Overview:

General Akira Nara, commander of the 65th Brigade, received reports that the enemy line had been breached. More specifically, that the “Hattori” Battalion previously out of communication, had re-formed and attacked the American main positions at dawn. Lieutenant Colonel Fry ordered his captains to counter-attack pockets of Japanese and push them back. Fry requested armor support but it was refused. Fry and his soldiers pressed forward, undaunted, with assistance from armed half-tracks from 24th Artillery.

Defender: Japanese (Elements of 2nd Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment, 6th Brigade and reinforcing elements of 1st Company, 7th Tank Regiment)
