I'd preach caution. There may be a time for a counter assault, but outnumbered, and without intelligence on enemy assets, it wouldn't be a counter assault. It would be a probe. I don't think we've got the #'s to be doing that. The Japanese have the initiative. My advice would be wait for them to show their hand & commit in some manner. From that, we could formulate a counter strike.

Alternatively, a cauctious advance made by a few squads, along the axis of the Japanese advance, could provide some intelligence. If nothing else, they could call for fire from the mortar teams.

I'd advocate standing firm, however.
