Overview:
For two days the Leathernecks of Company I, 3/1st Marines had put up with sporadic artillery fire from the Japanese forces entrenched on the other side of the Matanikau River. Realizing that the incoming fore was a precursor to another attack, Company I had been reinforced with a section of 37mm AT guns. As evening approached, the ominous sound of approaching tanks drifted across the river. At 2200 hours, nine tanks of the 1st Dokubitsu Sensha Chutai led an attack supported by infantry. Using a sandbar near the mouth of the river, the Japanese tanks could approach right up to the Marines position.Attacker: Japanese (Sumiyoshi Force comprised of elements of 4th Infantry Regiment and 1st Independent Tank Company)
Defender: American (USMC) (Company I, 3/1st Marines, 1st Marine Division)
