American artillery coordination decimated Japanese banzai attacks

The End of the Samurai: How American Steel Crushed the Largest Banzai Attack in History In July 1944, hell broke loose on the island of Saipan. More than 4,300 Japanese soldiers launched the largest banzai attack in World War II history in a desperate attempt to reverse defeat. However, they were not only facing infantry, but also the well-oiled machine of American artillery. In this documentary, we take a detailed look at how the ancient code of Bushido was shattered by the reality of modern industrial warfare. You will see how revolutionary technologies—from SCR-300 radios to the deadly "Time-on-Target" tactic—turned artillery into pure mathematics of destruction. In just 15 hours, the Americans fired 12,000 shells with surgical precision, creating an impenetrable wall of steel. Based on declassified records, testimonies from Medal of Honor recipients, and archives from the National World War II Museum, we will show you the moment when technology finally triumphed over fanaticism. It also includes the incredible story of Captain Sakae Oba, who continued to resist in the jungle for another 16 months after this crushing defeat.
