Reminds me of an Okinawa vet interview in the Summer 2008 GCA Journal. When he got to the top of Sugar Loaf, the Japs were fleeing down a long trench... he said he shot them in the back as they ran, went through two clips and enjoyed every shot.
"When I got to the top of the hill, there was a straight line trench and the Japanese were in the bottom of it. They looked like a black snake going down the middle of the trench. The reason they looked like a black snake was the soil on the sides of the trench was a lighter color from the light of the flares than the guys down there. The closest one to me was about thirty feet and I could hardly miss. I worked my way down the trench with my rifle and went through eight rounds and the clip flew out. I put another clip in and when I went back to work there was a separation where the last guy I shot was and where the next guy was crawling, so I knew where to shoot next. I was standing right on top of the hill shooting and the guy who had the BAR was lying at my feet. He said “Houston, get down, you crazy fool!” But I said, “It’s like shooting ducks in a barrel,” and I kept shooting. I shot them all in the back and, to tell you the truth, I felt real good about it because they had kicked the crap out of our platoon. I went through two full clips and had just started the next one when the whole top of the hill erupted all at one time."
An 88 brewed the tank up and two dead french crew men are extracted with reverence. you have been warned it is a bit graphic - May they have found peace and harmony in the arms of the almighty..
