Introduction |
---|
The sun finally made an appearance, offering the hope of air support for the Nisei. Unbeknownst to the Americans as they resumed their efforts against Bois de Borement, the enemy was gathering for a counterattack. After repulsing two American assaults against the railroad embankment, at 0930 the Germans sprung their trap. |
Conclusion |
---|
Enemy infantry with armor support slammed into the Nisei across the railroad embankment. Staff Sergeant Yoshimi Fujiwara earned the Distinguished Service Cross for breaking up the initial attack by destroying the lead assault gun with a bazooka. This sudden loss disheartened the Germans, who withdrew shortly thereafter. Meanwhile Hill D was discovered not to be secure. Under cover of darkness a company of grenadiers had infiltrated American lines and prepared attack positions. Once the attack kicked off, Sergeant Abraham Ohama of Company F, who had gone to aid a wounded soldier on the hill under a white flag, was killed and the four litter bearers accompanying him wounded by heavy machine gun fire which was observed by the entire company. The enraged men rose as one to avenge their friend and charged the enemy; when they were finished only seven Germans remained and were taken prisoner. During the this bloodbath Sergeant Robert T. Kuroda advanced fearlessly through the heavy enemy fire to engage and destroy the offending German machine gun nest with grenades and small arms fire. Unfortunately Kuroda lost his life in the attack, but his sacrifice saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers, and for this his Distinguished Service Cross was eventually upgraded to the Medal of Honor. |
