10 September 42
Philippine Sea
We hit pay dirt in a suspected outlet of a shallow water route through the Philippines, terminating at Legaspi. The O23 torpedoed a cargo ship moving through here, following up its initial hit with a 2nd salvo that added 2 more hits and finished it off.
Malaya
The army the attempted to break the siege has made it back to Singapore. The enemy didn't cancel their bomber raids on them and ended up losing at least 3 planes to flak.
New Britain
3rd raid on Rabaul in this series, this one didn't go so well. We lost 2 P-38s to 1 Nick and inflicted minimal damage. There were also 11 Oscars defending the base this time. The poor service rating of the P-38s is having an impact. Yesterday it was 15 P-38s vs 10 Nicks, today it was 11 P-38s vs 19 Nicks (plus the Oscars), so even though yesterday's losses were even, he's outnumbering me due to quicker maintenance.
China
Foochow, another base opposite Taiwan, has been liberated.
