Sato's troops were frowning about the difficulty in determining the whereabouts of the Rangers, cooperating with the attack of the Expeditionary Force in India in the Hukang Valley in the front, and the Rangers scattered in the wide area began a harassment battle on all sides. The Japanese vehicles, outposts, warehouses, and strongholds were almost all harassed and attacked on small-scale, and American bombers bombed important Japanese locations under the instructions of the Rangers. Each team fully implemented Wu Ming's intentions and beat them in pieces. Although the results were not great, they caused great trouble and chaos to the rear of the Japanese army. In particular, the transportation and supplies of ammunition and grain were transported and supplies, without heavy guards and no engineers to open the way, so they did not dare to transport them at all. Even so, they should be careful of sudden aircraft bombing.

The 18th Division of the Japanese army fighting in the Hukang Valley was very strong and occupied the advantage of terrain. Many places had fortifications. However, due to the wide defense area and the dispersed forces, many weaknesses were formed, and they were at a disadvantage in firepower. Even so, due to the tenacity of the Japanese army, the front-line troops stationed in the Indian army first used artillery firepower in the rear, concentrated and violent bombardment, and then launched a charge. If they failed once, they retreated and then carried out a second bombardment. The enemy's solid deep positions sometimes had to be captured after repeated bombardment and multiple charges.

The 18th Division of the Japanese army failed in the first battle. After retreating from the Daro and Taibaijia, they changed to defensive deployment, and the 55th and 56th Regiments were arranged in the Mengguan and Varuban areas. The two places were about 12 kilometers apart in front and behind. The 18th Division released a map to lure the Chinese army to attack the fortifications. Mengguan, where the division headquarters was located, was located, and the main force surrounded the Chinese army from the right wing to attack Mengguan and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

The victory of the Daluo-Taibaijia battle allowed the Chinese army stationed in India to gain a firm foothold in Myanmar and opened up a path to attack in depth. The new 22nd Division, which was trained, was equipped with the heavy artillery regiment and chariot battalion of the army, attacked Mengguan, and used the new 38th Division 112 and 113 to cover the left back of the 222.

After the battle began, the New 38th Division intercepted the Japanese detour troops on the south bank of the Dabi River to fight hard in Mengguan for a week. He suffered heavy casualties and could not advance in an instant. After Sun Liren learned of the dilemma of Xin 22, he decided to stay 112 to fight with the Japanese army in the Dabi River, and divided the 113 roundabouts to attack the Japanese key points behind Mengguan. The 113 arrived in Varuban on March 5, surrounded him and launched an attack. On March 1, the US 5307th Army Commando arrived in the northeast of Varuban, and then launched an attack on the Japanese army and occupied the northern and southern river ferry of its side.

After the Japanese army found that its rear was cut off, except for a few troops to resist in Mengguan, they concentrated all their strength to launch a counterattack against Varuban. The US 5307th Army Commando, with the support of the new 38113, had already detoured here, launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The report that the rear route was cut off by the Chinese army was spread to Mengguan on the same day. The Japanese army was in chaos. The new 22nd Division took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. The chariot battalion broke out in one fell swoop>:: Line, on the 34th, Xin

The 22nd Division conquered Mengguan, at noon 38. The 113th Regiment of the 38th, the chariot battalion and the US Lagahad commando launched an attack on Varuban. On the 9th, Varuban was occupied and annihilated part of the 18th Division of the Japanese army. At this point, the Battle of Hukang Valley ended with the victory of the military stationed in India, and the Battle of Menggong Valley began again. The three key points of the Kazakh League, Monggong, and Myitkyina were presented to the senior generals of Stilwell and other Indian troops.

The Menggong River Valley is a general term for valleys along the west bank of the Menggong River, with a long and narrow terrain. The Menggong River (also known as Gaojiang) is south of Italy. The boat can sail to Bamo, the railway from Menggong east to Myitkyna, and the west passes through Kasa to Yangon, and the highway can reach Daka League. Menggong City is located in the center of water and land transportation, holding the hub of northern Myanmar transportation. Menggong is a corner with Myitkyna and Kajia League, and is an important military center in northern Myanmar.

In order to prevent the Chinese army stationed in India from advancing south and ensure northern Myanmar, the Japanese army was good at jungle warfare and with the remnants of the 55th and 56th infantry rebels of the 18th Division, the 114th Regiment, the 21st Field Heavy Artillery Battalion, the Independent 13th Artillery Battalion and other troops as the basics, and transferred the 146th Regiment (under 1 brigade) commanded by Colonel Sojiro Imaoka, and transferred the 2nd Regiment in early 5 months.

The 4th Regiment commanded by Colonel Se and the 2nd Artillery Team directly under the division were transferred to the main force of the 126th Regiment commanded by Colonel Hiroji Okada of the 53rd Regiment and the 151st Regiment commanded by Colonel Kojiro Hashimoto to reinforce Meng Shida, and more than 1,000 new recruits were allocated from Kurumi and Himeji Division management areas, and no combat experience. The original soldiers' physical strength has also decreased due to long-term combat. However, compared with other troops, the 18th Division has quality.

