Overview:

The 1st Battalion of the 306th pushed through the town of Ie and had reached positions near the Government House and the lower slopes of the Iegusugu Pinnacle. The Pinnacle was the nerve center of the Japanese defenses on the island, with fire from it causing the Americans many casualties in the preceding days. After beating off several fierce Japanese attacks during the night, the 306th was ready to attack the final Japanese bastion on Ie Shima.
