Podcasts about Seppuku

Last time we spoke about the North Borneo Offensive. General Buckner's 10th Army captured strategic locations, including Shuri Castle, marking a turning point. Simultaneously, General Eichelberger's forces liberated Mindanao, overcoming tough Japanese defenses in the mountainous terrain. As they approached Malaybalay, fierce resistance resulted in heavy casualties, but the Americans persisted, inflicting significant losses on their foes. By June 9, the Americans pressed further into the enemy's defensive lines, leading to intense combat. The Marines landed on the Oroku Peninsula, where fierce fighting revealed the tenacity of the Japanese defenders. General Ushijima prepared for a final stand, as American forces began to encircle and dismantle Japanese positions. As the campaign unfolded, Australians under Brigadier Whitehead launched the North Borneo Offensive, landing on Tarakan and swiftly pushing the Japanese into the rugged interior.  This episode is Victory at Okinawa Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

By this point in the war, Japan was facing inevitable defeat, yet their resolve remained unbroken. They clung to the samurai spirit, determined to fight to the bitter end out of honor and duty. The stakes were high. Japan needed precious time to fortify its home islands, to stretch the conflict as long as possible. To achieve this, over 100,000 brave souls were sent into the fray, sacrificing their lives to slow the American advance and inflict as many casualties as they could. As we've explored in previous episodes, this fierce determination fueled their resistance. And now, we stand at a pivotal moment, the final days of the Battle of Okinawa, the last major confrontation of the Pacific War. As we last left the battlefield, it was June 16, General Buckner's 10th Army had made significant strides, capturing most of southern Okinawa and finally breaking through the last major enemy defenses at the Yaeju Dake-Yuza Dake Escarpment. The remnants of General Ushijima's 32nd Army were now locked in a desperate fight to hold onto the Kiyamu Peninsula, slowly being pushed back toward the sea and their ultimate demise. The following day, June 17, the assault continued with renewed determination. General Geiger's 3rd Amphibious Corps pressed on through Kunishi Ridge, while General Hodge's 24th Corps worked to consolidate its hard-won gains in the escarpment. On the west coast, General Shepherd's 6th Marine Division took action as Colonel Roberts' 22nd Marines stepped in to relieve the weary 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at the northern slope of Mezado Ridge. With a fierce spirit, they began to push southward, successfully securing most of the ridge. To the east, General Del Valle's 1st Marine Division forged ahead. Colonel Snedeker's fresh 3rd Battalion took over from the exhausted 1st Battalion and advanced 1,400 yards to seize the high ground just east of Mezado. Meanwhile, the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines fought hard to capture the remaining positions of Kunishi Ridge, achieving only a gradual extension to the east. Colonel Griebel's 3rd Battalion moved in behind them to reinforce the isolated Marines, bravely fending off a fierce counterattack under the cover of night. Further east, Colonel Dill's 382nd Regiment systematically eliminated the last enemy positions in the Yuza-Ozato-Yuza Dake area, while Colonel Halloran's 381st Regiment held firm and maintained their lines. In a key maneuver, Colonel Pachler's 17th Regiment launched a successful assault, capturing Hill 153 before Colonel Green's 184th Regiment took over during the night. Lastly, Colonel Finn's 32nd Regiment secured the reverse slopes of Hill 115, preparing to launch an attack on Mabuni and Hill 89. By nightfall, Hodge's 24th Corps had firmly secured all the commanding heights of the Yaeju Dake-Yuza Dake Escarpment. Most of Mezado Ridge and Kunishi Ridge were now in American hands, and Colonel Wallace's 8th Marines had landed in the rear to bolster the western push. For the first time, American forces across the line looked down upon nearly eight square miles of enemy-held territory, a staggering view of what lay ahead. Realizing they were forced from their last defensive positions and that their destruction was imminent, the 32nd Army began to unravel, collapsing into chaos. On June 18, Hodge's troops seized the opportunity to strike decisively. The 32nd Regiment advanced down the coast toward Mabuni, facing increasing resistance. The 184th Regiment moved down the reverse slopes of Hill 153, closing in on Medeera, while the 381st Regiment speedily crossed the plateau, tackling scattered enemy fire to seize the high ground just 400 yards north of Medeera. Simultaneously, Dill's 3rd Battalion crashed through a rugged maze of caves and pillboxes, making a daring 600-yard advance to the base of the rocky ridge north of Aragachi. To the west, Griebel's 1st Battalion circled the eastern end of Kunishi Ridge, battling heavy resistance to gain the lower slopes of Hill 79. Further west, Roberts' 2nd Battalion pushed through the 3rd and aimed for Kuwanga Ridge, successfully seizing an 1,800-yard stretch by late afternoon. As they advanced, the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines moved forward to occupy the eastern end of the ridge. Meanwhile, the remainder of the 22nd Marines began to mop up the remnants of resistance on Mezado Ridge. Tragedy struck when Colonel Roberts was tragically killed by a sniper near his observation post during this operation. Lieutenant-Colonel August Larson would succeed him in command. Sadly, Roberts would not be the only American commander to fall that day. In the heart of the Marine line, the 8th Marines were finally called into action in the morning to relieve the weary 7th Marines. After a rigorous artillery bombardment to soften up the enemy defenses, Wallace's 2nd Battalion began its advance south toward the Kuwanga-Makabe Road, successfully capturing the high ground just north of the road by late afternoon. Meanwhile, General Buckner decided to visit Wallace's command post on Mezado Ridge around midday. He observed the 8th Marines' steady progress in the valley, taking stock of their relentless push forward. Tragically, as he was leaving the observation post, disaster struck. Five artillery shells rained down, one striking a coral outcrop near him. The jagged shards of coral filled the air, and Buckner was mortally wounded in the chest. He died within minutes, just days shy of achieving his goal: the complete capture of Okinawa. With Buckner's passing, General Geiger, as the senior troop commander, took over temporary command of the 10th Army for the remainder of the battle. Buckner became the highest-ranking American military officer killed in World War II and would hold that somber distinction throughout the entire 20th century. On June 18, the final written order from General Ushijima of the 32nd Army outlined a daring escape plan. He designated an officer to lead the "Blood and Iron Youth Organization," tasked with conducting guerrilla warfare once organized combat had ceased. Simultaneously, he ordered his remaining troops to make their way to the northern mountains of Okinawa, where a small band of guerrillas was rumored to be operating.  In his message he congratulated them on fulfilling their "assigned mission in a manner which leaves nothing to regret." He urged them to "fight to the last and die for the eternal cause of loyalty to the Emperor." This movement was not to happen in haste. Soldiers were instructed to travel in small groups of two to five over the course of several days. They were urged to don civilian clothes and avoid confrontation whenever possible. In a clever stratagem, most of the army staff officers were directed to leave the command post disguised as native Okinawans, aiming to infiltrate American lines and find safety in northern Okinawa. Some individuals, like Colonel Yahara, were entrusted with the mission of reaching Japan to report to the Imperial General Headquarters. Others were tasked with organizing guerrilla operations, focusing on harassing the rear areas of the 10th Army and Island Command, determined to continue the fight against the American forces in any way they could. Again I have read Yahara's book on the battle of Okinawa and despite being full of apologetic stuff and attempts to make himself look better, its one of the most insightful books on the Japanese perspective. You get a lot of information on how bad it was for the Okinawan civilians in caves, harrowing stuff. I highly recommend it. The American attack pressed on into June 19, though it faced delays due to the influx of civilian and military prisoners. Not all of the 32nd Army survivors were imbued with a will "to die for the eternal cause of loyalty to the Emperor." Loudspeakers