Status: offline 		DATELINE AUKLAND: 16 January, 1942
In a daring action a mixed force of Allied cruisers steamed into battle near Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides yesterday. The Japanese forces, including at least 5 battleships, suffered disproportionately heavy losses given their overwhelmingly superior firepower, A Japanese cruiser and 3 destroyers were sunk, several other cruisers and destroyers damaged, and hits scored on several battleships. The American cruiser Louisville and Free French destroyer Le Triophant went down fighting in the action but gave as good as they got. HMNZS Achilles, which played a pivotal role in bringing the German pocket battleship Graf Spee to bay in 1939, again distinguished itself against a far more powerful foe.
Over the last several days Japanese forces have landed on and captured some of the islands in the New Hebrides. Attacks by Allied air forces, including New Zealand flyers, have damaged numerous transports, some severely but have been unable to stem what is apparently a major Japanese offensive into the South Pacific. Unchecked this Japanese drive could pose a serious threat to this city and the rest of New Zealand. At least with this action the enemy has been served notice that he will pay a heavy price for his naked aggression.


DATELINE SAN FRANCISCO: 15 January, 1942
Twelve Naval District Headquarters today reported that Allied naval forces had attacked and probably sunk a Japanese submarine approxiamately 180 miles WSW of San Francisco. A large oil slick and patch of debris was observed following the attacks. There were no Allied losses.

A Japanese offensive on the Changsha Front has stalled after heavy fighting. Several enemy divisions are cut off West of the city and are under relentless attack by government forces. Enemy attempts to break through to the pocket have been beaten off with heavy losses.

DATELINE BATAVIA: 17 January 1942
Japanese attacks near Palembang gained scant ground and suffered significant casualties yesterday. Elsewhere in the Indies Japanese forces have pulled back from what appeared to be a landing on Timor after fierce Allied naval and air attacks.
In the Philippines the Japanese attempted to make a landing at Davao on Mindanao but suffered heavy losses to combined air and naval attacks. Several enemy transports were heavily damaged and believed sunk. Several reports from the city indicate that a beach just east of the city is littered with the bodies of drowned Japanese troops in full battle gear.

Heavy fighting continues SE of the city. Japanese forces are exerting tremendous pressure but are making little progress in spite of near constant air attacks against our forces. Japanese artillery continues to pound the city inflicting massive destruction on the city and causing numerous civilian casualties.

DATELINE CHUNGKING: 23 January 1942
The Japanese continue to attack on the central front near Changsha. A dangerous enemy penetration West of the city has as yet not been contained. Reinforcements are streaming towards the breakthrough area which as yet has no secure line of supply. Meanwhile in the city itself Japanese forces are making no headway in fruitless and near suicidal attacks.

DATELINE BATAVIA: 23 January 1942
A spokesman for ABDA Headquarters announced that the Japanese have again attempted a landing on the island of Ambon. A large Japanese transport was torpedoed by Allied aircraft. Additional Japanese forces have been sighted heading towards Ambon.
Meanwhile numerous enemy aircraft were shot down or damaged in large scale air raids on Batavia and Tjilatjap. Allied losses were light.

An ABDA spokesman announced that Allied aircraft have seriously damaged an enemy cruiser, believed to be the HIJMS Sendai, in attacks near Ambon. The enemy had carried out an ineffective bombardment the previous night and foolishly remained just offshore during the day when our bombers attacked with torpedos.
Bombing raids on Batavia and Soerbaya yesterday inflicted minimal damage. A large number of enemy aircraft were damaged or shot down.
ABDA Command announces with regret the loss of HMAS Warrego which was attacked South of Timor. The ship was attacked by carrier aircraft. The enemy carrier HIJMS Ryujo is believed to be operating in the area.

SE FLEET REPORTS MAJOR TRIUMPH AT NEW CALEDONIA (Nouvelle Caledonie)

Nomeau, capital of the former French colony of New Caledonia, fell today to a small Naval landing force. Only slight resistance was encounter and remnants of an American colonial occupying unit is reported to be fleeing to the North. East Australia and New Zealand are effectively cut off and may now undergo invasion.

Other news includes the routing of another futile Chinese attempt to break the siege of Changsa. In addition, near Koepang, the British battleship was hit by a torpedo from a Kate. The hit was near the rudder and the ship may well be immobilised. Further attacks are planned in the morning.
