桂林でP-38の待ち伏せにあう


昭和17年12月22日、今晩もまだMoonlight 100%でラバウルとマグエに夜間空襲がありました。ラバウルにはポートモレスビーから四発爆撃機7波46機(B-17F Fortress 6、B-24D Liberator 40)
が来襲し、二式水戦(A6M2-N Rufe) 6機とゼロ戦52型(A6M5b Zero) 17機が迎撃しました。飛行場にはAirbase hits 15とRunway hits 25と命中弾があり、今朝もサービス施設に19、滑走路に16のダメージが残っています。日本機は、二式水戦 4機とゼロ戦52型 7機が空戦で失われ、地上でも13機が破壊されました。

ビルマ中部のマグエには主にカルカッタから爆撃機7波60機(Liberator II 6、B-17E Fortress 14、B-24D Liberator 24、B-25C Mitchell 16)の空襲があり、二式戦(Ki-44-IIa Tojo) 28機と二式複戦(Ki-45 KAIa Nick) 16機が迎撃しました。飛行場には、Airbase hits 5、Airbase supply hits 2、Runway hits 8の命中弾があり、今朝も滑走路に6のダメージが残っています。日本機は、二式戦 13機と二式複戦 6機が空戦で失われれ、地上でも7機が破壊されました。

根拠地のインフォメーション画面の左下にはFlakという項目があります。今日爆撃されたラバウルとマグエはそれぞれ18と30になっています。この数値がその根拠地にある対空砲の門数と一致しているかどうかは知りませんが、配備されている高射砲の数はマグエの方が多いのは確かで、それを反映してかB-17E Fortressがマグエで対空砲に撃墜されています。四発爆撃機を対空砲で撃墜できるのは珍しい。

日本側は広東から桂林に昼間の空襲を計画していましたが、中国ではCAPがいることの方が稀なので リプレイでこの場面が映し出された途端、ゾッとしてしまいました。強敵P-38が43機(P-38F Lightning 20、P-38G Lightning 23)もいるんですから。この爆撃行は2波に分かれてしまって、第一波はこのように九七重爆(Ki-21-IIa Sally) 18機と百式重爆(Ki-49-IIa Helen) 32機に24機の護衛戦闘機がついていますが、第二波は九七重爆 16機だけになってしまいました。護衛の一式戦(Ki-43-Ic Oscar)はすでに旧式化していますし、CAP>護衛の関係と、数的劣勢ともあいまってターキーシュートになってしまいました。一式戦 13機、九七重爆 13機、百式重爆 2機が空戦で失われてしまいました。百式重爆の被害が少なかったのは、第一波は一式戦の奮闘で爆撃機の被害が少なく、しかも百式重爆はarmorだからでしょう。第二波の九七重爆はかなり叩かれました。ただ、こんなふうに迎撃で痛めつけながらもAirbase hits 19、Airbase supply hits 15、Runway hits 53と空襲の目的は果たしてくれていて感心しました。

ということで、夜も昼も連合軍にやられっぱなしで、今日は飛行機の損失数は合計で78機!昨日のエントリーで触れたNadzabの連合軍地上部隊ですが、今日は3ユニットに増えていました。戦力としては弱体なユニットばかりなのですが、さらに後続が来そうです。
