1942年4月,美军名将麦克阿瑟在菲律宾战役中遭受重创,近9万余名驻菲美军沦为日军的战俘。在经历了地狱般的“巴丹死亡行军”后,美军战俘被囚禁在吕宋岛的多处集中营中,受尽了日军非人虐待与折磨。时隔三年,乾坤逆转,美军取得了太平洋上的战略主动权,一路高歌猛进,在夺取了马绍尔群岛、马里亚纳群岛后,麦克阿瑟迫不及待的挥师杀向菲律宾吕宋岛。其重要目的之一,就是尽快解救出巴丹半岛被俘美军官兵。世界战争史上一次经典的战俘营救行动,就这样在一个叫洛斯巴诺斯的菲律宾小镇上演了。
In April 1942, U.S. military chief MacArthur was hit hard by the Philippine campaign. Nearly 90,000 U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines were reduced to Japanese prisoners of war. After experiencing hellish “death and march of Bataan”, U.S. prisoners of war were imprisoned in various camps in Luzon and subjected to non-human abuse and torture by Japanese troops. After a lapse of three years and the reversal of heaven and earth, the U.S. military made the strategic initiative on the Pacific Ocean and triumphed all the way. After seizing the Marshall Islands and the Mariana Islands, MacArthur could not wait to kill and kill the enemy in Luzon, the Philippines. One of its important purposes is to rescue the captured U.S. troops from the Bataan as soon as possible. A classic POW rescue operation in the history of the world war was staged in a small Philippine town called Los Banos.
