(ii) ENEMY FORCES
SECRET
Summary No. 1192
1. SOUTHWESTERN ISLANDS - Reports available indicate that advances on Southern
Okinawa continues on 3 May but give no detail on such advances.
Enemy air activity flared up again night 3-4- May and A.M. 4 May
coordinated with a n u ^ e r of night sortiea by small speed beats. Preliminary
reports indicate that the air Offensive was carried out in 3 main
phases vig.: dusk to midnight 3 ®*ay, 0130-044-5/4- May and 0745-0915/4
May. These main ohaoes apparently involved:
(a) Prior mifhiight 3-4 May: 20.25 planes approached from S.W.
in k raids, 3.7 planes destroyed (4 by CAP, 4 by AA, 9
suicides,, < 5 shins hit including 1 destroyer and 1 LSM
SUii:. 5>
(b) 01/5-044,5/4 May; about 60 planes approaching from North
and West in 24 raids: 12 planes destroyed (? by shi-'s
AA, 4 by CAP), no damage reported to our ships.
(c) 0745-0915/k May; about 70 planes approaching from North at
high altitude in 14. raids: 54 planes destroyed (l? by
ships AA, 12 suicides 29 by CAP and 1 by PBM on A/S
patrol). 9 shi"s hit including 2 destroyers,1 LSM sunk
1 light cruiser and. lesser units damaged.
The above reports are incomplete and are subject to levision but a
summary thereof indicates a total of 150-155 enemy planes involved of
which 83 were destroyed. Considerable use was made by the enemy of the
"BAKA" bombs (piloted jet propelled suicide bombs) and most of the damage
suffered seems to have been inflicted by these weapons: normal bombing
and torpedo attacks were also utilized but with little if any effect.
The speed-boat attacks night 3-4 May involved assaults of both
East and West coasts of Okinawa and in total 15 boats were destroyed:
only one allied ship was damaged as a result of these attacks and the
damage to this ship was not great.
The above attacks were apprently preceeded by attempted reconnaissan'
of the Okinawa a.-:-:u as at 1605/3 May an enemy reconnaissance plane **as
shot down by air patrol at a height of 27-000 ft. 70 miles N.N.E. of
Okinawa.
On 3 May, naval support was provided to our forces on Okinawa by
battleships cruisers and destroyers; various caves, revetments, building,
and guns were damaged or destroyed. In addition, direct air support and
air cover was provided by airdraft from land bases, escort carriers and
fast carrier groups.
Aircraft from escort carriers repeated their attacks on 3 May on
Sakishima airfields; aJl fields on Miyako and Ishigaki (abo”t 7 fields
in all) were found to have been repaired, with the exception of Sukama,
and operative aircraft were discovered well concealed in dispersal areas.
This report is significant in so far th t the first phase of enemy
air offensiveagainst Okinawa night 3-4 May involved planes approaching
from S.W. as reported above.
At 2100/2 May a subm rine contact was recorded by U. S. destroyer
on a direct line between Okinawa, dnd Saipan approx. 450 miles N.flf.. of
Saipan. Another contact was re orted in the same area at 0510/3 May:
attacks were made on both contacts with undetermined results.
2 . FORMOSA - Night 3-4 May Kiirun Ha bor was bombed by 1 B-24.
3. CHINA-FRENCH IND0 CHINA COAST - No sign of any significant shipping ’^as observed
by reconnaissance 4 ^ay: a number of sma.ll craft were effectively attack
ed by planes during patrols.
On 4 May Saigon oil storage facilities were agin bobbed by 41 B_24*s
causing extensive fires. The navy yard at Saigon were also bombed by
another 6 B-24’s. Interception of one formation of B-2 4 's was effected
by 15 enemy fighters causing nothing more than damage to the B-24's: 2
fighters were shot down and 5 more damaged.
5 . WEST.COAST BORNEO - Reconnaissance 5 Mpy revealed a number of small shins but
nothing of any particular significance.
On 3 May 2 PB4??s attacked ship-building yards at Pontianak (S.W.
coast) claimingthe destruction of 8 coasters ( 4 in river, 4 on slijsrways)
and 6 launces besides damaging 11 other coasters or small craft and
inflicting much damage to the yards.

Summary No. 1193
SQTTTH^STERN ISLANDS - - Further reports concerning the enemy activity at Okinawa
night 3-4 May relate that counter-landings were attempted behind cur lines
and large scale counter-att' cks were coordinated with the intensified sir
offensive reported in yesterdays Summary.
Three shore-to-shore landings were made by the enemy on the West coas
involving some 600 Jans in barges and small craft spead from Kuwa (On W.
coast due West of Machine to airstrip) to a noint some 4~- miles farther up
the croast: an estimated 150 Jans only remain out of these, parties and
they are in a. po'-ifcet which was being reduced P.M. 4 May: the remainder
were liquidated man^ly on the beach in aid of which cruiser/destroyer gunfire
played a bir part. A similar landing on the East coast is stated by
a prisoner to have involved, abort 300 troops in 3 echelons; some have been
killed and others are cornered in caves but'the remainder were still at
.Ir.rgo- midnight 4-5 May.
The enemy land counter-attacks were preceded by very heavy artillery
concentrations night 3-4 May along the entire front particularly in the
center and on the East flank and by shelling of Kadena airfield.. Large
scale attacks involving at least an estimated enemy regiment supported by
12-15 tanks were launched against our positions in the left-central sector
of our line in the vicinity of Kochi. By 1030/4 May the counter-attack had
been broken up and enemy forces were being systematically destroyed. In
addition 20-30 attempts at infiltration were ma'e by the enemy after daybreak
4 May: these were all repulsed. Strafing from the air combined wit:
artillery played a big p*rt in breaking up the enemy offensive.
As reported in Yesterday’s Summary No. 1192, enemy air coordination
with the above land and amphibious counteraction involved 3 phases of
attacks; prior midnight 3-4 May, prior dawn 4 May and post dawn 4 May
involving a total of about 135 aircraft of which 83 were shot down or
destroyed. Targets for enemy Planes were mainly ships in the area hut
Kadena and Yontan airfields were also attacked.
A subsequent report indicates that enemy air activity continued over
Okinawa at le-st throughout the morning and. early afternoon 4- May as land-
based fighter cover is credited with 45 enemy planes shot down u p to
1500/4 May an* Fast Carrier Groups with 92 during 4 May including 21 over
Amami-0 Is. and KSkai plus 71 over Okinawa. Seme duplication of claims
may exist in the foregoing figures but it would appear that at least 190
enemy planes were destroyed between night fall 3 May and dusk 4. May.
Reports of XI. S. Fast Carrier Groups operations on 2 and 3 Mry over
Northern Islands of the South?western Chain including airdromes on Kikau,
Tokuno and Tangega Islands relate that 2 enemy planes were shot down,
1 was destroyed and 1 9 damaged on the ground.
FORMOSA - Night 4-5 May, Shinchiku airdrome was bombed by 2 3-24's.
On 5 May, Formosa airdromes ware again attacked:-
Shinchfku: -y 17 B-24's with 34 tons bombs.
Giran by 12 P-51's.
Matsuyama by 16 P-51’s.

