...The street fighting reached the most intense time. Although the Japanese Imperial Army, which faced the Chinese army bravely resisted for three days, relied on its military strength to take turns to rest and take uninterrupted attacks, which made the brave Japanese Imperial Army unable to get enough rest and become extremely tired... I would like to remind you that the attack of the Chinese army in the past three days seemed very well-organized, and its technical and tactical level became more and more proficient. In addition to the coordination of enemy aircraft and cannons, our defending troops had already fallen into hard battles. Especially in the Chinese army

The sharpshooter posed a huge threat to the imperial soldiers. The rubble-street streets, broken walls of buildings, broken pillars, burned cars and other obstacles provided them with countless shelter. They were like a group of hungry wolves peeking at the Imperial Army's positions day and night. They either shot and killed exposed imperial soldiers, called planes or artillery bombardment. At the front positions, the wounded could not transport them and supplies could not be transported. If reinforcements were not available, I don't know how long the Imperial soldiers could still hold on forever..."

————————————Excerpt from the battlefield diary of the Japanese commander Major General Hushang Ginzo

Starting from May 24, the battle to siege Myitkyina City officially started. The tactics proposed by Wu Ming, such as "eagle-killing attack", "blocking bombing", "lazy infiltration", "broken wall attack", and "sniper suppression" were readily adopted by Stilwell.

However, the Japanese army defending the city was not adapted to the new tactics adopted by the Indian army. Coupled with the successful early blockade, the number of Japanese troops in the city was at a disadvantage. Less than 2,000 defenders were tired of dealing with the uninterrupted attacks from all sides of the Indian army. Due to the lack of Japanese artillery fire, the snipers showed great glory in this siege. The soldiers who were good at gunpoint were trained by the various troops, scattered on various fronts after the short training of the various forces, were scattered on various fronts, causing great damage to the Japanese army.

Sniper activities themselves are not new. The German, Soviet, Japanese and American forces all did this during World War II. But as a main rather than auxiliary form of combat with a certain strategic action color, the Chinese army was the first to be founded in Myitkyina.

A light reconnaissance plane took off from Myitkyina Airport and circled and patrolled over Myitkyina City. The attack continued, and balls of explosive fireballs rose from time to time on the ground. Smoke filled the air.

"Although the Japanese army is already very tired, their combat effectiveness and fighting will are so tenacious that it is disgusting." Brigadier General Mir pointed to the ground and said with some disgust: "However, according to the front-line attacking troops, the Japanese army is constantly weak, especially the daytime activities of the entire line, and is basically controlled by our army's snipers and aircraft cannons. Now the Japanese devils are huddled in fortifications, and even urinating and defecating are solved, and put them in canned boxes to throw out fortifications." As he said that, Brigadier Mir couldn't help laughing.

"The way of playing works very well. Unfortunately, we don't have much time." Stilwell frowned slightly, "The rainy season is coming soon, and our supplies may be...

"General, the command center is dissatisfied with the slow progress of the main attack. Commanders at all levels of the troops believe that the command center's orders are unreasonable and that the troops will suffer too much casualties." Wu Ming carefully said slowly: "At most, one more week, the Japanese army will be dragged down by our army's eagle-killing tactics. At that time, they have no other choice except to shrink their troops, reduce the attack surface, or change the focus of defense. The rainy season is here, and the Japanese army will also face the difficulties faced by our army. Now is the time to compete for will. I hope the general will not change the original strategic vision."

"Look, our army has broken into the city and established a solid foothold, and is infiltrating and eroding the Japanese positions accordingly." Wu Ming looked at the ground with war through the porthole, "Just wait a few more days, no matter how tough the Japanese army's body and spirit are, they will be broken. Haven't you also said that you don't want to win a heavy loss?"

"Liu, I understand your mood." Stilwell smiled bitterly, "I am not polite to the generals of the soldiers, but you should know that my land is under great pressure. Most of the aid supplies in China are used in Myanmar. Peanuts are already very dissatisfied with me. In order to relieve the pressure from Myanmar, Japan started the "No. 1" battle in China. Peanuts threatened to draw the main force of the army stationed in India back to China to participate in the war, so the Myitkyina war cannot be delayed for a long time."

Wu Ming was silent. Such political events affect military deployments are common in history. In order to achieve their goals, those big men will not consider the lives and death of soldiers. Wars will always serve politics. This is unquestionable.

