OPERATION DOWNFALL PART TWO
Operation Coronet
At great cost, the allies have captured Kyushu and are preparing to invade Shikoku and western Honshu. For the first time in the Pacific war, once defeat was imminent, Japanese forces quickly retreated rather than fight to the last man. Japanese naval and civilian shipping was pressed into service to evacuate miltary forces from Kyushu. Abandoned towns and villages suggest prior evacuation of the civilian population.
Intelligence suggests the Empire will make it's final stand on the island of Honshu.
Intercepted Japanese transmissions contain references to "secret weapons"
Allied objectives: Capture Shikoku and establish a foothold in western Honshu.
Axis objectives: Defend both Shikoku and Honshu and retake Kyushu.
