While attacking Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army launched an all-round attack on Southeast Asia, and "grabbed the flag and moved". At dawn on February 8, Tokyo time 194 165438, the Japanese army led by General Toyotomi Yamashita landed at three places on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula near the border. During the attack, although the sea breeze was fierce and the wind and waves were as high as 2 meters, the progress was extremely smooth. By nightfall, Kota Baru airport had been occupied by the Japanese army. On this day, the Japanese army also launched fierce attacks on Hongkong, Guam, Philippine Islands, wake island and Midway Island. In Manila, MacArthur's Far East Air Brigade was badly hit. Huge castles in the air exploded one after another. Smoke billowed everywhere in the airport, and all fighters and 30 medium bombers and observers were burning. There are only three castles in the air, and the rest are all destroyed. All the Japanese bombers returned safely, only seven fighters were lost. This is the second time that the US military has suffered a heavy blow similar to Pearl Harbor.
