1st Provisional Marine Brigade
The Japanese used Type 41 Mountain Cannons that shoot 75mm against the 22nd Marine Regiment, they also used them against 20 amphibious vehicles to stop them from moving. The 22nd Marine Regiment spent most of the day fighting the Japanese in Hågat. The 1st Battalion finally took Hågat while the 2nd Battalion took Mount Alifan. Also the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines Regiment took over Bangi Point with help of the 3rd Battalion. They both started to move forward to Mount Alifan but Japanese resistance in the island delayed them. The Japanese tried to make a big counter-offensive at night but failed.
