History from Guam:
https://www.guampedia.com/wwii-from-occupation-to-liberation/#Chamorros_massacredThe besieged Japanese killed virtually everyone in sight during the occupation’s last days. Three teenagers in the jungle looking for food in Yona were grabbed by Japanese soldiers, tied to coconut trees and then beheaded. Many others perished in similar situations.
Another danger late in the occupation was the American bombardment of Guam. Many people, their number unknown, were killed, victims of naval or aerial bombing.
Brutality took its toll as the Japanese were becoming more and more desperate with the Americans approaching Guam. Hanna Chance Torres, after having been beaten and berated by Japanese soldiers, died while she and others were enroute to the Manenggon concentration camp.
There were victims of the intensifying American shelling and bombing of the island as well. Elderly Jose Delgado and two young women were saying the rosary in a makeshift shelter in Tutujan when a missile blasted the shelter, killing all three people.
Don Pascual Artero described Guam as a veritable hell:
So green is vegetation and so pretty a sight had Guam always been, now it was all burned. It had neither a tree nor a coconut with leaves. All now was burned or destroyed by bullets and bombs.
With the coming of the American invasion forces on 21 July 1944, for the Japanese defenders responsible for repelling the Americans, Guam would indeed become a hell on earth. The full liberation of Guam took three weeks with 1,800 US servicemen killed, with total casualties at 7,400. Japanese casualties were about 17,500.
During the nearly three years of occupation 1,170 Chamorros were killed, with another 14, 721 suffering from atrocities of war – beatings, forced labor, torture, rape, murder, beheadings, massacres, forced marches and concentration camps.