Liang, calm in response to the battle, able to hold his position and shoot accurately. In the Japanese army, soldiers praised themselves.

"Did this old American guy drink too much?" Wu Ming frowned and threw the telegram aside. "He actually asked us to concentrate our efforts to seize Myitkyina Airport, and then the Allies immediately transport heavy weapons, food, bullets and reinforcements from the air to surprise Myitkyina."

"Myrizkyina is a strategic location that must be fought for in and out of Myrizkyina. According to our reconnaissance and judgment over the past few days, there were about 3,000 people defending Myrizkyina. Did Stilwell issue such an order if he was not sure about the enemy's situation?" Xiao Minghua said thinking: "In addition, the troops stationed in India attacked Menggong and the Kazakhstan alliance was very slow, so they thought of a surprise attack on Myrizkyina and a roundabout attack."

Wu Ming pondered for a while, "Record, there are about 3,000 Myitkyina defenders. Our team is unable to seize the airport. Even if they can successfully attack successfully, they cannot hold on to the Japanese army in the city. If they want to succeed in the action, please form an Myitkyina contingent, advance secretly from the mountain road, and seize the Myitkyina airport. Our team can closely cooperate with the action and strive to end the battle in northern Myanmar before the rainy season arrives."

"Before capturing Myitkyina Airport, should we settle the annoying Japanese search team?" Xiao Minghua asked with his head raised.

Wu Ming smiled coldly, "The Japanese army's defense line is too long and its troops are already in short supply. Now the only search team has worked hard to find us these days. It's time for us to show up and express our opinions." After a pause, he continued, "Send a report to the second team and the third team, telling them to gather quickly and then set off to the scheduled location. Don't attract the attention of the Japanese. We are ready to fight a big battle."

In the vast jungle, Sato was covered in sloppy and had a thick breath on his nose, holding a ball of anger in his arms in the enemy camp directed by the plane reconnaissance, and looked angrily at the corpses of two Japanese soldiers who were stuck in blood because they fell into a trap.

"Send a telegram!" Sato took a long time to withdraw his vicious gaze and said to the staff officer beside him: "Bai Yi led his troops to pursue the Chinese Rangers for many days, but the camps of the Chinese Rangers indicated by the reconnaissance aircraft were mostly false. The search team's land was not much food, and it was difficult to replenish in the jungle. In addition, the hot weather, the soldiers marched continuously, and the soldiers suffered a lot of heatstroke, which caused a sharp decline in morale. In addition, the mines and traps arranged by the Chinese Rangers have been causing non-combat reductions to the Imperial Army! If the traces of the Chinese Rangers cannot be accurately and quickly determined, our generals have to temporarily stop chasing and request to return to Myitkyina to replenish supplies, restore morale, and fight again!"

Two hours later, Sato received a telegram from the Supreme Commander in Myitkyina.

"Meng Gong, the Kazakhstan Alliance is in fierce battle. If the rear is unstable, it will affect the supply of ammunition and food, and the situation in northern Myanmar will worsen. You guys! Take a step back and lose all the money, and the success will be completed! According to investigation, the enemies that are harassing and attacking in various places are small Chinese troops. After careful analysis, the headquarters concluded that these are all suspicious soldiers. The main force of the Chinese side should be not far from your troops. Combined with the air force's reconnaissance for several days, they are fleeing westward. Although the hunters are tired, the prey that fled desperately is exhausted. You must use perseverance and thunder to annihilate the main force of the Chinese side in one fell swoop, and then divide the troops to sweep them to completely stabilize the rear. The food, fodder and supplies required by your soldiers will be replenished by air transport! I hope you will not let down the favor of His Majesty the Emperor and defil the glory of the empire!"

After a while, Sato tore up the telegram like crazy and shouted to the staff officer beside him: "Set up an airdrop immediately, and continue to pursue the Chinese Rangers after the replenishment."

From Myitkyina to Menggong, the railway from the Khazan League was bombed again. With Menggong, the fierce battle between the Khazan League became more and more intense, and the Japanese hatred and fear of the various forces became stronger and stronger. The rear was unstable. How to fully support the Battle of Menggong? If Menggong and Kazuna lost their horns, Myitzan would lose their horns and be far from falling. When the commander of the Japanese Myitzan Expeditionary Army visited Myitzan in person to inspect defense, he instructed: The key to the victory or defeat of the Japanese army was determined by whether the Sino-Indian highway could be stopped, especially the gains and losses of Myitzan. The responsibility is so serious that the Myitzan Command issued a death order to eliminate the enemy army that had penetrated into its heart.

In war, the change in the commander's emotions has a great relationship with the advance, retreat, victory or defeat of the army. The commander's impulse is either calm, timid or reckless, and often determines the changes in the course of the war and the fate of countless officers and soldiers in a flash.
