Overview:
During November and December, the Japanese under Major General Iwasa made extraordinary efforts to emplace artillery on the high ground overlooking the Marine beachhead at Empress Augusta Bay. Guns of calibers ranging from 70mm up to 150mm were hauled up the rugged ridgelines looking south at the exposed American positions. General Geiger realized this was an unacceptable situation and ordered an offensive to clear the enemy guns off the hills. Of particular importance were the big guns on Hellzapoppin' Ridge to the northeast of the beachhead. They threatened not only the front lines but also vulnerable supply dumps. The task of clearing them off fell to the 21st Marine Regiment. Their first attempt began on December 9.Attacker: American (USMC) (21st Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division)
Defender: Japanese (23rd Infantry Regiment. 6th Infantry Division)
