island hopping
The US used a strategy called "island hopping" or "leapfrogging" to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater. Instead of trying to capture every Japanese-held island, the US selectively targeted and bypassed heavily fortified islands and focused on capturing strategically important islands that were closer to Japan. This allowed the US to gradually advance towards Japan while cutting off Japanese supply lines and isolating their forces on bypassed islands.
The strategy was known as island hopping.

move closer to the japanese mainland (apex)
The Japanese strategy was unique for three reasons: 1) The Japanese didn't fight above ground. They fought the battle entirely from beneath the ground. They dug 1,500 rooms into the rock. These were connected with 16 miles of tunnels. 2) Japanese strategy called for "no Japanese survivors." They planned not to survive. 3) Japanese strategy was for each soldier to kill 10 Americans before they themselves are killed.
