Battle of Buna–Gona: Japanese forces and order of battle

strength, Milner has also included Army and Navy labourers. McCarthy also reports 1,800 hospitalised at the start of the battle. The Japanese hospital facilities were located in the vicinity of Sanananda. The 67th Line of Communications Hospital was located at Giruwa and another hospital at Cape Killerton. Bullard reports that some hospital patients were deployed in defence of Gona (from a line of communications hospital). Watson and Rohfleisch report that in mid-November, "a Japanese report fixes the enemy force ashore in the Buna area at some 9,000 men". Fitzsimons also reports that there were 9,000 at the beachhead positions as the Allies approached. Sandler reports there were approximately 8,000 at Buna-Gona as the Allies were making their final advance toward the beachheads. Total strength figures will include construction units composed of 'non-combat' troops and those that were hospitalised. Bullard and Milner report that hospitalised Japanese were integrated into the garrison's defences. Condon-Rall and Cowdrey record that American troops were kept in the front lines and that, "to evacuate all those with fever at Buna would have meant immediate victory for the enemy."

five thousand". No date is given but the context suggests this is at or after mid-December. Bullard reports a resupply from the Mambare River to supply approximately 5,000 men. No date is given but the context suggests this is about the time that Buna fell but before 8 January. It may likely have occurred at about the same time as the reinforcement that arrived just before the new year. Milner records, "General Yamagata had some 5,000 troops at the beachhead (including the sick and wounded), but the men had almost nothing to eat and every Japanese in the area faced death by starvation." Bullard gives the strength immediately prior to the fall as 4,000. This gives a detailed breakdown of the fate of the defenders. However, Bullard gives the standing strength of the garrison at about the same time and on the same page as 5,000. McCarthy reports that the Sanananda-Giruwa garrison was strengthened by 200–300 who escaped from Buna.

195:

this may have been derived from a planning figure and not an actual strength statement. McCarthy quotes Japanese sources giving the strength in the coastal area as 11,880. It is unclear whether this figure is the initial strength, the maximum strength or the total strength deployed but in light of Bullard's figure, it is likely the total strength deployed. Attributing this figure to the "coastal area" infers it includes forces landed as reinforcements around the Kumusi and Mambrae Rivers that did not actually join the garrison at the beachheads. Milner gives a total effective strength of 5,500 as of 16 November but notes, "No precise figure can be given for Japanese strength at the beachhead in mid-November." This is based on the interrogation of Lieutenant General

some of whom had been "laying out for days". Milner reports that the "stench" was so bad that toward the end, "the living had been driven to put on gas masks". In accounting for Japanese dead, the principle references make no apparent mention of consulting Japanese records or otherwise accounting for Japanese burials. McCarthy indicates that many dead may have been buried in collapsed bunkers and remained unaccounted for. Bombardment possibly obliterated traces of many others. Milner notes that there was a tendency of American units to 'double count' Japanese dead and, where there was a joint responsibility between Australian and American units for recording Japanese dead, Australian figures should be preferred.

115:, called the Japanese utilisation of terrain "perfect" and "brilliant". Natural obstacles were used to advantage to channel attackers into coordinated fields of fire. The Japanese defensive positions at Buna–Gona have been described as "one of the most impressive defensive networks seen in the entire war." They consisted of hundreds of bunkers and machine gun emplacements. The positions had been skilfully developed in accordance with the principles of defence. They made excellent use of terrain, which limited the tactical possibilities for attackers. The defences were developed in depth. Individual positions were mutually supporting and alternative positions were used to confound attackers. 242:

attempt at Basabua, landed about 500 troops, mainly the III/170th Battalion, near the mouth of the Kumusi River. These troops joined with troops of the 41st Infantry Regt that Colonel Yazawa had been forced to leave behind. This force actively threatened the western flank of the Australians at Gona. On 12 December, 800 troops, mainly of the I/170th Battalion were landed near the mouth of the Mambare River, further along the coast. Part of this force was moved to reinforce the III/170th Bn operating against the flank at Gona. Between 700 – 800 reached Giruwa between 27 and 31 December. McCarthy records that a reinforcement arrived from 26 December.

259:

would be 8,900. All of these figures are inclusive of reinforcements received on 17–18 November. The strength at Sanananda appears, from context, to be in mid-December. The strength at the beachheads at this time would not include any of the 1,300 from the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade that did not reinforce the positions until the end of December. About 500 of the force gathered by Colonel Yazawa remained west of Gona. Deducting these from the total strength deployed (11,700) gives a strength deployed to the beachheads by in mid-December of 9,900. The South Seas Force reinforcement landed on 21 November totaled 800.

series of posts which, apart from covering the approach to Sanananda, also denied the use of two branch tracks to Cape Killerton. The three outer defensive positions can be considered as being located at the corners of a triangle, while the main position was located at the centre of the base. These positions were each separate but, initially at least, they could be readily resupplied and reinforced from the main position. The outer positions covered the likely approaches to Sanananda–Giruwa while the swamp effectively barred any attempt to by-pass these positions.

