GEN. MacARTHUR’S orders to withdraw my
men to Bataan came at a time when my
north Luzon force of approximately 28,000
men—2s,ooo of them still untrained—were scat
tered over a considerable area.
The average distance we had to withdraw
was nearly 150 miles. But first those units had
to be rounded up to present the kind of semi
solid front we would need for the delaying actions
we would be called upon to fight.
One such delaying action assigned to us
was to hold fast on the line of the Rio Grande
de Pampanga to enable Gen. Jones* south
Luzon force to withdraw northward before the
Jap attack in the souths swing around Manila
Bay and duck into Bataan.
The Japs coming down from the north after
us put considerable pressure on us and made more
difficult the task of shepherding thousands of be
wildered and inexperienced men into position for
the withdrawal.
They hit retreating remnants of Col. Bon
nett’s old force and further demoralized them.
They hit the 71st Division so hard that it drove
that undermanned force right v past Binalonan,
where the battle-weary 26th Cavalry was refitting,
thus making the 26th our chief front line force
again.
