After forcing the Americans out of the Abucay Line, General Nara launched his 65th Brigade at the newly established Orion-Bagac Line. Towards the end of January, three major battles were fought including a major attack on Trail #2. General Nara did not have adequate maps of the area and did not know the location of the American lines. Thusly, his men walked right into the American Main Line of Resistance. However, the Americans were having troubles of their own. The trail was supposed to be defended by the capable 33rd Infantry Regiment. Command confusion resulted in the 33rd relocating, leaving a large hole in the center of the American line. General Bluemel belatedly called up the 2nd Battalion, 32nd Infantry into the abandoned positions, arriving minutes before the Japanese attack.
