According to the plan, Liao Mingyu left a company in Kahun Town to destroy the railway line and contain the Japanese supply troops, while the others rushed to the Myitkyina battlefield.

The first regiment was divided into two groups. Liao Mingyu handed over the command of the main force of the regiment to Yao Ma and asked them to go north along the railway line, while he continued to march along the India-Burma Highway.

The march was not peaceful, and we encountered several sneak attacks by small groups of Japanese troops. They were not many in number, but they hid in the woods and set up ambushes at the must-pass places on the roads, causing considerable losses to the troops.

Although Liao Mingyu also sent out a large number of reconnaissance teams to search in teams, there were always fish that slipped through the net hiding in the woods, and they were bled from time to time.

These crazy little devils do everything they can, with the determination to die, they go to bushes, haystacks, crevices between rocks...even hang in trees in twos and threes, tie their bodies with ropes, eat, drink and defecate, just waiting.

The enemy troops below were killed when they passed by. Although they would eventually be beaten into pieces by the soldiers, this life-threatening fighting style really gave Liao Mingyu a headache.

Such behavior also occurred on the Pacific battlefield. In order to delay the US military's attack, the Japanese sent many soldiers to ambush the opponent's marching route and staged various suicide attacks, which also caused the US military to suffer huge losses.

Now the group was facing the same situation, so much so that the soldiers became frightened. Everything looked like Japanese in the jungle, and the marching speed was greatly affected.

The little Japs were already desperate, so Liao Mingyu had no choice but to intensify the search by the reconnaissance team. At the same time, he ordered all soldiers to be more vigilant and shoot immediately if they saw suspicious objects.

He also had flamethrowers roaming around the edge of the team, ready to support at any time. As soon as they found a canopy fire point where the Japs were stationed, they would immediately open the valve and burn the forest together, or use a rocket launcher to directly blast the tree trunks to pieces.

All in all, you don’t have to save money to make it for me!

Now that Myitkyina has been surrounded by armies from all walks of life, they can only send out such a small group of troops to harass. Moreover, the road from Nankan to Myitkyina is open and the required ammunition and supplies can be sent to the front line at any time. There is no need at all.

Worry about consumption issues.

However... Chen Jize was very effective in the aspect of being a prodigal. When he attacked Bhamo, he tasted the sweetness of all-round fire suppression by aircraft, tanks and artillery. This tactic of being so rich that he was almost a prodigal seemed to have opened a new door for him.

The Japanese have more say on this point, because the most bullied section of their entire Myitkyina defense line is the south. Chen Jize's only brigade will advance more than ten kilometers every day. It is an almost irreversible terrorist offensive.

Hundreds of heavy artillery with a caliber of 75 mm or above and dozens of tanks and vehicles form a joint offensive. There are also fire support like small bombers like F4U in the sky. Just hearing about it can make people crazy.

It can be said that Chen Jize consumed more artillery shells every day than the maximum preparation of a regiment of the Japanese army. The Japanese deployed five regiments in the south. Even though they tried their best, they could not stop the pace of the only brigade, but instead caused losses to their own side.

Disastrous, the exchange ratio reached an astonishing 1:5.

If it weren't for the fear that the logistics would not be able to keep up with the pace of advancement, Chen Jize would have led his troops to the city of Myitkyina. Even because the Japanese have recently launched small groups of troops to penetrate the rear to carry out suicide attacks, he did not dare to be careless. The entire brigade

Slowly and steadily the little devil was forced to do nothing.

Through this period of fighting, the second and third regiments became more and more proficient in infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination, and Chen Jize became more and more familiar with this fire coverage style of play.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can use tactics to intersect, but if you are rich, you can crush it with firepower. If you can suppress all-round firepower, who would be willing to sacrifice more lives? The current high-profile record and dazzling exchange ratio are the best proof.

However, he was relieved, but some people were exhausted. The two transport groups almost tried their best to provide material support for them, but they could only meet the daily consumption of the front line.

The points in the system have been shrinking in the past few days, and the rapid consumption of ammunition has driven Liao Mingyu almost crazy. The batch of ammunition he just redeemed was gone in two days, and then the prodigal began to confidently ask for money.

There are transport planes flying between Nankan and Kunming every day. If Chennault and Smith hadn't provided him with faster transshipment efficiency, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the terrifying consumption rate like running water.

It is good to take the route of equipping elite troops, but at the same time, you have to bear the price. This made Liao Mingyu lament the strength of the U.S. military's logistics. It is almost too much for him to have only 10,000 troops, while others have millions of troops.

Not only can it ensure the supply of ammunition, but it can also allow soldiers on the front line to drink Coke, which is fucking outrageous.

…

Three days later, Liao Mingyu finally arrived at the frontline position of the One Brigade, which was still twelve kilometers away from Myitkyina. The only Japanese troops in front were two unsatisfied regiments. As long as they broke through, they would basically be able to complete the battle with the troops stationed in India.

The armies join forces.

Chen Jize divided his troops into two groups and attacked the enemy in two directions, forcing the Japanese army to extend the front and fight on both sides. In addition, the main force of the first regiment led by Kaname was marching towards Myitkyina Station. All routes to the south had been blocked.

Be strict.

The British wanted to express themselves well and wash away the shame left by the Cajon Valley. For this reason, Brigadier General Campbell gave up his plan to return to India and led part of the British 36th Brigade to follow Kaoma and them to the Myitkyina Southwest Railway Station.

Although I have doubts about the combat effectiveness of that group of men, under this excellent strategic situation, as long as I don't be stupid and follow the first group to pick up the slack, there is still no problem.

There are the 71st Army and the 2nd Army of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force in the east, and the 38th and 22nd Divisions of the Indian Army in the north, and the US Army Mai Detachment... The three armies have completely surrounded Myitkyina, and it is the only retreat in the southwest... the railway.

The route was also blocked by the First Regiment.

In the following days, the two sides once again fought fiercely. The continuous battles caused the Japanese to suffer huge losses. Countless soldiers were killed and injured every day, and several lines of defense were also in danger.

Especially in the north and south directions, they were unable to stop the enemy's advance. Even with three divisions and tens of thousands of troops, they could not withstand the ruthless trampling of aircraft and tanks.

Shojiro Iida, the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army in the Northern Myanmar Theater, was desperate. He clearly realized that Myitkyina had reached a life-and-death situation. He deployed five divisions to defend northern Myanmar, but he still could not change the corrupt and collapsed war situation.

If we include the 18 and 56 divisions that were first wiped out in western Yunnan, China, the battle damage figure of the entire Northern Burma Front has reached a very terrifying figure.
