OFFENSE TO ROUT
JAPS OFF MOUNT
Airfield Captured; Objective
Is Huge Blockhouse Atop
' Volcano.
An Advanced Command Post
on Saipan, June 23 (U.R) Amer
ican infantry and marine troops,
supported by fighter planes from
captured Aslito now Conroy
airfield, today opened a pincers
drive against steep Mount Tapot
chau which dominates the entire
island of Saipan,
Veteran soldiers and marines
doggedly crawled up the moun-
tain slopes, pushing forward a
few feet at a time, as they forced
the enemy out of concealed bar
rages by hiding in the many
: ridges, ledges, and valleys in this
rugged terrain.
No troop movements or gun
fire have been reported in Gara
! pan, capital city of the Japanese
' ' Marianas, for the past 48 hours.
' When Mount Tapotchau falls the
doom of Garapan will be assured,
probably within 48 hours.
One of the chief objectives in
the Mount Tapotchau drive is a
huge block house hidden in a
deep gulch near the mountain
summit. This block house is be
lieved to be Japanese military
headquarters for the island. It
is well protected by pillboxes
and natural ridge rock defenses.
Japanese casualties have not
been determined but on the basis
of my conversations with officers
I believe at least 3,000 enemy
soldiers have been killed within
the southern one-third of Saipan
which the Americans now hold
except for small picket resis
tance at Rafutan Point on the
south side of Magicienne Bay.
In areas where heavy fighting
bas occurred few bodies have
been found but in places of light
action army officers have dis
covered between 400 and 500
bodies, indicating that Japanese
dead have been removed to the
rear.
The marines found two Jap
anese trucks loaded with freshly
killed Nipponese soldiers. Army
authorities said the Japanese
bury some of their dead in sealed
caves and throw others into the
sea.
