(late) Raid over Brisbane - day 2:

SSX Ha-24 and Ha-14, launched from their midget carrier, fired torpedoes against 2 liners (xAP Ormiston and Montoro)during night, but they missed their target.
Few hours later, Ha-14 crossed a minefield, and sank after 2 explosions...
The air raid over Brisbane occured in the afternoon, with 29 A6M2, 41 B5N2 and 41 D3A1. AG Bowin and AVP Arend were probably sunk with bombs, for the cost of one dive bomber shot down by flak. Airfield was also bombed. Few damage noticed.

During this day Moulmein -left empty - was captured by 55th cavalry regiment.

Karimata strait battle

Several ennemy surface fleets were detected early in the morning by 3 H6K4 crisscrossing the area. These fleets were sailing to North, probably in order to disturb amphibious operations around Singkawang.
Unfortunately for them, the 22th Air Flotilla was freshly installed here, supporting some A6M2, G3M2 and G4M1:

In the morning, 7 G3M2 attacked BB Prince of Wales, and one torpedo hit was reported, for the loss of 2 planes.
In the afternoon, 14 G4M1 launched torpedoes on CL Marblehead, CL Mauritius and CL Java, but all missed their target.

Kurita cruisers were sent towards these approaching fleets...

(late) Raid over Brisbane - day 3:

Before leaving the area, a new raid was launched, now concentrated on port attack. The registered results were much better this time:
AKE Nisqually, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires
PC Zeeman, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk
xAP Centaur, Bomb hits 1, on fire
AG King John, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk
xAP Macdhui, Bomb hits 1
AKE Mobile City, Bomb hits 1, on fire
AG Timoshenko, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk
AVP Reiger, Bomb hits 2, and is sunk
AG Steel Age, Bomb hits 1
AM Latrobe, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk
xAP Montoro, Bomb hits 1, on fire
AG Minnehura, Bomb hits 1, and is sunk
xAP Idomeneus, Bomb hits 1, on fire
One D3A1 lost because of anti air defense.

Finschafen was taken this day.

An IJN cargo (xAK Chojun Maru) was sunk by submarine torpedo when crossing Strait of Formosa...

6 biplanes B4Y1 provided ground support at Rabaul. I can not resist to embed a picture of this plane that should disappear from the Pacific theater very soon.



15th Army stationed at Moulmein was bombed by Hudson coming from Rangoon. They were too high (15k ft) for antiaircraft canons. But at this altitude, no significant damage were observed.

2 HDML, escaping from Singapore, were sunk by G4M1 near Singkep.

Assault on Manila started. More than 2300 casualties for US troops. 590 on IJA side. Ennemy appeared disrupted.

IJA launched another major attack at Chengchow in China. 1st Army was concentrated there (3 divisions + 1 brigade). Chinese defense should collapse rapidly.

Another IJN cargo lost during this night: xAK Amakusa Maru sunk near Balabac...

In New Britain, B4Y1 provided ground support at Rabaul, but still without significant effect. Ground assault failed again.

Manila was captured this day after a deliberate attack of 23800 mens of 14th IJA Army. Only half of the 16000 mens of the defender retreated to Clark Field.

In China, strong reinforcement of Changsha observed (> 105k troops). IJA 11th Army should face a long siege.

Most critical is the fast decrease of Resources. Convoys to Japan shall be multiplied during this month. These convoys should be screened by PBs available now in sufficient number after some cargo conversions started during last month...

After several days of waiting in the middle of the Ocean, I-168 has torpedoed BB Maryland during the night, 400 miles East of Hawaii.
After eluding ASW attack, the sub followed several hours the ennemy fleet. During afternoon, another too good opportunity for I-168: 3 more torpedoes to the battleship, which was probably sunk.

BB Prince of Wales was sighted at Batavia. A group of G3M2 and G4M1 attacked the ship near the harbour. 19 ennemy fighter were protecting the fleet (B-339D x 8, CW-21B Demon x 6, 75A-7 Hawk x 5). 2 of them were shot down by A6M2 (12 of them were escorting the torpedo bombers). Intesive flak of PoW destroyed 3 G4M1. Launching torpedoes was too imprecise and none of them reached the battlship. One additional G4M1 was shot down by ennemy fighter.

Ambon amphibious landing: xAP Hakone Maru, APD Hagi and Fuji were hit by 180 mm shells .

Lae was captured this day by III./4th Infantry Battalion, which defeated A Coy/NG Rifles.
At same time, a new assault at Rabaul marked time.

Zero over Singapore cleared the sky much more efficiently than Ki-43. 6 Buffalo were shot down for 1 A6M2 lost.

Rabaul defense cracked ! Several support troops who were waiting for several days in ships have been ordered to land.

- SS Shark torpedoed xAK Oigawa Maru near Fukue-Jima

During afternoon, ACM Colonel Harrison was sunk by G4M1 near Manado. That ship was probably leaving Philipines.

Tarakan amphibious landing: here also coastal defense were well trained: xAK Fushimi Maru and Toho Maru hit.

Cotabato was captured by Miura detachment. Defenders were completely disrupted and did not really want to fight: all of them captured without any IJA loss.