The enemy counter-attacks were renewed again at dawn 5 May supported
by tanks and preceded by art,ille"v bombardment, again in the left-Central

(ii) ENEMY FORCES
SEDRBT
Summary No. 1196
1 , SOUTHWESTERN ISLANDS - On Southern Okinawa advances of 400-600 yards were
reported on 7 May along the front. Support continues to troops ashore by
battleship cruiser and destroyer bombardment in addition to air strikes by
land-based fighter-bombers and planes from fast carrier groups and escort
carriers.
There was no enemy air activity over Okinawa on 7 May after the predawn
raids that day involving some 20 aircraft, as previously reported.
Night 7/8 May was also quiet with no enemy air activity.
On 7 May Sakashima airdromes were worked over by aircraft from escort
carriers,
2. FORMOSA - Taihoku Town was bombed night 7/S May by 1 B-24. Bad weather again
necessitated cancellation of strikes scheduled against Formosa airdromes
on 8
3. CHINA-FRENCH INDO CHINA COAST - Night 7/8 May Shanghai oil facilities were^
bombed by 1 B-24 and Tien Ho airdrome, near Canton, was bombed by another
B-24. . ..
Little shipping was seen by H34Y's again on 8 May. At Amoy 8 small
freighters, 1 large landing crait and 2 small escort vessels were observed a
4 small craft were sighted around Hainan shores.and Off Hongkong 2 subchasers
were seen at anchor: the last named 2 vessels were attacked as a
result of which 1 was sunk.by bombs and the other damaged by severe strafing
Railroad facilities along F.I.C. coast South of Tourane were subjected
to 2 strikes by B-24’s involving formations of 24 planes each, and by 2
FB4Y!s on 8 May: 4 bridges were hit and partially demolished, rolling stock
and tracks were also damaged.
Z. MAT,AYA • On 7 May a coaster beached 15 miles N of Kuala Trengganu (central NE
coast) was strafed by a PB£X and let on fire, and another sea truck was
attacked and left sinking just North of Lingga archipelago. Sightings in
this area included a probably landing strip near Kuala Trengganu: the Kota
Baru strip appeared serviceable. A single enemy fighter made a weak pass
at a FB4Y near Kuantan.
5« WEST COAST BORNEO - Air strikes and sweeps along this coast from Kudat to Kuchir
were repeated 7 and 8 May. Miri was bombed by 7 PV's and Labuan^by 7 B-25*s
14 P-38's on 7 May: Jesselton railroad bridge and other targets in the
vicinity were attacked by 18 P-38's, Kuching airdrome by 2 flights each of
5 B-25‘s and small craft at Kuching by 7 P-38*s on 8 May. On Kuching
airdrome 3 unserviceable aircraft were left burning and facilities were
damaged,
6. PHILIPPINES
(1) Luzon Land Activity - Operations continued 7-8 May on the same pattern os
recently. Further enemy positions in the approaches to Balete Pass vero
cleared and gains were made in the Ipo and Wnwa drives, against limited
opposition.
Air support was provided over Luzon on 8 May on a somewhat lighter
scale than usual due to weather conditions,
(2) Davao area - On 3 May, U.S. forces pushed 2 miles N of Davao City despite
stiff resistance and cleared several strong points E of Libby airfield.
A landing was made 8 May on W coast Samal Island, off Davao, and
enemy positions almost directly opposite Sassa airdrome were secured*
7. EAST ■.INDIES
(1) Tarakan - Land operations 8 May were limited to active patrolling along the
entire Svont, A patrol to Djoeata oil fields found the area unoccupied
although natives say that the Japs return to the village each night from
the nearby hills. Patrol reports strengthen the belief that the enemy’s
main defence positions are in the hills NE of Mt. Api.
(2) Darvel Bay - At 1730/8 May, 3 large floating mines were observed by a PBM in
Darvel Bay: strafing failed to detonate the mines,

B. CENTRAL PACIFIC
J M M
(1) Honshu - Photos of Kure 5 May show the following shipping present
1 Battleship nHARUNAtt
2 "ISEVHYUGA" battleship/carriers
1 ’'UNRYU'1 class carrier hull
2 heavy cruisers "TOME 1 ''AOBA1'
2 light cruisers l,OYODOl* ''SAKAWA1'
7 destroyers (2 "TERUTSUKI" and 5 "MATSIP’class)
The positions in which the 2 carriers "AKAGIMKATSURAGIn were situated on
28 April were not covered.
Photos of Shimonoseki Straits 6 May show:-
4 escort vessels
4 LSM
1 Hospital ship
76 merchant ships totalling 115,000 tons.
Night 5/6 May the Inland Sea in addition to waters near Tokyo and
Nagoya were mined by strong forces of B-29's. ...
(2) Kvushu - On 7 May at least 4 airdromes on Kyushu were bombed by 41
E n W aerial opposition was heavy and aggressive particularly over Oita
(3) S o u t h Coast - PB4I’s attacked small shipping off S coast Jap an between T°kY°
on 8 May with effect: 4 coasters or seatrucks and 1 large fishin*
boat were sunk or destroyed, 1 coaster was left burning well and 5 coas ers
13 large fishing boats were well strafed.
2 YELLOW SEA » With reference to the cruiser-destroyer force reported at Shoan
* Harbour on 6 May, which included 1 MACBA" heavy cruiser and 1 "AGANQ" class
light cruiser the report is now treated with reserve in view of the presenc
of the only known existing units of these 2 classes at Kure on 5 May, as
shown by photos. The identities of the units sighted in Shoan Harbour
were probably exaggerated.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT NAVAL DEVELOPMENTS
(1) Decreased cnainy activity generally at Okinawa.
(2) Effective strikes by Blue air patrols and sweeps in waters off 5 coast Japan.
(3) Further mining of Japanes waters and B-29 strikes on Kyushu.
(4) Photos of naval units at Kure. G. J. CONNOR