mounted on tanks in the 7th Division's front lines and on LCI's that cruised up and down the coast line were successful in convincing over 3,000 civilians to surrender. Far more significant, however, were the 106 Japanese soldiers and 238 Boeitai who voluntarily gave up during the division's advance on 19 June. The relentless attack of American troops, coupled with intensive efforts by psychological warfare teams, brought in increasing numbers of battle-weary Japanese and Okinawans who had decided that the war was lost and their cause was hopeless. It is not inconceivable that every enemy soldier who surrendered meant one less American casualty as the wind-up drive of Tenth Army continued. Despite these challenges, the 32nd Regiment advanced to within just 200 yards of the outskirts of Mabuni. Meanwhile, the 184th and 381st Regiments coordinated their efforts, closing in on Medeera from the south and east. The 382nd Regiment pressed forward, overcoming fierce resistance as they reached the ridges overlooking Aragachi. Tragically, General Easley became the third major high-ranking casualty in just two days. The 5th Marines launched multiple assaults on Hills 79 and 81, but their efforts were met with fierce opposition and ended in failure. Wallace's 3rd Battalion, facing only light resistance, captured Ibaru Ridge, the last high ground before the sea, before pushing onward to the coastal cliffs. On the eastern front, Griebel's 3rd Battalion successfully seized Makabe and then joined forces with the 8th Marines to secure the coastal zone. Colonel Shapley's 4th Marines advanced alongside the 8th Marines throughout most of the day but were unable to reach the coast, halted by a formidable enemy position along the Kiyamu-Gusuku hill mass. Further south, Colonel Whaling's 29th Marines passed through the 22nd Marines and moved rapidly, also facing light resistance, reaching the base of the Kiyamu-Gusuku hill mass to link up with the 4th Marines before nightfall. As darkness enveloped the battlefield, Shepherd launched an attack on the hill mass. The 4th Marines successfully seized Hill 80, but they could only establish strong positions on the left flank of Hill 72. The 29th Marines encountered minimal opposition as they swept forward toward the southern coast. Meanwhile, the 5th Marines continued their relentless assaults on Hills 79 and 81, managing to capture most of Hill 79 before losing the crest at the last moment. Their tank-infantry assaults against Hill 81, however, once again ended in defeat. Looking east toward Hodge's front on June 21, the 382nd Regiment cleared out the last remnants in Aragachi, while the 381st Regiment seized the northern outskirts of Medeera. In the dark hours of June 20, the last courier contact was made between the Medeera pocket and the Hill 89 pocket. General Amamiya, commander of the 24th Division, issued a desperate order directing all his units "to fight to the last man in their present positions." At the time he gave this ultimatum, he had very few infantrymen left to defend the Medeera position. The relentless advance of the Marines had nearly annihilated the 22nd and 32nd Regiments, while the 96th Division had decimated the 89th Regiment at Yuza Dake and Aragachi. With their ranks severely depleted, the remaining defenders were a ragtag collection of artillerymen, drivers, corpsmen, engineers, Boeitai, and headquarters personnel drawn from nearly every unit of the L-Day island garrison. Those who managed to avoid surrender or sought to evade capture fought with the fierce determination of fanatics, resolutely defending their positions against overwhelming odds. Meanwhile, Colonel Coolidge's 305th Regiment, engaged in a vigorous mopping-up operation behind the lines of the 96th Division, prepared for an assault on Makabe Ridge. The 184th Regiment managed to secure the hills overlooking Udo, and despite facing fierce resistance from hidden enemy forces in coral outcroppings and caves along the coastal cliffs, the 32nd Regiment fought its way to the eastern slope of Hill 89. Throughout June 21, a series of small local attacks and mopping-up actions occupied most units of the 24th Corps, often interrupted to allow large numbers of civilians and soldiers to surrender. In spite of the bitter and costly resistance, the 32nd Regiment successfully secured Mabuni and advanced up to the tableland atop Hill 89. Coolidge's 1st Battalion launched an assault on the hill south of Medeera behind a heavy mortar barrage, successfully capturing its crest. The 5th Marines completed the capture of Hill 79 and undertook a heavy, costly assault that ultimately led to the capture of Hill 81. The 7th and 8th Marines began the crucial task of flushing out remaining Japanese holdouts, while also dealing with the increasing wave of soldiers and civilians choosing to surrender. The 4th Marines executed a successful double envelopment of Hill 72 that secured the strategic Kiyamu-Gusuku ridge, and the 29th Marines met only very light resistance during their sweep of Ara Saki, the southernmost point of the island. This swift progress and the obvious collapse of major enemy opposition prompted General Geiger to declare that the island of Okinawa was secure and that organized enemy resistance had come to an end. That night, in a tragic turn of events, Generals Ushijima and Cho committed Seppuku in the cave housing their command post.  On the night of June 21, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru and Lieutenant General Cho Isamu, the commander and chief of staff of the 32nd Army, fulfilled their final obligation to the Emperor in a deeply traditional manner. In accordance with the warrior code of their homeland, they atoned for their inability to halt the American advance by committing Seppuku. On the evening of their planned departure, Ushijima hosted a banquet in the cave that served as their command post, featuring a large meal prepared by his cook, Tetsuo Nakamutam. The banquet was generously complemented with sake and the remaining stock of captured Black & White Scotch whisky provided by Cho. At 03:00 on June 22, both generals, adorned in their full field uniforms decorated with medals, led a small party of aides and staff officers out onto a narrow ledge at the cave entrance, which overlooked the ocean. American soldiers of the 32nd Regiment were stationed less than 100 feet away, completely unaware of the solemn preparations taking place for the suicide ceremony. First, Ushijima bared his abdomen to the ceremonial knife and thrust inward, followed by Cho, who then fell to the ground. As Ushijima made his final act, a simultaneous slash from the headquarters adjutant's saber struck his bowed neck. The two generals were secretly buried immediately after their deaths, their bodies going undiscovered until June 25, when patrols from the 32nd Regiment found them at the foot of the seaward cliff-face of Hill 89. General Cho had penned his own simple epitaph, stating, “22nd day, 6th month, 20th year of the Showa Era. I depart without regret, fear, shame, or obligations. Army Chief of Staff; Army Lieutenant General Cho, Isamu, age of departure 51 years. At this time and place, I hereby certify the foregoing.” Their deaths were witnessed by Colonel Yahara, who was the most senior officer captured by American forces. Yahara had requested Ushijima's permission to commit suicide as well, but the general had refused, saying, "If you die, there will be no one left who knows the truth about the battle of Okinawa. Bear the temporary shame but endure it. This is an order from your army commander." While many die-hard groups continued to fight until annihilation, an unprecedented number of Japanese soldiers, both officers and enlisted men, began to surrender. On that fateful day, Operation Ten-Go's final breaths were marked by the launch of the two-day tenth Kiksui mass attack, which saw only 45 kamikaze aircraft take to the skies. While this desperate attempt succeeded in sinking LSM-59 and damaging the destroyer escort Halloran, as well as the seaplane tenders Curtiss and Kenneth Whiting, the next day would bring even less impact, with only two landing ships sustaining damage during the final attack of the campaign. As communications from the 32nd Army fell silent, a deeply regretful Admiral Ugaki was forced to conclude the grim reality of their situation. He felt “greatly responsible for the calamity” but recognized that there was seemingly no alternative course that might have led to success. Throughout the defense of Okinawa, approximately 6,000 sorties were flown, including at least 1,900 kamikaze missions. However, the losses were staggering, with over 4,000 aircraft lost during these attacks. In contrast, Allied forces suffered the loss of 763 planes in the Okinawa campaign, with 305 of those being operational losses. Since the operation commenced, naval losses