Overview:

The area known as "Little Tokyo" in Shanghai was a Japanese enclave that was quickly surrounded by the Chinese Army in the first week of the fighting. The area included the Japanese Naval Club and the dock district along the Hunagpu River. The Chinese knew that they had an opportunity to wipe out the enclave and threw troops at the fortified area indiscriminately, resulting in extensive casualties. With China's window of opportunity slipping away, they asked their German advisors for help. The advisor to the 87th Division devised a new plan, Operation IRON FIST, rooted in traditional late World War I assault tactics. Specially-trained troops were to follow up quickly behind artillery barrages and penetrate defensive gaps rapidly.
