NO MAN IS AN ISLAND
On December 8, 1941 [6:34 to 10:07] Guam is bombed by the Japanese. Sailor George Tweed and five companions initially escape the Japanese occupiers. Eventually the others either die of injuries or are caught and killed by the Japanese, leaving Tweed alone. The Chammoros hide him at the risk of their own lives. Eventually, after thirty months, Tweed makes contact with the American force sent to retake the island
In Racing the Sunrise: Reinforcing America’s Pacific Outposts 1941-1942 by Glen M. Williford (Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD, 2010) we are told at page 208 that that the Japanese started bombing Guam at 8:30 a.m. on December 8.
