Battle of Bataan: Abucay Line
Historical background
On January 7th, 1942 Japan invaded the Philippines. Under orders from General MacArthur American troops and their allies retreated to a defensive line that stretched from Mt. Bataan to the China Sea. The American troops, although outnumbering Japan, were of mixed quality and had low morale. After three months of hard fighting and with American supplies dwindling, the line broke and thousands of American troops were forced to surrender.
