WW2's Most Evil Comeback
After shocking the world by assaulting the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese forces quickly moved to conquer the US-controlled Philippines; this was their one chance to seize the entirety of the Southwest Pacific and claim the resource-rich Dutch East Indies for themselves.

Isolated and weakly armed, General Douglas MacArthur's troops in the Philippines were suddenly overwhelmed by a superior force. Still, Japan was gravely mistaken if it believed the US would relinquish the precious archipelago and its 7,100 islands without a fight.

The Empire had to pay with blood for every inch of land gained as they slowly pushed the Americans south to the Bataan Peninsula. Then, a month into the invasion, the defenders had a glimpse of hope when they achieved the impossible: stopping a major offensive at the Orion-Bagac Line.

Humiliated, Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma had to live with the shame of becoming the first Japanese commander to be defeated in the Pacific War. Suddenly, eradicating the US opposition in the islands became a matter of personal honor…
