Overview:
By midday, the Marines from the initial Battalion Landing Teams were pinned down close to their beaches. Marine commanders hoped that the M4A2 Sherman tanks landing in the fifth wave would assist them in getting off the beach. Four of the five tanks from 2nd Platoon, C Company, 2nd Marine Tank Battalion were able to make it to Red Beach 3. The fifth tank was lost to a submerged shell hole in the lagoon. Once ashore, the Platoon Commander, 1st Lt. Largey in his tank named Cannonball, was ordered by Major Crowe, commanding Red Beach 3, to have his tank platoon drive across the width of the atoll and destroy targets of opportunity. With their orders in hand, tanks Cannonball, Condor, Colorado and Charlie began their run south.Attacker: American (USMC) (2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division and C Company, 2nd Marine Tank Battalion)
Defender: Japanese (3rd Special Base Defense Force)
