Introduction |
---|
Now united as a regimental combat team, the 442nd integrated the combat-tested 100th Battalion in place of the former 1st Battalion, which had given up most of its troops to replace the 100th's combat losses. It now had significant organic artillery support available from the Nisei 552nd Field Artillery Battalion. Despite the commitment of the new units, the veteran 100th Battalion remained the regiment's shock force. After resting for the night the Hawaiian Nisei had been ordered to continue advancing north along the Suvereto-Sassetta road. |
Conclusion |
---|
The 100th Battalion had earned themselves a praiseworthy reputation for getting the job done-they would do so again today. The Germans were driven northward out of the town to choose yet another position to dig in. The 442nd proved itself equal to the Nisei infantry's steadily-growing fighting reputation, providing well-directed fire that made the Germans retreat extremely costly. |
