What happened at Kitano Point during Iwo Jima?
There is something that happened other than random fighting I assume because I was asked, but I can't find anything about it.

3/25/1945 Last pocket of Japanese resistance was secured at Kitano Point.

-That night over 200 Japanese infiltrate behind U.S. lines
-Legend says that the Japanese commander of the island led the attack.(Gen.Kurbayashi)
-The next morning over 250 Japanese lay dead around the Marines lines.
-That was the end of the resistance and the island was declared secure on 3/26.
