The town of Mascota. in Moncada

lac and Lucena. NO great damage
or casualties were reported in these
attacks.
Japanese planes attacked the port
area of Manila savagely as invasion
forces to north and south struck
at the heavily out-numbered Unit
eel States and Philippines Army.
Reports reached Army headquarters
that heavy Japanese reinforcements
were landing on the coast.
CThe Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
anese tried desperately to bomb Ma
nila's waterfront but their bombs
fell short of the target.
(Shortly thereafter there was seen
huge column of smoke from the
direction of Nichols Field, just
south of Manila. Apparently the
Japanese had again attacked the
field the correspondent said, but

There is a range of jungle hills
between the Perak river and the
railroad, and cultivated areas ex-
tended along the river valley, with
some mines and rubber estates,
many small streams and criss cross
ing roads and innumerable minor
paths.
Much of the valley was reported
flooded. and the japanese were
trying to move reinforcementS by
raft down stream while other jap
anese troops sought to advance on
the higher ground on each side.
The Imperial forces mad the ad-
vantage of cover and prepared po-
sitions and they were more FAM
liar with the territory.
1t was also reported that the
fighting forces were now receiving
aid from an increasing number of
guerrillaS, who, like the Russians
on the eastern front, penetrated
the enemy rear.
