Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

15th of March 1946 Soft conditions 04:00 Turn 141



Japanese losses from direct fire from tank stacks USAAF bombing runs are stiff, but progress isn't spectacular.

Carpet bombing runs did knock out some artillery stacks as they were forced to withdraw.



There's only 1 Japanese unit left in the Boso Peninsula, an observer at Susaki west of Tateyama






6th Marine Division starts its push north. The idea is to hit the Japanese units in the Field hexes hard with naval artillery and slowly roll north along the coast. Meanwhile, XXIV Corps will strike north from its position at Honno. 4th Marine Division will slowly move towards the coast as well, leaving only 1st Marine Division in place to help XXIV Corps until the division is relieved by reinforcements about to arrive.
