Overview:
On August 15, Chiang Kai- Shek convened with his divisional staff to organize a second assault on the Japanese defenses in Shanghai, this time with greater firepower and preparation. The Chinese divisions were to use German Stosstrupp shock tactics, advancing immediately after an intense artillery barrage to break through Japanese lines and fight their way deep behind enemy positions before the defenders could recover. Since their forces lacked adequate heavy weapons to destroy the Japanese bunkers directly, the Chinese command decided to employ encirclement tactics. To this end, the Chinese Commander instructed his troops to take the streets surrounding the Japanese strongholds, avoiding costly frontal attacks on heavily fortified positions. On the morning of the 16th, the German-trained Chinese 87th and 88th Divisions launched OPERATION IRON FIST, which began with an intense bombardment of the Japanese positions, followed by a mass infantry assault.Attacker: Chinese (88th Infantry Division with attached Armor support)
Defender: Japanese (Special Naval Landing Force)
