Bataan Invasion - Bataan Invasion
Immediately after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese Army's 14th Army (Commander: Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma) invaded the Philippines and occupied Manila on January 2, 1942. However, during this time, the American-Philippine forces avoided a decisive battle and withdrew their main forces to the Bataan Peninsula, where they put up fierce resistance from heavily fortified positions. As a result, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but with increased military strength, they captured the peninsula in early April and occupied the Corregidor fort on May 7, completely taking control of the entire Philippines.

Japanese:
太平洋戦争の開戦と同時に日本陸軍の第14軍(司令官本間雅晴中将)はフィリピンに進攻し,1942年1月2日にはマニラを占領した。しかし,この間,アメリカ・フィリピン軍は決戦を避けて主力をバターン半島に撤収させ,以後,堅陣に拠って激しい抵抗を行った。このため日本軍は大きな損害をこうむったが,兵力の増強をえて4月上旬には同半島を攻略し,5月7日にはコレヒドール要塞を占領してフィリピン全域を完全に制圧した。
