Overview:

On the fourth day of fighting at Nhpum Ga, elements of the Japanese 114th and 55th Regiments were able to completely surround the 2nd Battalion of Merrill's Marauders. The Japanese established a block on the trail just north of Nhpum Ga, severing contact between the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion at Hsamshingyang. The morning patrol leaving Hsamshingying detected signs of enemy activity along the trail, and encountered a strong Japanese trail block about 400 yards from the 2nd Battalion's perimeter. With mortar support from Nhpum Ga, the patrol attacked the block but finally had to withdraw. Colonel McGee decided to make another attempt to break the block and carefully thinned out his perimeter to form a strike force and attacked again. . . . .One of the scenarios that makes the Nhpum Ga series so great. US forces must attack Japanese troops and clear a track, while also ensuring that the Japanese do not infiltrate into the US set up area.
Attacker: American (2nd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) "Merrill's Marauders")
