Longoskawayan Point, Bataan 1942-01-23 (3 others)

Overview:

At 0800, 23 January, the aircraft lookout on Mt. Pucot reported to Commander Bridget that a Japanese seaborne landing had been made on Longoskawayan Point, 2,000 yards west of Mariveles. Japanese strength was estimated at only one squad. Platoon Sergeant Robert A. Clement was ordered by Bridget to command a hastily gathered platoon of 36 sailors to support the two Marine lieutenants. Clement asked for another Marine noncommissioned officer, whom he did get, and led his men into the jungle. Sergeant Clement deployed his men in loose formation and moved toward Longoskawayan Point.- - - - Here is a unique situation not normally seen in ASL, a meeting engagement at night. Two opposing infantry forces must climb the board 39 hill and capture as much ground as possible. Both sides attack in this tactical puzzle.

Defender: Japanese (2nd Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment)
