BBs Oklahoma and Nevada bombarded our troops at Dutch Harbor.

In China we continue to maneuver before delivering the big punch.

Bases assaulted today: Mussau Is.

BB Kongo arrived at Yokohama from the Aleutians with 30 system, 13 flotation, and 11 engine damage; it will require 67 days in the shipyard to repair, but also increase CV Kaga's repair time to 143 days (from ~92) if Kaga stays at Yokohama. Kaga and CA Tone will move to Tokyo (RSY = 40) or Hiroshima (RSY = 100).

Captured only 2 days later than historical, which can be expected since I played Malaya close to historically.
Unfortunately, resource, light industry, and heavy industry are all trashed to 1. The repair shipyard was totally trashed to ZERO. LI will be repaired to 10 (yeah, I know, it's a waste of supply); HI will be repaired to about 20; and the RSY to at least 30.

Five Brit CLs bombarded Tavoy, doing very little damage; then one of our subs put a torpedo in CL Danae leaving.

Your losses might have been worse had he not put the slow (25 kt.) Adelaide in the TF. Your TF probably broke away earlier because of that.

Having determined that CV Kaga would require 143 days in the Tokyo shipyard, it will move to Kobe via a coastal route with substantial escort.

Ha-43 engines advanced research from Sep to Aug '45; Ha-44 engines advanced research from May to Apr '43.

The area around Changsha in China has been static as we await the arrival of the 22nd and 15th Divisions at Pingsiang. The Chinese units one hex east of Changsha have been retreated to Changsha, but one unit has moved back into this hex to again block the advance into Changsha. I'll grind them down one corps at a time, if that what he offers!

Elements of 5th Division at Singapore began loading transports for northern (western) Sumatra. Two carrier divisions are ready to depart Georgetown to suppress Allied air power in southern Burma. 4th and 18th Divisions will follow from Singapore as transports become available.

In the South Pacific, 1st Division is resting at Rabaul while it prepares to take Milne Bay; 16th Division is on transports that had been diverted toward Wake Is. just in case, and is now headed for Buna while somewhat prepared for Port Moresby.

Wake Is. and Singapore were cleared of mines.

Feb 22, 1942

It sounded like 2 Allied ships somewhere hit mines (combat report shows it was 2 different PT boats, both at Milne Bay; one of them was later sunk by a Betty from 20,000 feet).

CV Kaga has arrived at Kobe and will require 90 days in the shipyard (4 system, 13 flotation, 21 engine damage). Seems long to me, but what do I know?

At Pingsiang, forts were reduced to zero -

US cruisers bombarded the Japanese troops at Dutch Harbor. The Americans have been attacking at Dutch Harbor every few days, with little success (although killing off Japanese troops and supply) -

That's all of significance for today. 4th Division is on transports heading up the peninsula toward Tavoy/Moulmein. I'd like to land them at Moulmein, but that's not possible with British combatants lurking in the area. Our battleships at Mergui are not fully armed (AKEs are enroute) and our carriers at Singapore have another 2 days of repair. Once these ships are ready we'll try to clear out the Brits for a landing. Imperial Guard and 56th Div are at Singapore ready to invade Java, but have insufficient transports.

You can load CAs and DDs in a fast transport then include them in the invasion TF. The same with PBs. Even if they are only loaded with supplies, every bit helps.

Yeah, I use the 1000 supply PBs almost exclusively as fast transport. My problem is my naval forces are not concentrated enough for an overwhelming strike. Akagi and 3 CVLs are operating around Rabaul supporting transports into Buna and Lae. Kaga is in repair for ~3 months; the others are at Singapore. BBs are spread out, too, with 2 at Mergui, several at or near Rabaul, and 2 in Japan for longer term fixes. I need to get all this over to support the invasion of Java.

I tried to sneak the fragment of 1st Raiding Rgt into Dutch Harbor (rather than airdrop, which would cause a shock attack), but since the Allies have basically all the battleships of Pacific Fleet operating in the Aleutians, that move was blocked -

If you own Dutch Harbor, you can airlift troops in and they will not attack.

Bases captured today: Pare Pare, Nadzab, and Medan (REF 198(2), OIL 208(2))

The Rufe research facility at Maebashi reached 30(0) and was converted to A6M5.

Our BB Fuso/Hyuga TF having rearmed from 2 recently arrived AKEs at Mergui, escorted the 4th Division amphib TF to Tavoy to unload. British Albacore aircraft from Rangoon bombed (not torpedoed) both battleships, but the hits didn't appear to do any damage.

Prince of Wales and Repulse are still loitering off Moulmein. Carrier divisions 2 and 3 (Shokaku, Zuikaku, Hiryu, and Soryu), under Nagumo, sortie from Singapore and hope to surprise the Brits. The TF is light on Vals, but has a full complement of Zeroes and Kates.

The Japanese carriers are undetected; the Japanese BB TF at Tavoy is 10/10. If the Brits attack our BBs at Tavoy using fast movement they can probably retire north out of range of the carriers, except any ships that are heavily damaged. If they venture further south the carriers will be in range to attack. All Japanese subs in the area will converge on the Brit TF. With the Royal Sovereign taking a torpedo on the 7th, I suspect that the Brits may retire north. Or that BB could be detached to retire while the other proceed (to where)?

Tarakan oil has been fully repaired (to 90). Ha-35 engine inventory has reached 500. Rufe research at Hamamatsu and Osaka has reached 30(0) and has been converted to A6M5. The last Rufe facility at Tsu will build 30 Rufes per month starting April 1.

More to come when the turn comes back.

Edit to add:

The Allies are either getting exceptional intel about Japanese TF movements/locations, or they are exceptionally lucky. An Allied cruiser TF attacked transports at Buna attempting to evacuate 7 Tk Rgt (future part of 1 Tank Div). Then, 2 CVs (based on aircraft numbers involved) moved to within a hex of Gasmata and attacked multiple Japanese TFs at Rabaul, Kavieng, and surrounding waters. Many, many transports were sunk, all empty at the time. A Japanese CV TF had been operating in this area until 2 days ago; could that have been his objective? And even though the US TF is only 5 hexes from Rabaul, the Nells and Betties there, loaded with torpedoes, and given a naval attack mission DID NOT FLY!

As small consolation, a sub put a second torpedo in BB Royal Sovereign near Ramree Is. The hoped for ambush in the Andaman Sea shown in post #116 did not happen as the Brits cleared out. The BB is shown as sunk, but IMO that's doubtful.

Japanese troops arrived at Merak to unload. The base is Japanese controlled as it flipped some time ago and was never recaptured by the Dutch.