for Iceberg totaled an alarming 4,992 sailors dead, with 36 ships sunk and 374 damaged, accounting for 17% of all American naval losses in the Pacific War. Meanwhile, extensive and coordinated mop-up operations in southern Okinawa were essential before the area could be deemed secure for the planned construction of supply depots, airfields, training areas, and port facilities. In response, Colonel Mason's 1st Marines and Colonel Hamilton's 307th Regiment established blocking positions in the hills above the Naha-Yonabaru valley to thwart any Japanese attempts to infiltrate north. On June 22, the four assault divisions that had previously shattered the Kiyamu Peninsula defenses received orders to prepare for a sweeping advance to the north. Their mission was clear: destroy any remaining resistance, blow and seal all caves, bury the dead, and salvage any equipment, both friendly and enemy, left on the battlefield. The following day, General Joseph Stilwell arrived to take command of the 10th Army during the mop-up phase of the campaign. Meanwhile, units from the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions were engaged on the Komesu and Kiyamu-Gusuku Ridges, while the 7th Division probed Hill 89 and Mabuni. In the Medeera pocket, Coolidge's 3rd Battalion successfully seized Hill 85 on June 22. The 96th Division intensified its focus in the Medeera-Aragachi area, with elements of the 381st Regiment mopping up the last holdouts in the ruins of Medeera by June 23. Two days later, after a thorough search of the area south of the Yaeju Dake-Yuza Dake Escarpment, the 10th Army finally initiated its drive northward, with both corps taking responsibility for the ground they had captured in the previous month. On the morning of June 26, the reinforced Fleet Marine Force Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion landed unopposed on Kumejima, marking it as the last and largest of the Okinawa Islands selected for radar and fighter director sites. By the end of June, the mop-up operations in southern Okinawa had resulted in an estimated 8,975 Japanese killed and 3,808 prisoners of war added to the 10th Army's total. Overall, the Americans counted a staggering total of 10,755 prisoners of war and 107,539 Japanese dead, along with an estimated 23,764 believed to be sealed in caves or buried by their comrades. This cumulative casualty figure of 142,058 was "far above a reasonable estimate of military strength on the island," prompting 10th Army intelligence officers to conclude that at least 42,000 civilians had tragically fallen victim to artillery, naval, and air attacks due to their unfortunate proximity to Japanese combat forces and installations. American losses were also substantial, with 7,374 men recorded dead, 31,807 wounded, and 239 missing, in addition to 26,221 non-battle casualties. But now, it's time to leave Okinawa and return to Borneo to continue covering the North Borneo Offensive. As we last observed, by mid-June, General Wootten's 9th Australian Division had successfully executed two major amphibious landings on Brunei Bay. Brigadier Porter's 24th Brigade occupied most of Labuan Island, with the exception of the Pocket, while Brigadier Windeyer's 20th Brigade secured the Brunei area. By June 16, Wootten decided that since the enemy was withdrawing and showing no signs of mounting an attack, he would take control of the high ground stretching from Mempakul and Menumbok to Cape Nosong. This strategic move aimed to prevent the enemy from utilizing the track from Kota Klias to Karukan and to secure beaches for supply points during the planned advance northward. Accordingly, Porter ordered the 2/28th Battalion to reduce the Pocket. The recently landed 2/12th Commando Squadron was tasked with mopping up the outlying areas of the island. Meanwhile, the 2/32nd Battalion began preparing for an amphibious movement to Weston on the mainland east of Labuan, with plans to reconnoiter across country and by river towards Beaufort. The 2/43rd Battalion and the 2/11th Commando Squadron were also set to prepare for an amphibious reconnaissance in the Mempakul area. On June 14, the 2/28th Battalion launched its initial attack against the Pocket, following an artillery barrage. However, they were forced to withdraw in the face of intense machine-gun and mortar fire. In response, the 2/12th Field Regiment took over, bombarding the Pocket for the next six days and nights, hurling a staggering total of 140 tons of shells into it. On June 16, the 2/28th Battalion launched another assault, this time supported by tanks from the north, successfully capturing Lyon Ridge, despite sustaining heavy losses. After several more days of relentless artillery, naval, and air bombardment, the 2/28th launched a final assault on June 21, just as the Japanese attempted to send two raiding parties to infiltrate through the Australian lines and attack Labuan town and its airstrip. Although these raiders managed to catch the confused defenders off guard and inflicted several casualties, they were ultimately dealt with swiftly and without causing significant damage. Meanwhile, with the combined support of tanks and artillery, the 2/28th Battalion attacked the reduced garrison at the Pocket, breaking through Lushington Ridge and Eastman Spur to eliminate the remaining Japanese positions and completely clear the area. By the end of the Battle of Labuan, the Australians had achieved a decisive victory, with 389 Japanese soldiers killed and 11 taken prisoner, while suffering 34 Australian fatalities and 93 wounded. In parallel, following a successful reconnaissance on June 16, the 2/32nd Battalion landed unopposed at Weston on June 17. They quickly secured the area and established a patrol base at Lingkungan. Over the next few days, Australian patrols began probing north towards Bukau, occasionally clashing with Japanese parties. A company from the 2/32nd Battalion also established a patrol base at Gadong up the Padas River, finding no Japanese presence in the surrounding regions. From this position, the Australians were able to patrol along the Padas River in small craft, discovering they could reach Beaufort rapidly using this route, catching the enemy off guard. Meanwhile, on June 19, the 2/43rd Battalion and the 2/11th Independent Company landed unopposed at Mempakul, further solidifying the Australian presence in the area. Two days later, while the commandos worked to clear the Klias Peninsula, the 2/43rd Battalion launched an amphibious expedition up the Klias River. This mission successfully navigated through Singkorap and reached Kota Klias, confirming that Japanese forces were not present in significant strength along the river. As a result, the 2/43rd Battalion set out on June 22 to occupy Kota Klias without encountering any resistance. Given this positive momentum, Brigadier Porter ordered the 2/28th Battalion to take over operations from the 2/32nd Battalion in and around Weston. At the same time, the 2/43rd Battalion was tasked with marching through Kandu to attack Beaufort from the north. Additionally, the 2/32nd Battalion was directed to probe north along the Padas River and along the railway, drawing enemy attention away from the main Australian advance. Looking south, while the 2/17th Battalion remained around Brunei and the 2/15th Battalion probed along the river toward Limbang, Windeyer had ordered the 2/13th Battalion to prepare for an amphibious movement to the Miri-Lutong area. Brunei town had been severely battered by Allied bombers and Japanese demolitions. The troops were critical of the air force's practice of bombing conspicuous buildings even when they were unlikely to contain anything of military importance. In Brunei, for example, the bazaar and the cinema were destroyed, but neither was likely to have contained any Japanese men or material and their destruction and the destruction of similar buildings added to the distress of the civilians. The infantryman on the ground saw the effects of bombing at the receiving end. “The impression was gained, says the report of the 20th Brigade, that, in the oil producing and refining centres-Seria, Kuala Belait, Lutong, Miri much of the destruction served no military purpose. The destruction of the native bazaar and shop area in Kuala Belait, Brunei, Tutong and Miri seemed wanton.“ On June 16, the 2/17th finally moved out and occupied Tutong, successfully crossing the river at its mouth. From there, the battalion began its movement along the coast toward Seria. However, despite the strategic importance of the town's oil wells, there was only one encounter with the enemy at the Bira River on June 20 before the town was occupied the following day, only to find the oil wells ablaze.  