【Opening】
The fighting on the beachhead at Iwo Jima was very fierce.

The advance of the Marines was stalled by numerous defensive positions
augmented by artillery pieces.
There, the Marines were ambushed by Japanese
troops who occasionally sprang out of tunnels.

One of the technological innovations of the battle, the eight
Sherman M4A3R3 medium tanks equipped with a flamethrower ("Ronson" or "Zippo" tanks),
proved very effective at clearing Japanese positions.
The Shermans were difficult to disable,
such that defenders were often compelled to assault them in the open,
where they would fall victim to the superior numbers of Marines.

On February 20,
the 28th Marine Regiment advanced toward Mt. Suribachi
and the other three Marine Regiments advanced toward
the main defense line toward Motoyama
after the preparatory artillery bombardment.


【Ending】
In the days after the landings,
the Marines expected the usual Japanese banzai charge during the night.
This had been the standard Japanese final defense strategy
in previous battles against enemy ground forces in the Pacific,
such as during the Battle of Saipan.


In those attacks, for which the Marines were prepared,
the majority of the Japanese attackers had been killed
and the Japanese strength greatly reduced.
However, in Battle of Iwo Jima General Kuribayashi
had strictly forbidden these "human wave" attacks
by the Japanese infantrymen because he considered them to be futile.
