World of Tanks news » Battle of Saipan

The Battle of Saipan was a ferocious battle in mid 1944 involving the Japanese 31st Army and the V Amphibious Corps of the United States. Commencing with a devastating bombardment by the US Navy, the battle that followed ravaged the island for almost a month until US forces finally emerged victorious. This victory proved to be important strategically, as U.S. bombers were finally within striking distance of the Japanese home islands.
