The Assault of Kure Atoll is a major battle in the Midwayan People's War. It was the first battle taht in the Midwayan People's War that ended in victory for the Midwayan People's Army since they captured New Atlantis (but subsequently lost the city).
The battle began when the Midwayan People's Army began assaulting the beached of Kure Atoll after having waited for night while disguised as fisherman. They immediately met heavy resistance, however they broke through the first line of defense after they carried out a successful banzai charge. They then proceeded to attack the city.
At this point the Nazi's began air strikes throughout the city. This caused many casualties among the rebels but they pushed on. By the next day they had pushed the front line to city hall, where the Red Front raised their flag over city hall signifying an end to the battle.
