Japanese forces at Guadalcanal experienced their first devastating encounter with coordinated U.S. Marine firepower when perfectly positioned machine-gun belts, pre-registered artillery, and relentless air strikes from Henderson Field annihilated their signature night assaults, killing nearly 800 troops at Tenaru and another 700-800 at Bloody Ridge in brutal fashion. The Marines' superior combined arms tactics, backed by constant air cover from the Cactus Air Force, transformed the jungle into an inescapable killing ground where Japanese soldiers found themselves outgunned, outmaneuvered, and systematically starved as their Tokyo Express resupply missions failed catastrophically. By December 1942, Japanese troops were dying at a rate of 50 men per day—mostly from starvation and disease rather than combat—forcing the once-invincible Imperial Army to abandon the island in a humiliating evacuation that marked the beginning of their long retreat across the Pacific.
