Great result, all those tankers were fully loaden with fuel! I guess we have destroyed at least 200.000 tons of fuel today and have probably sunk 14 or 15 tankers and 4 or 5 sub chasers for the loss of a couple Kates! BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! In the long run this is of course also only a small victory and only a little morale boost, it doesnīt change anything of the current strategic situation. With all this fuel lost, I guess this has bought us a week or two. All those CV/BB/CA... in Australia will need a lot of fuel and the loss of all those TK should not make the Allied fuel situation any better there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Sian Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 14205 troops, 456 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 4223 Defending force 89300 troops, 130 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 3032 Allied ground losses: 34 casualties reported deliberate attack tomorrow... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Myitkyina Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 8376 troops, 289 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1527 Defending force 24191 troops, 167 guns, 204 vehicles, Assault Value = 359 Allied ground losses: 151 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Kweiyang Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 16009 troops, 202 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 3444 Defending force 221794 troops, 768 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 5852
