This podcast covers the Guadalcanal Campaign Part 2
After the battle of Bloody Ridge, also known as the battle of Edson's ridge, the US Marines were able to perform some limited offensives known as the Matanikau Actions. There was mixed results for the Americans, but it did lead to the creation of the Whaling group.
After the Matanikau adventure the Japanese tossed a major counter attack to try and seize back Henderson Field. It was a colossal failure as the Japanese became lost in jungles and showed up in piecemeal to attack the US Marine defensive perimeter. The Marines were able to repel the Japanese attack sending them on a long and horrifying journey back to the western portion of the island.
After defending Hendersonfield the US Marines went on the offensive, performing operations against the Matanikau area and Koli point. Then Carlson's Long Patrol occurred seeing the death of nearly 500 Japanese. Meanwhile US infantry arrived to the scene and performed a campaign to take Mount Austin.
The campaign consisted of the battles of the galloping horse, battle of the sea horse and the battle of the Gifu. After this the Japanese tossed the towel and began Operation KE: the evacuation of Guadalcanal.
