Overview:
In order to reach and secure the “tail” of Betio, the remaining Japanese between the airfield and the south shore had to be cleared. The 1/2 and 2/2 Marines were dug-in along a small enclave adjacent to the beach, but were juts holding on, severely depleted after two and a half days of constant fighting. The attack plan had the 1/6 Marines driving eastward along the shore and linking up with the 1/2 and 2/2 Marines, then 3/6 Marines would pass through their combined positions and advance onto the “tail”. There was one major flaw with this plan; the Japanese had no intentions of allowing the Marines to complete their assigned mission.Attacker: American (USMC) (Reinforced elements of 2nd Marine Division)
Defender: Japanese (Elements of 3rd Special Base Force)
