In October of 1943 the next stage of the Allied plan in the Pacific was ready for implementation. On the 27th of October, a feint assault on the island of Choiseul (Operation Blissful) obscured the real objective, Bougainville. On October 27th New Zealand troops captured Treasury Island. On November 1st U.S. 3rd Marine Divison went ashore at Empress Augusta Bay. Despite Japanese counter attacks in the air and on land Americans held a defensive perimeter ten miles wide and file miles deep and made Augusta Bay into a naval base with three operating airstrips.
