The New Guinea Campaign, the Island of Death, Is Taking a Toll on Japan

In 19 forty four the apocalyptic side of this war, from the japanese perspective, just picks up steam. They inflict something like north of 300 thousand casualties on the chinese for little decisive gain. The disease is killing and incapacitating more japanese, more australians and more americans than the combat. It's a sign that the war is beginning to enter a new phase where, just like in europe, actually the axis have lost the war, but they're going to inue fighting.
