Overview:
General MacArthur, furious at the perceived inability of his commanders to crack the Japanese fortified positions surrounding Buna, relieved his top field commanders and placed General Eichelberger in command. MacArthur’s last words to Eichelberger were, “Capture Buna or don’t come back alive!” General Wooten, the Australian Area Commander, was awaiting fresh troops from the AIF 18th Brigade and armor support from Milne Bay before resuming the attack on January 1st. Eichelberger, in an attempt at grabbing the glory, threw two companies at the Japanese. They almost immediately stalled and were unable to support the Australian attack scheduled for the next morning.Attacker: Australian (2/9th Battalion, 18th Australian Infantry Brigade and the 2/6th Australian Armoured Regiment)
Defender: Japanese (19th Army)
