The next morning, the troops arrived at Yukou.

After a little rest, the soldiers launched an attack on the Japanese army in Yukou... Of course, this attack was to use American tactics, using a large number of shells to blow up several high grounds to the sky, and then the soldiers rushed to the high ground with rifles, and took back several high grounds without much effort.

This made Pete a little confused: "Zhang...will we make a mistake? Is this really a plea?!"

Zhang Chi looked at the map, compared the surrounding terrain, and replied with certainty: "Yes, this is just yelling!"

"But..." Peter said skeptical: "There are not many Japanese here and they are not strong in combat. How could they trap Galahad's troops? It's impossible, it must be a mistake!"

Zhang Chi just smiled and didn't say anything.

Pete still didn't believe it, and asked over and over again on the walkie-phone whether the information was wrong, until news came from the front that the US military had been rescued.

"Oh my God!" Peter couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the team of American soldiers who were very embarrassed and walked up with glory, "It's really them, I can't believe it..."

The Chinese army stopped chasing Yukou, because the main reason was that the Chinese army was short of troops at this time, with only one division of more than 10,000 people. This force was already very scattered for dozens of kilometers in the jungle. If it moves forward, it is very likely to be divided and surrounded by other Japanese troops.

On the other hand, the strategic goal of this battle is to occupy Lingbang and build it as a base for future counterattacks. This goal has been achieved, and future wars can be planned slowly.

So the Battle of Lingbang ended here, and the Expeditionary Force annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese troops at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties.

Although the casualties of the Expeditionary Force were not large, the company commander's sacrifice rate was astonishingly high. There were 54 company commanders who died in total, and almost every company's company commander died twice... This is inseparable from the fact that the Japanese scattered soldiers always hid in the trees and took special measures to pick Chinese officers.

From this point of view, it is really lucky that Zhang Chi, the company commander, can survive until now.

This battle seems to almost draw a conclusion: the Chinese army with American equipment no longer has to tie the Japanese army with five or even ten times the strength as before, but can confront the Japanese army head-on and defeat them one-on-one. Moreover, the opponent is the elite division of the Japanese army.

So Stilwell's headquarters became lively, and congratulatory messages from all over the world flew to his desk like snowflakes, but Stilwell was a little amused... because there was a part that made him embarrassed in this battle, that was, he originally wanted the Galahad troops to go up to fight a beautiful performance battle. Unexpectedly, it made a big joke.

This result made Stilwell feel that the next training work is difficult to carry out... The facts on the battlefield seem to be different from what the American instructors required in Sun Brabing's training, which further intensified the contradiction between American instructors and Chinese officers: American instructors believe that the practices of Chinese officers do not conform to military theory, while Chinese officers believe that American instructors are blindly commanding, especially the siege of Galahad's troops has become a clear proof of the statement that Chinese officers have made.

But now he has won the battle after all, and actual combat has proved that the Chinese army trained in this way has combat effectiveness beyond imagination. So Stilwell decided to continue training like this. As for the disagreement between US and Chinese officers, it was just a small flaw.

What Stilwell hopes is that the US military and US military instructors can perform better in the next battle, otherwise he really doesn't know if there is any reason for the US instructor to command this force.

The most shocking thing to this battle was the Japanese army.

When the news reached the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Front, He Bian San, who was shocked: A Chinese division can defeat the two corpses of the 18th Division?!

You should know that at this time, the Japanese army had five divisions in Myanmar: the 55th Division was responsible for the defense in southern Myanmar and was deployed in the Ajip area at the southern end of the India-Myanmar border line, which was to prevent the British army from launching landing offensives from sea or attacking eastward along the coast; the 33rd Division was responsible for the defense in Myanmar and was deployed in the area west of Mandalay to fight against the British army in the direction of Impal; the 56th Division and the 18th Division were deployed in northern Myanmar to guard against the attacks in China's Myitkyina defense line and China's Yunnan direction.

There was no problem with this deployment. The Chinese army on the Myitkyina defense line had about 50,000 people, and it was more than enough to defend with an elite 18th Division of more than 20,000 people.

But now, the Chinese army of one division can repel two corpses of the 18th Division, and then another division's Chinese army means that it can defeat the entire 18th Division... After all, the 50,000 Chinese troops have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in Myanmar, not to mention that the Chinese army is still increasing!

Thinking of this, Masato Kawabata couldn't help but gasp. He suddenly realized that he had too few troops in his hands. The Chinese, Americans, and British people had the strength to eat them all in one bite... The reason why they don't do this now is probably because of the British side.

Hebian Zhengsan guessed this correctly. In fact, this was not what Hebian Zhengsan guessed, but the Japanese spies stationed in India were able to detect the British's movements. Knowing that the British were not very interested in counterattacking Myanmar, they also deliberately obstructed them.

Even the Chinese side's **** had no intention of counterattacking Myanmar.

This is also true. This is not to say that ******* is unwilling to open up the China-Myanmar Highway to get a large number of U.S. aid, but ******* knows that the price of getting more U.S. aid is likely to have to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in the 29 divisions located in China... This is the fundamental interest of the United States in supporting China. The United States hopes that the more Japanese troops China can consume, the better. So in this regard, ********** would rather not open the China-Myanmar Highway to be opened, so he would drag the war to wait for the Americans to defeat the Japanese army or the Japanese army to transfer more troops from the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific battlefield.

This is of course good news for the Japanese army, but the riverside Zheng San is clearer that on the battlefield, you should never place your life and death on the enemy and luck.

"Great General!" The chief of staff next to him looked at the riverside Masazo who was worried and mournful, and persuaded: "I think the defeat of the 18th Division this time cannot be said to be that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is comparable to that of our great Japanese Imperial Army!"

"What do you think of Murakami?" Kawabata asked three times.

"I think..." The Chief of Staff calmed down and said: "This battle is not defeated by the imperial army and combat effectiveness, but by supply!"

"Yes!" Zheng San nodded slowly.

This is obvious. The Chinese army has strong U.S. aid materials as a backing, while the Japanese army is hungry and grabs a few pitiful bullets in their hands...

Therefore, you should work hard on replenishing supplies in the future!

But...how can I get supplies quickly?
