Novaliches, Luzon, Philippines 1945-02-01 (8 others)

Overview:

As the Luzon campaign developed, the Japanese front lines began to disintegrate. Forward lines after fighting desperately for weeks began to fall apart under the relentless American attacks. As a result the Japanese and American forces would become intermingled during their turbulent time. On February 1, the 5th Cavalry Group ran into a group of Japanese soldiers from the Shobu Group fleeing west. The Japanese were fleeing in quite a reckless fashion, replacing caution with speed. Trucks and APCs loaded with soldiers were travelling through the village of Novaliches when the Americans sprang a deadly ambush.
