The Japanese had secured the beachheads of Lingayen Gulf and the West Coast of Tayabas Province. The 14th Japanese Imperial Army, under the command of General Masaharu Homma, now started a gigantic pincer attack.

PS To carry out a pincer attack, you need to carry out a pincer movement to get into the right pincer position.
"The pincer movement, or double envelopment, is a military maneuver in which forces simultaneously attack both flanks (sides) of an enemy formation." - Google
