Marines mop up on northern Iwo
GUAM (UP) – Three Marine divisions were mopping up Jap remnants on Iwo today. The end of the campaign was at hand.
Other units landed unopposed on Kama and Kangko rocks west of Iwo to knock out emplacements from which the Japs had been shelling U.S. positions throughout the 24-day battle.
Only two major enemy pockets remained on Iwo, and both were gradually being whittled down.
The biggest pocket at Kitano Point, northern tip of Iwo, was under assault by the 5th Marine Division. The 4th Division was hammering away at the other pocket near Higashi on the east side of the island.
The Marines were burying alive any Jap who refused to come out of the fortified caves and surrender. Creeping up to the cave entrances, the Marines hurled in demolition charges that collapsed the walls.
