La Rose de Toyo II - interdit a Bombee

[Elvis]

Comment est gérée l'entrée en guerre de l'ours ?
Déclaration de guerre automatique en août 45 ?

oui sauf si
- j attaque le 1er...
- je dégarnis trop les armées en garnison en Mandchourie (avec moins de 8,000 points de force) ce qui inciterait les soviétiques à précipiter la guerre à cause de nos faibles défenses... Mais bon, j ai 9,000 points de force donc pas de risque de ce coté là...

Apres près d un an de travaux, le Chitose, et son sistership, le Chiyoda quitte le port de Tokyo pour renforcer notre groupe aéronaval à Guam.
Le Chitose et le Chiyoda étaient des portes-hydravion qui avaient été mis en chantier pour être converti en porte avion léger au printemps 1943
Ils peuvent emporter chacun une 30aine d appareils mais ils restent très vulnérables car ni leur pont ni leur coque n ont été renforcé pour résister aux bombes et torpilles en case d affrontement avec l US Navy....

Afin d éviter de plonger les pilotes US de l ennui, l état major ennemi basé à Rabaul décident de changer de cible en bombardant avec tous les moyens à leur disposition les quelques soldats japonais qui survivent toujours dans la jungle de nouvelle Bretagne, bien qu ils ne représentent depuis longtemps aucune menace...

Si nous avons suspendu les bombardements de la base aérienne de Chungking, nous maintenons les missions de supériorité aérienne au dessus de la capitale avec le 54th Sentai basé à Kweyang et ses 42 Ki-44 IIc Tojo
Et pour la 1ere fois depuis longtemps, les chasseurs chinois décident d intervenir en lancant une douzaine de P-40 en interception

Nous sommes habitués à de meilleurs ratio, surtout contre les pilotes US et britanniques en Birmanie...

Malgré l échec de leur précèdent raid, l US Air Force persiste dans les bombardements de nos positions défensives

Dans la nuit du 11 au 12 mars 1944, une petite flotte ennemie se présente devant les plages de Manus...
Les destroyers nettoient facilement les quelques mines qui protègent nos plages, et débutent les opérations de débarquement au petit matin
a cause du manque d artillerie, nous n opposons aucune résistance et laissons les GIs débarqués...
D ailleurs pas vraiment besoin d intervenir, car il semblerait qu il y ait pas mal de chaos dans les rangs ennemis, surtout dans les unités de soutien, qui n ont sans doute pas été préparées pour le débarquement
(je me demande pourquoi Bombee fait toujours débarquer ses unités de soutien aérien en même temps que les opérations d invasion, alors qu elles n ont aucune valeur de combat et qu elles vont, en plus de gêner les opérations de débarquement, subir beaucoup de désorganisation...)

Nous n avons pas encore pu identifier les troupes ennemies débarquées à Manus, mais de toute évidence, il ne faudra pas grand chose pour prendre l ile...
La 85th Naval Guard Unit est complètement désorganisée et à court de supply
Il ne reste que 13 squads de combat opérationnels, ainsi que 8 mitrailleuses lourdes, un mortier de 81mm et un canon anti char de 37mm...




Pendant ce temps, nous réorganisons nos forces à Guam....
Les porte avions légers Chitose et Chiyoda viennent d arriver à leur nouveau port d attache et renforce notre groupe aéronaval
Dans me même temps, après avoir fait les réparations de fortune afin de colmater au mieux les voies d eau, le cuirassé Musachi et le porte avion léger Shoho appareillent sous forte escorte pour rejoindre le Japon où ils entreront en chantier de réparation...
(re : ces mouvements de flotte consomme de grandes quantités de fuel, et il ne reste que 23,000 tonnes de fuel à Guam, alors que nous y avons plus de 144 navires dans la rade dont tous nos porte avions et de nombreux cuirassés qui consomment énormément de carburant..)





Guam, nouvelle base opérationnelle de la Marine Impériale apres le retrait de Truk...
Contrairement à Truk, nous pourrons avoir une large base aérienne qui est en construction pour être agrandie
Idem pour le port également en construction, mais il est toujours trop petit pour assurer de larges opérations logistiques : Les quais trop courts et le manque d infrastructure ralentissent les opérations de déchargement, surtout pour les tankers qui viennent décharger leur cargaison de fuel..
Cela prend beaucoup de temps...
Enfin, les fortifications sont également en voie d achèvement et nous allons bientôt atteindre le lvl 8 : Plus de 13,000 fantassins, bien ravitaillés, sont prêts à recevoir les GIs et Marines si l envie leur prenaient de débarquer à Guam...






Enfin en Chine, nos bombardiers viennent se rappeler au bon souvenir des milliers de chinois qui se sont refugier depuis plus de 2 ans à Ichang, sorte de grand camp de prisonniers, administrés par les chinois eux même...
Nous les laissons en paix, sauf avec quelques bombardements de temps à autres, afin de détruire les dépôts de ravitaillement, et éviter qu ils ne se renforcent
Nous avons bien entendu renforcer nos positions sur tous les accès qui mènent à Ichang, au cas ou l ennemi tenterait une sortie...

Et il s en faut de peu pour que le 24th US régiment s empare de l ile, car nos hommes sont extenués, fatigués et à court de supply

Guam est un mauvais choix je le savais et je crains le pire

Mais positivons et restons optimistes , Le Japon va gagner cette guerre !

[Elvis]

Il y a du fuel en réserve à Guam ?

Il faut espérer, sinon, comment ravitailler les navires qui y vont ?

Oui j ai plusieurs tankers qui sont dédiés au ravitaillement de la base de Guam, ainsi que ma flotte de ravitaillement, avec plusieurs AO dont les soutes ont pleines de fuel...
Mais il est vrai que le port de Guam est trop petit et il faut énormément de temps pour décharger le fuel et supply destinés au bon fonctionnement de la base.......

Dans le meme temps, nous avons presque terminé le développement de la base de Babeldaob, juste à coté de Peleliu island, qui servira de principale base opérationnelle pour la Marine Impériale afin de couvrir les Philippines, et prévenir toutes opérations contre les Mariannes...
