Overview:
As disaster manifested itself in every form for Fil-American forces, General Parker, the American commander of II Corps, looked for units to plug gaps in the line. Units of untrained Filipinos would quickly form up and then, just as quickly, disperse or disintegrate. There were, however, still some units under control facing the Japanese. And with them was General Bluemel. Bluemel had all but lost hope of being able to right the sinking ship in II Corps’ sector. Parker ordered Colonel Vance and the remaining 26th Cavalry, without horses but still the most effective fighting force on Bataan, to report to Bluemel at the intersection of Trails 2 and 10. Bluemel positioned the horseless cavalry just north of a large crater that was blocking vehicular movement southward and ordered them to hold in place. Bluemel then found some reinforcements and ordered them to assist the now hard-pressed position as they were in danger if being overwhelmed by a large force of well-trained and lead Japanese infantry.Attacker: Japanese (Elements 8th Infantry Regt., 4th Infantry Division)
