During the Pacific War of World War II, the famous Battle of Iwo Jima broke out on Iwo Jima. In February 1945, the U.S. Marines opened fire on the Browning machine gun M-1917A1 at the foot of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
On March 3, 1945, U.S. Marines examined the bodies of Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima. The Japanese were not covered by their bodies, which were sprayed by American flamethrowers. In this war, the situation was very tragic, and in the end, the American army lost 6821 soldiers, and the Japanese lost 23786 soldiers (1083 captured, 22703 killed).
The corpses of soldiers submerged by volcanic sand.
The U.S. military had absolute air superiority, and thousands of bombs fell from the sky to the Japanese on Iwo Jima.
On March 17, 1945, Iwo Jima was surrounded by American warships.
Although the Japanese army built a large number of tunnel fortifications on Iwo Jima and struggled to the death, once the American war machine was mobilized, Japan was not his opponent at all, only to be pounced on.
