Overview:
The attack order for the 8th Marine Regiment remained the same as the previous day: assault the strongpoints to the east. The standoff on Red Beach 3 attracted a number of unassigned Marines. Ones was Shore Party 1st Lt. Alexander Bonnyman Jr. who spent a full day hunkered down on the eastern edge of the complex, studying the layout and assembling a makeshift squad of assorted engineers. He had 21 men in his "Forlorn Hope" equipped with two fully charged flamethrowers and plenty of explosives.Attacker: American (USMC) (Elements of Lt. Bonnyman's "Forlorn Hope" and of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, 8th Marine Division and elements of Company C, 1st Marine Amphibious Corps Tank Battalion)
