I agree, it is moving, also the scene where they realize at dawn the US Navy has pulled out and left them there, and the Japanese Navy is reinforcing the island.
It always bothers me when folks, (often foreigners) say things like American soldiers win because of superior equipment and technology, I'm sure there are several instances to smack back in their faces, but I usually cite, the Lost Battalion, Guadalcanal, Bastogne, or Taffy 3 at Samar.