WESTERN PACIFIC
(ii) E ^MY FORCES
SECRET
Summary No. 1200
SQTTTff^ESTERN ISLANDS - Reports concerning lend operations on Southern Okinawa.
indicate continued slo^ nro'Tress against stiff and well organised resistance
combined with frequent minor counter-attacks and inflitration tactic?
On the West flank U. S. Marines have advanced to the outskirts of Amike
(which practically joins with Northern outskirts of :>!aha.) and have occurtied
Dakeshi (1000 vds. N.tP. of Svuri) after reducing strong Ja^ riositions and
major portion of Jap salient which has resisted all dfforts during the
past week. From Da.keshi the frort runs on a g?neral N.W. to SvE. i'^egular
line to Kibara (anprox. 1250 yds. S.W. of Southern end of Yonabaru strip).
Kibara is encompassed within our front line which then runs in a ^.E.
direction parallel with Yonabaru strip and about 1000 yds. distant therefrom,
swinging due East to the coast across the Northern end of Yonabaru
strip a. small Portion of which is in our hands.
Direct support is being provided to troops ashore by Naval gunfire
from battleships, cruisers and destroyers arid by aircraft from land bases,
fast carrier and. escort carriers.
Enemy casualties to 2400/10 May total 39,4-69 dead; prisoners number
614 of which 298 are combat troops.
Further detail of enemy air activity A.M. 11 May does not change the
scale of effort originally reported i.e., about 35 planes pre-dawn and
75 from 0800-0900/11, but re-assessment of enemy losses indicates a total
of 93 destroyed (60 by CAP, 28 by shins and shore AA, and 5 suicides).
The total of 28 shot down by AA includes 19 by one U. S. destroyer, belie^
ed to be a record for any single ship in one engagement; the destroyer
was hit by 1 bomb and 1 suicide and another suicide crashed close alongside.
The destrover was last reported, "in danger of sinking".
Little detail is available concerning enemy air activity over Okinawa
subseciuent to 0900/11 May but at least 2 enemy fighters were over at 1910/
12 May and both made suicide dives on a U. S. battleship causing some
damage.
On 11 May, a U. S. Fast Carrier Group attacked Tokuno airfield (an
island 65 miles N.E. of Okinawa)with 88 planes destroying 4 and ^amaaing
2 enemy planes on the ground; serviceability of the planes on the ground
was apparently uncertain.
Also on 1 1 May, Sakishima airfields were worked over ^y aircraft
from escort carriers damaging 1 airborne enemy plane and damaging 3 on
the ground: runways at Ishigaki, Miyara, Hirara and Nobara "ere all effectively
bombed: dispersal areas were rockted and bombed.
FCPT-’OSA - Night 11-12 May Shincbiku airdrome was bombed by 1 B-24.
Weather prevented all air strikes scheduled against Formosa on 12 May
HHINA-FRENCH I>TD0 CHINA COAST - Night 11-12 May Tien Ho airdrome at Canton was
bombed by 1 B-"4 and shipping off Shanghai was attacked by 1 other B-24:
1 coaster and 1 sub-chaser wore damaged.
Reconnaissance 12 May revealed only the usual light concentrations of
small craft at Yulin (Hainan), Hong Kong, Amoy, Swatow and in Pescadores.
On 12 May railroad bridges along F.I.C. coast wer? the main targets
for 39 B-241s which dropoed 9l| tons of 1000 lb. bombs: 8-10 bridges
between Tourane and Nha Trang ’-ere hit and partially demolished, 3 locomotives
were destroyed and 3 damaged in addition to da.ma.ge inflicted on installations
and track. One or possibly 2 flights of 5-6 enemy fighters were
seen airborne but no interception was effected. 2 B-24's were lost; cause

On Southern Okinawa advan^-s continued 12-13 May. .U. S. Marines
on the Western flank have penewaudd the Northern outskirts of Takamotoji
(Northe in suburb of Naha) and sent patrols across Asato river to investigat
the approaches and strength of Naha. On the Ea.stern flank, U. S. Army
forces inade ga?’0c between Yonabaru and Shuri and are approahhing the crest
of a'hill guarding the approaches to both these towns. There was little
change in the center of the line. Strong enemy resistance was encountered
during all advances.
At 1500/13 May, the front line ran from positions on the North bank
of Asato river on Fest coast enclosing the Northern outskirts ot Takamotoj
thence roughly in a semi—circle on a radius of 1 0 0 0 —1 5 0 0 yds around the
Northern portion of Shuri town; thence in an Easterly direction to the
Northern slopes of the conical hill just North of Yonabaru town; then in
a Northeasterly rlirection pars 11 el to but not enclosing Yonabaru strip
swinging Bast to the E. coast near the Northern end of Yonabaru strip.

troop and 317 labor cotps.

suffered by our ships or shore installations and no claim, of damage to
enemy planes is made’ . although night fignters contacted 2 floatplanes
amongst the raiders.
Further detail of the enemy air attacks A.M. 11 May give a good insight
into the ferocity and fanatical aggression of the offensive. The
TT. S. destroyer which llaimed to have shot/l.9 enemy planes in the period
shortly after daybreak 1 1 May, was one of a picket group involving in
all 2 destroyers, 1 LSM and 3 LCS. This group was apparehtly under continuous
attack for 1 hour 3 5 minutes by at least 5 0 enemy planes: detail;
of claims are not yet clearly available but at least 23 were destroyed
and possibly over 40. Percentage of attempted suicide crashes was very

