Saipan battle advances lag as tanks push slow
From Mount Tapotchau Saipan, July 1, William L. Worden reports the Saipan fight grinds into its third week. Tanks lead slow infantry thrusts against pockets of Japanese resistance south of Garapan while American forces advance northward through groves and fields as artillery roars and ambulances carry the wounded. Few Japanese are seen, casualties mount, and progress remains bitterly slow despite a wide, cinematic view of the battle from the mountain peak.
