Japanese Awaiting Reinforcements ENEMY FIGHTERS SHOT DOWN IN JAVA SEA LONDON, February 12. In the Batan Peninsula the lull in the fighting continues. The enemy is evidently reorganising and awaiting reinforcements before resuming the attack. The island of Masbate, in the centre of the Philippines, has been occupied by Japanese forces. A message from Batavia states that Allied aircraft shot down four Japanese naval fighters over the Java Sea. A moonlight air attack was also made on a Japanese aircraft carrier off the island of Celebes.
