The Battle for Bougainville
1944. The United States of America is an allied country that is currently involved in a war battling the Mighty Imperial Japanese axis forces that occupy the Pacific Islands. The United States has engaged in countless bloody battles against Japan since the war started. As it stands right now, there is an extreme loss of manpower for the U.S in the Pacific Campaign. The U.S Commanding Army Officers in the Pacific fear that they will have to pull out of the Pacific Campaign due to the toll of severe battle injuries and death inflicted on the soldiers who are currently battling the tough Japanese soldiers on these islands. Therefore the officers send telegraph letters to the officials in Washington D.C urging them to send minority battalions to the Pacific Campaign and help out in the struggle to defeat Japan. After careful consideration, U.S Congress gives permission to the U.S War Department to send minority battalions to the Pacific to see if they have what it takes to carry out their orders as U.S Army soldiers in this war effort. This is an illustrated movie-style comic book. It is a world war 2 fictional account about American minority Army battalions getting sent to the Solomon Islands in the Southwest Pacific to help out in the struggle to defeat The Imperial Japanese Army. The Battle for Bougainville is an illustrated fictional account that takes place on the Solomon Islands during the year 1944. It represents American minorities as U.S. Army soldiers of Company L 10th Infantry Battalion. The young African-American Infantry Captain Robert McCray receives the first call to lead his battalion in a highly dangerous amphibious landing assault on the heavily fortified beach of Bougainville Island, which is occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army. Captain McCray has the frontline assistance of a tough Hispanic-American U.S. Army Battalion Sergeant John Martinez and a Japanese-American U.S. Army Major Jack Yoshida (consultant of jungle warfare). With no support from U.S. Army battle tanks or U.S. Army aircraft on this mission, Company L 10th Infantry must start the assault as the first battalion to land on the beach and disarm the thunderous Japanese 88-millimeter howitzer cannons that align the beach shore.
