ルーガンビルに続いて2月5日にはEfateを占領し、この方面へのヌーメアからの圧力を緩和するために艦砲射撃TFを南下させていました。この艦砲射撃TFは2月6日に連合軍哨戒機にみつかってしまいました。みつかってしまうと、ヌーメアにいた陸上機をどこか別の基地に避難されてしまうだろうことと、連合軍空母の脅威があることの二つに鑑み、予定していた艦砲射撃を取りやめようかとも考えました。きっと、木村昌福さんのような司令官なら中止するのでしょうが、こちらの部下は戦死を厭わない電子の兵隊たちなので、実施することにしました。
ヌーメアのヘクスには機雷が敷設してあって、DD疾風が触雷してしまいました。艦砲射撃の戦果もAirbase hits 8、Airbase supply hits 1、Runway hits 20、Port hits 2。Port supply hits 2と大したことはなく、案の定、連合軍戦闘機を破壊することができませんでした。死傷者216名の内訳を見ると、破壊されたりdisabledになったdeviceはNon Combat、Engineer、Gun、Vehicleばかりで、Squadは含まれていませんでした。一個聯隊程度を上陸させれば充分に占領できそうです。
昭和17年2月7日、やはり連合軍の空母が出撃してきました。触雷で一隻だけ2ヘクスほど後落していたDD疾風にドーントレス17機の空襲がありました。ある程度以上の損傷のある艦船は煙を上げていたりするのですが、コンバットアニメーションに登場したDD疾風は煙を上げてはいませんでした。触雷による浸水被害だけだと外観からは損傷の有無が分からないってことでしょうか？損傷が少なければ爆弾をかわしやすいDDだし助かるかなとも思ったのですが、急降下爆撃による爆弾が一発命中して沈没しまいました。艦砲射撃を行ったTF本隊の方も連合軍空母から距離6ヘクスで、しかもDL10/11と表示されていますから、空襲を受けてもおかしくない状況でした。ただ、日頃の行いのおかげか、空襲はやってきませんでした。
駆逐艦一隻を犠牲にして、さらに運が悪ければもっと多数の艦に被害が出たかもしれず、無謀だったと反省しています。こういう艦砲射撃を実施するのなら、連合軍空母の出現予想位置を攻撃圏内に含むような位置に機動部隊を配置して、艦砲射撃部隊を囮にして連合軍空母に空襲をかけられるようにすべきでした。機動部隊がツラギに燃料補給に戻っている最中にすべきことではなかったですね。
もう一つ、今日学んだ小ネタを一つ。昨日、サプライを積載したxAK China Maruと護衛のPB Sonan Maru #5とPB Kyo Maru #6の3隻からなるAmphib TFをツラギからルーガンビルに向けて出港させました。Amphibious TFにしたのは、ルーガンビルの港の規模が1しかなく、Cargo TFより荷下ろしが早いはずだからです。残念なことにツラギから2ヘクス南下したところで、xAK China MaruがSS Porpoiseの攻撃を受け、魚雷が一本命中してしまったのでした。
魚雷の被害を受けたxAK China MaruとPBのうちの1隻Sonan Maru #5は自動的にEscort TFに編成され、その行き先はラバウルに設定されました。元々のAmphib TFの母港はトラックにしてあったのですが、トラックまでは遠く、このあたりで修理能力が最も高いラバウルに行くようにシステムが判断したのだと思います。幸い、Sys 28, Flt 44(34), Eng 26 (19), Fir 1の被害なので、沈まずに済みそうではあります。3隻のうちのもう一隻、PB Kyo Maru #6はAmphib TFに編成されたままなのですが、サプライを積載していたxAKが被雷してAmphib TFから外れて、ルーガンビルにサプライを輸送するという任務を実行できなくなったので、システムは母港に向かうよう指示していました。
トラックに向かわせるにしろ、このPB一隻だけのTFがAmphib TFというのは変だな、潜水艦に攻撃されることを考えるとASW TFにでもしておいた方が都合がいいのではと思って、TFの種類を変更しようとしました。ところが、選択枝にASW TFがないのです。不思議に思ってPB Kyo Maru #6の現状をみてみると搭載している爆雷の数が0になっていました。ラバウルからツラギにかけては連合軍の潜水艦がたくさんいて、いつか憶えていませんが対潜戦闘で使ってしまったのでしょう。まだツラギにはAKEが2隻いるのですが、補給し忘れて出港させてしまったようです。ともかく、爆雷の数が0だとASW TFを選択できない仕様になっているものと思われます。これは、マニュアルには記載がなく、初めて気づいた仕様です。
でも、疑問は残ります。このヘクスには輸送船もタンカーも空母もAVもいません。それでもCargoやAir TransportやTanker TFを選択できるのに、爆雷の数が0だからといってASW TFが選択できないのは、親切なのかお節介なのかよくわからない仕様です。あと、もし両用砲を含めた艦砲や機銃の弾薬の数が0だと水上戦闘TFを選択できなかったりするんでしょうか？また、搭載機が0の空母だけだとAir Combat TFに編成できないんでしょうか。 エディターをいじれる人ならこういうあたりはすぐに自分で検証できるんでしょうが、私はいじれないので謎です。
