また、CA足柄と那智主力のTFをパレンバンのヘクスに派遣しました。このTFの目的は、①上陸船団に先行してパレンバンへのアプローチとパレンバン自体のヘクスの機雷の有無を身をもってチェックすること、②パレンバンに艦砲射撃をすること、③艦砲射撃後はパレンバンのヘクスにとどまって上陸船団を援護することでした。組み込んであったDMS2隻のうちの1隻DMS W-2がパレンバンに向かう途中でSS KXに雷撃されて沈没しましたが、その後は触雷事故や機雷発見の報告はありませんでした。パレンバンへの艦砲射撃は、飛行機6機破壊と多数機に損害、死傷者675名、Airbase hits 17、Airbase supply hits 18、Runway hits 71と重巡2隻にしてはかなり効果がありました。ふつうの艦砲射撃と違って、艦砲射撃後にパレンバンのヘクスで上陸船団を護衛できるようRemain On Stationの設定にしてあり、昼間に砲撃が実施されたのでこんなに効果があったのでしょうか。もしそうなら、昼間の艦砲射撃の威力が判明したことだけでも大きな収穫です。今回、戦艦を艦砲射撃に送らなかったのは、触雷事故と油田に大きなダメージを与えるようなことになるのが嫌だったからなのですが、これだったら戦艦を送るべきでした(こう考えていたのですが、さっき戦艦に艦砲射撃させようとしたらできませんでした。ムシ川を遡上したところにあるパレンバンまで、戦艦ではたどり着けない仕様なのを忘れていました)。
パレンバンに上陸船団が近づくと、バタビアやOosthavenから5波の航空攻撃がありました。LRCAPが多少は落としてくれたことと、また攻撃が戦艦などの戦闘艦に集中したためか命中弾はなく、無傷で切り抜けることができました。しかしxAK Naruto Maruが SS Skipjackに雷撃され、 Sys 42, Flt 56, Eng 27, Fire 33の被害。そのほかにも魚雷の命中した艦船はありましたが、不発ばかりで助かりました。また上陸の際には、パレンバンに配備されていた75mm CD Gun Batteryの砲撃でxAK Arima MaruがSys 27, Flt 6, Eng 0, Fire 21、xAK Manila Maru Sys 6, Flt 3, Eng 0, Fire 99、xAK Melbourne Maru Sys 11, Flt 6, Eng 0, Fire 34の被害を受けました。上陸船団にはどれもCLを加えてありましたが、砲火をすべて吸収してくれるわけではないようです。
パレンバンにいるLCUのリストをみると、サプライの量が149098トンとなっています。こんなにたくさんのサプライを積載して来たはずはないのですが？？それは別にして、今日のところはだいたい3個師団相当の兵力を上陸させることができました。これに加えて、第38師団を載せた船団などが明日にはパレンバンに上陸できるところまで来ています。 DMSは1隻が沈没し、商船はxAK4隻が大被害を受けましたが、もっと大きな被害を受けることも覚悟していたので、おおむね満足です。この4個師団強の戦力ならなんとかパレンバンを攻略できるかなと思います。もしこれで足りなければ、ミンダナオ島の攻略を終えた第4師団がミンダナオ島北岸のButuan港へ向かっているので、これも連れてくるつもりです。
今日はほかにもスバの南でI-10がxAK Santa Teresaを撃沈したり、釜山港のACMが触雷事故を起こしたり、いろいろありました。
