9-2.8 AB v. 2
No full textIllustration No. 52: The 155mm howitzer proved to be effective not only as an indirect, but as a direct fire weapon. This piece, belonging to the 221st Field Artillery, is firing point blank at a pillbox 1200 yards away. At the time, this hill is being attacked by troops from Company E, 164th Infantry. The devastating fire of the artillery undoubtedly saved the lives of many infantrymen by destroying numerous Japanese positions which would have had to be taken by costly assaults.