255:

elsewhere. Milner does not appear to mention the arrival of the South Seas Force reinforcement (800) on 21 November. The 21st Independent Mixed Brigade landed 1,300 troops near the Kumusi and Mambare Rivers. This gives a figure for additional forces of 2,700. Added to the initial 9,000 reported by Milner this gives a total deployed to the beachheads and west of Gona of 11,700. This is consistent with total deployed strengths of 11,000 to nearly 12,000. Of this figure, approximately 1,000 remained to the west of Gona and did not reach the beachheads.

units from the army and navy. The Japanese defensive positions at Buna, Gona and forward at the Sanananda track junction had been strongly developed before the arrival of the Allied forces. They have been described as some of the strongest encountered by the Allies in the course of the war. They made excellent use of terrain, which limited the tactical possibilities for attackers and consisted of hundreds of bunkers and machine gun emplacements developed in depth.

other primary sources The date appears quite inconsistent as plans were already being made for evacuation of the garrison by this time. Anderson reports: "the enemy managed to put ashore during December about 1,300 fresh troops with supplies at several points west of Gona. These troops then made their way at night to Sanananda and Buna Mission." The Japanese relied heavily on motor barges for these movements.

nights of 17 and 18 November. Milner gives this as 1,000, landing on the night of 17 November. This reinforcement increased the effective strength to 6,500. Bullard records the landing at Basabua (just east of Gona) of 800 reinforcements for the South Seas Force on the evening of 21 November. McAuley makes reference to this landing but does not appear to indicate the strength of the force landed.

Figures for total strengths should also be considered in light of the strengths reported at each position. Note is given to the variation in strengths reported at each position. Based on the following strengths reported of 900 at Gona, 2,500 at Buna and 5,500 at Sanananda, the apparent total strength

McCarthy records that the Japanese forces in front of Sanananda numbered about 5,500 including the hospitalised. No date is given but in context of text, this might be mid-December.

The position at Buna to the Girua River was held by slightly more than 2,000 defenders, having been reinforced by the III/229th Battalion, landed on 18 November. Milner gives the strength as being, "more than 2,500 troops". Edwards records the strength as 2,500. Sandler gives the force as 3,450. Gona

The Japanese defenders, while not strong in artillery, nonetheless had at their disposal a variety of pieces. Indicative of this is the artillery that was deployed at Buna. McCarthy records, it consisted of: "several 75-mm naval guns, some 37-mm pom poms, 5 heavy anti-aircraft guns and a few 13-mms".

743:

As an example, Milner gives the effective strength after reinforcements about 18 November as 6,500, an increase of 1,000. Other sources report the reinforcement at about this time as up to 1,500. This would lead to an effective strength of 7,000. The apparent discrepancy is readily reconciled on the

In accounting for the Japanese killed during the battle, a number of matters need to be noted. It is apparent that as the battle progressed, the Japanese were less inclined or less able to manage burial of their dead. At Gona, McCarthy reports that the Japanese had made no attempt to bury the dead,

Sources appear to treat the defenders on the Sananada Track as part of the defences at Sanananda–Giruwa but this does not appear to be explicitly stated.

At Gona, McCarthy records that 638 Japanese were buried; Milner records two conflicting totals: only 362 burials at one entry but 638 at another. Milner records that 1,400 Japanese were buried at Buna and that 2,537 were killed in the Australian area of operation, which includes Sanananda-Giruwa,

In mid December, there was nearly 10,000 deployed at the beachhead positions. Just before the fall of Sanananda and the battle ended, 1,200 wounded were evacuated by submarine. Estimates indicate a similar number were able to escape overland. Only about 250 prisoners were taken. The remainder,

McCarthy reports a Japanese source as giving the number of dead as 8,000. Bullard reports the number of dead as 7,000. McCarthy attempts to reconcile the Japanese strength against the numbers buried, evacuated, escaped or taken prisoner. He identifies a discrepancy of 3,200 unaccounted for. Of

The Center of Military History reports, "A detachment of the Yamagata Brigade, numbering less than 1,000 ... arrived during the first 2 weeks of December." It is also reported that 500 fresh troops were landed at Giruwa on about 12 January. This does not appear to have been recorded in any of the

Bullard gives a total strength deployed as approximately 11,000 troops. It suggests but does not unambiguously include forces landed as reinforcements around the Kumusi and Mambrae Rivers that did not actually reach the Buna-Gona garrison. Brien gives the strength of the force as 10,000; however,

The Japanese forces at the start of the Battle of Buna–Gona had an effective strength of 5,500 or 6,500 after the landing of reinforcements on the night of 18 November 1942. The total force at the start of the battle is estimated at 9,000 and included several hospitals, their patients and labour

Few prisoners were taken on any front. Fifty prisoners were taken at Buna. More than 200 prisoners were taken at Sanananda–Giruwa. No figure could be identified for the number of prisoners take at Gona. Milner reports that 350 prisoners were taken during the fighting in Papua, indicating this

Milner's starting figure of 9,000 includes 900 that had withdrawn down the Kumusi River and were under command of Colonel Yazawa west of Gona and 900 troops landed from Rabaul on 17 November. Other sources report 1,500 were landed over the night of 17–18 November. This is 600 less than reported

About 1,200 sick and wounded were evacuated by sea just prior to the fall of Sanananda. Milner reports about 2,000, including sick and wounded were evacuated by sea in the closing stages or escaped overland. McCarthy reports about 1,000 escaped overland to the west of Gona but Japanese sources

It may be a confusion with landings on about 2 January by Colonel Yazawa, intended to rescue troops at Buna but this plan was overtaken by the fall of Buna. Yazawa's force was to consist of 430 troops (but actually only 250) that had been landed only days earlier but it was an internal
