PTO. Western Allies. Ground Strikes Summary. While allied ground strikes were modestly effective (got HQ-I and 2 or 3 other units) and resulted in 3 allied air units lost to 0 for the Japanese; probably the biggest benefit was that it forced Japan to use up a significant number of her fighters and AA fire defending against them. From that perspective the ground strikes achieved what the allies wanted them to achieve.
