摘要

摘要：对马里亚纳群岛密克罗尼西亚群岛二战战役的考古和历史调查，通常集中在塞班岛、天宁岛和关岛的激烈争夺上。1944年开始，在美国为日本上空的轰炸行动建立空军基地的过程中，被摧毁的小岛屿受到的关注较少，但它们是绝对国防领域的战略纽带。本文考察了日本军事计划保卫塞班岛以北的帕甘岛的考古证据，这是一场从未打过的战斗。该战略基于对固定武器部署的分析，似乎是从交战的角度考虑的，从南马里亚纳群岛的“水域边缘防御”战术演变为硫磺岛和冲绳面临的“纵深防御”态势。

Pagan: the archaeology of a WWII battle never fought in the Northern Mariana Islands

ABSTRACT Archaeological and historical investigation of WWII battles fought in the Micronesian archipelago of the Mariana Islands has generally concentrated on the fierce struggles for Saipan, Tinian, and Guam. Smaller islands that were neutralised during the U.S. thrust to establish air bases for the bombing campaign over Japan beginning in 1944 have received less attention, but were a strategic link in the Absolute National Defence Sphere. This paper examines the archaeological evidence of Japanese military planning for the defence of the island of Pagan situated north of Saipan, a battle that was never fought. The strategy based on an analysis of fixed weaponry emplacement appears to have been conceived in terms of engagement evolving from a ‘defence-at-the-waters-edge’ tactic in the southern Mariana Islands towards a ‘defence-in-depth’ posture faced in Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