At Seria, the oil wells were ablaze. From the broken pipes that topped each well, burning oil gushed forth like fire from immense, hissing Bunsen burners. The pressure was so intense that the oil, as clear as petrol, only ignited several inches away from the pipe. Once ignited, it transformed into a tumbling cloud of flame, accompanied by billowing blue-black smoke. At approximately 1,000 feet, the plumes from more than 30 fires merged into a single canopy of smoke. This horrifying spectacle of waste persisted day and night. The men around Seria fell asleep to the hissing and rumbling of an entire oilfield engulfed in flames and awoke to the same din. The Japanese had set fire to 37 wells, destroyed buildings and bridges, and attempted to incapacitate vehicles, pumps, and other equipment by removing essential components and either discarding them in rivers or burying them. Consequently, the Australian engineers faced the daunting task of extinguishing the fires with only their own equipment, along with abandoned gear they could repair or make functional. They relied on assistance from local natives who had observed the Japanese hiding parts and employed methods of improvisation and selective cannibalization to tackle the crisis. Meanwhile, by June 19, raiding elements of the 2/15th Battalion had successfully secured Limbang. From this location, they began sending patrols up the Limbang River toward Ukong, along the Pandaruan River to Anggun, and east toward Trusan. The following day, after a naval bombardment by three American destroyers, the 2/13th Battalion landed unopposed at Lutong and quickly secured the area. On June 21, the Australians crossed the river and advanced into Miri without facing any resistance, successfully occupying the town and its oilfield by June 23. Turning their attention back north, on June 24, the 2/43rd Battalion began its advance toward Beaufort, swiftly moving through Kandu and reaching a position just north of the Padas River the next day. In response to their progress, Brigadier Porter ordered the 2/32nd Battalion to seize the railway terminus and the spur leading down to the river just south of Beaufort, while the 2/43rd focused on capturing the high ground dominating Beaufort from the north and east. This coordinated attack was launched on June 26. By the end of the day, the leading company of the 2/32nd had reached the Padas River, approximately 2,000 yards west of the railway terminus, while the leading company of the 2/43rd secured the railway north of the Padas, similarly positioned about 2,000 yards from Beaufort. On June 27, the 2/43rd continued their offensive, rapidly capturing the high ground overlooking Beaufort. During the afternoon, one company ascended Mount Lawley and pursued the retreating Japanese, cutting off their escape route at a track junction, while another company moved into the town, taking possession early that night. In the following hours and throughout June 28, the Australians faced a series of heavy counterattacks as they worked to consolidate their positions. Meanwhile, the 2/32nd Battalion successfully captured the railway terminus, encountering only slight opposition, with one company executing a wide flanking maneuver to the Padas just upstream from Beaufort. Under heavy bombardment from artillery and mortars, the bulk of the 368th Independent Battalion began to retreat along the Australian-held track in the early hours of June 29. While many were killed during this withdrawal, most managed to escape. At intervals groups of two or three walked into the company area in the darkness and were killed. Fire was strictly controlled, and one platoon was credited with having killed 21 Japanese with 21 single shots fired at ranges of from five to 15 yards. One Japanese walked on to the track 50 yards from the foremost Australian Bren gun position and demanded the surrender of the Australians who were blocking the Japanese line of retreat. According to one observer his words were: "Surrender pliz, Ossie. You come. No?" He was promptly shot. One company counted 81 Japanese killed with "company weapons only" round the junction and estimated that at least 35 others had been killed; six Australians were slightly wounded.  By morning, the fighting was virtually over, and the mop-up of the disorganized enemy force commenced. The attack on Beaufort cost the 24th Brigade 7 men killed and 38 wounded, while the Australians counted 93 Japanese dead and took two prisoners. Meanwhile, the 2/28th Battalion secured Lumadan village, where it made contact with the 2/32nd. Porter then ordered this battalion to pursue the retreating Japanese eastward, successfully securing the Montenior Besar railway bridge by July 4. The 2/32nd Battalion proceeded to attack toward Papar, encountering little opposition as they captured Membakut on July 5, followed by Kimanis on July 10, and finally Papar on July 12. Turning back south, the 2/17th Battalion occupied Kuala Belait on June 24, where they discovered evidence of a massacre of Indian prisoners of war.  Indian prisoners of war began reaching the lines of the 2/17th Battalion at Seria on June 22. By the end of the month, a total of 41 had arrived, reporting a horrific event: on June 14, the Japanese had slaughtered a portion of a group of more than 100 Indian prisoners at Kuala Belait. The Australians discovered 24 charred bodies at the site, along with evidence indicating that others had also been killed. A report by the 2/17th noted, "The motive for the massacre is not clear, and whether a partial loss of rations, the waving of flags, or simply Japanese brutality was responsible cannot be determined." The surviving Indians were found to be starving, with many suffering from illness. Colonel Broadbent remarked, "The loyalty and fortitude of these Indians has been amazing and is a lesson to us all. Even now, their standard of discipline is high." Two days later, patrols made contact with the 2/13th Battalion at the Baram River. Pushing south along Riam Road, the patrols of the 2/13th clashed with the Japanese at South Knoll, which they captured by the end of the month. Throughout July, the 2/13th continued patrolling down Riam Road against some opposition, eventually pushing the Japanese beyond Bakam by August. At the same time, the 2/17th conducted deep patrols southward from Kuala Belait, particularly along the Baram River toward Bakung, Marudi, and Labi. Overall, Australian losses during the North Borneo Offensive totaled 114 killed and 221 wounded, while they captured 130 prisoners and accounted for at least 1,234 Japanese killed. Following the conclusion of conventional military operations, Wootten's troops began to support the efforts of Australian-sponsored native guerrillas operating in Sarawak under Operation Semut and in British North Borneo as part of Operation Agas.  Between March and July 1945, five Special Operations Australia “SOA” parties were inserted into North Borneo. The Agas 1 and 2 parties established networks of agents and guerrillas in northwestern Borneo, while the Agas 4 and 5 parties, landed on the east coast, achieved little in their missions. The Agas 3 party investigated the Ranau area at the request of the 1st Corps. The results of Operation Agas were mixed; although its parties established control over their respective areas of operation and provided intelligence of variable quality, they were responsible for killing fewer than 100 Japanese soldiers. In parallel, as part of Operation Semut, over 100 Allied personnel, mainly Australians, were inserted by air into Sarawak from March 1945, organized into four parties. These parties were tasked with collecting intelligence and establishing guerrilla forces. The indigenous Dayaks of Sarawak's interior enthusiastically joined these guerrilla groups, essentially allowing SOA personnel to lead small private armies. No. 200 Flight RAAF and the Royal Australian Navy's Snake-class junks played crucial roles in this campaign, facilitating the insertion of SOA personnel and supplies. The guerrilla forces launched attacks to gain control of the interior of Sarawak, while the 9th Division focused on coastal areas, oilfields, plantations, and ports in North Borneo. The guerrillas operated from patrol bases around Balai, Ridan, and Marudi, as well as in the mountains and along key waterways, including the Pandaruan and Limbang Rivers, and along the railway connecting Beaufort and Tenom. Their objective was to disrupt Japanese troop movements and interdict forces as they withdrew from the main combat zone. The RAAF conducted air strikes to support these lightly armed guerrillas, who at times had to evade better-armed Japanese units. These guerrilla forces successfully raided several key towns and facilities, significantly disrupting enemy movements and efforts. It is estimated that over 1,800 Japanese soldiers were killed in North Borneo through guerrilla actions, particularly by the fearsome Dayak people, whose fierce tactics and local knowledge played a crucial role in these operations.

