Historical Background:
As a prelude to the landing on Okinawa island, operation Iceberg, the US command had planned to capture first the Kerama islands, located South West of Okinawa. The 77th US Infantry Division was in charge of this action. On the 26th March 1945, the 1st Battalion, 305th Inf Rgt, landed without opposition on Zamami island but the following night, several groups of Japanese soldiers supported by mortar fire attacked the US defense positions near the beach. The battle lasted all the night with several close-combat. The next morning, US defenders found about 200 Japanese killed around their positions.
