Overview:

During the retreat of the North Luzon Force to Bataan in the last days of 1941, two recently mobilized reserve divisions of the Philippine Army took up temporary defensive positions astride the Concepcion-Magalang Road along the so-called D-5 Line. The 21st Infantry Division held the western flank, while the 11th Infantry Division held the road and the eastern flank. Their orders were to repel any attacks until the night of January 1st-2nd, then resume their withdrawal southward. In the afternoon of New Year’s Day, a Japanese force struck the 11th Division’s left flank along the road in an attempt to rout the defenders by a coup de main.
Attacker: Japanese (Kanno Detachment of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Formosa Regiment and 9th Infantry Regiment)
Defender: American (2nd Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment (PA), and 1st Field Artillery Group (Provisional))

2021-11-27(A) Martí Cabré vs Ramon Povill Japanese winThe Americans put an up-front defense that I was able engage with a couple of banzai charges, then he retreated and I slowly reached the first buildings but then the battle stalled there. I destroyed a vehicle with a T-H Hero and got one single smoke that landed on the .50 MG, being able then get close and break it. Finally with two truns to go I started taking buildings and the American had only one GO squad left and the gun and he conceded.
