Battle of Guadalcanal (August 1942 – February 1943) Background *After rapid Japanese expansion across the Pacific in 1941–42, they began building an airfield on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. *The airfield threatened Allied supply routes between the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. *The U.S. launched its first major Pacific offensive, code-named “Operation Shoestring” due to its rushed planning and scarce initial resources. Initial Landings (August 7, 1942) *U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and nearby islands. *They captured the unfinished airfield, later named Henderson Field. *Early on, U.S. forces also struggled with supply shortages, naval losses and overextended logistics left Marines short of food, ammunition, and heavy equipment during the first critical weeks. Naval Battles *The campaign included some of the fiercest naval fighting of WWII. *Early on, Japan won the Battle of Savo Island, sinking four Allied cruisers. *Later clashes, such as Cape Esperance and the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (Nov 1942), gradually gave the Allies naval superiority. Land Campaign *Japanese forces launched repeated attacks to retake Henderson Field. *Key clashes: Edson’s Ridge (Bloody Ridge, Sep 1942) and the Battle for Henderson Field (Oct 1942). *Each attack was repelled with heavy Japanese casualties. Air Power and Supply Struggle *Henderson Field allowed the U.S. “Cactus Air Force” to dominate the skies. *Japan’s logistics collapsed under constant U.S. pressure. *Japanese records show that at times their garrison received only dozens of kilograms (tens of pounds) of supplies per day. *One estimate: for every 1 pound of supplies delivered to Japanese troops, the U.S. delivered 4,000 pounds to its own. *Many Japanese supplies were lost to U.S. air/naval attacks or inefficient delivery (e.g., destroyer runs via the “Tokyo Express”). Attrition and Japanese Withdrawal *By late 1942, Japanese forces were crippled by combat losses, starvation, malaria, and lack of resupply. *In Feb 1943, Japan evacuated about 10,000 survivors. Outcome and Significance *First major Allied offensive victory in the Pacific. *Ended Japanese expansion and shifted momentum Song - Silent Shadows by Kira DJBattle Of Guadalcanal (August 1942 Sound Effects Free Download.
