But thank you for reading and commenting.
BTW I see you are in Denver too. We might meet some time for an adult beverage.

Day 1
広島
“How did your date go?” Yamashita asked his aide.
“It was interesting. A person, I don’t know his name, gave me some information. It may help us manage production, perhaps. In any case, I am restarting production of the Ha 32 and Ha 35 engines.”
“How come?”
“The extra engines are needed for aircraft development.
Yamashita nods and asks: “How is the heavy industry coming along?”
“Supplies stand at 343,075 tons and growing.”
In Burma, it appears the enemy is withdrawing from Mandalay. An attack is ordered for the next day.
昭和 17 7月二日
Day 2
The twin engine bombers depart Rabaul at dawn. 26 G3M2 and 9 G4M1 with 19 A6M2 escorting fly off to the airfields at dawn. They arrive over Port Moresby and meet 11 Kittihawk fighters on patrol.
The dogfight is brief and nasty. One Kittyhawk destroyed. The zerosen fighters, needing to remain close to their charges suffer 3 losses but allow the bombers to strike. One Hamaki is destroyed by the AA guns but, in the bay, Light cruiser Sunatra takes one torpedo hit and her consort, DeRuyter shakes under two direct impacts.
And that is not all.
12 G3M2 appear, unescorted, and barrel into the bay. Sumatra takes one more torpedo. 12 G4M1 show up and score one final torpedo on the light cruiser that sends her to the bottom.
24 Hamaki come in and score one hit on APD Gray sinking her.
5 more bombers, escorted this time by 12 fighters sweep into the bay and hit a transport, xAP Hong Kheng with a single torpedo.
The last raid by 13 cigars fails to score.
At Mandalay, the attack reduces fortifications to second level.

Day 5
The pilots of KB 二, usually deprived of the glory that their big brother captures, are today in a great mood. The second strike force, sent as no more than symbolic cover for the operations against Macassar find instead a bunch of unescorted ships that fall to the bombs of the B5N1: xAK Wing Snag, 3 bomb hits, AG Ban Hong Lion BH5 and sunk, xAK Eripuna BH 4. The young pilots count coup and sake flows freely in the airman’s lounge.

Day 6
Nagato, Fuso, Ise and Hyuga enter Makassar bay and sink a bunch of auxiliary boats. Anticlimiatic though it may be, it opens the way for the occupation of Makassar. If only there were base forces nearby to take advantage of this…

Day 8
広島
The Imperial Japanese Army and The Imperial Japanese Navy consider each other as the other armed arm of the empire and, following the teachings of a western guru whose doctrines are frowned upon, they both follow the rule that the right hand should not know what the left is doing.
The only department that knows exactly what is going on, down to the last nut, bolt and ball of rice is the one headed by Yamashita Carl. We could argue that only Yamashita, Kobayashi and their multirole assistant Hattori, actually knew on any given day how the war was going.
Today they know that Macassar fell yesterday but that the victory is hollow since there are no base forces nearby that can take over the occupation of the base. A full division, needed elsewhere, sits waiting for relief and playing baseball with coconuts.
They also read the report that Homma has landed the 65th brigade at Cebu as part of his operation Pancit (Who names a military operation after some occupied land’s noodles?) Also his request for additional shipping to help him secure the islands before the joint operation against Mindanao.
Hattori demands more and more hulls to transport resources to the home islands and those hulls must be found if heavy industry is not to ground to a halt.
In China urgent request for fuel from some of the heavy industry centers there. It appears that no more fuel may be pulled out of Port Arthur anymore…

Cebu fell on the ninth. A small victory for Homma.
Overshadowed by an event, far away.
Off Truk
An enemy torpedo, for once does not dud. CV Hiyo shudders from the explosion in her innards. Fortunately she is close to Truk and steams into the harbor under her own power.
Systems damage minimal, float 37 and engines 10.
In Rabaul 2 sentais of Ki 43 Ic Hayabusa unload and prepare to enter the air battles over New Guinea.
