130th Infantry “End Run” Through Bauang
Daring Sailboat Mission Sets
Stage For Guerrilla Linkup
Luzon - 15 March 1945 - Contact
had to be established between the
130th Infantry Regiment and Col.
Volckmann’s guerrilla forces 15-20
miles up the coast from Aringay.
It was determined that the best way
to accomplish this mission was by
sailboat from Aringay, traveling under
cover of darkness to the small San
Juan harbor near San Fernando.
Asked to make this contact by Col.
J.B. Faulconer was the 130th’s antitank company CO, Captain Leonard
Beechinor. He asked for another
volunteer and Corporal Joseph
Resciniti stepped forward.
Beechinor and Resciniti first went to
another guerrilla camp near Aringay
for a day or two to learn more about
their destination.
They were told “when the wind is
rght we will sail, but not before then.”
It was about two o’clock in the
morning a couple days later that they
were told the breezes were in their
favor.
“So, we went down to the beach and
got in this little sailboat,” Beechinor
recalled. “In it was a Filipino sailor,
Resciniti, myself - and a rooster.”
A rooster?
“Yeah, a rooster. We sailed up the
coast for about 8 hours and as we got
to the mouth of this small harbor, I was
dozing when the damn rooster started
crowing. I peered over the side of the
sailboat and could see this Japanese
cargo ship unloading. I guess they
were used to sounds like this so they
didn’t pay it any attention,” Beechinor
said. “There were also patrol boats in
the area. They didn’t come close to us
but we could see them.
“Anyway, we proceeded on north. We
had a map showing the approximate
position of Volckmann’s guerrillas. As
we approached this desolate looking
area with a long stretch of sandy
beach, our sailor said that according
to the map, this was where we were
to get off.
“He didn’t want to get in any
closer because, number one, he was
concerned about getting hung up on a
sand bar and, number two, he didn’t

Luzon mission.
“We only had our sidearms - no rifles
as we were instructed not to fight in the
event of capture. So, we proceeded on
this big sandy beach with jungle in the
distance and on the sides.
“The specific mission was to contact
the guerrilla headquarters and to
subsequently join the 33rd Division
with the guerrillas and to pinch off that
area of coastline,” Beechinor said. “As
we proceeded inland, we saw nobody
at first, then we began to see movement
on our right flank, our left flank and
out in front of us, but we kept right on
walking.”
You had no way of knowing whether
these were friendly or enemy units?
“That’s right. We just kept walking and
when we got to the edge of the jungle,
they closed in on us and it turned out we
were right on target with the map. It was
Col. Volckmann’s camp! We were taken

