You can see why I chose it for a strong point. The highway can be covered, there are good fields of fire around the road, and anyone approaching the position has to move across some open ground. Unfortunately for the Mexicans here, the commander of Hermosillo Brigade followed the rule of concentrating his combat power in the main effort. The Mexicans had no howitzers, while the Americans rolled up with a battalion of 105mm guns. This position was supposed to prevent traffic from moving, not withstand an attack by the entire 111th Brigade. If the defenders had had some artillery and time to dig in properly, they would have done better.
