"At least
3 squads of American Marines had breached our wire
obstacles and
were setting up positions to fire upon our few remaining
troops around the
hill and the surrounding jungle. We were in awe of bravery
of their leader,
"
Red Devil" according to his ID tags, as he dove
over the wire obstacles in
front of him and directed his troops to fire on our covered
positions. But
his efforts were in vain as the Marines were unable to
put effective fire
down upon us and he soon met his end through several
Banzai counter attacks.
In the end, neither side could secure the objective on
the hill. Victory
might have gone to the Marines as their one remaining
rifle squad supported
by a Mortar section outnumbered our last squad of Arisaka
riflemen. But the
spirit of the Emperor must have been with us as a lone
Honor-Bound Hero
emerged from our ranks, thereby giving us the strength
prevail and claim
victory." - Private Ikko Iseyu, 28th Infantry
