Myitkyinaには空襲が続いています。 昭和18年4月3日、5波のsweepに加えて、四発爆撃機33機、双発爆撃機66機、急降下爆撃機12機からなる6波にわたる爆撃がありました。死傷者27名(Squads 1とNon Combat 2がdisabled)と、 Airbase hits 2、Airbase supply hits 2、Runway hits 55との被害でしたが、 来襲した爆撃機の数を考えると少なくて済んだと感じます。また、珍しく対空砲火でB-25C Mitchellを1機撃墜することができました。連合軍側は一昨日のdeliberate attackの結果をみて、もっと陸上兵力を増強する必要を感じているとのことで、英軍と中国軍部隊がMyitkyina方向に向けて移動中です。私は一昨日の陸戦結果をかなり悲観的に受け止めていたのですが、同じ数字でも、別の側から見るとまったく違った印象になるようです。
南陽の2ヘクス西で日中両軍部隊が対峙しています。図のようにこのヘクスのヘクスサイドはすべて赤い線で示されていて、日本側が支配しています。すべてのヘクスサイドを敵が支配している状態でサプライ補給が可能な仕様でしょうか？このヘクスで対峙を始めてからかなりの時間が経過しているので、もしサプライ補給が不可能ならすでにサプライ切れになっているはず。deliberatea attackをしてみれば分かるのですが、中国軍部隊の方が数がずっと多いので踏み切れていません。かわりに、中国のサプライの在庫を減らすためにあちこち爆撃しています。昨日は宜昌を爆撃しました。漢口から3ヘクスと近いので爆弾をたくさん積んでゆけたからかも知れませんが、 132機のKi-49-IIa Helenの爆撃でAirbase supply hits 19と大漁でした。以前Airbase supply hitsのサプライ破壊量というエントリーで書いたように、250kg爆弾一発で平均150トンのサプライを破壊できるとすると、今回の宜昌爆撃は2850トンのサプライ破壊になります。南陽の2ヘクス西の中国軍がサプライを供給されているとすればこの宜昌からでしょうから、連合軍にそれなりのダメージを与えたのではと思います。
Ki-61-Id TonyのR&Dが奏功して生産開始が昭和19年2月からになりました。 Ki-61-Id Tonyのラインは岐阜に22と30のものがあります。428ターンにすでに1ヶ月早まっていて、いま484ターンですから、98.8機(=(484-427)x(22+30)/30)生産したことになります。今後、あと2ヶ月の促進は確実で、3ヶ月促進できるかどうかは微妙といった感じです。
