Summary of Operations: 6/26/42 Central Pacific: U.S. submarine Flying Fish at Kwajalein torpedoed a Jap AK and then received moderate damage in a Japanese ASW attack. The Flying Fish is returning to Pearl Harbor and in no danger of sinking. Jap carrier aircraft patrols (Kates & Vals) continue to be observed by U.S. submarine patrols at Pago Pago and Kwajalein. South Pacific: Japanese ground attack on Noumea. AAR follows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Noumea Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 3920 troops, 26 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 116 86 Naval Guard, Kure 7 SNLF Defending force 1715 troops, 9 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 36 BICNM Infantry Bn Japanese max assault: 93 - adjusted assault: 78 Allied max defense: 35 - adjusted defense: 75 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 0 Japanese ground losses: 152 casualties reported Guns lost 6 Allied ground losses: 11 casualties reported ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jap H8K Emily aircraft reported flying recon missions over Penhryn Island. This situation will continue to be monitored. No Allied air or ground forces are currently based at Penhryn. Penhryn Island is located in the "no-man's land" area between Allied and Japanese front line bases. A Japanese move on Penhryn Island is not a major loss to the Allied cause and would at most create a base for them to operate naval patrol aircraft to monitor the local sea area. With very few Allied ships moving into or through this area, this might represent a minor disruption to Allied shipping between the U.S. and Australia/NZ in a few instances. If Pillager want to continue over-extending farther to the south, fine. Put another Jap LCU or two and some aircraft into a cul-de-sac from which they may never emerge. Australia/NZ: All sectors reporting quiet. No Japanese air or ground activity reported or detected. Burma: Japanese air raid on Myitkyina. AAR follows - including the AAR as an example of typical recent Japanese air activity over Myitkyina. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Myitkyina , at 36,28 Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ib Oscar x 12 Ki-51 Sonia x 14 No Japanese losses Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 10 Aircraft Attacking: 12 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet 2 x Ki-51 Sonia bombing at 2000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- China: Ground combat continues at Yenan and other locations - AAR's follow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Yenan Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 76525 troops, 294 guns, 81 vehicles, Assault Value = 2119 35th, 36th, 37th & 110th Infantry Divisions, 13 Tank Rgt, 13 Independent Brigade, 2 & 8 Engineer Rgts Defending force 19955 troops, 69 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 480 115th, 120th & 129th Communist Divisions Japanese max assault: 1544 - adjusted assault: 407 Allied max defense: 511 - adjusted defense: 210 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 6) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 5 Japanese ground losses: 793 casualties reported Guns lost 11 Vehicles lost 1 Allied ground losses: 836 casualties reported Guns lost 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 46,33 Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 15418 troops, 60 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 341 58th Infantry Division Defending force 8241 troops, 22 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 245 1st Chinese Cavalry Corps, 8th Chinese Guerilla Corps/C -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 46,37 Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 5705 troops, 37 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 157 70th Infantry Division Defending force 8 troops, 1 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1 50th Chinese Guerilla Corps/B Japanese max assault: 151 - adjusted assault: 153 Allied max defense: 0 - adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 153 to 1 Allied ground losses: 3 casualties reported Defeated Allied Units Retreating! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Yenan Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 14609 troops, 28 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 458 115th, 120th & 129th Communist Divisions Defending force 95796 troops, 373 guns, 84 vehicles, Assault Value = 2006 35th, 36th, 37th & 110th Infantry Divisions, 13 Tank Rgt, 13 Independent Brigade, 2 & 8 Engineer Rgts
