Historical Background:
Biak Island, north west of New Guinea, was on the way back of USA in the Philippines and was equipped with three airfields Japanese built. So Biak was a first choice objective for MacArthur. On the 27th of May 1944, the 41st US Infantry Division landed in the Bosnik mangrove without any opposition. But when US infantrymen reached the airfields plain, they were suddenly under heavy fire by Japanese soldiers of the 222nd Regiment entrenched in camouflaged bunkers and a network of fortified caves on the hills surrounding the plain and named "West Caves". US troops stopped their advance and resisted to several bayonet counter-attacks supported by light tanks. The battle of Biak, made of ambushes and delaying actions, lasted until the 28th of June 1944 when "West Caves" strongpoint was finally reduced.
