Philippines Campaign (1944–1945)
Main article: Philippines Campaign (1944–1945)
In 1945, as part of the offensive to recapture Manila, Fort Drum was assaulted by US forces. After a heavy aerial and naval bombardment, US troops gained access to the deck of the fort on 13 April, and were able to confine the garrison below. Rather than attempting to break in, the troops and engineers adapted the solution first used some days earlier in the assault of mortar forts on Fort Hughes.
There, the troops "pumped two parts diesel oil and one part gasoline" into mortar pits, stood off, and ignited it with tracer bullets. At Fort Drum a similar technique was employed, utilizing air vents on the top deck, but a timed fuse was used rather than tracer fire.
On ignition, the remaining Japanese were annihilated; the flammable mixture kept a fire burning in the fort for several days. With the bay forts, including Fort Drum, thus neutralized, Japanese resistance in the Manila Bay area was ended. The ruins of Fort Drum, including its disabled turrets and 14 inch guns, remain at the mouth of Manila Bay.

没有日方自爆一说
估计里面也不会有什么守备队。这些守备队(几十人)甚至未必有几支枪。 |