right to him where we exchanged
information. We spent the night. The
instruction I had given the boatman
was to be back the next day, again if
the wind was favorable. I remember
we had carabao steaks as those in the
camp celebrated that we were the first
Americans they had seen.
“The next day they escorted us back
to the beach and sure enough, the old
boatman was there with the boat. We
swam out, only he was closer to shore
this time as he had protection. I had
also been instructed to reconnoiter a
road which could be used as a landing
strip that an L-5 liaison aircraft could
land on. And we had found a spot that
would be suitable.
“We sailed back down the coastline
to Aringay where I reported directly
back to General Clarkson. He said,
‘You’ll have to go back with the L-5
as you are the only one who knows
where the landing strip is.’
“It was just a day or two later that the
pilot and I went back up and picked
up Col. Volckmann and brought
him back to meet directly with Col.
Faulconer and then with the Division
commander. The information they
exchanged led directly to the linkup of
the 33rd with the guerrillas up north.”
In a recent interview with the
Newsletter, Beechinor said, “I would
give my right arm to find Resciniti
who, I believe lived in the New York
or New Jersey area.”
(Ed. note: In separate action on
Luzon, Beechinor and Resciniti each
received the Silver Star.)
An Account of Subsequent Action
from the book: The Golden Cross:
The courageous trip by Beechinor
and Resciniti resulted in continuing
radio contact between the 33rd and the
Northern Luzon guerrillas and a linkup
five days later. During this period, 130th
planners were allowed time to plan the
attack leading to the securing of the
Bauang bridge and its surrounding area.
Guerrillas attached to the
130th reported Bauang was heavily
garrisoned by the enemy’s 378th
Infantry Brigade and the Hayasaki
Detachment. These units had earlier
occupied Aringay but pulled out when
the 130th attacked.
The Japanese maintained a 24hour guard on the Bauang side of the
bridge and were ordered to touch off
previously planted demolitions if our
troops attempted a bridge crossing.
The 130/1Bn was designated to
carry the ball on the next phase of
the end run. Another task force
was combined with them, including
Cannon Company, one platoon from
Recon Troop; a platoon of tanks from
Co.B775th Tank Bn. and the same
engineer units that had so expertly
checked the Aringay bridge.
These units were backed up by the
124 FA, a P-51 squadron and a Navy
destroyer 2,000 yards off Bauang.
This multitude of units was called
Boy Force, commanded by Lt. Col.
Ernest Jessup.
Before the attack was ordered,
ground commanders made several
observation flights with veteran Piper
Cub pilots.
Everything was ready the afternoon
of 19 March and late that night, Boy
Force trucked to an assembly area
about 1,500 yards south of Bauang
Bridge.
2
The plan was to send the engineers
across the bridge, supported by Cannon
Co., Recon and the M-7’s, while
Able, Baker and Charley Companies
swung off to the west, forded the river
near its mouth and cut back toward
Bauang proper. The two efforts were
coordinated so that the bridge crossing
and the flanking attack would coincide.
It was 0230 when the engineer
detachment approached the south
end of the bridge. As the recon team
prepared to search the structure, the
2nd platoon of Co. B, 108th Engineers
deployed ready to provide covering
small arms fire. Behind them riflemen
of the 1st Battalion already had begun
a flanking maneuver.
At 0430 the engineers cautiously
moved onto the first section of the
bridge, probing and listening for
detonations and mines. The span was
clear. Next came the paved causeway
which the engineers also negotiated
without alerting the enemy. When
they hit the second span, a few men
stopped and worked feverishly to
dislodge a 250-pound aerial bomb
which was found strapped to the
underside of a steel girder. With a
loud splash, the bomb was jettisoned
into the river below. Troops waited to
learn if the noise alerted the Japanese.
Still no reaction.
On 20 March the 130th Infantry
traversed the debris-littered highway
into San Fernando, finally linking up
Cont’d on page 3
End Run - cont’d from page 2
with the guerrilla force. The guerrillas
were joyful. Besides Beechinor
and Resciniti, these were the first
American soldiers they had seen since
the Philippines fell in 1942.
That same night, a battalion
of reorganized enemy remnants
blundered onto the highway which
the 130th now held. As the Japanese
casually strolled down the road in
a closely bunched column, 130th
Infantry machine guns cut loose,
mowing them down by the scores.
The 130th lost but four killed and
13 wounded in the ten-day BauangNaguilian sweep; counted enemy dead
totaled 306.
(Ed. note: a detailed account of this action
is chronicled on pages 163-177 of The
Golden Cross.)
Donald Clifton Summers
January 29, 1926 March 30, 2011
Don served his country in WWII
with the 33rd Infantry Division as an
Army soldier in the Pacific Theater.
He took part in the liberation of the
Philippine Islands and later served
during the occupation of Japan.’
He passed away after a courageous
battle with cancer at age 85. Don
retired in 1992, then volunteered his
skills in tax preparation for senior
citizens and was an active member of
his Senior Center in Summersville. A
member of the Summersville Baptist
Church for over fifty years, he served
as a deacon, Sunday School and Boy
Scout leader.
He is survived by his devoted wife
of 62 years, Lauretta, and a loving
family who will revere his memory
as a great American, always ready
to serve.
The 33rd says goodbye to a great
friend - Joe Rice. Joe and Marie have
been faithful through the years to the
Association and helped with many
reunions.
Joe was born in Sunfield, IL, and
drafted into the Army 13 October,
1942. He was a veteran of Company
K, 130th Infantry Regiment. He
trained at Ft. Lewis, Washington and
Joseph D. Rice
in the Mojave Desert of California,
May
25, 1922-Nov 16, 2011
then shipped out to Hilo, Hawaii.
He was a squad leader and saw action in New Guinea and Morotai in the
Netherlands East Indies.
His Division landed on the island of Luzon 10 February, 1945 and it was
there in the Philippines that Joe faced the fiercest fighting of his time in
service. On Bench Mark and Question Mark Hills, his Company K received
the Presidential Unit Citation for regaining the summits of both peaks from
the Japanese. He was wounded by a Japanese hand grenade.
Joe’s decorations include the bronze star, purple heart, good conduct medal,
Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medal, the Philippine Liberation medal, victory
medal, Japanese Occupation medal and combat infantry badge.
He was a member of the DuQuoin VFW Post 513 and Disabled American
Veterans. Joe was active in civic affairs including service as president of
Lion’s Club, and for seven years with the Perry County March of Dimes.
Music played a big role in Joe’s life of service. He played in a band during
the war and at 33rd Division Association Reunions. For over 70 years, he was
in a jazz combo in Southern Illinois as a drummer, later playing at nursing
homes and senior centers.
We send our condolences to his dear wife, Marie and to the entire family.
Joe will be greatly missed by all.
Charles J. Bechtel
March 24, 1918 - January 31, 2012
Charles was a staff sergeant in Co H 123rd Infantry, 33rd Division, serving
in the Southern Philippines and New Guinea where he received two bronze
stars, the combat infantry badge and a good conduct medal..
He passed away at age 93 after a distinguished life in business and he
loved his family. Charles was a father to many and the first to help when
someone was in need. Every year, for 50 years, he renewed his bond with
his military friends with whom he served in the war.
Charles and Fran loved to entertain at their kitchen table where all were
welcome. Fran, his wife of 65 years, preceded him in death in 2006. Both
left unforgettable good memories in their community and with their five
children, 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
We honor Charles’ memory as a member of the 33rd and for a life well
lived.

