@abdoetz But they never saw this coming: American troops with superior fire-power and master sergeants trained by Chuck Norris himself.

@SickShotUpYoAss It was logistics that lost the war in the Philippines not the human wave tactics. First off they have no lines to charge in the Philippines they were almost always at the defensive from guerilla attacks from American troops and their compatriot Filipino militia.
-
@stona80 It was that mentality of theirs, their mentality of superior spirit would help them win the said battle. Little did they know they are meeting with a different breed of warriors, those who believe and apply the adage
"Superior fire-power,superior positions" plus indomitable courage. Also, they have the penchant of underestimating opposing armies.

banzai!

@GNRWrestlingFan he was actually shot in the chest by sporadic japanese machine gun fire

okay, that dude is a fucking beast
-
@stona80 because they defeat part of china, philipines, and russian troops with that tactics n the japanese thought it will work on americans
-
@English1800 but yet you're 31?

@DanielPianoForever The japanese were not used to charge at large numberds of automatic weapons that the US possessed. The chinese didnt have thompson, BAR, m1 garand. they HAD MG'S alright but nearly as many as the US and nothing like the other american small arms.

Well partly because the japanese think, base on their experiences from China and other battles in asia, that as long as they do the banzai charge tactics, the enemies would be scared and run off due to their superiority in spirit and numbers. Apparently, this tactic does not work for the Americans.
If the Japs changed their tactics....maybe they had a chance... how foolish is it to just charge at a machine gun??? Even cilivians know that, why didn't the Jap SOLDIERS realise this???
I guess Toko had no idea in war tactics.....
he was sentenced to death at the war crime tribunal, and hung.... =-P

He was killled just hours into the battle of Iwo Jima. He already gathered a group of men off the beachhead and he went back to the beach to get more. He was killed when a motor landed near him and a group of men he was leading. Sgt. John Basilone was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his actions on Iwo becoming the one of two men to earn both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross during the WWII. Check out Chuck Tatum discussing his experience of Iwo, he saw Basilone die.
