Overview:
On D+2, Chicago Daily News war correspondent Keith Wheeler released this dispatch from Tarawa: "It looks as though the Marines are winning on this blood-soaked, bomb-hammered, stinking little abattoir of an island". Colonel Edson issued his attack orders at 0400. As recorded in the division's D-3 journal, Edson's plan for D+2 was this: "1/6 attacks at 0800 to the east along south beach to establish contact with 1/2 and 2/2. I/8 attached to 2nMar attacks at daylight to the west along north beach to eliminate Jap pockets of resistance between Beaches Red 1 and 2. 5thMar (-LT 1/8) continues attack to the east."Attacker: American (USMC) (Reinforce elements of Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines)
Defender: Japanese (6th Special Base Force)
