Battle Rep of 12/25/41 It's Christmas day for the western powers. DEI At Manado the TF Nagato, en route to the replenishment, bombarded the base. 339 dutch casualties. My troops attacked and occupied the base, destroying 5 Martin 139, 3 Brewster 339 and 3 Demon. Not so much for me, but they are very precious for the dutch. Now I'll keep the 56. Bde there for a while. I cannot trust on Chuck. If I leave and I place only one B.F. to manage the afld, I'm sure he will come back. So I'll transfer there another inf unit from Mindanao. BORNEO After the big problems in Malaya, that took all my attention, it's time to continue with invasion. Some Inf units will be sent in various point of the big island to install important airfield. MALAYA Vildebeest are back in Singapore. They placed 1 torpedo on BB Haruna and 2 Torpedo on DD Akatsuki. Another losses, probably, (the DD is at 88 flt) but it's what I have to pay for a bad plan. The warships have to take the allied hit, to leave the transport ships intact with the precious reinforcements on board. BB Haruna is at an incredible 2 sys damage after that torpedo. One of my AK, damaged yesterday, sunk today. PI The 2 tank bn at Tugueguarao are pushing towards Aparri, as I said yesterday, but my para of 2. Rgt are doing an excellent job to delay them. At Aparri I landed today the Shuzuan Rgt. This should be sufficient to repulse an attack. SOU PAC In the south my invasion TF are sailing towards their respective objective, covered by the KB.
