On 26 March 1945, the closing day of the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific War, Japanese soldiers made a slashing attack on the American positions. The bodies of Japanese soldiers killed by US troops were scattered.

    On March 26, 1945, the closing day of the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific War, Japanese soldiers charged and made a cutting attack on American positions. The bodies of the Japanese soldiers were scattered after they were subsequently killed by the American troops. The American soldiers looked down on the Japanese soldiers' lifeless corpses and performed autopsies on them.

 In the early morning of March 26, on Iwo Jima, Ogasawara Islands, near the tent of a U.S. Army officer of the 21st Fighter Wing, he was assaulted by Japanese soldiers. Shortly thereafter, members of the U.S. Signal Air Alert Squadron, Black Air Force, Night Fighter Squadron, Naval Construction Battalion, Marine Corps Pioneer Force, and many other nearby U.S. military units entered the battle shortly thereafter. Approximately 300 Japanese soldiers, the remnants of three Japanese units, participated in the Japanese assault, attacking various American positions simultaneously. With flamethrowers, Tommy guns, and hand grenades, the U.S. Marines closed in on the Japanese assault from behind, killing and annihilating everyone down to the last Japanese soldier. The bodies of the Japanese soldiers left on the battlefield were littered with the wretched remains of Japanese soldiers.

  The Battle of Iwo Jima broke out on February 19, 1945, and on March 26, Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi and other high-ranking officers led the final Japanese attack. The attack was not a banzai assault, but created maximum chaos and destruction. Remnants from the Japanese Army and Navy headquarters, some 200 to 300 Japanese soldiers moved down from the north along the western side of Iwo Jima at 5:15 a.m. on March 26. Near the western shore, they attacked U.S. Marine and Army outposts. The command post of the 7th Fighter Group suffered heavy casualties, but the Americans recovered from the chaos and launched a counterattack. The U.S. Army's 5th Engineer Battalion hastily formed a battle line to hold off the Japanese attack. The chaotic battle lasted about three hours, and the Japanese soldiers were annihilated, leaving behind 196 corpses. About 40 Japanese troops, armed and carrying military swords, suggested high-ranking officers.