In the final throes of the Pacific War, the Battle of Okinawa became a fierce battleground of sacrifice and honor. As American forces, led by General Buckner, advanced, they shattered Japanese defenses, pushing them into a desperate retreat. On June 21, General Ushijima and Lieutenant General Cho, recognizing their imminent defeat, committed seppuku, adhering to the samurai code. The chaotic battle led to staggering casualties, with many Japanese soldiers surrendering, realizing their cause was lost. By June's end, Okinawa was secured, symbolizing not only a victory but also the tragic cost of war, with countless lives lost on both sides.

Una buena anagnórisis te cambia la vida, con Carlos Giménez 'Seppuku' Abrimos la Trastienda de Shadowlands para recibir a Carlos Giménez 'Seppuku' y hablar de la anagnórisis, un recurso narrativo que viene del teatro griego y que seguro que has usado en partida. Se trata de una revelación importante, que cambia el sentido de lo que un personaje es o de lo que ha estado haciendo. En una frase: "Luke, yo soy tu padre". Carlos es autor del juego narrativo ‘Enemigos íntimos‘, en el que nos invita a construir la historia de un protagonista y su antagonista. En este podcast, citamos…— Timeless, un divertidisimo minijuego escrito por Carlos.— Despertados, de Enrique Camino, una aventura que incorpora muy bien la anagnórisis.— La revelación final, la más purista de todas las campañas de El Rastro de Cthulhu.

