to her. Preliminary investigations have hinted at an electrical problem in one of the machinery spaces. (PS: the explosion aboard the Kongo was caused by a torpedo hit from one of Bill's destroyers, but I don't think the Japanese Naval Ministry would just come out and admit that...[;)]) [image]local://upfiles/16369/57ECF88930EF4AEAB6F5315AE0F2A84D.jpg[/image]

Our old foe S-8 once again appeared off Batan Island, and was once again inconclusively engaged by our ASW forces. More ships have been sent to once and for all eliminate this tedious enemy. Elsewhere, battlecruiser Kongo pulled into port at <censored> harbour. Wearing her battle scars with pride, she moored at pier#11, where repair yard workers from <censored> were already waiting to get to work on her.

(OoC) Got a little carried away, and sent some ships to look for trouble in Hong Kong. Somebody had been very inconsiderate and MINED the place, and as a result, the Japanese have lost their first ship of the war. Elsewhere, I got bit in the ass by the River Crossing Shock Attack Rule in Cotabato. Grmbl... 1600 casualties vs. 4 for Bill... Grmbl... Payback...

Moving right along... Several actions today. Off Hangchow, a force of Japanese pre-dreadnoughts engaged the previously damaged Chinese cruiser Hai Chou. Curiously, and presumably due to the very long range (24-26,000 yards), both of the achieved 25cm hits bounced off. Furthermore, en route to Hangchow, the battleship Mishishima hit a mine outside Shanghai, and was forced to break off the mission and retire. On land, our forces have reached the Bataan area. Finding it lightly occupied, our soldiers are shaking themselves out for an attack tomorrow. At Cotabato, Imperial Army troops commenced the methodical ejection of enemy forces from the town. We are optimistic that the battle will be over quite shortly. [image]local://upfiles/16369/4E2A2576F26B454CA22CC78D0E46704B.jpg[/image]

The enemy continues to make a nuisance of himself in several places. Off Batan Island, the S-8 continues its Dance of Futility against our destroyers. Everytime it sticks its nose out to attack, our ships drive it under before it can fire, and everytime they do, they immediately lose contact, and so can not depth charge it. Tremendously frustrating. On land, good news and bad. Our forces at Bataan took control of the abandoned Corregidor coastal defence fort, thereby opening Manilla Bay for our naval traffic. At Cotabato, however, the enemy, in the form of the Philippino army Reserve Division, continues to resist. They are only postponing the inevitable. (PS: of course Bataan wasn't completely abandoned, since the CD fort can't move. But, in RL, the guns would most likely have been spiked and left behind by their crews.)

Annoying incident off Takao today. A force of Chinese cruisers and destroyers, including the previously damaged (and preternaturally lucky Hai Chou) appeared out of nowhere, stumbling over one of my AD's and comprehensively sinking her: [image]local://upfiles/16369/2211BBD3DDA4414B82FD5EE36C6EA052.jpg[/image] You think you brought enough firepower there, Bill?[;)] Their Chinese good fortune will soon be replaced by Interesting Times![sm=00000612.gif] The sinking of a mere AD may seem to be inconsequential, but when you consider how small the bases on Formosa are, it suddenly becomes irritating, which was why it was on its way there in the first place. Elsewhere, we have commenced a massive artillery bombardment of the enemy lines at Cotabato. They will feel the might of our heavy guns for a while, before the next, and final, assault.

The Chinese cruisers who showed up at Takao yesterday have been sighted heading west, instead of east as expected. Veeeery interesting... In the submarine playpen west of Batan Island, a new kid came out to get boinked: the S-2 was hit by a single depth charge from our destroyers. Probably the prelude to about a week of fruitless back-and-forth like with the S-8. Speaking of which... our troops at Corregidor sighted a USN submarine moving towards Manilla. Mayhap our old foe? At Cotabato, our artillery bombardment continues, but seemingly with fewer enemy casualties. Have they learned to duck since yesterday?

Very action-packed turn today. We found the Chinese cruisers in the night south-west of Formosa, and engaged them with a destroyer flotilla. A confused and drawn-out action followed, resulting in severe damage to a number of Chinese ships and the sinking of the Japanese destroyer Tanikaze. Later, light cruiser Oi and her attending destroyers found the enemy ships, but were out of position and failed to inflict any significant damage. Elsewhere, more Japanese troops landed at Lamon Bay, signalling the start of the second phase of our offensive on Luzon. [image]local://upfiles/16369/B3043AA72F884AA28A38B878C7699CC8.jpg[/image]
