Thus, that same day the 5th Marines and the Whaling group were recalled to Lunga Point. The 2nd Marine's 1st and 2nd Battalions, plus the 1st Battalion, 164th Infantry took up positions about 2,000 yards west of Point Cruz with plans to hold in that location. With their route of retreat still open, the Sendai (2nd) Division survivors began to reach Kokumbona this same day. Around this time, Nakaguma was killed by an artillery shell. After chasing away the Japanese forces at Koli Point, the U.S. renewed the western offensive towards Kokumbona on 10 November with three battalions under the overall command of U.S. Marine Colonel John Arthur. In the meantime, fresh Japanese troops from the 228th Infantry Regiment of the 38th Infantry Division landed by Tokyo Express over several nights beginning on 5 November and effectively resisted the American attack. The Marines conducted vigorous patrol activities during a seven-day period and by his efficient employment of men and supporting weapons, led his unit in repulsing a strong enemy night attack. On 10 November, he had led his Marines in seizing a strong Japanese point of resistance. Now the campaign for Guadalcanal entered its final phase. The 2nd and 8th Marines were now blooded outfits who had fought and won against a tough, determined opponent. And their brother artillerymen, tankers, engineers, and support Marines of the Second Marine Division were combat-hardened veterans. Of the men who had landed with the First Marine Division back in August, almost all were wracked with tropical diseases, plagued with jungle rot, and malnourished.

HM2 Alfred Schuler was declared Missing in Action on 10 Nov 1942.
