Скачать или смотреть How 916 Elite Japanese Troops Were Erased in 2 Hours…

They were considered among the most elite troops in the Imperial Japanese Army — veterans of China, specialists in night fighting, and hand-picked for a mission that would “crush American resistance” on Guadalcanal. But in just 2 hours, Colonel Kiyonao Ichiki’s 916-man force was wiped from existence.

Charging through jungle darkness, they expected terrified Marines with weak defenses. Instead, they ran into coordinated machine-gun lines, flanking fire, and an American strategy designed to obliterate anyone who attacked at night. By sunrise, the battlefield was silent — and almost every Japanese soldier was gone.

In this documentary, we reveal:
• Why Japan believed this assault would be unstoppable
• The deadly trap U.S. Marines set in the pitch-black jungle
• First-hand accounts from Marines who never forgot that night
• Why Japanese intelligence failed so catastrophically
• How this battle shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility

This wasn’t just a defeat… it was an erasure.
