　　At midnight on July 25, 1944, the Japanese forces launched a night assault against the U.S. landing site on Tinian Island in a recapture operation and were cruelly annihilated, leaving bodies strewn across the weedy fields of the battleground from Tulo Beach on Tinian Island. The Battle of Tinian was an operation that landed on the island of Tinian in the Marianas during the Pacific theater of World War II. on July 24, 1944, about 6,000 men and some 200 amphibious tanks of the 5th Amphibious Corps of the U.S. Army landed on Tinian, Marianas. Tinian Island was defended by about 8,050 Japanese soldiers. on July 28, the Japanese organized resistance ended and the island was declared safe from August 1, and the scattered Japanese forces continued fighting. American soldiers suffered 390 casualties and 1,593 wounded in action. The Japanese soldiers were annihilated and crushed to ashes with approximately 7,800 men and 252 prisoners of war.

　On July 25, the morning after the Japanese counterattack, the U.S. Marines confirmed the deaths of Japanese soldiers in the war. A large portion of the known organized infantry force of the Japanese Army took part in the nighttime assault and suffered a disastrous defeat. In particular, the 1st Battalion, 135th Infantry (Mobile Counterattack Force) and the huge number of confirmed Japanese dead suffered particularly heavy losses. The 1st Battalion suffered particularly heavy losses, and on July 26, captured Japanese soldiers stated that they had been virtually wiped out.

　 On July 24, several hundred Japanese attackers, backed by tanks, were involved in a night assault. A bazooka hit a Japanese tank, and shortly afterward the Japanese tank caught fire. The U.S. Army. had been trained, equipped, and prepared to hold off the Japanese. The counterattack of the night assault was over. The front lines of the U.S. 4th Marine Division were littered with approximately 1,241 Japanese corpses. One-time desperate Japanese tanks, destroyed in the initial July 24 night battle, lost more than one-seventh of their total defensive strength and more than one-fifth of their organized infantry forces on the night of July 24 alone. In addition to those Japanese soldiers killed in the night assault, some Japanese soldiers were wounded and fled.
