As advancing Marines limited the areas left to the Japanese on Guam, they still managed to form small kernels of resistance in caves and dugouts that ran for nearly a half a mile. Marine engineers used high explosives to blow up the cover but the Japanese immediately opened fire following this photograph. The engineers placed more TNT to silence the fire.
