Шайқас
Құрлыққа қону алдында АҚШ әскерлері әуеде де, теңізде де басымдықты қамтамасыз етуге тырысты. Барлығы 274 кеме 2 және 5 дюймдік зеңбіректерден 44 978 оқ атып, десантты қолдады. Сонымен қатар, 13 әуе кемесі әуе шабуылына қатысып, 18-20 шілде аралығында, қонудың алдындағы күні, 4 283 бомба (жалпы салмағы 1 310 тонна) тасталды. Ауыр бомбалау жағалаудағы барлық пальма ағаштарын өртеп, көрінетін барлық ғимараттарды қиратты. Жапондықтар Сайпанға жасаған шабуылдан алған тәжірибесін бомбалаудың салдарына басандау үшін пайдаланды. Дегенмен, бомбалау Сайпандағы жағалау бойында бекінген қорғаныс күштерінің күтілгенінен әлдеқайда күшті болды. Көптеген базалар мен күзет мұнаралары қирады. Бірақ, жағалаудан төрт шақырым немесе одан да көп қашықтықтағы тығыз ормандарда, үңгірлерде, траншеяларда орналасқан артиллериялық бөлімдер қираудан аман қалды және жапондықтардың қарсыласуының басты көзіне айналды. Гуам айналасындағы рифтер, жартастар мен күшті толқындар кез келген шабуылшы үшін үлкен қиындық туғызады. 77-ші жаяу әскер дивизиясы 23-24 шілдеде қиын жағдайда қонды. Бұл Гуамдағы шайқастың алғашқы күндеріндегі десанттық әскер үшін болды. Десанттық кемелер жағалаудан бірнеше жүз метр қашықтықтағы рифке жақындаса алмады, ал суға түсетін көліктер жеткіліксіз болды. 1-ші Уақытша бригада 25 шілдеде Ороте түбегін тосқаулады, ал сол түні Такашина солтүстікке қарай 3-ші дивизияға қарсы ұқсас шабуылмен үйлестіріліп, қарсы шабуылға көшті.
Before landing, U. S. forces sought to ensure both air and naval superiority. A total of 274 ships, which fired 44,978 shots from 2 inch and 5 inch guns, supported the landing. In addition, 13 aircraft carriers participated in the air raid, and 4,283 bombs (weighing a total of 1,310 tons) were dropped from 18 to 20 July, the day before the landings. The heavy bombardment burned all the palm trees on the beach and destroyed every building that could be seen. Experience gained by the Japanese from the invasion of Saipan was used to try to mitigate the effects of the bombardment. Despite this, the bombardment far exceeded the expectations of the defending forces which were dug in along the coast as they were on Saipan. Many of the bases and guard towers were destroyed. However, artillery pieces entrenched in dense forests, caves, trenches and locations four kilometers or more from the coast were able to escape destruction and became a source of heavy Japanese resistance. Guam, ringed by reefs, cliffs, and heavy surf, presents a formidable challenge for any attacker. The 77th Infantry Division had a more difficult landing on 23–24 July. for the landing troops on Guam in the first days of the battle. Landing ships could not come closer than the reef, several hundred yards from the beach, and amphibious vehicles were scarce. The 1st Provisional Brigade blocked off the Orote Peninsula on 25 July, and that same night Takashina counterattacked, coordinated with a similar attack against the 3rd Division to the north.