Qui est Yukio Mishima ?Yukio Mishima. Ce nom ne vous dit peut-être rien pourtant il y a 54 ans, cet homme va se faire “seppuku” (le suicide traditionnel japonais) après une tentative de coup d'état. Une histoire peu connue chez nous mais qu'il est bien plus au pays du soleil levant.

Le seppuku et le hara-kiri désignent tous deux une forme de suicide rituel au Japon pratiqué principalement par les samouraïs. Bien que ces deux termes soient parfois utilisés de manière interchangeable, il existe des différences dans leurs connotations et leur usage, tant linguistiquement qu'historiquement. 1. Origine et signification des termesLe terme seppuku (切腹) est un mot sino-japonais composé des caractères "切" (setsu, signifiant "couper") et "腹" (fuku, signifiant "ventre"). Il fait référence à l'acte de s'ouvrir le ventre. En revanche, hara-kiri (腹切り) est une version plus familière ou vulgaire du terme, littéralement "couper le ventre" dans l'ordre japonais. En somme, les deux termes désignent la même action, mais seppuku est un terme plus formel, utilisé dans un contexte rituel et codifié, tandis que hara-kiri est plus courant et peut avoir une connotation plus brutale ou désinvolte. 2. Contexte historique et rituelLe seppuku est un acte de suicide rituel profondément ancré dans la tradition des bushidō, le code d'honneur des samouraïs. Il était pratiqué pour préserver l'honneur après une défaite militaire, éviter la capture par l'ennemi, ou expier une faute grave. Le seppuku suivait un rituel extrêmement codifié. Le samouraï, vêtu de blanc, s'asseyait dans une posture spécifique, puis s'ouvrait le ventre à l'aide d'un tantō (un couteau court). Le but était de démontrer son courage, son contrôle de soi et sa loyauté. La procédure pouvait être accompagnée d'un second (appelé kaishakunin) qui décapitait rapidement le samouraï pour lui éviter des souffrances trop longues après l'ouverture du ventre. Le hara-kiri, quant à lui, désigne généralement le même acte d'ouverture du ventre, mais sans la connotation rituelle stricte. Ce terme a été popularisé par les étrangers au Japon au cours du XIXe siècle et est souvent employé dans un contexte moins formel pour désigner un suicide par disembowelment. Cependant, contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser, les Japonais eux-mêmes préfèrent largement utiliser le terme "seppuku", qui est considéré comme plus noble et respectueux. 3. Seppuku dans la culture japonaiseLe seppuku est resté un symbole puissant dans l'histoire et la culture japonaise. Historiquement, l'un des exemples les plus célèbres est celui de Minamoto no Yorimasa en 1180, le premier seppuku formellement enregistré dans l'histoire japonaise, pratiqué pour éviter la capture après une défaite. D'autres exemples célèbres incluent le seppuku de la bande des 47 rōnin en 1703, qui suivit le suicide de leur maître pour restaurer leur honneur. Au-delà des samouraïs, le seppuku a parfois été utilisé par des militaires et des civils, notamment durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, où des officiers japonais se donnaient la mort pour éviter la reddition. Plus récemment, l'écrivain et nationaliste Yukio Mishima commit seppuku en 1970, en signe de protestation contre la modernisation du Japon. 4. Distinction culturelle et éthiqueEn résumé, la différence principale entre seppuku et hara-kiri réside dans le niveau de formalité et de respect accordé à chaque terme. Le seppuku est considéré comme un acte noble, codifié par des siècles de traditions samouraïs, tandis que le hara-kiri est souvent perçu comme un terme plus vulgaire ou descriptif. Si les deux termes renvoient à l'acte d'ouvrir le ventre, leur usage dépend du contexte, de l'époque et des perceptions culturelles autour de cet acte. Hébergé par Acast.

