37th was in Clark Airfield. I am not sure what happened to it during the battle, it is a mystery to me, but some documents show the unit had several thousand men at the end of the war.

The 57th was on Matua Island in the Kuriles, it was formed from the 53rd Guard Unit Matua Detachment. It is also a mysterious unit, I am yet to find its commander.

I have never heard of a 28th Guard Unit, it may not exist. That number would suggest Northern New Guinea/East Indies.
