You're up! Frag that cave!

Now he throws it in!

Merry Christmas! Nips!

Hold it!

- Cover the entrance!

- Got it!

Cave's clear!

- Are they dead?

- Go in and find out?

- I'm not going in there.

- Get in there!

- Go on!

- Get in there. Check him out!

- Check those pockets!

- I don't have all day.

Get those souvenirs, watches...

What've you got?

Got one!

- Move out!

- Yeah! yeah!

- I want a belly band!

- What's a belly band?

Give it.

I have two children of my own.

Follow me.

We need to stock

up on supplies.

Don't we have enough?

We need to stock up on more.

Later we won't have a chance.

Naval command's not ready,

so continue to hold.

We'll wait for the combined

fleet to recapture the island.

Arrival of the combined

fleet won't be long.

Who is this?

My subordinate.

Even without naval support?

We are going to fight?!

- Insolence!

- Quiet!

Keep silent.

Captain, I will tell the

rest tonight.

That even without naval support

I am not afraid to die.

I want to win the war.

As do I!

No!

You just want to die.

That's not true.

Dying may be necessary.

But not unnecessary sacrifice.

Death will not ensure our victory!

We must kill as many enemies as we

can to ensure our army's victory!

Bear that in mind!

I am addressing the officers and men

to the Imperial Army on Saipan.

For more than twenty days since

the American devils attacked,

the officers, men and civilian employees of

the Imperial Army and Navy on this island.

Have fought well and bravely.

I expected...

that every man would

do his duty.

Heaven has not given us

a chance.

We have fought in unison

up to the present time

Despite the bitterness of defeat we

pledge "seven lives to repay our country".

Whether we attack or stay,

there is only death.

Men who realize the

true value of the Empire

Utilize this opportunity to

exalt true Japanese manhood.

Saipan is the breakwater

in the Pacific.

Leave my bones on Saipan

as a bulwark of the Pacific.

As in the Senjinkun battle ethics,

Never suffer disgrace and will

offer up the courage of my soul.

For the eternal life of the emperor

and the welfare of the country!

BANZAI!

July 7th, 1944

On the day following the suicide of

General Saito and his four commanders

The tattered remnants of the Japanese forces

Gathered near the western

coast of the island

for a final assault

against the invaders.

The Americans however,

remained completely unaware

of their movements.

Keep us posted on a regular basis.

If we find anything out there

you boys'd be interested in

I'll let you know.

Come home normal.

- Stay sharp.

- Roger.

- Mikey! Let's go.

- Coming, sir.

I sure miss those Hawaiian gals.
