After a much harder landing than anyone expected, in the days that followed, the Marines on Peleliu encountered heavy Japanese resistance that reduced their advance to a crawl. The painfully slow and deadly progress would continue over the next few days, and soon it would become the main characteristic of the battle of Peleliu. Even after the Marine advance stalled in front of a formidable Japanese defensive line set on Umurbrogol Mountains, soon named Bloody Nose Ridge by the Marines, and despite the heavy losses suffered, General William Rupertus, the 1st Marine Division commander, still urged his Marines to continue the advance and maintain the momentum.
