On the fifth day of the battle on Iwo Jima, the trials faced by the Japanese garrison were just beginning.

Especially the test of the soldier's heart, quite obvious.

Honda under the tree and some comrades from the outside of the folding mountain retreat, originally thought that the situation in the back of the folding mountain would be better, but the situation is even worse.

Although it has not yet been attacked by the ground of the enemy, the people here have a worse spirit.

Honda saw several soldiers belonging to the Navy garrison and were gathering together to discuss.

These Navy garrison soldiers intend to bypass Mount Yan to the other side and then find a way to tell the mainland about Iwo Jima.

In their view, if there is no contact with the domestic, how can the domestic know what kind of scene the battle on Iwo Jima is, and what kind of environment all the soldiers are fighting the enemy?

There is only one way to leave the mountain, that is, swimming, hoping to swim across the sea to Japan.

That night, Honda saw the soldiers of the Navy garrison, came to the sea, grabbed the wires that fell into the sea, and began to swim in the direction of the motherland.

In their self-encouraging words, if they are lucky, they may be able to drift to the motherland with the current.

This behavior lasted twice in total, and Honda could see that each time they worked quite hard, but without a while, they would be washed back to the coast by the sea.

People who can think of crossing the sea are not only these people coming, but unlike these people, there are a group of people who are more planned.

Their minds were clear, and it was impossible to return to their homeland from Iwo Jima, across 1, 250 kilometres, without ships.

But leaving Iwo Jima does not have to return to the motherland, but to other islands near Iwo Jima.

The 7th Base of the Japanese Fortress Command's Zhouzaki Airport and the Naval Water Base, the site of the Novihara Islands, is about 270 kilometers from Iwo Jima.

There are also some uninhabited islets around Iwo Jima, with Northern Iwo Jima about 80 kilometres north of Iwo Jima and Southern Iwo Jima about 60 kilometres to the south.

At this time, the enemy ships that surrounded Iwo Jima were much less than when they landed.

There are many soldiers who are considering taking advantage of the night to quietly break through the enemy's sea encirclement network and leave the underground trenches to get rid of this hellish life.

On the evening of the sixth day, Honda down the tree once again saw a wave of people leaving the tunnel, almost nine o'clock in the evening, a wave of twenty people, left.

When people were asked where they were going, they didn’t hide it, saying directly that they were ready for a raft to go to the Overa Islands.

The inquired, instead of following the idea, persuaded them not to do so, saying that this method was not realistic at all, but these people could not listen to it at all, and they lost their basic judgment, and the only thought in their minds was to leave Iwo Jima.

In the battlefield where there is no survival, these naval garrison, which does not belong to the army, desperately search for this hope, but more soldiers who can not find hope, so they take the initiative to give up their lives.

Honda did not laugh at this ridiculous way, nor did he despise this stupid to the extreme plan.

It was clear to him that in such a situation these people were already much better than most, at least their brains were still thinking, not lying in the pit like dead people.

In the past three days, Honda has seen multiple suicides in the past three days, and many people have chosen to commit suicide with grenades in the tunnel.

Instead of being shot by soldiers in the enemy country, or even by their own soldiers, it is better to end their lives with their own hands, many soldiers think so.Suicide can be said to be the last freedom of the Iwo Jima garrison remaining soldiers to choose for themselves.

However, suicide is also in need of knowledge and knowledge, Honda under the tree saw a suicide failed soldiers, grenades exploded, but because of the relationship between distance and pressure, did not directly kill the soldier, leaving a half-mutilated body, tidbiting for a long time, only slowly swallowed.

This kind of death is very painful, even pulling out the bayonet to end their own strength, and the soldiers around him, no one to help him to end this pain, not the soldiers do not want to help, but the officers do not allow.

There were no ten enemies, and suicide was prohibited.

After that, many soldiers who wanted to kill themselves with grenades also understood how to blow themselves up at once.

The hand grenade that lifts the security device, if the grenade is not kept tightly, there is a high probability that suicide will not be private, and it will not be fatal in the hand.

The best way is to press the grenade with the moon-Hungary after the fuse, so that it will die.

What is even more sad is that not every guarded soldier on the island is a hand grenade, and only a few soldiers are able to distribute the grenade.

Honda has two grenades under the tree, which is to prevent the enemy from being arrested, before suffering all kinds of insults, and means to kill the enemy as much as possible.

Some people came to Honda to borrow grenades, but Honda refused to go down the tree, because he could not be an accomplice in killing his companions.

And many non-combatants don’t even have weapons.

When he committed suicide again, three soldiers used a grenade together, but this case of many people using grenades, often difficult to die, but broke hands and feet, and then let the flies bite, the roaches gnaw, quite miserable.

Throughout the underground tunnels and trenches, the smell of blood was full of bloody smell all the time, and everyone who hid inside was already used to it.

Honda believes that those who can survive at this moment have something in common, and more belong to the biological instinct.

Most people think that even at the end of the road, they still believe that they have no problem and how to survive.

This also includes Honda under the tree, came to Iwo Jima these days, unwell to think of it once or twice, I may die in this place, but also often think, since it is dead anyway, why not give yourself a bullet, end this suffering and pain.

After all, compared to most soldiers, they are still good, there are bullets, there are grenades.

However, the biological instinct, each time can save this dangerous thought in time, the most thought is to change the status quo, and even evolved to think about how to eat the stone to survive, and strengthen their determination to survive.
