The Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific battlefield in February 1945 was a turning point in the Pacific War. After the U.S. forces took Iwo Jima, they established a base on the island closest to the Japanese mainland, causing B-29 bombers to air strikes on the Japanese mainland and later ended with an atomic bomb. War becomes possible. The resistance of the Japanese on Iwo Jima was almost suicidal. The highest commander of the Japanese army on Iwo Jima, known as the "jade shredded commander," Tadaichi Kuribayashi could be said to be the pioneer of body bombs. After that, they rushed into the U.S. positions with explosive barrels and detonated them. Every inch of American advancement on Iwo Jima was exchanged for flesh and blood. The Battle of Iwo Jima was the most tragic battle in the Pacific War. More than 20,000 Japanese troops stationed on the island were almost wiped out, and more than 6,000 people were killed on the battlefield in the United States, and more than 19,000 were wounded. It was the only battle in which the number of casualties in the United States was greater than that in Japan.

The music is great. But I feel human nature is thinner. It seems that those fighters who are known to be mortal can only write letters that cannot be sent, commit suicide or be killed. It's normal for these things to happen to Japanese people, and it's normal to happen in China decades ago, but, I'm afraid, until now, no Chinese will return to die for the country.
