The pacific front
Across the newly opened pacific front the Japanese would launch attack after attack on the multitude of small islands owned by the Americans or colonial powers. The most notable would be the assault on Guam. The Japanese would unleash their gas and biological weapons upon the defending forces. The landing forces swept across the corpse dotted beaches and tore through the gas filled cities of Piti and Hagatna. The invasion would become known as the slaughter of Guam due to the sheer amount of Gas and biological weapons unleashed on the small island. Out of the 23’394 people on Guam prior to the invasion 10 would survive to the end of the war, the island itself can not be resettled until the 23rd century due to the plagues that infested the island. Out of the invasion force none would survive till the end of the war.
The American forces in the Philippines commanding officer was lieutenant General Douglas MacArthur. A man who despite what some would claim would be completely unprepared for the Japanese attack. The attack would be launched at the same time as the attack on Pearl Harbour. He would get no warning no preparation just a flight of Japanese planes heralding death. His headquarters would be hit by three anti-ship bombs completely obliterating the building wiping out a majority of the high command in the Philippines. He himself would survive that attack as at the time he was inspecting a marine division nearby. Said division would be attacked by a pair of Zeros which cut down swathes of the men there. Miraculously General MacArthur would survive completely unscathed from that attack. As he moved to rally the American forces around Manila his Jeep would be hit by a bomb killing him and everyone around him instantly. The remaining American forces in the Philippines would fight a battle of attrition for four months before they would be wiped out by gas attacks and smallpox.