Summary No, 1208
(1) Okinawa - Land activities on southern Okinawa were directed mainly towards
Shuri on 19 May gradually squeezing this enemy stronghold.
On the right flank Marines penetrated a little further into the
_ suburbs of Naha, north of the Asato River, and the bridgehead across Asato
^ River near the mouth is being broadened somewhat. A local enemy counterattack
east of Takamotoji on 19 May was repulsed.
Army forces in the centre of the line are systematically
eliminating enemy positions, which are being stubbornly defended, on the
northern slopes of the Shuri Hill mass. The advance on Shuri from the NE
is being retarded by a virtual fortress on a hill midway between Shuri
and Kibara, Slight advances have been made up the northern and around
the eastern slopes of Conical Hill, just north of Yonabaru Town.
Air and artillery support were someyfhat hampered 19 May by low
visibility but 2 4 4 sorties v/ere flown by carrier-borne and land-based
planes dropping 34 tons bombs and firing 206 rockets at enemy pQsitions.
Effective strong naval support was provided 19 May by battleships cruisers
and destroyers hitting caves and artillery emplacements.
Further detail of the enemy air raids over Okinawa from dusk to
2335/18 May by 30-35 enemy planes (as reported in yesterday’s summary *
-NoV 1207) reveals that 1 LST was hit by abbrahb and an APD v/as missed by
b 2 suiciders in a coordinated attack: both crashed close aboard. In
addition some 15 bombs were dropped on Yontan airfield causing some
daiiipge to aircraft and craterin,; both runways. The total of enemy planes
destroyed during these raids is now reported as 16: 9 by CAP, 7 by ships
AAS including attempted suicides.
Enemy shore fire on 18 May caused the loss of aruSrS-. destroyer
which had previously grounded on a reef SW of Naha airdrome while conduct!
fire support, f j
Enemy dead have mounted by 3,565 during the 24 hours ended 2400/18,
making the total 51,668: Jap prisoners totalled at that time 921, includi.
5 5 5 combat troops and 3 6 6 labor corps. .
(2) Amnvi Group - On 16, 17 and 18 May, airfields installations and small type
shipping in Amami Group were attacked by aircraft from U.S. fast carrier

and 4 May 1945 and tbit during the same period 20,000 Japs with 31 tanks
and 32 artillery pieces moved from Bangkok into French Indo China. This
tends to corroborate previous reports that Jap elements have been withdrawing
steadily from Burma into French Indo China,

Summary No. 1209
(1) Okinawa Report of land activity on Southern Okinawa up to 1700/21 May indicat 1
Substantial gains by1# AS-. Mari-’i s and A m y forces in several important
sectors of the front. These pr is were made despite another series of
coordinated counter-attacks evening and night 20 May.
On the right flank, the bridgehead at the mouth of Asato river has
\ been broadened and patrols continue to operate in Naha without much inter-j
ference; the town is apparently to a great extent in ruins. The'Marines
along- the North bank of Asato river right through Naha-Takamotoji town
are facing .Tap defensive positions organized in tombs on hillsides.within
the city on the South side of ths river.
"Sugar Loaf" hill, just N.E. of Takamotoji, is now completely secure
following bitter fighting during the course of which this spur changed
hands 11 times.
At 2215/20 May, an estimated 500 Japs counter-attacked at the Eastern
perimeter of Takamotoji but were repulsed with the loss of half their
numbers: some of the Japs were wearing U, S. uniforms and carrying U. S.
weapons, presumably accmired from U. S. casualties left behind of necessity
when territory has changed hands rapidly. *
At 2250/20 May, 3 groups of Japs, with charges strapped to their
waists attacked a U. S, Marine tank company; the attack was repulsed
without loss of tanks. This ac don eccured a little further East from
Takamotoji and follows § 3 day lull in such activity involving infilfcratic
and suicide anti-tank attacks.
On 21 May, the village of Taira Maopi (Northern outskirts of Shuri)
was captured after .Army troops had entered the village the previous
day. The enemy defended the village bitterly and made a vicious but
unsuccesful attempt to retake the village late afternoon 21’May.
East of Shuri, .EL, ,S— ..Aa»y "orces made gains of 500 yds. up the steep
slopes of "Chocolate Drop" hill (4-00 yds. E. of Shuri) on 20-21 May.
On the left flank S^S^-Artay units reached the summit of Conical
hill and pushed flanking elements around either side of the hill on 20
May. The nest day substantial ains were made down the Southern slopes
of Conical hill and, at last report, fighting was in progress just North
of Honabaru town.
As indicated/jffce enemy is bitterly contesting every advance made by
ifresS. forces alon§“the entire line using grenades, small arms fire,
automatic weapons, mortars and concentrated artillery fire at times:
interlocking bear-.s of fire are being experienced from well-placed end
well-concealed fortified positions.
In Northern Okinawa mopping up continues in rugged terrain and.^eter-
minsd resistance is being encountered from isolated grou.'S of Japs.^j Jc\
Support was provided as usual on 20 May by naval and air unitsiT
battleships, cruisers and destroyers provided direct support hitting
artillery emplacements, blockhouses and caves; aircraft from fast carrie
groups, escort carriers and land-based tactical airforce flew 113 sortie1-,
in ciose-supnort dropping 1 1 3 tons bombs and 1 6 napalm tanks in addition
to_firing 754 rockets.
The attempted land counter-actions night 20 May were coordinated wit!
small err.ft or midget submarine activity off West coast. and 3 35 plane
raid on:ships in ths area. Numerous small craft contacts were reported
off West coast Okinawa including midget submarines. Some apparently
heading for the shore 1945-2030 May. All uncler-water contacts however
are beleived to have come from 2 or 3 midget submarines all of which ware
damaged or possibly destroyed as a result of counter measures. None of
our ships off Hagushi beach (North of Naha) were damaged.
The enemy air activity involved cbout 35 planes approaching from
North and West between 1320 and 2000/20 May concentrating lergely, if not
entirely, on ships mainly at Ie Is.; 26 enemy planes were destroved, 7
fighters by daylight CAP: 2 floatplanes by night fighters and 17 by
ships AA including at laastcfcusotiiGldeaOne destroyer, 2 APD's, 1 PMS and
1 LST (previously damrged and < iachea) were hit by suicides but all
remain afloat.
There was no enemy air activity reported over Okinawa night 19-20 M51;
Enemy casualties were incorrectly reported up to 2400/18 May, and adjusted
figures.to 2400/19 total 50,836 estimated dead.

