[Hohenlohe]

Werter George, wir freuen uns sehr über eure Updates von der Front. In China schaut es an einigen Stellen für euch sehr ernst aus, wenn wir dies richtig interpretieren. Daher drücken wir euch die Daumen, dass ihr an den entsprechenden Stellen (Ichang...??) die Lage wieder in den Griff bekommt...
Wir wünschen euch weiterhin viel Glück und viele Erfolge...!!

herzlichste grüsse

In der Malacca Straße gelang es einem feindlichen U-Boot, den Frachter „Canberra Maru“ zu torpedieren. Die geladene Munition entzündete sich und die Folgeexplosionen ließen die Brände außer Kontrolle geraten. Am späten Nachmittag musste der Frachter aufgegeben werden.

Tagesbericht 15. Juni 1942

In der südlichen Malacca Strasse wurde ein kleines Minenfeld entdeckt. Minenräumer aus Palembang liefen umgehend aus um diese Minen unschädlich zu machen.

Im Raum Ichang verschärft sich die Lage. Sowohl die Stärke der chinesischen Verbände, als auch die Absichten des Feindes wurden unterschätzt bzw. falsch eingeschätzt. Die offensive Ausrichtung der Chinesen in diesem Frontabschnitt trifft die japanische Armee schlecht vorbereitet. Es wird nun versucht, Reserven an diesen Frontabschnitt zu werfen um ihn zu stabilisieren, jedoch wird im Fall der Fälle Ichang nicht zu halten sein. Die Luftwaffe greift ununterbrochen die gegnerischen Marschkolonnen an.

Werter George, wie es aussieht ist der edle Divico in China für einige Überraschungen gut. Da müsst ihr durch. Wir hoffen sehr, dass ihr etwas Glück habt und evtl. doch noch die ein oder andere Schwachstelle bei seinen Chinaverbänden findet, um es ihm mit gleicher Münze heimzuzahlen...

herzlichste grüsse

China wird Euch bestimmt noch schwer im Magen liegen, wenn es ganz dumm läuft, gerät dadurch die ganze Region (Burma, Indochina) in Gefahr. Das wird ein sehr heißer Herbst werden.

Der Fall von Ichang zeigt, das die Lage immer kritischer zu werden droht. Im Süden rücken Eure verbände zwar gut vor, aber uns beschleicht das ungute Gefühl, das die enorm vielen chinesischen Angriffstruppen im Raum Ichang noch viel mehr vor haben könnten.
Vielleicht wird sogar die Bahnlinie zwischen Wuchang und dem Osten Chinas unterbrochen, was Eure Truppen westlich und südlich davon zwar nicht abschneidet, aber mit dem Nachschub dürfte es sicher Schwierigkeiten geben. Stehen denn eigentlich ausreichend japanische Einheiten östlich von Ichang zur Verfügung, um diesen Einbruch abzuriegeln oder müsstet Ihr Verbände aus dem Süden/Westen als "Feuerwehr" abziehen?

[Hohenlohe]

Eine Antwort auf die Fragestellung des edlen Taurus würde auch uns interessieren...

Gegenmaßnahmen laufen bereits. Ob sie ausreichend sind und schnell genug greifen...das wird sich zeigen. Östlich von Ichang ist die Front halbwegs gut besetzt. Südöstlich in Richtung Hankow sieht es zur zeit noch dürftig aus. Dorthin werden die Alarmeinheiten verlegt.

Gegen den werten Divico zu spielen setzt ein dickes Fell voraus. Er teilt bereits jetzt, Mitte 1942, heftige Nackenschläge aus...das wird mit zunehmender Kriegsdauer bestimmt nicht besser werden...

Mit der Einnahme von Cebu ist ein weiterer feindlicher Stützpunkt im Raum der Philippinen gefallen. Strategisch für den Feind zwar bereits seit Monaten ohne Nutzen, war es doch an der Zeit, dem Leiden der philippinischen und amerikanischen Soldaten ein Ende zu setzen.

In China kann man schon fast von einer chinesischen Großoffensive im Raum Ichang sprechen. Heute überschritten über 100.000 chinesische Soldaten östlich der Stadt den Fluss und zerschlugen die schwer angeschlagenen Reste der ehemaligen Garnison von Ichang. Sollte der Feind jedoch auf Hankow vorstoßen wollen, so ist die 11. Armee dort gut gerüstet. 3 Infanteriedivisionen werden zur Zeit herangeführt. Die Stadt selber ist schwer befestigt. Die Garnison besteht aus rund 10.000 verbündeten „Freien Chinesen“.

Werter George, wir können eurem Gegner nur unseren Respekt zollen. Er setzt seine Truppen relativ aggressiv ein. Wir hoffen mal, dass ihr die chinesische Dampfwalze irgendwie bremsen könnt. Nicht, dass sich eine Situation wie bei Ichang wiederholt...

In China wurde entlang der Straße Nanyang-Sian ein größeres Feindkontingent angegriffen und teilweise aufgerieben. Obwohl das eigene Oberkommando eingesteht, dass diese Operationen des Feindes einen negativen Einfluss auf die Operationen der japanischen Armee haben, dürfte der Aderlass an Truppen und vor allem an Ausrüstung und schweren Waffen der chinesischen Armee irgendwann zum Nachteil gereichen.

Vor dem Hafen von Akyab entdeckte die Sicherung eines größeren Truppenkonvois ebenfalls ein Minenfeld, welches wohl durch feindliche U-Boote gelegt wurde. Zwar begannen die Schiffe umgehend mit der Räumung, doch kam die Warnung für den Hilfskreuzer „Hokoku Maru“ zu spät. Er lief auf eine Mine, die den Kiel aufriss, was einen Wassereinbruch verursachte. Die Mannschaft konnte die Schäden jedoch im Laufe des Tages eindämmen und die Wassereinbrüche stoppen.

Tagesbericht 25. Juni 1942

Folgende Sichtungen/Bekämpfungen feindlicher U-Boote wurden am heutigen Tage von den verschiedenen Luftwaffenkommandos gemeldet.

Im Golf von Bengalen hatten gleich 2 Konvois Kontakt mit feindlichen U-Booten. In beiden Fällen waren die Angriffe der Feindboote zwar in dem Sinne erfolgreich, dass sie jeweils einen Truppentransporter torpedieren konnten, doch versagten die Zünder der Torpedos. Die Schiffe konnten ihre Fahrt unbeschädigt fortsetzen.
