More Japanese land on Luzon
Wednesday, December 24, 1941 www.onwar.com
In the Philippines... About 7000 troops of the Japanese 16th Infantry Division land at Lamon Bay in southeast Luzon. In northern Luzon, the Allies have taken the first of five defensive positions designed to delay the Japanese movement toward the Bataan Peninsula. General Douglas MacArthur still commands the forces.
In the Sulu Archipelago... Japanese forces land on Jolo Island.
In the North Atlantic... Free French forces, using corvettes and a submarine occupy the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon off the coast of Canada.
