This World War 2 story reveals how one officer turned defensive defeat into offensive terror. Why Captain Arthur Wermuth infiltrated alone behind enemy lines during WW2 — and killed 116 Japanese soldiers in 21 days??

On January 5, 1942. Captain Arthur Wermuth, 57th Infantry Philippine Scouts, Bataan Peninsula. Japanese forces pushed 78,000 Allied defenders into retreat. Wermuth organized 185 Filipino volunteers into "suicide snipers" and began solo infiltrations behind enemy lines. Every training manual said offensive operations were suicide against superior forces. Military command called it reckless.

They were all not correct.

What Wermuth discovered that January wasn't about firepower. It was about fear - making the enemy afraid to sleep, afraid of shadows, afraid of ghosts. By the end of his Kalaguiman operation - where he burned an entire village and destroyed a bridge alone, killing 300+ Japanese - other scouts started using his infiltration tactics. And they survived.

This technique spread unofficially through Philippine Scout units, soldier to soldier, before TIME Magazine published his story in February 1942 under the headline "One Man Blitz". The Japanese called him "Ghost of Bataan" - Bataan no Yurei - and increased security across all forward positions.
