REVENGE ON GO CHAN HILL
BB 5.1 CONCEPT: DAVID ROTH DESIGN: BRIAN BLAD
NEAR CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES, 30 MARCH 1945:
On 29 March Company A 182nd Infantry tired to clear the Japanese from Go Chan Hill. From
here, the defenders had a clear view of the harbor facilities and Lahug Airfield. Continuous
attacks proved fruitless, and as the Americans tried to withdraw, the Japanese blew up an ammo
dump in a cave on the side of the hill. The explosion destroyed one tank, disabled 2 others, and
virtually wiped out all of Company A. The next morning the men of Companies B and C,
backed by Divisional artillery assets,
mortars and M3 tanks would try to get 36 15
revenge for their comrades.