A. WESTERN PACIFIC

SECRET
Summary No. 1212
1. SOPTHftESTERN ISLANDS - Rain and mud hampered ground operations generally on
southern Okinawa on 23 May but important moves were effected, particularly
on the flanks. On the right flank, elements of the 6th Mardiv forded the
Asato River about 1000 yards from the mouth to establish a bridgehead on^
the south bank in the northern outskirts of Naha town proper. The crossing
was effected in groups of 4 or 5 men wading across covered by artillery and
naval gunfire which laid a smoke screen in front of enemy positions in the
Naha hills south of the river: moderate enemy fire was encountered by the
Marines crossing the river.
On the left of the 6th Mardiv the 1st Mardiv experienced a counterattack
during early hours 23 May by an estimated 180 Japs in the vicinity
of Wana Ridge (1000 yds NR Shuri): the attack was beaten back with heavy
loss to the eneny.
In the left-central sector of the line, an estimated battalion of Jap£
launched a savage counter attack at 0430/23 May against the 96th Div over
the crest of a hill 1200 yds E of Shuri, and heavy close fighting ensued.
At one point the enemy penetrated 600 yds but after 3 hours fierce fighting
the line was restored entirely: the Japs left behind an estimated 150 dead.
On the left flank, elements of the 7th Inf lav pushed south from
Yonabaru into the Ozato Mura Hills capturing a hill feature just S of Taire
village (1200 yds S of Yonabaru). Coordinated with this southern drive,
other elements of 7th Div swung westwards and advanced 1000 yds along the
Yonabaru-Shuri road. Stiff opposition was experienced during these movements
and the gains were made despite the fact that heavy mud bogged down
tanks and supply vehicles. An enemy concentration which was forming in the
area between Yonabaru and Shuri was dispersed by mortar fire.
Enemy estimated killed to 2400/22 May total 56,190; 1,036 prisoners
have been taken including 663 military personnel and 373 labor troops.
On 23 May, naval and air support was limited by weather and poor
visibility: cruisers and destroyers however hit concrete emplacements and
pill-boxos, sealed several caves and dispersed Jap concentrations: aircraft
from escort carriers and land-based TAF provided close support in 93 sortie
with 33 tons bombs, 26 napalm tarks, and 521 rockets,
r
Eneny air activity has flared up again. After comparatively quiet
nights 22-23 and 23-24 May, persistent enemy air attacks commenced at 1930/
24/May and were still in progress at 2330/24. Early a.m. 23 May there were
5 heckling raids over le Island and during early evening 23 May there were
2 more harassing raids: the only damage reported during these raids was by
a bomb near miss on an LCS on picket duty. Commencing at 2330/23 May enenr
harassing raids apparently intensified and preliminary reports state that
1 destroyer shot down 6 enemy planes including 2 floatplanes during the
period 2330/23-0230/24 May. From 1930-2330/24 May persistant enemy air
attacks wore experienced in 19 raids involving an estimated 6 0 planes:
preliminary reports indicate at least 15 enemy planes destroyed without
damagodto surface craft. The attacks however appear to have been directed
at airfields but included at least 1 small airborne counter landing: an
enemy plane landed "wheels-upu on Yontan airfield and several Japs emerged
to attack parked planes with hand grenades: considerable damaged is report'
Increased small craft activity was apparently coordinated with the
intensified air attacks: several surface contacts of suspected torpedo boa'
\7 ere reported night 24 May but no further details are yet available.
2, FORMOSA - Night 22/23 May, Taihoku was bombed by 2 B-24's and Taito by 1 B-24.
Night 23/24 May Taihoku was again bombed by 2 B-24's and Takao by 1 B-24.
ii'eathoT prevented all scheduled heavy air strikes on Formosa targets
both 23 May and 24 May.
CHINA COAST - Night 22/23 May targets at Shanghai were bombed by 4 B-24's: a
freighter and large barge were attacked with unobserved results and fuel
storage areas were also bombed. Durihg the same night White Cloud airdrom
at Canton was bombed by 1 EJ-24. Single enemy planes ineffectively interce
the B**24,s over Shanghai and Canton.
Night 23/24 May shipping and fuel storage at Shanghai was again attac
by 2 B-24fs; a small freighter transport was hit and damaged. One enemy
fighter ineffectively attempted interception. White Cloud was also bombed
by 1 B-24 which was fired on by 2 airborne fighters without sustaining any
damaged. xj_ , , ...
Shipping in the Hainan-Luichow Peninsula area was also attacked mgnt
23/24 May by PBM's: a small tanker was sunk and a small freighter was
damaged by near misses and possibly sunk.

