  • The British Pacific Fleet Joins In
    CHAPTER 22 THE BRITISH PACIFIC FLEET JOINS I N EN Commodore Farncomb returned to Lingayen Gulf and hoisted pendant in Shropshire on 22nd January, the amphibious phas e of the operation was over . Things were quiet in the Gulf itself after som e days of considerable tension . Between 10th and 18th January TG .77.2, including Shropshire and Warramunga, operated off the Gulf as part of the Luzon Defence Force' in support of the Escort Carrier Group, and as cover against enemy surface forces. The escort carriers flew larg e numbers of sorties each day, and covered the offensive on shore until captured airfields could be brought into operation . Until 13th January , Kamikaze attacks were a major worry, both to ships in the Gulf and to the reinforcement convoys and those returning to Leyte, and considerable damage to ships was incurred, with many casualties . These attacks cease d on that date, however. As was learned after the war, by 12th January the Japanese had expended their aircraft in the Philippines . Many had bee n withdrawn to Formosa, where they reorganised at Tainan airfield, an d the Kamikazes were next heard from on 21 January when they attacked TF .38 ; bu t for the most part, from 13 January to the Iwo Jima operation, they remained grounded . For the Allies they now seemed but a horrible dream . Unfortunately, like other bad dreams, this one recurred . 2 On 13th January General MacArthur landed and set up his headquarter s in Dagupan, and the same day General Krueger assumed command o f Sixth Army ashore .

  • Eylau 8 February, 1807
    1 The Battle Of Eylau 8 February, 1807 Following his complete victory over Prussia in the autumn of 1806, Napoleon advanced across northern Germany, chasing the remnants of Prussian forces and hoping to deal a decisive defeat to their Russian allies before winter brought a close to the campaign. In this he was disappointed; not only was he unable to sweep into the rear of the Russian army, but the new Russian commander, Count Levin Bennigsen, slipped the trap and gave Lannes’ corps a bloody nose at Pultusk on 26 December. The weather brought an end to the campaign, and both armies suffered in their winter quarters. Napoleon hoped to lure the Russians into a decisive combat west of the Alle River, just as Bennigsen hoped to draw Napoleon too far East. The result was several inconclusive maneuvers in January as the armies groped for each other in terrible weather. The Russian cavalry screen proved to be the superior in these conditions, and throughout this campaign Napoleon’s couriers frequently fell into Bennigsen’s hands. Several small actions took place during the first week of February as the Russians retired eastwards, pursued by the French. Throughout the afternoon of 7 February the leading French columns of Augereau and Murat tangled with Russian defenders near Eylau. Bennigsen had chosen good defensive ground, and was hoping to be reinforced by General L’estoq, who commanded Prussia’s last field division. Napoleon, by contrast, was struggling to assemble sufficient numbers, worried that the Russians would escape what he thought was a trap; he thus committed himself to a bloody assault against superior odds in sub-zero weather.
