Chapter 6: armada

QUICK PLOT SUMMARY: The six flag raisers are transported to Island X
on the USS Missoula, along with 1,500 troops, including all of Easy
Company. Two days after departing Pearl Harbor, "Island X" is
revealed to be Iwo Jima, and the Marines study maps of the island and learn
their plan of attack. Iwo Jima is incredibly important to the Japanese, since
in Shinto tradition, it is described as part of the creation that burst forth
from Mount Fuji, and it is now a part of the Tokyo prefecture. It is imperative
for the Americans to take Iwo Jima, since the Japanese military stationed there
is shooting down the American planes on their way to bomb the Japanese
mainland. The Army Air Force and Navy have been bombing the island mercilessly,
hoping to make it easy for the Marines to invade it. However, this was not the
case, since the Japanese soldiers' entrenchments were impervious to overhead
bombing.Lieutenant General Kuribayashi, who is in command of the Japanese troops defending Iwo Jima, knows exactly where the Marines will land on the island: there are only two miles of beach suitable for landing. He and 22,000 Japanese soldiers have constructed an incredible network of underground tunnels and rooms on the island, with blockhouses on the surface made of concrete and steel, camouflaged with sand. The maps used for US reconnaissance had no way of detecting the underground world that awaited the American troops. Therefore, the Marines arrived mistakenly thinking it would be a short, easy battle. However, the Navy is able to contribute fewer days of shelling than required, since many ships are being dedicated to taking the Japanese mainland. In fact, there was only one complete day of bombardment of Iwo Jima by the Navy preceding the Marines' invasion.
