Do you know how many people there are on the Bataan Death March?

There are two main reasons for this:

First, this Japanese army (the 42nd Division of the 14th Army, the commander of the 14th Army is Masaharu Honma) is well-trained and experienced in peacetime. And the action taken was decisive and sudden.

The second is because the "American-Philippine forces" under MacArthur at that time were all rabble!

There are historical records: At that time, there were 10,000 inexperienced American troops under Mack's command.

70,000 or 80,000 poorly equipped and poorly trained Filipino soldiers. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, all the hopes of the United States in the South Pacific were pinned on this rabble, which was large in number but surprisingly low in combat effectiveness......And the reason for this is the result of the United States following the strategy of "Europe first, then Asia".

ps: Please pay special attention to the landlord. Although there were indeed 10,000 captured US-Philippine troops on the "Bataan March", not all of them were real US troops, and the actual number of US troops captured (according to the data provided above) should be less than 10,000, excluding those killed in battle.

The rest are "Filipino maids"!

That's your own misunderstanding. Long before the Yamashita Fengbun operation, Japan's naval and air forces had already carried out large-scale strikes, and the Japanese ground forces had long besieged Wanmei, the Philippine coalition forces, note that it was not the American forces in a simple sense, and then finally surrendered on the Bataan Peninsula, you are talking about the final escort operation. How many people do you need to escort the captives**?

At that time, the battlefield was particularly chaotic, and the two sides used a lot of ** when they were fighting, so many people died on the battlefield.

In the particularly tragic history of World War II, the "Bataan Death March" event is particularly tragic, that was the crime of exterminating humanity committed by the Japanese army again. It can be said in terms of the degree of bloodshed, and the conventional statement that the death toll of more than 150,000 people in more than 100 kilometers cannot be described at all in this cruelty. Not being able to drink water is a nightmare for the prisoners of war, in fact, although the Japanese army does not give water to drink, but the Philippines has abundant rain, and on the way of the "death march", clear springs and even wells are common along the way.

But if any prisoner of war dared to drink water, he would be immediately killed by the Japanese bullets, which shows the cruelty of the prisoner.

In World War II, there was a particularly brutal "Bataan Blood Battle".After the American army was defeated by the Japanese army, 78,000 American and Filipino soldiers surrendered to Japan, an event that can be found in the history books. Even more brutal was what happened next, when the POWs were forced to brave the sweltering heat and walk more than 65 miles through the jungles of the Philippines to reach a prisoner of war camp, arguably the most brutal event of World War II, which survivors dubbed the "Bataan Death Tour", in which 15,000 soldiers were killed.

It was not that there was no water on the way, but that the enemy troops did it on purpose. Some guards would let some of the prisoners of war drink waterIt didn't take long for a dozen prisoners of war to gather at the well. This caught the attention of an enemy soldier, who suddenly raised his bayonet and stabbed a prisoner of war in the neck. The prisoner of war immediately fell to his knees, breathing rapidly, face down to the ground, and died without drinking a sip of water, blood staining the artesian well.

The book is a record of all the events that took place during the death march of Bataan. The book was written by an American writer who interviewed many survivors of the Bataan Death March, so the Bataan Death March is real.

More than 100 kilometers and more than 10,000 people died! The Bataan Death March was so tragic that the Japanese were inhumane.

This part of the march fully reflects the brutality of the Japanese soldiers and the abuse of prisoners, and this part of the march is not given, and the weak ones die.

Far from being able to describe the cruelty of this incident, the Japanese army simply exterminated humanity, abused prisoners of war to the extreme, and killed people at the slightest disappointment.

It's very miserable, and this result is made by the Japanese, and Japan is really a beast.

The conventional saying that "15,000 people died in 100 kilometers" is far from describing the cruelty of this incident, and the Japanese army simply exterminated humanity, abused prisoners of war to the extreme, and killed people at the slightest disappointment.

At that time, the march was because of the Japanese, and the prisoners were brutally treated, and there was not enough water and mistakes on such a long road, and there were many deaths.

After MacArthur fled the Philippines, American prisoners of war marched to the death of Bataan, falling 129 kilometers.

It's terrible, and you can be beheaded at any time.

It says fifteen thousand.