(i±) ENEMY FORCES. (Contd.)
4. FRENCH INDO CHINA COAST - Rolling stock and railroad facilities were again
attacked on 23 and 24 May by 2 and 3 PB4Y's respectively.
No shipping was seen on either day.
5. MALAYA - On 23 May, a PB4Y2 from Palawan conducted a thorough inspection of
Singapore Island and surrounding waters from 10,000-11,000 ft with visibil:
unlimited through partial cloud cover. Only 2 warships were observed via:-
1 "NACHI" class cruiser near berth No. 1 in the naval base.
1 "NACHI 1 or l,ATAG0" class cruiser 4,000 yds SE of the other cruise
Both cruisers wore covered fore and aft by awnings. Several merchant
ships including tankers were seen in the immediate Singapore vicinity but
no other warships. No shipping was seen up the E and W coasts of Malaya
for a distance of 10 miles from Singapore on either side.
No AA nor interception was experienced over Singapore.
Also on 23 May, a FB4Y from Palawan searched the area S of Singapore
with 100% coverage sighting nothing but a number of sailing vessels in
Riouw Archipelago and Lingga Islands.
A small convoy consisting of 1 small froighter transport and 2 escorts
was scon by a PB4Y off Kuant'an (central NE coast Malaya) on a general
southerly course at 12 knots at 1330/23 May: 2 fighters wore covering the
convoy and 1 made a pass at the PB4Y causing some damage. About 10 luggers,
or coasters were observed at or near Kuantan and as a result of attacks 1
coaster was destroyed and 1 lugger set on fire*
Prior to 15 May, it was known from photos that 3 heavy cruisers were
present in the Singapore area, viz: 1 effective "NACHI" class unit thought
to by nrL'iGURO", 1 damaged "NACHI" class cruiser (nMY0K0") and 1 "ATAG0"
class ("TAK^O") probably still non-effectivo. In addition another "NACHI"
class heavy cruiser ("ASHIGARA") was thought possibly to bo in the Singapoi
area, on the grounds largely that this unit had not been located in Japan
or elsewhere and she was known to have been at Singapore up to early Feb
1945. It is recalled that a "NACHI" class cruiser (estimated to be "HAGURC
was sunk by British fleet units in Malacca Straits 15/16 May: this coupled
with the fact that comprehensive search of Singapore area on 23 May reveals
only the 2 known (probably still non-effective) heavy cruisers in the area,
lends strong support to the view that these are the only 2 major naval
surface units present: the whereabouts of the other unit ("ASHIGARA")
remains unknown.
6. TffiEST COAST BORNEO - On 23 May, Heston Village noar Brunei was attacked by
11 B-25*s, Miri airdrome was bombed by 5 B-24's, Bintulu airdrome was
bombed by 12 B-24’s and Sibu was attacked by 12 B-25's.
7. PHILIPi-IKES
(1) Luzon Land Activity - All organized eneuy resistance has been broken in the
aroa 1^-2 miles W of Imugan, on the Villa Verde Trail, west of Balete Pass*
a small pockot of resistanco remains 1,500 yds MW, of Imugan.
On the E coast guerillas have occupied Infanta Town while Army troops
continue their approach to the town from the south, being at last report
l|r miles from the town.
Direct air support was provided by 408 fighter-bombers on 24 May
mainly in Ipo and Balete Pass areas.
As indirect support on 24 May targets up Cagayen Valley wore also
attacked; Aparri airdrome was bombed by 58 B-24*s, Lallo was bombed by
6 B-24*s, Tuguegarao and Bagabag jointly were attacked by 72 A-20’s,
24 B-25*s.
(2) Mindanao - Elements of 24 Div advancing N along Davao Gulf reached Binangonar
at the head of the Gulf on 24 Fay. The junction of U.S. forces on the
main N-S road (Sayre Hwy) and the clearing of ii coast Bavao Gulf,^reduces
activity on Mindanao to the stago of mopping up enemy remnants which have
taken to the hills. Considerable opposition continues however in the
hille immediately N of Davao.
Air support on a substantial scale utilizing SBD's and F4U's continue;
8.. EAST INDIES
(1) Tarakan •• Supported by naval bombardment (destroyers and lighter units) and
P-38 attacks further slight gains were made by AIF troops in the low hills
NE of Tarakan airfield on 23/24 May.
(2) North East Borneo - On 23 May Tawao supply aroa was bombed by 17 B-24's.
At 1300/23 May PT boats cooperating with 1 IBM shot up 2 motor boats

9. MEW GUINEA - Elomonts of 6th AIF Div advancing both E and W formed a junction
in Brandi Plantation, thus clearing the coast entirely as far as a point
about 12 miles E of Wewak. Coming up from the Hansa Bay aroa, Australian
forces have not proceeded past the Sepik River mouth, except for patrols.
On 23 May, suspected Jap Headquarters at Manokwari were bombed by
* 11 B-24's*
10. B ISi.uJ1CKS-S0L0M0NS - Further gains have been made by Australian troops on

(ii) BHEMY FORCES
SECRET
Summary Wo. 1213
(1) Okinawa - On Southern Okinawa, elements of 6th Marine Division expanded their
bridgehead on the Naha side of the Asato river on 25 May and are reported
to be established in strength there. The bridge head at last report was
approx. 800 yds. wide and 4 0 0 yds. deep* 2 bridges have been erected
across the river despite strong attempts by the enemy to destroy them by
artillery fire. U, S. tanks have been taken across the stream into Naha
but large numbers of mines have prevented their use in any strength.
j Heavy mud continues to prevent any significant gains in the. central
sector of the line but fortifications in the ghuri hill mass are being
pounded by artillery. The enemy is apparently attempting to reinforce
positions N.E. of Yonawa (W. of Yonabaru) under cover of strong artillery
fire.
/"On the left flank, incomplete reports indicate considerable activity
on 25 May including an attempt by'the Japs to isolate 7th Inf. Division
from the rest' of the XXIV Corps by cutting across the corridor feading
into tonabaru from the North, The corridor in crnr hands at this tboint is
only abaut § mile wide with the sea on the left flank. All attempts
by the jaos to eixt- off the 7th Infantry Division have failed completely
Little further detail is yet available on the renewed enemy air
offensive night 2U May; a significant feature however is that airfields
rather than ships appear to have been the principle objective. As previously
reported, approx, 60 enemy planes were over the area in 19 raids
between 1930 and'2330/24- lay, and attacks were still in progress at that
time. Of the total 60 enemy planes estimated involved, 23 were noted
over le Is, of which 16 were claimed destroyed by AA, and 18 ^ere notad
over Okinawa, all of which are reported destroy®! (6 by night fighters
and the remainder by JULor crash landings). Kadena airdrome on Okinawa
and the le Is. airdrome suffered only minor damage and remain operational
3 Jap planes crashed: on Yontan airdrome (Okinawa) attempting to land but
1 enemy medium bomber succeeded in making a "wheels-up" landing, as previously
reported. An estimated 15 Japs disembarked from the latter plane
and managed to destroy 7 parked planes besidas inflicting minor damage
on a number of others! in addition to destroying 2 fuel dumps and rendering
2 runways temporarily unserviceable; 12. of the Japs rTere killed.^
'Details of air and naval support 24- and 25 May are not yet available
(2V Sakishima - On 24 and 25 May neutralization of Sakishima Islands was conducted
by aircraft from British Carrier Task Force: during the 2 days operation
80 tons of bombs were stropped and all runways in the islands were believe
rendered unserviceable, ^t leat temporarily. No enemy air activity was
encountered and no aircraft were lost in combat.
2. CHINA COAST - Chinese sources have announced that Japanese forces were landed on
22 May at Hsia-pu, 60 miles N.E. of Foochow, by several warships. No
further srMiail is available but it is recalled that 9 small landing craft
already beached, were strafed and burned in a position 60 miles N.E. of
Foochow at 1405/22 May,.
Early A.M. 25 May, a number of 50 or more junks ^ere seen by a PBM
off St. Johns Island (55 miles W.S.W. of Macao) heading N.E. This is the
second report recently of numbers of small craft proceeding N.E. along
this sector of the coast under cover of darkness.
3. WEST COAST BORNEO - On 24 May, Jesselton was attacked by'.11 B-*25’s, Beaufort and
Lawas (both near Brunei Bay) were attacked by an aggregate of 18 B-25's,
Bintulu by 6 B*-245s and Sibu by 12. S-24ss.
jIILsq c& 24 Meys offensive patrols were repeated: a PB4Y attacked
shipping at or near ?~ntianak sinking 4 small coastal freighters and
damaging a- fifth.
4. PHILIPPINES ~ In the area North, of Balete Pass elements of the 25th Inf. Div.
* around the S.: and W. flanks of Santa Fe on 24-25 May against
negligible enemy resistance in an enveloping movements: last reoort
indicated that elements had reached Positions 7000 yds. N. of Santa. Fe.^
Along the direct approach to Santa, fe from the Pass heavy fire was received
from enemy positions along the Tayug river Gorge (1000-1500 yds. N.N.I
of Balete Pass).