Nauru was also captured this day. Only a small allied detachment was there.

Battle of New Hebrides
Kido Butai was sent forward an amphibious landing force heading to Luganville. Patrol aircraft had sighted some cruisers there during morning. Nagumo didn't hesitate and 36 B5N2 + 36 D3A1 escorted by 48 A6M2 attacked them. Results were very good:
Japanese aircraft losses
B5N2 Kate: 5 damaged
D3A1 Val: 5 damaged
Allied Ships

Second amphibious wave at Ambon received shells from ennemy coastal defense: APD Nadakaze and Shimakaze hit.
However, the assault allowed a reduction of fortifications.

Mine warfare: Jolo targeted by ennemy sub.
Near Jolo, CA Moganmi received a torpedo. Crew managed to prevent flooding and the effect of this fish was not critical.

Over Singapore, Buffalos made resistance: after a combat opposing 36 Ki-43 versus 32 Buffalos, 3 Ki-43 were destroyed for 1 Buffalo.

A new attack against surface fleet at Batavia was launched. 20 allied aircraft protected them, and destroyed 1 A6M2. They lost 1 B-339D. All the 23 G4M1 failed to torpedo the cruisers Marblehead and Java.

Several assaults were launched at Clark field, Tarakan and Ambon. All of them were stopped.
It should take time to capture these places...

New Hebrides - New Caledonia

I-16 attaked a transport fleet near Noumea during the night:
xAP Van Imhoff, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage.

Near Efate, 13 B5N2 launched from Kido Butai sank xAP Dardanus with bombs, and hit xAP Silksworth and AM Warrnambool. Pilots reported that these ship were loaded with troops.
Later during the day, another group of 27 B5N2 finished the job:
xAP Silksworth and AM Whyalla sunk.

West of Noumea, 62 B5N2 attacked the same transport fleet already attacked by I-16:
xAP Van den Bosch, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
AVD Childs, Bomb hits 5, and is sunk
xAP Van der Lijn, Bomb hits 8, and is sunk
xAP Van Heemskerck, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage
xAP Mijer, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage

This should have chilling effect on Allies !

Covered by KB, Sasebo 8th SNLF and Yokosuka 4th SNLF set foot on Luganville beaches:



Armed Merchant Cruiser action - Pacific Ocean North East:
AMC Kiyosumi Maru met a fleet of light tankers sailing to West. PC Bonham screened them at a cost of 1 shell received. AMC failed to hit more ennemy ships...

Air combat over Singapore: 40 Ki-43 aainst 41 Buffalo. 5 Ki-43 lost for 3 Buffalo... hoping attrition will hit British first.

Another attack on surface fleet at Batavia. This time a HDML P14 was sunk, and 2 ennemy aircrafts in CAP were destroyed. 1 A6M2 and 2 G4M1 were also lost.

Over Rangoon, allies reinforced fighters: 31 H81 were opposed to 19 Ki-43. 1 loss on each side.

No ennemy fleet sighted. Only some subs detected. The desire to reduce surface combat escorts could affect IJN...

During night, ennemy subs placed mines near Singkawang. DMS W17 cleared all of them.

South of Fiji, AMC Aikoku Maru met xAKL Atlantic at night, but the small cargo escaped.

In Burma, British forces stopped IJA at Pegu. 7 A6M2 in sweeping mission met 9 H81 over there. 1 plane lost on each side.

Another assault was launched at Ambon, but it failed again. This place should fall by attrition.

Lurking in the waters near French Frigate Shoal, I-171 surprised an ennemy fleet and placed 3 torpedoes on CM Oglala.

In the afternoon, xAKL Sarpen was sunk in strait of Malacca by 18 G3M2. This isolated ship tried probably to supply Singapore.

6 G4M1 (of a group of 19) were destroyed over Batavia by ennemy CAP. Lack of escort over target was not explained.

Near Noumea, midget sub SSX Ha-5 torpedoed xAP Macdhui.

Several ground attack this day...

At Pegu, 15th Army launched an attack. Despite low ennemy morale and experience, this combat was a draw.

At Clark Field, 14th Army also launched a deliberate attack. The cost was 1000 troop loss on each side.

At Tarakan, attacks of I/124th Infantry Battalion and 91st Naval Guard Unit have come up against the defenses.

At Ambon, assault also failed.

At Taung Guy, III./143rd Infantry Battalion, which get around Rangoon defense from Chiang Mai, crushed Mandalay BMP Battalion, and secured the area for a JAAF Coy arrival by plane.

Air combat over Rangoon have resumed this day: 25 H81 and 7 P40E were waiting for 19 A6M2. The opponents didn't dogfight and shot down 7 zero for the loss of 3 H81...

Another isolated small cargo was sunk in Strait of Malacca: xAKL Prominent received 3 torpedo from G3M2.

9 G4M1 freshly deployed at Rabaul were sent in the afternoon near Cooktown where an ennemy transport fleet was detected. 2 ennemy transport were sunk with torpedos: xAP Tambua and xAP Iron Crown.

At Pegu, 15th Army received some significant reinforcements and continued assault for a second day. Result was again a draw.
