I-16, 18, 20, 22, 24の5つはSSXとともにMidget Sub Carrier TFをつくることができます。史実のシドニー攻撃のように、SSXをどこかの港に忍び込ませて港内の艦船を攻撃するのが目的になります。これまでに何度かこのMidget Sub Carrier TFを行動させましたが、SSXを搭載している母艦潜水艦が連合軍艦船を攻撃したことは一度もありませんでした。SSXを抱えていると攻撃はしないものなのかと思っていましたが、そうではないことが判明しました。
昭和16年12月29日、SSXによるコロンボ港攻撃に向けて航海中のI-18がアンダマン諸島西方沖でFiji級 CL Mauritius (tonnage 8530, VP 34)を雷撃しました。2本命中してあっさり沈没。開戦初日のプリンスオブウエールズもレパルスも、12月21日に雷撃した空母ハーミーズも実は沈んでいないようです。したがって、これまでのところ真珠湾攻撃以外では大型の戦闘艦を一隻も沈めることができていなかったのですが、ようやくCLを沈めることができました。ついで、近くにいたI-160もvan Oranje級 CM Prins van Oranje (tonnage 1291, VP 2)を撃沈しました。I-160には護衛されていたxAPの方を狙って欲しかったのですが、CMがしっかり護衛の仕事を果たしたということですね。
ダッチハーバーの東隣のヘクスにはやはりSSXを搭載しているI-24がいました。ダッチハーバー港内襲撃のために派遣したのですが、派遣したことを忘れてこのヘクスで9ターン潜伏することになってしまっていました。今日はそこに連合軍のコンボイが通りかかりました。I-24は1ターンになんと4回も攻撃して、Harriman Cargo級 xAK Katrina Luckenbach (tonnage 4990, VP 10)とTrans Marine級 xAK Trento (tonnage 3050, VP 6)とC2 cargo級 xAK Mount McKinley (tonnage 6030, VP 12)の3隻の撃沈に成功しました。コンバットリポートにはVehicles lostとかGuns lostとか報告されているので、ダッチハーバーに守備隊を輸送していたのは間違いありません。この3隻だけのコンボイだったという確証があれば、ダッチハーバー攻略も考えたくなってしまうところですが、はっきりしないので無理はしないことにしました。
1ターンで2隻沈めた潜水艦はこれまでにもありましたが、3隻の戦果は初めてです。SSXを搭載したままでも攻撃してくれることが判明したので、もっと積極的にMidget Sub Carrier TFを利用しようと思います。また今日は、シドニー東方沖でI-1がBurns/Union級 xAP Nairana (tonnage 3550, VP 8)を撃沈し、合計6隻の戦果でした。でも、日本側もボルネオ東岸マカッサル海峡でGozan cargo級 xAK Taihei Maru (tonnage 2375, VP 4)がTarakanからのDo-24K-1の300kg爆弾で沈没。また、昨日、ボルネオ北西岸のJesseltonにTarakanからのSwordfishに500ポンド爆弾を2発命中したAden Cargo級 xAK Seizan Maru (tonnage 4875, VP 10)と、やはり昨日ボルネオ東岸マカッサル海峡でTarakanからのDo-24K-1の300kg爆弾が命中したDaigen Cargo級 xAKL Assam Maru (tonnage 1650, VP 3)も沈没していて、合計3隻の被害。いまのところコンボイの攻撃には、日本側は潜水艦が、連合軍はB-17や蘭印の基地からのSwordfishが活躍しています。
また今日29日にはシンガポールとポートモレスビーで初めての陸戦を仕掛けました。マレー半島の状況はこんな感じです。Mersingに4th Division、21st Division、33rd Division、Imperial Guards Division、2nd Divisionと順次上陸し、一番先に上陸した第4師団はMersingの西のヘクス経由で、その他の4個師団はジョホールバル経由でまっすぐ南下し、今日ジョホール水道を渡りました。5個師団もいればちっとはましな攻撃ができるかと期待していました。しかし渡河によるshock attackを余儀なくされ、assault oddsは1対2。連合軍の死傷者3618名に対して、日本側は7382名で、disruption 90前後、fatigue 60前後とさんざんな結果でした。まだマラッカが確保できていないので、マレー半島を南下してきた部隊の多くがクアラルンプールで足止め中です。これらの部隊がシンガポールに到着するのを待って、一週間後くらいに再攻撃の予定です。
12月25日にポートモレスビーに上陸した144th Infantry RegimentとSasebo 2nd SNLFですが、上陸に伴うdisruptionとfatigueの低下をまって、今日攻撃をしてみました。結果はassault odds 1対3で、連合軍の死傷者91名に対して、日本側は1209名と惨敗でした。RA modでは開戦時、タウンズビルにオーストラリア軍1個旅団を載せたコンボイがいます。相手の方はこの一個旅団をポートモレスビーに増援することを選択したので、素のグランドキャンペーンに比較してポートモレスビーは攻略が難しくなっています。こうなるかなとも思っていたので、香港を攻略した第38師団を輸送中で、いまパラオのあたりを通過中です。今日の攻撃によるdisruptionとfatigueの回復と38師団の到着を待ってから攻略することになりそうです。他方、ソロモン諸島はショートランド、ツラギ、ルンガを確保して滑走路と港の拡張工事中です。