"General, please give me seven days." Wu Ming said solemnly: "I want to re-form a combat plan, and in these days, I also ask the general to provide all the supplies I need. I want to train a parachute force in a short period of time."

Stilwell thought about it for a while and took a photo

Shoulder, "Don't take risks, you are a rare talent in the Chinese army. I will do my best to guarantee what you need."

………………………………………

"It has been ten days, and the Chinese army's offensive continues, but the reinforcements are nowhere to be seen." In the solid underground shelter, the Japanese commander, Major General Susanzang, was covered in blood in his eyes, his hair was messy like a pile of weeds, listening to the rumbling explosion outside, muttering to himself.

"Your Excellency, our army is already very tired." Chief of Staff Colonel Yoshimura advised cautiously: "I am really unable to defend such a wide front. The rice factory in Myitkyina City, football field, Catholic Church, Burmese temple and train repair shop have fallen one after another. Our army should shrink its defense line and move the defense focus from the city to the west of the highlands in the north of the city to hit the slope."

"The rainy season is coming." Major General Susan Yuanzang sighed: "The Chinese army's offensive is difficult to sustain, supplies are difficult to supply, and aircraft are difficult to take off and land. This is our opportunity. It is easy to shrink the defense line, but it is difficult to retake it again. Let's hold on for another two days!"

Colonel Yoshimura opened his mouth, shook his head, and sighed softly.

On the battlefield, the artillery shells of the Indian army poured on the Japanese positions like raindrops, and the violent explosion of flames dwarfed the gorgeous sunset.

For three days, every time it was almost sunset, the Indian army would attack fiercely, which seemed to be used to the Japanese army.

As soon as the shelling stopped, another group of US military aircraft appeared in the sky, roaring and throwing bombs densely. Many aircraft passed by at a very low altitude and violently bombed targets suspected to be Japanese fortifications.

During the bombing, taking advantage of the sunset that lost its color in the horizon, several large aircraft towed the glider and took off quietly and flew straight to Myitkyina.

After approaching the airborne area, the first batch of gliders escaped from the traction of the aircraft and entered a low-altitude gliding, landed near the Japanese command center on the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated.

It must be admitted that the Japanese's combat was brave and fast. As soon as they woke up, they immediately organized a strong counterattack. They surrounded them from all directions and wanted to annihilate the enemy troops that had suddenly landed in the air. Even several anti-aircraft machine guns that they dared not use from time to time and were reluctant to use were also pushed out of the bunker and shot desperately into the air.

The first batch of airborne troops faced the fierce attack of the Japanese army. Under the command of Tan Zheng, they tried their best to support them and wanted to protect the airdrop field, but they felt a little overwhelmed because of the small number of people. The second batch and the third batch of aircraft were evasive in the air under the attack of anti-aircraft artillery fire and were forced to hover over the airdrop field.

Suddenly, the plane that had already roared and circled around the sky suddenly pierced down against the fire net. At first, the Japanese thought it was hit, but before they could cheer for victory, the barrel under the belly of the machine emitted a blazing flame, causing sparks to splash on the ground and plants to fly.

The plane dragged the glider to a low altitude of nearly 300 meters. The Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun had almost leveled the fire, but it was still rushing down with a huge whistling sound. The glider's hatch suddenly opened, and paratroopers jumped down like lightning. At this time, the altitude of the plane was only 600 feet, 182.88, the lowest altitude of parachuting in history.

This was not like a parachuting, but more like a building jumping. Balls of snow-white flowers miraculously opened in the air. The Japanese guns and bullets left the plane and began to fire at the paratroopers. But it was too late. Because the parachuting height was too low and the descent speed was fast, the paratroopers just shook in the air and fell to the ground. Only a few paratroopers were hit by guns and blood spilled on the ground.

The Chinese created a miracle, and this miracle must affect the entire battle situation. Two groups of airborne troops fought hard and used signal flares to indicate targets to attack aircraft in the air. Finally, they repelled the counterattack Japanese army, expanded and stabilized the airdrop field, and set up signs for aircraft landing. The second and third batches of gliders began to land, firmly sealed the Japanese command and cut off its external contacts.

Wu Ming wiped the sweat from his head, finally let out a long sigh, and said to the liaison officer beside him: "Report to General Stilwell that the birds have successfully landed and can start the general attack."

Xiao Minghua limped over, "Boss, our team has begun to attack the Japanese command. What instructions do you have?"

"Implement as scheduled." Wu Ming nodded coldly, "With bombs and flamethrowers, we don't want to live, kill them all for me."
