フィンシュハーフェンで5隻が沈没


昭和17年6月3日、ニューギニア島北東端のフィンシュハーフェンでサプライを陸揚げしていた2つのFast Transport TFが、ポートモレスビーから飛来した2波合計で47機のA-24 Bansheeに急降下爆撃を受けました。CM Okinoshima、APD Yugao、APD Tachikaze、APD Okikaze、APD Yakazeの5隻が沈没して、史実より9ヶ月も早いダンピール海峡の悲劇になってしまいました。
これまでにも、昭和16年12月10日にボルネオで1隻、昭和17年1月30日にルーガンビルで5隻、2月20日にルーガンビルからの帰途に3隻、5月12日にニューブリテン島Araweで2隻のAPDが爆撃により沈没しているので、合計15隻のAPDを失ったことになります。残りは14隻しかなく、兵員輸送に支障を来しそうです。APDへの改装はDD 神風、峰風、若竹級に限っていましたが、DD 睦月級もAPDへの改装を始めました。
その後、ブナでは連合軍地上部隊による攻撃が行われましたが、修正AV 279対311、Allied assault odds: 1 to 2 (fort level 3)で防衛に成功しました。日本側の死傷者551名、連合軍側557名と拮抗していますが、歩兵でdisabledになったものが日本側は24分隊だったのに対して連合軍側は95分隊と多く、ジャングルの中で過ごしている連合軍部隊には疲労もたまっているようです。増援の連合軍地上部隊はまだポートモレスビーのヘクスなので、まだ一週間くらいは大丈夫。
ただ、問題なのはサプライの状況です。2万トン以上のサプライを集積してあったポートモレスビーを奪われてしまったため、ニューギニアの日本軍はサプライの補給に苦しんでいます。ブナには3913名の戦闘員と11966名の後方要員が駐屯していて、Fortifcationの増強工事中です。Fortificationは連合軍が見逃してくれればあと10日で4になるので、工事を中止したくはないところ。そんなこんなでブナのSupply Requiredは2579トンもあるのに、3525トンしか在庫がありません。
ラバウル、カビエン、ショートランドから輸送機でサプライをブナやラエやフィンシュハーフェンに空輸していますが、日本の所有する輸送機の数では焼け石に水状態(出発地を分散させてあるのは、艦砲射撃や爆撃で一挙に輸送機が損失しないようにするため。輸送先を分散させてあるのはサプライズ的にLRCAPをしてくることが予想されるからです)。A-24 Bansheeはnormal radiusが7ヘクスあるので、ポートモレスビーからだとMadangまでが攻撃圏内になって、貨物船での輸送は無理な相談です。そこでFast Transport TFをつかってみたのですが...マニュアルの6.2.5 MISSION TYPES AND THEIR IMPACT ON MOVEMENTには
ある種の任務のTFは、夜になるまで待機し、夜陰に紛れてフルスピードで進入し、任務が終わり次第またフルスピードで帰還する。敵の空からの脅威のない味方の港を目的地とするのでないFast Transport TFはそれにあたる。
という旨が書かれてあります。「任務が終わり次第またフルスピードで帰還する」という点が重要なようで、サプライをすべて降ろしきらないと出港しないわけですね。フィンシュハーフェンの悲劇を繰り返さないためにも、これは肝に銘じておかないと。でもできれば、夜のうちに降ろせるだけ降ろして、明るくなる前に逃げ出す仕様にして欲しかった。マニュアルの6.3.3.2.4 SHIP AND PORT LOAD ABILITY TABLEには揚塔のスピードの表と説明がのせられていて、
表の2-6列は艦船一隻あたり、1フェーズ(12時間)あたりの、積荷の種類ごとの揚塔スピードを示している。最後の二つの列には一日あたりの港の最大揚塔可能量を示している。これらの数値は、Naval Supportがいない、港の施設に被害のない港でのものだ。Fast Transportの行の揚塔スピードは 港にないヘクスでFast Transport TFが揚塔を行う時のものだ。潜水艦による輸送は、この艦種で揚塔を行う際の困難を反映していて、またある一日に港で搭載任務を実施できる潜水艦の数には制限がある。ダメージのない港での燃料と原油の揚塔速度は同一だが、ダメージを受けた港では若干異なる。これらの数値の単位はload pointになっている。
と書かれています。Fast Transport TFの揚陸のスピードはTroopもCargoも100となっています。ただこれは港のないヘクスに適用されるものということですね。フィンシュハーフェンの港の規模は1でダメージがありませんから、12時間でTroopなら325 load point、サプライなどのcargoなら100 load point揚陸できることになるのでしょう。今回沈められたCM 沖ノ島級のCargo Capacityは350で、APD 峰風級とAPD 若竹級のCargo Capacityはともに150です。6月2日にラバウルを出港し8ヘクスを航海してフィンシュハーフェンに到着すると、CMだけでなくAPDも夜のうちに150トンのサプライ全量を揚陸しきれないのはやむを得なかったようです。
駆逐艦改装のAPDのCargo Capacityはどれも150(最初からAPDとして建造される一等輸送艦Type 1 LSI/APDは200)なので、安全にサプライを輸送するにはCargo Capacityが75や100の駆逐艦をつかうべきなんでしょうか?だとすると睦月級をAPDに改装し始めたのは失敗だったかな。検証が必要な気がしますが、残念ながら私にはサンドボックスシナリオを作る能力がありません。
