Overview:
As elements of the 3rd Marine Division pushed eastward to expand its beachhead on Bouganville, 1st Lt. Steve Cibik’s reinforced platoon was ordered to occupy a small knoll with a commanding view of Empress Augusta Bay. Shortly after arriving, the Marines routed a group of approaching Japanese, and at noon repulsed an organized attack. Cibik requested reinforcements which later arrived in the form of a 60mm mortar section. The Marines spent a quiet but nervous night. The next morning, however, things changed. . .Attacker: Japanese (23rd Infantry Regiment, 6th Infantry Division)
Defender: American (USMC) (Company F, 3rd Marine Regiment)
