| 説明 | "November 15, 1942Mike still throwing slugs. 2 came within 20 yards of me. Close shave. Yesterday afternoon we received 9 B26's, 12 P38's, and some F4F's from Enterprise. Enterprise, Washington, So. Dak., etc. hit Jap convoy making their naval escort flee. We sank 7transports and 5 are burning fiercely on the beach. P39's set ships on fire with incendiary bombs. FBF's, SBD's, P39's, P38's, B26's, F4F's have been hitting hard. B26's left for Roses & 10 F4F's are going out to their ship, Enterprise. We destroyed approximately 12 Zeros & 1 bomber. Enterprise downed 21 bombers and unestimated number of Zeros. Tojo's convoy was not successful. Miss Irene II got her first Zero. Col. Bower lost 14th in sea. Mann returned. Joe Palko was found dead with a 20 mm in his neck.November 16, 1942Quiet day for a change. General Woods's statement said: "During the past 5 days, our air forces on Cactus destroyed 2 carriers, 2 battleships, 4 cruisers, 4 cruisers badly damaged, 8 destroyers, 12 transports and 30,000 men. He commended ground forces for "working untiringly, day and night, under constant shellfire and bombing, reducing danger to Cactus and assuring victory of Guadalcanal." We destroyed 69 planes in 5 days. No supplies were landed. 155's sank transports that were burning yesterday. Latest word is that Japs landed 5000 troops and 4 field pieces."From the Lloyd D.
