The Japanese have been eliminated.
Conclusion and Analysis
The Japanese quickly lost the initiative to the fast-moving Allied tanks after the two sergeants were killed. The tanks claimed the city and hill, which commanded the field of fire and prevented the Japanese AT guns from operating effectively. The Type 95 would have been more effective against the infantry, instead of trying to go head-to-head with the Sherman.
In general, the Japanese infantry were under-powered, although the knee-mortar proved to be fairly effective. The Japanese tanks and AT guns were ineffective even at medium range, and were slaughtered before they could capture strategic points. The Allies used speed and mobility to react quickly to the Japanese assault, and prevented them from gaining a foothold.
