Historical Background:
After the withdrawal of the Mauban-Abucay line, the US and Philippine troops made a new defensive line between Bagac and Orion. The pivot of this line was Mount Samat, in the middle of the Bataan peninsula. During two months, Japanese troops reorganized and reinforced, particularly with heavy artillery. In this period of time the battle continued in order to weaken the US defense with some landings on the points of the peninsula. On the 3rd of April,General Homma was ready,the Japanese offensive began. During three days, Japanese troops made their main effort towards Mount Samat which felt on the 06th of April. At this moment the US defense collapsed and on the 9th of April, Bataan defenders surrendered. But it was only the beginning of the tragedy, a lot of prisoners died during the infamous "Death March".
