Enemy repeatedly hurled back
TOKYO (June 24, Domei) – Nippon defenders firmly entrenched in three salient in the eastern and western coasts of Main Okinawa Island are repeatedly hurling back enemy forces fanatically attempting to pierce the Nippon line in the central area, in the Shimajiri sector in the southern part of the island.
Since Thursday, June 21, the Nippon defenders have been gallantly bucking the invaders in all areas in the fierce sanguinary battle in Shimajiri sector where a fierce sanguinary battle is developing. Intensified fighting is at present raging in three salients.
Furious foe thrusts
They are firstly, in the eastern coastal area around the heights north of Arakaki and Maedaira; secondly, in the area centering around Mabuni, south-east of the aforementioned area; and thirdly, in the western coastal area from the height north of Makabe Village to the plateau north of Mezato.
The enemy invaders in a determined effort to gain complete control of Nippon salients in the Shimajiri sector launched an all-out offensive in an attempt to break down stubborn Nippon resistance. However, our garrison forces, braving adverse conditions with high fighting spirit and morale, are, despite overwhelming odds, continually turning back furious enemy thrusts.
