make sure to subscribe Neves Fernandez was born around 1906 on the Philippine Islands before the war she owned a wholesale business and following the Japanese invasion of the Philippines she ceased trading and she also was a teacher the Japanese would commit large-scale atrocities in the area and it’s believed that around 500 000 Filipinos died during the Japanese Occupation many women were stolen and were forced to work as comfort women for the Japanese Army and they were kidnapped on the streets also the Japanese ordered large-scale

executions and massacres and they committed scores of atrocities against Allied soldiers in the area too there were elements of resistance and Guerrilla activity that were successful and as a war continued this increased in its numbers and it’s believed that over a quarter of a million people were part of anti-japanese operations and it continued to grow as a Japanese Occupation continued these groups often gathered intelligence and smuggled it to American forces but they also suffered from a lack of equipment and weapons

there also wasn’t much coordination between different groups but then more supplies were delivered to Guerrilla groups some of the crimes committed were truly shocking including prisoners of War being tortured and they were then forced into the open and were beaten by Japanese forces many were also forced into sadistic medical experiments and surgery without anesthetic which resulted in death others were forced to drink excessive amounts of water they were then tied to the ground and Japanese garden jumped up

and down on their stomachs but Neves Fernandez was living dangerously and as she was also escorted her she was concerned that her students would be forcibly taken by the Japanese and she also worried for herself she worried that her female students would be kidnapped and forced into Comfort stations and Fernandez then decided that enough was enough she took her Palms against the occupation she gathered a group of Native men and together they began to plan how to fight the occupying Japanese soldiers and forces

they believed that stealth actions were more successful and she then began to train her men how to fight and also how to kill using knives discreetly they also would make clandestine weapons such as shotguns from gas pipes which were loaded with gunpowder and Rusty Nails and she also with her group made grenades they did manage to steal some Japanese weapons but with this she became the only female Guerrilla Commander inside of the Philippines Nevis herself was considered a talented shot at Marx women but also was a bolo

fighter she used a bolo knife as it was easy to get hold of as it was used for clearing vegetation in difficult Terrain but she became a silent killer and she developed a technique that was deadly and terrifying she was a Silent Assassin and she would wear a black dress and would fight barefooted so no one could hear her her technique specifically was to stab the enemy behind and below the earlobe which would sever the Carotid artery in the internal jugular this led to the brain and immediately forced a soldier

to lose consciousness the blade would be stabbed two inches and she would then twist it 90 degrees this made the victim unable to Gaspar air or scream for help and the only sound would be the struggle from the victim but it was most probable that they were already out cold before they succumbed to their deaths the Japanese forces began to fear her greatly and she and her men carried out a number of ambushes on the Japanese under the cover of Darkness they would walk throughout the jungle and Ambush the soldiers and her 110 men

as They carried out attacks near to Tacloban and over the course of two and a half years would kill more than 200 Japanese soldiers the Japanese were confused as to who was carrying out these killings in the jungle to begin with but then they heard about nives Fernandez the woman leading a group of resistance fighters in the jungle and they offered a reward of 10 000 Philippine Pesos on her head and placed a bounty on her some people did try to hunt for her but she managed to evade capture and survive the wall

it was also claimed that her gorillas also managed to save many women who had been assaulted or about to be assaulted by the Japanese they also managed to save some women from being taken into slavery by the forces and also in certain Villages they managed to completely liberate them of enemy soldiers wiping out the complete enemy presence in them at the end of the second world war the Americans arrived nearby and Fernandez in her forces had already liberated many villages and also freed some comfort women she was pictured showing some Americans

food never any water except the soapy water in the baths working with gorillas south of Tacloban Miss Fernandez rounded up native men to resist the Japanese these men she said had free American rifles the rest they made themselves out of a gas pipe they loaded them with gunpowder and old nails they also make grenades and sometimes they got hold of Japanese weapons us Intelligence Officers said the Japanese offered 10 000 pesos for her head she was wounded once there is a bullet scar on her right forearm nives Fernandez was an ex-school teacher