Betty Poynter
Robert L. Christensen
May 9, 1921-February 5, 2012
Bob’s life was filled with great memories;
his parent’s greenhouse on Benton St.,
working at Tom Lawson’s gas station,
bowling, roller skating, motorcycles,
serving in the 33rd Infantry Division in
WWII with Company B of the 108th
Combat Engineers - they built roads on
New Guinea, Morotai and Luzon.
His Phillips 66 service stations, the
Corvairs, the Aurioraland Auto Restorers
and the Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts
Clubs are all great memories. When he
retired from the service station business
in 1983 after nearly 70 years of serving
customers and their behicles, he never quit
making close friends. He delighted in their
happiness. He loved tinkering with cars.
In the military, Bob was a topnotch
soldier. He and company clerk Earl Thayer
were reunited in 1995 and they renewed
their fellowship with a host of Company
B vets, catching up on everything in their
lives.
Harry Arnold Bennett
November 22, 1922 - November 14, 2011
Son, Mark’s Tribute: Dad taught me to
fish, hunt and handle a gun safely, gifts
that have lasted my entire life. He was
a particularly skilled fly fisherman. We
didn’t have a lot of money but Dad always
made sure we had fishing poles and took us
often to fish for carp in the Hudson River.
We always had junk cars that needed
fixing and my brothers and I were assistant
mechanics.
Dad was a scavenger - on the lookout
for treasures others had thrown away. He
always found something to bring home.
We made frequent trips to a huge landfill
in Lodi, New Jersey and combed through
the debris.
While overseas with the the 33rd Infantry
Division in WWII, Dad wrote to Mom
regularly - 102 letters!
2nd Samuel in the Bible says We all die.
Water spilled cannot be gathered up again.
But God does not take away life. Through
Jesus, He works out ways to get us back.
God has received Dad back home to Him.
September 29,1924-March 22, 2012
We learned the sad news from Betty’s
devoted husband, Eugene Poynter K/130,
that his dear wife, has passed away.
They would have celebrated 71 years of
marriage in May.
Betty will always be remembered by the
33rd Association and the Newsletter as one
of the most dependable helpers at our reunions, a dear friend,
always ready to do what was needed for a successful gettogether and always with that sweet smile.
A floral bouquet will represent our respect and love for this
great Lady of the 33rd at her service March 26. Our deepest
condolences to Gene and the family she loved.
Gene’s address is: 311 Donan St., Mount City, MO 64470.

From Ed Koryzno 123H ...
Taps sounds for each of us as the
years go by - now some 70 years
later. In my company there are
just ten soldiers remaining alive
today. I want to say to each of you
that it is imperative that you leave
your history to your children and
grandchildren - the biographical
history that you made in WWII.
For their sakes, ask for assistance
if you have to, but make the effort
to write down your experiences
in the war. It doesn’t have to
be fancy and I feel sure you can
locate a grown child close by or a
compassionate helper to assist you
in this important work. You were
there. You served.

A Word from Bill and Irene
Some say that today we are in a
war for everything for which the
Men of the 33rd fought and died.
The war is at home between big
government with unconscionable
debt versus individual freedom
and the free enterprise system that
made our country the economic
engine of the world. We are at
serious risk of losing those values
and principles that we have always
held dear that were set out for us
by the Founders in the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights.
In this critical year, your vote
could make the difference in which
way our nation will go. If you
are a praying American, please
remember to bless our troops
and ask the Lord to knock some
good sense into our leadership on
both sides of the aisle so we can
get back on track to job growth,
energy independence and pride in
the greatest nation on earth.
