Elements of the Us 1st Cavalry enter the southern outskirts of Manila. Here they discovered that Rear Admiral Sanji Iwabuchi, commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy's 31st Naval Special Base Force, had ordered his troops to stand and fight to the last man. The Battle of Manila is often referred to as the "Stalingrad of Asia," a battle considered one of the most intense and worst urban battles ever fought. 1st Cavalry would get their first bloody encounter here!
