6 Sept 1942

Thailand and Burma
A large surface task force with 3 battleships bombarded Moulmein, damage was surprisingly light but many aircraft were disabled.

He's got about 200 fighters hanging out in Bangkok now. Which leaves little in many other places.

More paratroops landed up the coast at Cox's Bazaar, the furthest west they've gone so far. Three transports were shot down.

Sumatra
Albacores attempted another attack, with Fulmars flying escort this time. The Zeroes didn't care, they got through the Fulmars and shot down 3 Albacores. But, the group was divided into 2 parts and the Zeroes didn't spot the second until after at attacked and scored a hit on a cargo ship.

CENTPAC
The KB is hanging out between Canton and Baker islands, and bombed Canton again. I've got subs headed to that area to try to get a lucky hit.

Reinforcements and Withdrawals
The damaged Tasker Bliss finally arrived at San Fransisco to be officially withdrawn, 19 days overdue. The other ship's going to be late too, it's due in 3 days and it's only in the Canton Island area.

SC-742 arrives at Balboa
Fifth USAAF arrives at Brisbane
223rd USN Base Force arrives at San Francisco
34th Australian Lt AA Regiment arrives at Sydney
26th Indian Mountain Gun Regiment arrives at Madras
268th Motorised Brigade arrives at Aden

The thought occurred to me that I've let the KB disrupt my logistics operations for too long. I'm going to resume troops movements to Australia, beginning immediately with a division and 2 regiments.