If you know you know.Discussions include why aren't stunt artists recognised? The tragic yet inspiring story of a stunt gone wrong and how far are you willing to go before you let the experts step in.Tangents include committing Seppuku (relevant), Chappel Roan in the new Gladiator film, men are guilty and the M slur (M*cb#th). You can find us as @actingupthepodcast on all socials ;)We are @megan_alderson_ & @jordan.skidsArtwork by @those_who.tryWanna be on the pod?

Hey Strangers, #assassinscreed #japan #fact In Japan, a Change.org petition has surfaced to ban Assassin's Creed Shadows. It has now been a fair few weeks since Ubisoft lifted the lid on this year's Assassin's Creed title, announcing a dual protagonist adventure set in Feudal Japan – a setting that fans have been desperate to experience for many years. However, Japanese fans of the franchise were quick to voice their disappointment and concern about the game, with the most extreme claims suggesting that Ubisoft is floating racism and severe historical inaccuracy in Shadows, which is set to be released in November. ======================================= I had to Make a playlist for this lol https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl ************************************************** My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** article links: Please respect the creator and his work SHOHEI KONDO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ5_gjUWfTE https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/company/careers/locations/tokyo/ubisoft-japan https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/1cyrl7q/lgbtq_has_been_in_odyssey_valhalla_why_is_it_an/ https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/05/24/assassins-creed-shadows-lgbtq/ https://forums.escapistmagazine.com/threads/ubisofts-assassins-creed-opening-disclaimer-change-is-bizarre.137914/ https://www.thegamer.com/assassins-creed-shadows-yasuke-character-history-racism-woke/ https://celadonbooks.com/what-is-historical-fiction/ https://time.com/6039381/yasuke-black-samurai-true-story/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/who-was-yasuke-japans-first-black-samurai-180981416/ https://thejapanbox.com/blogs/japanese-samurai/harada-sanosuke https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8eg41r/what_would_happen_if_a_samurai_refused_to_commit/ https://www.quora.com/Were-there-any-cases-where-a-Samurai-did-not-commit-Seppuku-or-did-not-want-to-commit-Seppuku-after-a-defeat#:~:text=The%20founder%20of%20the%20swordsmanship,in%20order%20to%20avoid%20bloodshed. https://ihj.global/en/experts/ https://www.reddit.com/user/Current_Swan2791/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Samurai_Champloo https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-director-responds-to-the-many-fans-asking-for-a-waffle-house-level https://www.reddit.com/r/Animesuggest/comments/18ymjbz/anime_to_watch_if_ure_interested_in_hip_hop/ https://mai-ko.com/travel/culture-in-japan/japanese-culture-1/#:~:text=Samurai%20means%20%E2%80%9Cthe%20one%20who,samurai%20and%20avoid%20eye%2Dcontact. ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

This week on Comics and Chronic the boys are doing a half baked episode as Cody & Jake discuss FX's samurai show on Shogun.  Since it's pride month is Cody the Gay Lord of the podcast? A high praise.  Is Shogun going to be the best show of the year?  Is Mariko Sama hot as fuck!  Did this show make Cody watch more Asian porn?  Is the main white character a knock off Tom Hardy?  Since the show is in Japanese can you afford to not pay attention?  Should we be drinking Sake for this episode?  Is there a butt load of suicide in this show?  Has Cody chosen Jake to second him after he commits Seppuku?  Would Cody have survived feudal Japan?  Has the show been renewed already?  Is Scorpion from the new Mortal Kombat one of the main characters?  Does the show have similarities as far as political intrigue of Game Of Thrones?  Does Martin Scorsese's film Silence have a lot in common with Shogun?  Is the Catholic Church the true enemy of the show?  Does Anthony's character in the show kill himself?  Is the show brutal AF?  Was the costume design incredible?  Is the CGI heavy or action filled?  Does this show make us want to learn Japanese?  Could Betty Yayo beat Shogun?  Were the opening credits sick?  Did Atticus Ross do the music for Shogun?  Is Junkie XL underrated?  Should we do a Funny Games episode?  Was this a beautiful show?  Who portrayed feudal Japan better, Shogun or Ninja Turtles three?  Tune in this week to hear the answers to these philosophical questions.

It's the MISHIMA episode. It's also the Mishima episode, in a way. We do our best to discuss both Paul Schrader's 1985 art-biopic MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS and the man Yukio Mishima with our returning pal Comrade Yui, who has been on a real journey with this film. As you might expect, things get pretty weighty: the nature and purpose of art, Schrader's depiction of the suicide, whether you can be a bodybuilder without being fascist about it. This is a special one, folks.

Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast and sci-fi author, comes back on the show to talk about Yukio Mishima, once Japans most famous novelist, who led a failed project to restore imperial glory to the country- only to be booed and commit Seppuku. Joe talks to us about what Mishima's novels, and their preoccupations with death, tells us about his eventual fate. He also tells us about how Mishima developed the Shield Society, a private army of guys who were dedicated to getting shredded, and all in love with Mishima. Of course, we also talk about Mishimas posters impulse, and why it seems to resonate so much with the terminally online right today. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

This week, we're joined by Joe Kassabian, novelist and co-host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast, to talk about the spiritual poster's impulse of Yukio Mishima. -------- Once Japan's most famous post-war writer, Mishima's novels, including his most notable work "Confessions of a Mask", explored conflicts of identity of identity in post-Imperial Japan. As the novel shot Mishima into fame and literary stardom – and nearly got him a nobel prize – he later abandoned literature entirely, deciding to spend the rest of his life getting shredded, forming a militia of guys who wanted to kiss him, and failing to restore the imperial order. -------- Joe talks to us about how Mishima's life mirrors the poster's journey, what his final act of ritual Seppuku tells us about Mishima's preoccupations with martyrdom, and why it probably isn't a good idea to insult the people you want to join your uprising. ------ Listen to Lions Led By Donkeys: https://t.co/OFsh3JTqOf Buy Joe's latest book: https://t.co/DZgt2nsSCy

Did you Know FX Dubbed Shogun So You can Look at Your Phone AND Watch the Show? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss the new FX Mini-Series Shogun (and why mini-series are important to the TV and streaming landscape). Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The Art of the Mini-Series: 8:04 Shogun: 31:36 The Art of the Mini-Series: The 25 best TV miniseries of all time https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/the_25_best_tv_miniseries_of_all_time_030124/s1__33231407#slide_4 Shogun (FX) Out of 10 Seppuku is Not the Way to Gos Darryl: 8/10 Brian: 7/10 Summary: Shogun is a historical fiction novel set in feudal Japan. It tells the story of John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor shipwrecked in Japan. Thrust into a completely alien culture, Blackthorne clashes with the ambitious Lord Toranaga, a powerful daimyo with his own political rivals to contend with. Caught in the middle is Lady Mariko, a skilled samurai woman with a tarnished family history. All three must navigate a web of intrigue, loyalty, and cultural differences to find their place in this tumultuous world. Main Cast: – Hiroyuki Sanada (Lord Yoshii Toranaga): A powerful and cunning lord, Toranaga is locked in a political battle for dominance. You might recognize Sanada from his roles in “John Wick: Chapter 4” and “The Last Samurai.” – Cosmo Jarvis (John Blackthorne): A resourceful English sailor who shipwrecked in Japan. Blackthorne struggles to adapt to the strict Japanese way of life. Jarvis has starred in films like “Persuasion.” – Anna Sawai (Toda Mariko): A strong-willed samurai woman caught between her duty to her family and her attraction to Blackthorne. Sawai is a rising star in Japanese cinema. Supporting Cast: – Tadanobu Asano (Kashigi Yabushige): A rival lord and antagonist to Toranaga. Asano is a veteran Japanese actor known for his work in the “Thor” franchise. – Takehiro Hira (Ishido Kazunari): A skilled swordsman and ally of Toranaga. – Tokuma Nishioka (Toda Hiromatsu): Mariko’s father, caught in the political turmoil. – Other notable cast members include Nestor Carbonell, Tommy Bastow, Shinnosuke Abe, Yoriko Dōguchi, Yuki Kura, and Hiroto Kanai. Crew: – Executive Producers: Justin Marks, Rachel Kondo, Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell, Michael De Luca, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich. – Creator: Justin Marks based on the novel by James Clavell. Episodes: Episode 1 Title: Anjin Directed by: Jonathan van Tulleken Written by: Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks Date Aired: February 27, 2024 Summary: In 1600, a lone Dutch trading ship, Erasmus, arrives on the coast of Japan with a starving crew. John Blackthorne, the ship’s English navigator, is taken prisoner by samurai warriors. The episode introduces the political landscape with five regents vying for power and the religious tensions between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Blackthorne. Blackthorne is brought to Osaka Castle, where he meets Lord Toranaga and Lady Toda Mariko. Episode 2 Title: Servants of Two Masters Directed by: Jonathan van Tulleken Written by: Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks Date Aired: February 27, 2024 Summary: The episode delves deeper into the power struggle. We learn about Toranaga’s precarious position among the regents and the secret ambitions of the Portuguese. Blackthorne becomes a pawn in the game as Toranaga uses him to sow discord among his rivals. Blackthorne also encounters the Jesuit priest Domingo who reveals the Catholic agenda in Japan. Blackthorne is saved from execution by Yabushige and provides Toranaga with intel about the Portuguese and Spanish plans for Japan. The episode ends with an assassination attempt on Toranaga, highlighting the dangers he faces. Episode 3 Title: Tomorrow is Tomorrow Directed by: Charlotte Brändström Written by: Shannon Goss Date Aired: March 5, 2024 Summary: Toranaga outsmarts Ishido by sending his wife in disguise with Blackthorne. The episode showcases the political maneuvering and the lengths Toranaga goes to in his quest for power. Blackthorne’s quick thinking saves the caravan from Ishido’s forces. Toranaga deals with the Portuguese to escape Osaka and secure passage on their Black Ship. The episode ends with Blackthorne joining Toranaga on the ship, marking a turning point in their relationship.

"Le samurai est une figure emblématique de l'histoire du Japon. Mais, comme pour la figure du chevalier en Europe, le samurai dans la culture populaire relève à la fois de l'histoire et du mythe. Il est donc souvent difficile de faire la part des choses. Qu'est-ce qui est mythique, qu'est ce qui est historique ?

TW: Discussions of suicide   Aokigahara, a dense forest in Japan, is the setting for a surprising number of cases of suicide every year. Why Aokigahara? Some people think that it's due to the high rate of suicide in Japan in general, others believe the forest is host to miserable spirits that draw other unhappy people into its depths. In this episode, we discuss Aokigahara and the history of suicide in Japan.

Kartik Krishnaiyer and Ryan Ray join us to discuss the absolute ANNIHILATION of the Democratic Party of Florida in the recent midterm elections. While the rest of liberal America celebrates conservative disappointment in the election results, Florida has just entered a new era of blood-red Republican control. Why are Florida Democrats so bad at politics? What does the future of Florida look like? Who will win when DeSantis inevitably faces off against Trump? All that and Isaac makes a case for adopting the Japanese honor-killing ritual of seppuku for politicians who lose by more than 15 points.
