Dec 7 Japan needed the resources on Netherlands East Indies, Borneo, Java, Sumatra. The US position in the Philippines would serious hamper communications with any operation in the area, plus the fleet at Pearl Harbor was a constant threat to the Empire. But what if the interference could be neutralized. After months a planning, the Navy had a thought. Neutralize the bases around the South China Sea and establish control of the air in this area. Then draw the US fleet into fight on our ground. Phase 1 of the plan went well (in addition to the bonus of 3 mini sub hits.). Airfields at Clack, Manila, Singapore, Georgetown, and Kota Bharu neutralized. Ports at Manila, Hong Kong and Rangoon severely damaged. Mersing landing w/ fighter cover from a small carrier group executed with minimal loss, and a critical airbase at Puerto Princesea attacked. Add to that major losses to the British and US Philippine fleets and it was a successful first day. Details below.
