Sorry guys but i won't follow the discussion about DL and factories...need to update 2 important turns May 3, 4 1944 Harbin was hit hard. and only a couple of planes now remain in production At Hakkodate our PTs and DDs, despite heavy losses due to mines mostly (during this campaign for Hakkodate i lost 25 PTs, 4 DMS, 5 DDs and got many more heavily damaged), managed to score some important results, destroying the upcoming fleet of barges that from Ominato were moving to Hakkodate in order to lift away the sieged garrison. We didn't want to give the enmy any breath so we didn't wait. Our units were sent on the heels of the fleeing enemy. Our PTs also sunk a jap CL and, in combination with our subs, 4 LSTs, 5 xAKLs and several PBs and AMcs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Ominato at 118,53, Range 3,000 Yards Japanese Ships AMc Yoshitomo Maru, Shell hits 5, and is sunk AMc Gamitsu Maru #1, Shell hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage LB-1035, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-5001, Shell hits 6, and is sunk LB-5002, Shell hits 7, and is sunk LB-5003, Shell hits 3, and is sunk LB-5004, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-5005, Shell hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage LB-5006, Shell hits 10, and is sunk LB-5007, Shell hits 5, heavy fires, heavy damage LB-5009, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-201, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-202, Shell hits 3, and is sunk LB-203, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-204, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-205, Shell hits 7, and is sunk LB-206, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-207, Shell hits 5, and is sunk LB-209, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-210, Shell hits 5, and is sunk LB-211, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-212, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-213, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-215, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-216, Shell hits 3, and is sunk LB-217, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-218, Shell hits 2, and is sunk Allied Ships PT-496 PT-497 PT-522 PT-524 PT-525 PT-526 PT-527 PT-528 PT-530 PT-531 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Ominato at 118,53, Range 1,000 Yards Japanese Ships CL Katori, Shell hits 15, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Yukaze Allied Ships PT-161 PT-242 PT-258 PT-345 PT-357 PT-463 PT-465 PT-469, Shell hits 1, and is sunk PT-493, Shell hits 1, and is sunk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Harbin , at 109,39 Weather in hex: Heavy rain Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 21,000 feet.

I have to learn not to get impatient!!!! Enemy CV popped up near Perth and sunk 2 TKs....i think it was a combo of CVEs...nothing serious May 5, 6 1944 Our Okkaido army arrived at Hakkodate on the run....we didn't give the enemy no quarter...he managed to dunkirk several thousands men using barges, despite my effort to close the door... We LRCAPped Hakkodate and sent 200 2Es to bomb the garrison there. No opposition found in the air... After the intense air bombing our generals ordered the final attack to the enemy's redoubt and we immediately conquered the important base. The following day we cleared what was left of the enemy presence in Okkaido. Now that the last jap soldier has abbandoned Okkaido it's time to set up proper defences and to give my division a deserved rest. Our Convoys are close to home by now...while a new CVE TF (230 planes strong) and a CV TF leaded by WaspII (278 planes) are joining our main CV/CVE fleet near Addak... everything is going smoothly... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Ominato at 118,53, Range 4,000 Yards Japanese Ships AMc Wa 13, Shell hits 7, and is sunk E W-24, Shell hits 4 PB Kohuku Maru, Shell hits 8, heavy fires, heavy damage LB-5008, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-5015, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-219, Shell hits 4, and is sunk LB-221, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-222, Shell hits 2, and is sunk LB-558, Shell hits 13, and is sunk LB-561, Shell hits 21, and is sunk LB-562, Shell hits 2 LB-1203, Shell hits 1, and is sunk LB-1204, Shell hits 3, and is sunk LB-1315, Shell hits 1, and is sunk Allied Ships PT-496 PT-497 PT-522 PT-524, Shell hits 1 PT-526, Shell hits 1 PT-527 PT-528 PT-530 PT-531 Japanese ground losses: 614 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 53 destroyed, 64 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Hakodate (119,53) Allied Deliberate attack Attacking force 151493 troops, 3163 guns, 3630 vehicles, Assault Value = 5541 Defending force 12086 troops, 89 guns, 116 vehicles, Assault Value = 150 Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Allied adjusted assault: 3886 Japanese adjusted defense: 67 Allied assault odds: 58 to 1 (fort level 2) Allied forces CAPTURE Hakodate !!!
