Overview:
In the pre-dawn light, the first invasion of a fortified beach was about to take place. Marines of 2/2 were slated to hit Red Beach Two, 3/2s target was Red Beach One and on the East side of the pier Major Crows 2/8 would land at Red Beach Three. Lieutenant Colonel Shoup had planned for the first waves to travel in on LVTs. At first the Japanese left the "Little Boats with wheels" travel unmolested as they concentrated their fire on the larger ships. As the LVTs rammed up against the fringing reef and kept going the Rikusentai realized that the reef was no protection against these new vehicles. The Marines reached the beach, however strong fire kept them pinned down as the following waves were wading in.Attacker: American (USMC) (Regimental Landing Team, Second Marines)
Defender: Japanese (3rd Special Base Force)
