FRAME 5 - BATTLE OF RANGOON (Japanese Offensive)
June-July 1942

To: Air Combat Group 飛行戦隊 ‘Hikō Sentai ‘ 15th Army,

Enough is Enough! We will stop the enemy once and for all. You are ordered
to conduct interdiction attacks on the enemy’s ablity to resupply.

To be successful you must destroy a total of 15 of the following targets:
Rangoon f138: 6 parked aircraft
Port of Rangoon: 6 ships (4 at the docks, 2 in the bay)
Supply convoy on Burm Rd: unknown number of supply trucks

As a result of the cowardly attack on our parked aircraft. I have convinced the
Navy to supply us with a limited number of their best fighter aircraft, the A6M
Zero. It is better than the enemy’s aircraft in almost all respects.
You are the superior fighting force now with superior weapons. I am expecting
a complete victory for our illustrious emperor.

We will not fail.

- Gen Shōjirō Iida, Commander 15th Army
