GUAM, July 18—(U.E)—'Thundering guns of the United States Pacific fleet blasted and seared a sprawling industrial area only 25 miles north of Tokyo today while armadas of 2000 British and American carrier planes struck devastat-! ing new blows at the Japanese homeland in a continuing series of air raids.
Steaming boldly through midnight darkness to the very gates of bomb-shattered Tokyo,
William F. (Bull) Halsey’s third fleet battleships, cruisers and destroyers sent uncounted tons of high explosives crashing into a cluster of war factories on the Honshu island shoreline.
The 35,000-ton British battleship HMS King George V and lighter units of the British Pacific fleet task force, joined the third fleet in blasting Japan’s mainland, it was announced today.
The British and American warships moved toward the Honshu coast last night, covered by dark-nes, a low overcast and swarms of protecting aircraft. The overcast prevented observation of results, today’s war bulletin said.
Great fires blazed skyward and licked through the industrial target area ranging southward from Hitachi-Daigo, 75 miles north of Tokyo, to a point only 25 miles from the capital itself, flagship
correspondents reported.
The bombardment was spearheaded by the 45,000-ton battleship Iowa and other unidentified battleships, bringing to bear 16-inch naval rifles on variegated industrial and military targets.
