18 March 1942 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BURMA: The para-assault at Bassein went smoothly. The Yokosuka 1st SNLF and the 2nd Raiding Rgt took the base easily. Now for the big Bassein Airlift. DEI: Tandjoengbalai is landed. Nothing is here, so after taking the base these troops will walk up to Medan and eventually Sabang. At Batavia troops got a 1:1 and lowered forts to 2. It'll keep going tomorrow. CHINA: Nothing new no the ground today. A few more units from Changsha made it into Siangtan, bringing the AV in Changsha to only 2280. With this good defensive terrain though no attacks yet. I would estimate the AV in Siangtan now at about 4-4.5k AV. Forts there went to level 1 and are now building rapidly. In the air virtually the entire IJAAF in China is aimed at troops besieging Siangtan. None of them flew due to weather. Frustration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Mar 18, 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amphibious Assault at Tandjoengbalai (47,78) TF 16 troops unloading over beach at Tandjoengbalai, 47,78 Japanese ground losses: 55 casualties reported Squads: 4 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 1 (1 destroyed, 0 disabled) 10 Support troops lost from landing craft during unload of 112th Infantry Rgt Motorized Support lost in surf during unload of 15th JAAF Base Force 18 troops of a IJA Engineer Squad lost in surf during unload of 55th Engr Rgt 18 troops of a IJA Engineer Squad lost overboard during unload of 55th Engr Rgt 17 troops of a IJA Infantry Squad lost in surf during unload of 112th Infantry Rgt /2 10 Support troops lost in surf during unload of 112th Infantry Rgt /2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 55,103 (near Soerabaja) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 960 troops, 0 guns, 144 vehicles, Assault Value = 78 Defending force 2151 troops, 7 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 11 Japanese adjusted assault: 31 Allied adjusted defense: 4 Japanese assault odds: 7 to 1 Combat modifiers Defender: leaders(-), disruption(-), fatigue(-), morale(-) experience(-), supply(-) Attacker: leaders(+), leaders(-) Japanese ground losses: Vehicles lost 2 (1 destroyed, 1 disabled) Allied ground losses: 113 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled Non Combat: 17 destroyed, 2 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 8th Tank Regiment Defending units: Commandement Marine MLD Soerabaja Base Force -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Changsha (82,52) Japanese Bombardment attack Attacking force 62916 troops, 521 guns, 42 vehicles, Assault Value = 2257 Defending force 65308 troops, 345 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 2280 Japanese ground losses: 19 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Vehicles lost 1 (1 destroyed, 0 disabled) Allied ground losses: 10 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Assaulting units: 34th Division 40th Division 3rd Division 57th Infantry Brigade 6th Division 12th Ind.Mixed Brigade 11th Army 52nd Ind.Mtn.Gun Battalion Defending units: (No HQs.
