Overview:

The defense of the town of Munoz, a Japanese 'Fortified Locality', was entrusted to the Ida Group of the 2nd Tank Division. Knowing full well their tanks were no match for the US Shermans, the Japanese instead used them as Static Pillboxes, digging in over 80% of the Division's tanks in conjunction with a maze of pillboxes, trenches, wire, mines and booby traps of all sorts. The American 20th Infantry started the attack in earnest on the 1st of February. They were stopped cold by a series of Irrigation ditches to the west of town, and withering fire from the defensive positions pinned them down. Adding to the GIs suffering was the 105 degree heat, which caused many casualties of heat exhaustion to 'drop like flies'.
Attacker: American (Elements of the 20th Infantry Regiment, 6th Infantry Division)
