Overview:
Japanese machine gun fire had pinned down the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment’s attack across the West Arm Valley. Lt. Davis and his composite platoon of riflemen from Companies B and C moved around the extreme right flank to threaten the Japanese position from the rear. Lt. Davis found a concealed route up the ridge to a point where the slope was almost vertical. Davis led the climb up the 100 foot cliff. The ground then leveled off to a shelf with another thirty five foot cliff immediately ahead. He rapidly climbed the final cliff to gain the high ground behind the Japanese. A sword-wielding Japanese officer led a fierce counterattack against the Americans. Davis’ men had no time to prepare for the assault and fired from the hip to stop the Japanese. Another Japanese wave followed. Davis’ men stopped this attack using grenades, bayonets and a machine gun that finally made it into action. Fighting raged on for an eternity of ninety minutes. . .Attacker: American (Cos. B & C, I/17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division)
Defender: Japanese (303rd Independent Infantry Battalion)
