Fighting Bitter
On Southern
Okinawa
By LIEF ERICKSON
GUAM, April 24—Seventh
Division infantrymen captured an
important Japanese position atop
the high ground on the western
flank of the fiery battle line on
South Okinawa. Yesterday Ma
rines of the Third Amphibious
Corps landed on three more small
islands off Okinawa, securing
them quickly. Japanese resistance
continued heavy during the sixth
day of the all-out offensive on
southern Okinawa, where the en
emy have lost more than eleven
thousand killed since D Day, April
first.
The high ground seized was
west of the village of Ishin on
islands off the west coast. The
seventh Division in that sector
are bearing down on Macni Ato
airfield several hundred yards
away.
There is no reported progress
on the eastern flank or the bit
terly held central sector of the
rugged line.
The new islands invaded by the
Marines were Yagachi, Houri and
North Motobu peninsula which is
off the northwestern coast of Oki
nawa, and Heanza on the West
Katchin peninsula.
East coast Marines are mop
ping up the Japanese remnants
on Yagachi. Landings of others
yesterday were unopposed.
The Pacific fleet ships poured
heavy fire into the Japanese posi
tions, sealing numerous caves and
blasting blockhouses and pill
boxes and other elaborate de
fenses. American forces mean
time pushed preparations for im
mediate conversion of the cap
i
tured northern three-fourths of
Okinawa into bases for operations
against Japan.

at Supreme Headquarters believe.
American armies have captured
at least twelve German generals.
Yesterday in a Supreme Head
quarters statement it was said:
“German army has ceased to exist
as an integrated fighting force.” j
Bradley’s Twelfth Army group j
headquarters said in two insignif- i
icant instances, that German of
ficers recently told their troops
j “from now on it is every man
for himself.” In the narrow cor
ridor east of Leipzig, between the ;
Russians and General Bradley’s
|
troops, many Germans came vol- j
untarily to surrender to Amer-j
icans. Fifteen hundred come in j
one place alone.
