Japanese Thought They Set Up a Perfect Kill-Zone — Then U.S. Marines Annihilated 470 Troops

The Japanese transformed Ngesebus Island into what they believed was an impregnable kill-zone, with interlocking fields of fire designed to slaughter any Marines foolish enough to assault the obvious approaches from the south. Instead of walking into this trap, Colonel "Bucky" Harris and the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines executed a brilliant flanking maneuver on September 28, 1944, launching an unexpected amphibious assault from the sea after devastating preparatory bombardment from naval guns, artillery, and close air support. This tactical masterpiece caught the defenders completely off-guard, resulting in the near-total annihilation of 470 Japanese defenders while suffering only 48 Marine casualties—turning the enemy's "perfect trap" into their own destruction through superior tactics and firepower.
