American forces on Guadalcanal pushed a five pronged drive, penetrating a western flank and threatening another while killing 350 Japanese and seizing 12 37MM guns, three field pieces, and 30 machine guns. The westward assault advanced two miles into jungle as Japanese reinforcements arrived east of the airfield. Meanwhile Allied pressure in New Guinea pushed the enemy back toward Port Moresby and Buna as bombers hit targets in Timor and Salamaua.
