http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Saipan
The Battle of Saipan was a battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands from 15 June -- 9 July 1944. The Allied invasion fleet embarking the expeditionary forces left Pearl Harbor on 5 June 1944, the day before Operation Overlord in Europe was launched. The U.S. 2nd Marine Division, 4th Marine Division, and 27th Infantry Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Holland Smith, defeated the 43rd Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Yoshitsugu Saito.
In the campaigns of 1943 and the first half of 1944, the Allies had captured the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands and the Papuan peninsula of New Guinea. This left the Japanese holding the Philippines, the Caroline Islands, Palau Islands and Mariana Islands.
It had always been the intention of the American planners to bypass the Carolines and Palaus and to seize the Marianas and Taiwan. From these latter bases communications between the Japanese homeland and Japanese forces to the south and west could be cut. In addition, from the Marianas Japan would be well within the range of an air offensive relying on the new B-29 Superfortress long-range bomber with its operational radius of 1,500 mi (2,400 km).
While not part of the original American plan, Douglas MacArthur, commander of the Southwest Pacific Area command, obtained authorization to advance through New Guinea and Morotai toward the Philippines. This allowed MacArthur to keep his personal pledge, made in his "I shall return" speech, to liberate the Philippines, and also allowed the active use of the large forces built up in the southwest Pacific theatre. The Japanese, expecting an attack somewhere on their perimeter, thought an attack on the Caroline Islands most likely. To reinforce and supply their garrisons, they needed naval and air superiority, so Operation A-Go, a major carrier attack, was prepared for June 1944.
Bombardment of Saipan began on 13 June 1944. Fifteen battleships were involved, and 165,000 shells were fired. Seven modern fast battleships delivered twenty-four hundred 16 in (410 mm) shells, but to avoid potential minefields, fire was from a distance of 10,000 yd (9,100 m) or more, and crews were inexperienced in shore bombardment. The following day the eight pre-Pearl Harbor battleships and eleven cruisers under Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf replaced the fast battleships but were lacking in time and ammunition.
The landings began at 07:00 on 15 June 1944. More than 300 LVTs landed 8,000 Marines on the west coast of Saipan by about 09:00. Eleven fire support ships covered the Marine landings. The naval force consisted of the battleships USS Tennessee and California. The cruisers were USS Birmingham and Indianapolis... by nightfall the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions had a beachhead about 6 mi (9.7 km) wide and .5 mi (0.8 km) deep. The Japanese counter-attacked at night but were repulsed with heavy losses. On 16 June, units of the U.S. Army's 27th Infantry Division landed and advanced on the airfield at Ås Lito (which is now the location of Saipan International Airport). Again the Japanese counter-attacked at night. On 18 June, Saito abandoned the airfield.
The invasion surprised the Japanese high command, which had been expecting an attack further south. Admiral Toyoda Soemu, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy, saw an opportunity to use the A-Go force to attack the U.S. Navy forces around Saipan. On 15 June, he gave the order to attack. But the resulting battle of the Philippine Sea was a disaster for the Imperial Japanese Navy, which lost three aircraft carriers and hundreds of planes. The garrisons of the Marianas would have no hope of resupply or reinforcement...

In the end, almost the entire garrison of troops on the island—at least 30,000—died. For the Americans, the victory was the most costly to date in the Pacific War. 2,949 Americans were killed and 10,464 wounded, out of 71,000 who landed...

Bangladesh 4-0 Northern Mariana Island | AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers 2014
Despite Bangladesh wrapping up their AFC Challenge Cup group D qualifiers with a convincing 4-0 goal win over lowly Northern Mariana Islands saw their outside chance vanish into blue at the Dasrath Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal on Wednesday, reports BSS.
Bangladesh came in the match needing at least to win by a ten goals and also hopping that host Nepal would be able to beat league leaders Palestine in the evening fixture but they hardly showed any form of hitting the top form, only in the end had to remain satisfied by ending the meet on a winning note.
In the day's match, forward Tokils Ahmed opened an account for Bangladesh early in the very first minute and one expected a barrage of attacks but minnows Northern Mariana forced Bangladesh to wait for a considerable time to double the margin.
However after a long wait Shakhwat Hossain Rony doubled the lead scoring the second goal in the 38th minute.
After the resumption, Tokils scored his second goal and third for his team in the 83rd minute while while M Linkon sealed the victory scoring the fourth goal for Bangladesh in the injury time.
Bangladesh has six points with the two wins and hosts Palestine and Nepal lock horns in the last match of the group today. The opportunity of Bangladesh qualifying as one of the two best runners-up teams are still alive.
Besides, the group champions, the two best runners-up from five groups advances to the final round schedule to be held in the Maldives, next year.
In Group A that is hosted by Myanmar. India is atop in the points table with six points from two matches and Myanmar has four points. They lock-horns in the last group match on Wednesday and if India wins the or even draws Myanmar will be out of the meet.
In group, C away at Laos Afghanistan are jointly leading the points table with six points and Laos are placed at second spot with four points.
Both the teams will play the last match late today
(Wednesday) and if Laos lose Bangladesh's chance will brightened up.
The qualifiers of group B and group E will conclude on March 21st and 26th respectively.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Karaoke
The official anthem of the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands was written by Mr. Jose S.
Pangelinan presumably around the time after World
War II had ended. During the First Constitutional
Convention, a resolution was introduced to compel the
new government to proclaim the song as the official
anthem of the soon to be created Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands. In 1996, it became the
official anthem by virtue of Public Law 10-28, authored
in the Tenth CNMI Legislature and signed by then-
Governor Froilan Cruz Tenorio into law. Both versions
of the anthem are taught to students as well as
displayed prominently in official programs and posters.
The melody of the song is taken from the German tune
"Im Schoensten Wiesengrunde", written by Wilhelm
Ganzhorn.
Since the islands are a United States dependency, the
national anthem is still the "Star Spangled Banner"
