Jay is in a state of shock. Everything was going OK and then suddenly today's attack left his platoon shattered. They had advanced a short way meeting with light opposition when the Sarge was hit by a sniper. Then things went from bad to worse as they were caught in the open by 3 bunkers spewing out death as fast as the machine guns could fire. Jay has no idea of what happened next as they all went to ground and then gradually crawled away with the encroaching darkness protecting them.
No matter what Bill has tried he can't manage to get anywhere and the Mighty Mo just sits awaiting repairs that he deems a high priority. He glumly sits in his cabin pondering his naval career and then writes a letter to Sandy. This simple act usually calms him and when he finishes the letter he turns in.
Sam and his squad return from another useless patrol and Sam knows that if there were any Japanese on the island they would've stumbled into them and all been killed. The boredom has reduced the combat effectiveness of the unit and it'll take something to snap them out of their current malaise.
On the 24th the Great Victory Parade in Moscow's Red Square saw Zhukov take the salute in Stalin's presence.
