Quinauan Point, Bataan 1942-01-24 (5 others)

Overview:

The largest portion of the Japanese seaborne assault had come ashore at Quinauan Point. The American defense quickly responded to the reports of the Japanese landing and sent what forces were available, including grounded aviators, former naval men and Filipino constabulary forces. One of these forces was Captain Jose Tando’s 1st Battalion, 1st Constabulary who received orders that night to move up and assist the beleaguered airmen who had met the initial attack. During one scouting action on the move to Quinauan Point, a patrol was accompanied by a Bren Gun Carrier which had been confiscated from a Canadian ship that had been on its way to Hong Kong when the war started. The crew of the Carrier agreed to rush a machine gun position discovered along the route of advance.

Defender: Japanese (Elements 2nd Battalion, 20th Infantry Regt)
