RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 2 Jan 42: USAFFE Offensive??!

Post by el cid again »

Never mind Manila is invested by 14th Army, USAFFE has gone on the offensive
in Northern Luzon - capturing Balinta Pass a few days ago (with the Camp John
Hay Column - which still holds it) - from a pocket on the East Coast - and from
Bataan. The air base at Clark is in full defensive mode!

Otherwise, we have landings on Fiji!

At least technically, both sides are on the offensive! Darby seems to like an offensive defensive writ large. His troops in China are jumping on lines of communications. His troops on Luzon are investing Clark, after capturing Balinta Pass and trying to capture the hex between them. Today his surface ships attack ground units on Mindinao and New Guinea. Never mind, the Japanese landed at a second point on Fiji, airlanded at several points in Burma, and are sweeping rapidly South in Malaya. The odds are they will clean up Luzon and China in a matter of days.

RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 8 Jan 42: Actions off Noumea!

Post by el cid again »

In spite of the title, there were widespread actions and multiple invasions.
The landings at and near Noumea are simply new, and involving very large forces.
Two landings on Fiji have resulted in Suva being invested today, with recon indicating
only about a battalion of defenders. Since a brigade and a naval battalion are already present, and a large naval garrison force is walking in, no trouble is expected reducing it rapidly. A brigade level landing at Port Moresby failed in its second assault - not able to gain odds or reduce fortifications. Apparently Lark battalion and other units managed to reinforce its original, weak brigade. Elements of the division which captured Lae and Wau are moving to reinforce. The SNLF that captured Kieta, on Bougainville, yesterday is reloading for another landing today - it being faster to move by sea than to march around the island (combined with its peculiar
geography - Buka is part of Bougainville techinically - but there is still a 300 meter
wide channel between what is de facto two islands). Minor battles are happening in Malaya - mainly for the LOC - which ironically was completely cut by retreating units yesterday in the main case - and which in the secondary case has never been captured because some minor unit elected to march deep into the jungle where there are no roads along the minor RR. Still - the enemy - land, sea and air - seems to have almost disappeared in Malaya. The same situation exists in Malaya - the rail net has been captured from Ye to one hex South of Mandalay. But an early airlanding at
the oil town Magwe still has a stranded airborne battalion - and an enemy unit from Mandalay is marching in over a primary road. Another JAAF (airborne in IJA belong to the air force) battalion is marching in to relieve it from the East - having captured a minor RR junction - but needs at least three days to walk in. So a somewhat desperate fight is going on in this area. Also - there must be planes somewhere in Malaya - they conducted a successful riverine attack in Thailand - at the 100 foot level - entirely ignoring the presence of CAP! Luzon has gone from crisis to mop up - but Manila will not be taken until the 14th Army is able to re-concentrate. In China, there is a very mixed bag of successful overland drives and many fights for the LOC. In the deep South, it is hard to tell who is on the offensive - the South bank of the Pearl River is being divested of attackers in spite of recapture of Chao Ch'ing yesterday. In spite of that, enemy units are threatening both flanks - and the 23rd Army is wholly diverted from its goal of moving upriver in favor of a 100% effort to hold its nominal area of control! Rail lines to Wuhan - both NE to Kaifeng and NW to Tainmen were cleared yesterday - but there are no less than six enemy held hexes in the Yellow River plain area - some in swamp or forest - one on a formerly captured town - all the focus of counter operations taking vast numbers of troops from the nominal main drive on Sian. The unexpectedly successful direct route to Sian - along a minor RR to its East - about to break out into open country - finds its LOC threatened at two points - drawing units to try to counter this using secondary road movement. In the far North, the enemy investment of Paotow is finally challenged today. Not to be left out, both Manchukuo and Korea have had to mount unexpected counter offensives against "bandits"! These are the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the NE Anti-Japanese Army which were able to avoid detection in mountains - in spite of air search (we knew they were out there somewhere). Both walked into Japanese positions and the important hydro power and mining area of Chosin was captured without a fight yesterday! [That unit is led by Major Kim Il Sung FYI]

RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 9 Jan 42: Suva Falls!

Post by el cid again »

This headline should have read "Noumea Falls!" but does not because
an entire IJA division failed to attack. Not to be outdown, a three regiment
"brigade" division one hex NW, at La Foa, also failed to attack - and it has
no opposition! So the Japanese lose a day in the conquest of the territory.

Post by el cid again »

The IJA is fighting for its LOC as well as advancing offensives on Sian,
in Central and South China, in Malaya. Its drives on Port Moresby and
Noumea are at least momentarily stalled. It managed finally to make good
a failed airlanding at Magwe, Burma today - after a long series of air
strikes gutted the local defense battalion.

RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 12 Jan 42: A Mess East of Sian!

Post by el cid again »

On the minor RR East of Sian (it joins the main line
at the Tungkwang junction) NRA (ROC) forces have
put entire corps across the IJA LOC. This because
they failed to stop the drive which is now in open country
East of Sian and NE of Tungkwang. This may be an
interesting campaign.

RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 12 Jan 42: A Mess East of Sian

Post by el cid again »

On the minor RR East of Sian (it joins the main line
at the Tungkwang junction) NRA (ROC) forces have
put entire corps across the IJA LOC. This because
they failed to stop the drive which is now in open country
East of Sian and NE of Tungkwang. This may be an
interesting campaign.

Two reports below. The Allied situation is unknown - these are Japanese reports.

File 001 replay File 003 Allied orders before combat File 008 Allied situation after combat

Apart from losing the Tennessee to several task groups hunting her (she could barely move and lost floatation moving at "full speed" during the night), a heavy enemy raiding group including three battleships showed up at the "strategic airfield" at Merauke, New Guinea - NW of the Torres Strait - an area utterly lacking in the assets needed to track, never mind engage such a force. So few planes were searching there is no track on it at the end of the turn.

Post by el cid again »

The IJA is seriously stalled in its nominal drive on Sian - unable to
take any of the approaches. The most serious, down a minor RR line,
is now in danger of being cut off from supplies - although air
and river vessels have prevented this from being fatal so far -
because of two incursions along the long LOC - one of them likely
to wipe out a division sent to "clean it up."

RE: RHS Test 10BRAVO: 28 Jan 42 Battles in China

Post by el cid again »

IJA marches on Liuchow ("the corner" of the RR in South China) while NRA (ROC) moves SE in force from Kukong - possibly intending to turn due West for Canton - and attempts to wipe out the isolated IJA force at Tungkwang. IJA has substantially lost the battle for the narrow gage RR LOC East of Sian - which is why their spearhead is isolated - and major forces are either tied up in the major cities of the NW Yellow River plain or walking out from chasing units all over it to wipe them out.
