The locals raised in the jungle in the Bataan, the Caraboa, as a beast of burden as well as a source of food and raw materials. The Japanese used these beasts to pave a trail through the minefields. General Nara after evaluating the previous day’s attacks and lack of success concluded, “the enemy was in strength of one division of US troops” ordered his units to prepare for an attack on the night of 1th 13th after taking on reinforcements. The local commander was either a victim of the poor communications net, or was over-eager, as he ordered the operation forward a full 24-hours early. His attack utilized a herd of unfortunate Caraboa, driven into the minefields by handlers.
