(2/5) Pacific The Lost Evidence Saipan Episode 5 World War II

World War II SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS
Seven American battleships and 11 destroyers shelled Saipan and Tinian for 2 days before the landings, firing 15,000 16-inch and 5-inch shells at the islands along with 165,000 other shells of other caliber. To even begin to comprehend the magnitude of this onslaught, one needs to realize that a single 16-inch round weighs slightly more than a Volkswagen Beetle, besides being packed with high explosives. On the second day of the bombardment, this force was joined by 8 more battleships, 6 heavy cruisers and 5 light cruisers. The islands were ringed by American warships with their guns blazing. Shells rained down on the island, its villages, inhabitants, and defenders, gouging huge craters in the sand and coral. The earth trembled under the tremendous explosions of naval bombardment and simultaneous air attacks.

The main invasion force landed along 4 miles of beach at Chalan Kanoa. Twenty-eight U. S. tanks were destroyed the first day alone. The Japanese positioned colored flags in the lagoon to mark the range of the landing force and to register their howitzers on the invaders from locations behind Mount Fina Susu, and their shell fire rained down on the advancing American force every 15 seconds in a deadly cauldron of exploding steel. By nightfall of the first day, the Second Marine Division had sustained 2,000 casualties. The fighting continued until July 9th, when organized resistance on Saipan ceased. When the fighting ended, American losses on Saipan were double those suffered on Guadalcanal. Of the 71,034 U. S. troops landed on Saipan, 3,100 were killed, 13,100 wounded or missing in action. Out of the 31,629 Japanese on Saipan, approximately 29,500 died as a result of the fighting, and only 2,100 prisoners survived. Fighting between the Japanese and the Americans was by no means completely mechanized; while ships, aircraft, artillery, and tanks inflicted the largest amount of damage to the combatants, a great deal of the fighting was hand-to-hand. Besides machine guns, flame throwers, rifles, and pistols, deadly skirmishes were fought with bayonets, swords, bamboo spears, clubs, stones and fists.

The ratio of battle dead was 9.5:1 during the 24 days of fighting. Place names given the rugged Saipan terrain such as Death Valley, Purple Heart Ridge and Harakiri Gulch testified to the bitter fighting. One of the most lamentable events of the battle for Saipan involved the mass suicide of hundreds of families, many of whom jumped to their deaths from the high cliffs at the island's northernmost point. This tragic event could not be stopped, despite efforts by Americans and indigenous Saipanese using loudspeakers to try to convince the Japanese that surrender would be. (Navy Site Online)

Love Never Fails- Episode 15 (Part 2) Love Never Fails- Episode 15 (Part 2) I bet you're wondering what happens now huh? ;) ---------------------------------------------------------- I didn't think about what I was doing. I just did it. I had no control whatsoever at the moment. I gently placed my hand onto his chest and started rubbing it lightly. "D-Demi...what are you doing?" he said, nervously. I kept going and began running my hands from his shoulder down to his abs...but no lower than that...for now. He closed his eyes and it seemed like he was biting his lip a little harder. "Are you gonna tell me now?" I asked, as I continued to torture him a little more. "Demi...st-stop.." He begged. I sighed and layed back down. I guess it didn't work. Suddenly, Joe got up and rolled on top of me and started to kiss me. My eyes widened from shock at first, but closed again as I began to kiss him back. He slowly pulled away and then began to kiss my neck, even beginning so suck on my sweet spot. "J-Joe...what are you doing.." I said, biting my lip, trying hard not to moan. Like I said, I had lost all control. My point? Half of me wanted to yell stop, but the other loved the feeling and wanted him to keep going. The second one won. I didn't want him to stop, and I couldn't tell him to stop. So what what does that obviously mean? He didn't stop. And I didn't do anything about it. ------------------------------------------ Aren't they doing an amazing job at the "just friends" thing? Cause all "friends" definitely seduce each other, haha :P 12+ comments ...

UP A Justin Bieber Love Story Episode 148 UP A Justin Bieber Love Story Episode 148 Okay here it is :) ~~~UP~~~ Her head lying gently against the bed as her hair lay somewhat around her. I pushed the remaining hair out of her face, finding her beauty block away the grey clouds. More tears ran down my cheeks, as I stared at her I noticed that she was pale. Really pale, how come I haven't noticed? I was too blinded by love to notice, I wanted to see her smiling face again, I wanted to look into her big brown eyes and just get lost, I wanted to feel her soft angel like lips touch mine, I wanted to hold her in my arms, I wanted to hear her say those 3 words I love hearing, I wanted to see her at least move an inch, just one inch to make me go crazy, I wanted her, I needed her, everything about her is beautiful, everything about her is special, everything about her is fantastic, great, genuine, graceful, peaceful. She's everything I've ever wanting in a girl and she's gonna die. She's everything I'll only and ever want, I won't be able to live without her, she's my everything, she's my pearl to the ocean. She's my diamond to a volcano. She's my one and only...and to top it all off...I love her. I brushed my fingers against her cheek as she flinched; she turned to her side grabbing my hand and pulling me down, I landed on my knee. Okay oww!! I looked at Jess's expression she seemed kind of mad slash happy. It was weird. I winced in pain, my knee kind of hit the floor hard and Jess holding onto my hand pretty hard. I heard her moan, I looked at her, she started ...
