On the 24th of December 1944, a Japanese Navy force containing two cruisers: Ashigara and Ōyodo; plus eight destroyers: Kiyoshimo, Asashimo, Kasumi, Kaya, Kashi, and Sugi; departs Camranh Bay off Indochina (Vietnam) as part of "Operation Rei-Go" a raiding force to bombard the San Jose beachhead. On the evening of 26th of December 1944, the force was spotted and attacked by B-25 Mitchells and PT Boats. Kiyoshimo sustained heavy damage and was eventually sunk. Between 11 PM and 1 AM the next day, the remaining force bombards the beachhead area but causes little damage. This was one of the last Japanese surface unit attacks on an American beachhead during the Pacific War. The next day, the survivors return to Camranh Bay. (Pacific Wrecks)

The main goal of the operation was to counter "Operation Love III", the US seizure of a sizeable lodgement on Mindoro island in the central part of the Japanese-occupied Philippine islands group (15/21 December 1944).
