On the Kanto Plains, Koga, Tokyo, Japan, 25th of March 1946 -  

Operation Coronet was nearly a month old.  Despite fanatical resistance, the US 8th Army had broken out of its beachhead.  Before assaulting Tokyo itself, the US forces firstly had to isolate the city.  The US 2nd Armoured Division was driving northwards towards the town of Koga.  Facing them were various Japanese infantry and militia groups.  It is here that the Japanese 1st Armoured Division tried to halt the US forces.
