General Yamashita Tomoyuki committed tanks of the 2nd Armored Division in counterattacks to slow the US army's advance. Japanese tanks were ill equipped to take on the Americans but their crews were just as fanatical as any troops in the IJA. West of Binalonan, soldiers and tanks of the Shigemi Detachment attacked the advancing Gls.

Luzon, Phillipines

The Battle of Luzon, was a land battle of the Pacific Theater of Operations of World War II by the Allied forces of the U.S., its colony the Philippines, and allies against forces of the Empire of Japan. The battle resulted in a U.S. and Filipino victory. The Allies had taken control of all strategically and economically important locations of Luzon by March 1945, although pockets of Japanese Resistance held out in the mountains until the unconditional surrender of Japan. While not the highest in U.S. casualties, it is the highest net casualty battle U.S. forces fought in World War II, with 192,000 to 205,000 Japanese combatants dead, 8,000 American combatants killed, and over 150,000 Filipinos, overwhelmingly civilians who were murdered by Japanese forces, mainly during the Manila massacre of February, 1945.
