As she approached, at least four enemy batteries opened up on the destroyer escort.

The next afternoon, the warship destroyed an enemy anti-aircraft battery.

Added to this, various enemy batteries chimed in from the flanks.

In wooded areas, enemy batteries that had remained silent and hidden until now also began to fire.

An enemy battery shelled the destroyer during the operation but failed to score.

On 1 March, she was hit by a salvo from heavy enemy batteries ashore, which killed one man and injured 16.

Waller immediately served up a round of return fire at the Japanese guns which silenced one enemy battery.

An attack by the 18th Light stormed the enemy battery, capturing five cannons.

The enemy battery replied, but a shell from the gunboat's 24-pdr.

Late yesterday afternoon I located an enemy battery of big guns; and this morning, another.