SECRET
Summary No. 1215
(1) o y weather on 27 May continued to limit ground activity cn southern
Okinawa to a minimum on 27 May. Reinforcement of 6th Mardiv elements on
S side of Asato River was accomplished despite the fact that all bridges
except the ''bailey bridge1’ were washed away on 26 May by 'one flooded rrv-
~ In the centre of the line Japs were seen to be blowing up 15-20 cave-'
in the fortified area NW and W of Shuri in front of the 1st Mardiv j strorj
combat and reconnaissance patrols were maintained 27 May by 77 Inf Div,
but supply difficulties completely occupied the attention of 96 Inf Div*
In this sector a spotting plane reported on 26 May masses of Japs moving
S of Shuri and in the open in villages and along the roads in the area
1-g- to 4 miles S of Shuri. The trend of the movement is not specifically
reported but evidence generally indicates a movement out of Naha and Shu:,
southwards,, These masses of Japs were taken under heavy naval fire by
battleships cruisers and destroyers and subjected to severe air attacks
2 6 May and it is estimated that 500 Japs were killed, 1 truck and 5 tanks
destroyed*
On the left flank, elements of 7th Inf Div eliminated numerous Japs
in caves and tunnels which honeycomb the escarpment in the Ozato Kills
1-2 miles S of Yonabaru. Patrols pushed southward as far as Shinzato,
Oguzuku and Anasumi (all about miles distant from Yonabaru respectivel
SSE, S, and SSYJ of Yonabaru): huge stores of food ammunition and erquipmen
were found in caves at Oguzuku and Okyta within the areas patrolled.
Normal close support was provided 26 May by naval units and land
based aircraft.
Enemy air activity was resumed a.m. 26 May after a lull from noon
25 May to dawn 26 May. No actual attacks have been reported a.m. 26 May
but CAP shot down 2 fighters and a dive-bomber at 0815/26. P.m. 26 May^
a few enemy planes were over again and 1 ship (identity not yet ascertain
was hit by 2 suicide fighters at about 1600/26: the ship was later abando
In addition to these 2 suicides, at least 3 other enemy planes were shot
down by CAP during the period 1515-1605/26.
At 2320/25 May, 2 native sailing craft filled with Jap troops armed
with explosive charges and grenades were intercepted and destroyed by a
destroyer in Nakagusuku Bay (E coast Okinawa): the occupants resisted
capture and were all eliminated.
Night 26/27 May 2 good submarine contacts were reported in Okinawa
waters by A/S vessels: attacks were made without definite result but
considerable quantities of diesel oil, without debris came to the surface
after the attack on one contact.
Further details of the enemy air attacks 24-25 May reveal that out
of the total of 200 estimated enemy planes involved a grand total of 170
planes wore destroyed, including the 34 previously reported, apparently^
erroneously, as having^ been shot down by P-47*s over S Kyushu: this clain,
of 34 enemy planes destroyed is now stated to have been accomplished by
P-47's from Okinawa whilst returning from an abortive sortie to Kyushu.
Latest reports also reveal that 6 enemy medium bombers attempted to make
landings on iontan field that night: 5 were shot down by AA but the sixtr
effected a crash landing as previously reported.
(2) Sakashima Group - On 26 May runways at Ishigaki, IJJyara and Hirara airdromes^
were attacked and installations generally throughout Sakashimas were hit

(3) AmaiM^-Daito Groups * From 19-23 May inclusive airfields, seaplane phases and
installations at Minami Daito, and at Tokuno, Kikai and Amami Islands
were attacked by aircraft from U.S. fast carrier groups (TF 58): 1 enemy
plane was shot down and 4 were destroyed on the ground; 3 small craft
were sunk and 8 damaged.
2 . CHINA COAST - Night 26/27 May some 16 ships, all small to medium merchant ships
were observed by a PBM in the Yangtze River and near Shanghai: 2 freighte

Hongkong and 2 more schooners 20 miles S of St. Johns Island were strafed
by 2 other PBM*s»
P84Y*s over the coast 27 May saw no shipping of any significance: g
motor launch off-shore midway between Swatow and Hongkong was sunk by
direct boi?ib hit and 3 fuel and cargo laden barges were sunk 10 miles S of
Swatow,

unit described as an additional "NACHI" class cruiser, not previously
seen, was anchored just outside Singapore breakwater: this unit is reporte
as apparently fully operational. This report is from Visual observations

