With the defenses of Lingayen Gulf shattered, Gen. MacArthur has decided to retreat to the Bataan peninsula, though there are no waiting supplies there. So while there is fighting to the north and south of Manila, supplies and men are moved to the final defensive position. However, MacArthur himself sails to Corregidor Island. But Gen. Homma increases the pressure with a fresh invasion at Lamon Bay.
