Neuseeländische Bomber griffen heute wieder die auf Bougainville abgeschnittenen japanischen Truppen an. So makaber und zynisch es auch klingen mag...diese relativ ungefährlichen Einsätze sind für die Bomberbesatzungen, die noch über recht wenig Kampferfahrung verfügen, sehr wichtig und nützlich.

Den ganzen Tag über war der Himmel über Manus der Ausgangspunkt todbringender Bombenangriffe. Auch die japanische Luftwaffe griff von Truk aus mit einigen Bombern in die Bodenkämpfe ein, doch das Heft des Handelns hatte eindeutig die USAAF in der Hand. In mehreren Wellen wurden die japanischen Stellungen flächendeckend bombardiert, bis kein Stein mehr auf dem Anderen war. Beim Feind müssen sich unbeschreibliche Szenen abgespielt haben.

Währenddessen brachten Transportmaschinen von Port Moresby aus weitere Kontingente Fallschirmjäger der 1. Welle, welche über den bereits am Vortage gesicherten Landezonen absprangen. Bis zum frühen Nachmittag rückten diese Verstärkungen in die Stellungen ihrer Kameraden ein. Punkt 17.00 Uhr sprangen über 2.000 Fallschirmjäger aus ihren Schützenlöchern auf und stürmten auf die japanischen Stellungen zu, Anfangs wehrte sich der Feind verbissen und Nahkämpfe flammten auf, doch der Feind war dem Ansturm der Elite Soldaten schließlich nicht gewachsen. Die Dämme brachen und bis zum Abend waren Hafen und Flugfeld in amerikanischer Hand. Nur wenige japanische Überlebende konnten sich in den Dschungel retten. Ihnen soll morgen nachgesetzt werden. Manus ist eingenommen!

[font=Courier New]Den ganzen Tag über war der Himmel über Manus der Ausgangspunkt todbringender Bombenangriffe. Auch die japanische Luftwaffe griff von Truk aus mit einigen Bombern in die Bodenkämpfe ein, doch das Heft des Handelns hatte eindeutig die USAAF in der Hand. In mehreren Wellen wurden die japanischen Stellungen flächendeckend bombardiert, bis kein Stein mehr auf dem Anderen war. Beim Feind müssen sich unbeschreibliche Szenen abgespielt haben.[/font]

[font=Courier New][align=center]Währenddessen brachten Transportmaschinen von Port Moresby aus weitere Kontingente Fallschirmjäger der 1. Welle, welche über den bereits am Vortage gesicherten Landezonen absprangen. Bis zum frühen Nachmittag rückten diese Verstärkungen in die Stellungen ihrer Kameraden ein. Punkt 17.00 Uhr sprangen über 2.000 Fallschirmjäger aus ihren Schützenlöchern auf und stürmten auf die japanischen Stellungen zu, Anfangs wehrte sich der Feind verbissen und Nahkämpfe flammten auf, doch der Feind war dem Ansturm der Elite Soldaten schließlich nicht gewachsen. Die Dämme brachen und bis zum Abend waren Hafen und Flugfeld in amerikanischer Hand. Nur wenige japanische Überlebende konnten sich in den Dschungel retten. Ihnen soll morgen nachgesetzt werden.