(ii) ENEMY FORCES
SECRET
Summary No, 1216
(1) Okinawa - The north shore of Naha Harbor was seized by 6th Mardiv 28 May
after an enemy platoon gguafding a road block had been driven out, A
patrol from 6th Mardiv crossed onto Ono lama Island which lies inside
Naha Harbor. The occupation of the harbor area was aided by 6 air
strikes. Enemy troops were seen moying_'SW out of Naha and were taken
under artillery fires tanks and trucks were destroyed and scattered
parties of Japs were dispersed in the area from Naha as far south as
Kunishi and Mexado (7 miles S of Naha), An estimated 800 troops in
these villages suffered extremely heavy losses during a 45 minute
concentration of !55 nim,artillery.
On the left flank, patrols from 7th Inf Div have pushed far south
with resistance reported inland only. One patrol reached the high ground
W of Sashiki Town placing them in the neck of Chinen Peninsula, Another
patrol following the coast captured a small pier near Baten (i 3/4 niles
SE of Yonabaru): 16 barges and many torpedoes in addition to crude
wooden torpedo launching racks were captured at or near this pier which
is believed to have been a small submarine base. Another patrol to
Karadera (2 miles SSW of Yonabaru) met fierce small arms fire.
No decrease in resistance is reported by patrols in the centre of
the line in fact a sharp counter-attack was launched against 1st Mardiv
lines 28 May. The desperate nature of these attacks is indicated by
the report that the .Japs used, amongst other weapons, "sachel charges"
attached to bamboo poles: the charges were flung manually after whirling
in the air in the manner of an athlete throwing the hammer. There was
further southward movement of Japs from Shuri seen 28 May, in groups of
200-300.
Air and naval support was provided 27 May as usual: Shuri castle
has been subjected to 3 days battleship bombardment: gun positions and
mechanized equipment were taken under battleships cruiser and destroyer
gunfire 27 May and were attacked by aircraft from escort carriers and
shore bases although weather conditions hampered operations somewhst.
Enemy air activity assumed increased proportions a.m. 27 May despite
extremely bad weather conditions during the mornings of both 27 and 28
May, During the night 27/28 May weather was clear with a bright moon
favoring the enemy attacks.
Between 0730 and 1130/27 May approx 25 enemy planes were over and
16 were destroyed (3 by CAP, 13 by ships AA including 4 suicide hits,
and 1 suicide near miss on 4 ships, destroyers or lesser units all of
which remain afloat).
The raids commenced again at 1700/27 and continued intermittently
all night and after daybreak until 0830/28 May. An estimated 125 planes
were involved and preliminary reports state that 61 of these were shot
down (7 by night CAP, 35 by day CAP, and 19 by ships including 8 suicide
hits and 1 suicide near miss): one destroyer was sunk ty suicide and 10
others damaged «» destroyers auxiliaries and merchant ships - all by
suicides except 2 .. Enemy aircraft involved were largely fighters dive-
bombers and medium bombers but at least 2 floatplanes were indentified.
Summing up, the enemy air activity during the period 0730/27 to
0830/28 involved an estimated 150 pianos in 56 raids of 2-4 planes each.
The earlier raids at least were by aircraft approaching from N and NE.
A total of 67 enemy planes are stated by preliminary reports to have been
destroyed including 15 suicides on 14 ships xvhich caused the loss of 1
destroyer. The enemy raiders made a determined attempt to penetrate the
transport anchorage to attack the major ships but the screen of destroyers
and lighter patrols kept them out most effectively.
As a result of attacks on one of the submarine contacts early a.m,
27 Hay SE of Kerama, a violent underwater explosion was felt and the
submarine believed destroyed,

Summary No, 1217
(1) Okinawa - No further detail is available on southern Okinawa land operations
subsequent to 1700/28 May, reported in yesterdays summary No. 1216. Close
support was provided 28 May by naval gunfire and aircraft from U. S, fast
carriers, escort carriers and land bases, but weather and low visibility hr.
hampered operations. Enemy shore batteries opened fire on support ships
off Naha evening 27 May without effect:; counter fire quickly silenced the
batteries and set an ammunition dump on fire. N
Eneny air activity was resumed on a light scale evening 28 May during
heavy rain: 3 small raids were carried out and 1 destroyer was hit by a
suicide plane. Additional claims of eneny aircraft destroyed during the
period dawn 27 May to evening 28 May during 59 raids involving 150-200
energy planes bring the total up to 117 - 7 by night CAP, 55 ty day CAP»
including interceptor missions towards Kyushu, and 53 by ships AA including
1 6 suicide hits or damaging near misses on 14 ships: other attempted
suicides were also reported, Only 3 ships suffered damage from origin
other than suicides: 1 by bomb, 1 by strafing and 1 by underwater object
which did not explode. Of this total 17 ships, 1 destroyer was sunk but
the rest remain afloat: the damaged units include 3 destroyers, 1 destroyer
escort, 2 destroyer transports, 2 minesweepers, 1 tug, 1 sub chaser, 2 LCS,
1 combat transport and 3 merchant ships. As can be seen, the Mast majority
of damaged was inflicted by suicides but there was a notable increase in
torpedo attacks, none of which was successful. Only 1 "Baka11 bomb was
reported and that was being carried by a medium bomber shot down by CAP.
An enemy submarine attack was reported by surface vessel in a position
about 330 miles E of Okinawa on 28 May: hunter-killer operations were

Div* with exception of a small part of the S .E . outskirts of the town.
To accomplish this, elements of 6 th Mar. Div. crossed the Naha canal,
which runs approx. N. to S . "bisecting the town, and advanced a farther
900 yds., to the S.E, 1
Also on 29 May, Shuri Castle standing on a hill in the Southern
outskirts of Shuri Town was captured by elements of 1st Mar. Div. which
pished a salient from the right, flank 1000 yds. Eastward in a movement
to encircle Shuri. However, enemy defending Shuri from the N* and N.E.
were still offering determined opposition on 29 May including an iaoffaGt-
ive counter-attack on 9 6 th Inf. Div. right flank at 2215/2 8 preceedea

interference.
V Enevry air activity was continued on a light scale during the 24
