Overview:
The Japanese forces holding out on northern Bougainville had established a last line of defense across the Bonis Peninsula. To the north lay Buka Island and its airstrip – a key objecive in the Allied push towards Rabaul. A plan was devised to unhinge the Japanese line with a landing on the west coast by a reinforced company from the 31/51st Battalion. The infantry established a beach head at the Porton coconut plantation, and began aggressively patrolling inland. The Australians soon located a line of pillboxes and were pinned down. The Aussie 'Diggers' found that digging-in was futile as the water table was only a few inches beneath the sandy soil. Having lost their stores barge carrying the ammunition and heavy weapons off-shore, the Australians had 100 rounds of rifle ammunition each and a few grenades. A Japanese counter-attack attempted to clear them away. . .Attacker: Japanese (81st Garrison Force, 17th Army)
