Historical Background:
Once the US and Philippine troops were in the Bataan peninsula, MacArthur ordered to prepare a second defensive line between Mauban on the East coast and Mabatang on the Western coast. In fact, it was two defensive lines separated by the Natib mountain with the 1st Philippine Corps in the Mauban area and the 2nd Philippine Corps in the west area. On the 09th of January, Japanese troops attacked in the East and were badly repulsed. Then on the 14th, they attacked the 2nd Corps and broke the front near the valley of the Abo-Abo river after infiltration by the wooden hills near Mount Natib. Finally, the Abucay-Mauban line was abandoned by Allied troops on the 22nd of January.
