Pacific War: Battle of Munda

About This Novel
Although the US military won the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Solomon Islands in front of them was an insurmountable bottleneck. In order to break through this "level", the US military launched an offensive campaign aimed at capturing Munda Airport on June 30, 1943. The Japanese army also knew that the Battle of Munda Airport was related to the fate of the Solomon Islands. They successively invested the elite 13th Infantry Regiment, 229th Infantry Regiment, 2 Battalions of the 23rd Infantry Regiment and 2 Battalions of the 230th Infantry Regiment in Munda, and established the Japanese Army Southeast Detachment Headquarters. Under the leadership of Major General Noboru Sasaki, the Japanese Army fought the most exciting mobile defensive battle in the entire Pacific War. Not only did the Japanese army gain a superior casualty exchange ratio, but they also fought back with determination throughout the campaign without completely losing the initiative on the battlefield. Finally, when they were besieged by the American Legion on Kolombangara Island, they took the risk of breaking out by boat. Ten thousand people took a Daihatsu and forcibly broke out from the blockade of US Navy destroyers and cruisers and returned safely, leaving precious fire for the future defense of Rabaul.
