As the Japanese offensive declined, the defense line of our expeditionary force gradually stabilized. As the saying goes, "There are sorrows in joy. The Japanese commander Mutaguchi Ryokawa saw that the defense line of the expeditionary force was difficult to break through in a short period of time, so he ordered the air force to launch a fierce air strike on our transportation line, which forced my logistics into trouble. In less than two days, the railway line from the Lashio to the front line of the Expeditionary Force was cut off, and important bridges along the way were all blown up.

Since the railway line cannot play a role, Toshiba, the logistics supply of the Naoqiu and even the Madeya line depends entirely on the transport troops. In addition to the interference of Japanese bombers, the logistics supply of our front-line troops has been difficult. The transportation team has to handle both transporting ammunition and food to the front line, which is difficult to take into account both. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient ammunition on the front line, so there is difficulty in eating for the front line.

Although the US military proposed to send a large number of transport aircraft from India to airdrop to support combat materials, it is difficult to quench near-term thirst, and the US military organized a large number of transport aircraft, so it takes time to raise funds, so it has to solve the temporary difficulties on its own when facing temporary difficulties. Fortunately, the First Army of the Expeditionary Force has accumulated rich experience after nearly a year of jungle training, especially survival in the wild. As the first army commander of the army, Tan Zhen, is not worried about the temporary difficulties in front of him.

At present, the Japanese army in the Salwin River, Toshiba, and the front of the pyramid, gradually depleted its offensive and its defensive pressure decreased sharply. Faced with the problems of logistics supply, Tan Zhen asked the entire army to solve the problem of eating in the battalions. There is no doubt that everything that can be eaten in the defense line has become the targets of hunting for the entire army, especially wild animals have become delicious food for officers and soldiers, and these unlucky animals have suffered.

The sunshine in early September is still vicious, the rainy season in Myanmar is coming to an end, and the dry season is approaching. Today is a good weather, and Tan Zhen led dozens of military personnel and combat staff, including dozens of people, including military personnel and combat staff, to appear in a dense forest. At this time, Tan Zhen was holding a double-barrel hunting rifle in his hand, looking for prey with great enthusiasm.

This hunting rifle was obtained in Tonggu and left by the British army. The gun was made in Germany. The military guard commander first obtained the gun, but later he was discovered by Tan Zhen and forced to take it for himself. He liked this hunting rifle very much. He had no time to fiddle with the hunting rifle during battles, and then he finally had a place to use it.

Several staff members explored the way in front and made a move. Suddenly, two pheasants flew up, and Tan Zhen fired a gun quickly. Within an hour, the two pheasants fell from a low altitude. "Haha! We can have a pheasant banquet tonight. The chief of staff, we have not had a drink for a long time. We will have a good time today!" After Tan Zhen said that, he sat under a tree to rest, while fiddling with his beloved hunting rifle, his excited expression was exposed.

Chief of Staff Su Yu said: "Chief! It's rare to have leisure time, but these pheasants will suffer, and maybe even pheasants will be extinct." "Extraordinary period, we can't control many of them now. Now we have the only choice to have enough food." "Military! I caught a big snake!" A combat staff member came to the front and put a cloth bag in front of Tan Zhen and said excitedly.

Tan Zhen saw the staff officer opening the bag, and there was indeed a long green snake inside and said, "This snake is poisonous!" The staff officer replied, "Military! As long as you remove the snake's head, it will be no longer poisonous." "Okay! There will be both chicken banquets and snake banquets tonight. We must do a good job of tooth-bearing sacrifice. But be careful to catch snakes and be careful of being bitten by snakes. I heard that snakes in Myanmar are very venomous."

The frontier position, the First Regiment Head, Zhai Biao, the leader of the regiment, said: "The military commander ordered all departments to solve the rations of only half of the daily life, so that we can save the shortage, and let us find ways to find the shortcomings. We don't even have a forest in the defense area. It seems that the only way is to find wild vegetables. Think about what other good solutions are there?"

At this time, a combat staff officer said: "Captain! There is a lake about 2 kilometers north of us. Why don't we make a fuss about it?" "Yes! We can fish!" The chief of staff said excitedly. The regiment commander Zhai Biao thought it was a good idea and immediately organized people to go to the lake. On that day, they salvaged more than 2,000 kilograms of fish, and the officers and soldiers of the regiment had a full fish banquet.

In a few days, the Eight Immortals of each division crossed the sea and showed their abilities. The officers and soldiers not only solved the problem of eating, but also tasted the rare delicacies of wild animals in various ways. Due to the pressure of logistics, the Japanese army also had a hard time. Therefore, the Japanese army stopped offensives across the board on September 12. The occasional artillery fired in front of both sides showed their respective existences.

The 4th Division of Jingdong was also facing the dilemma of logistics supply, and the phone calls from each brigade almost knocked out the division headquarters. "It's outrageous. Everyone asked me for food. Where can I find food for them? The headquarters told me that the air support of the US military will be delayed to about the 20th. During this period, the headquarters asked us to find a way for ourselves. Tell me, what good ways can we overcome the difficulties in front of us." Dai Anlan said helplessly with a bandage wrapped in his arm.

Entering the second phase of the battle, due to the heavy losses of the Japanese 245th Division and no offense, Dai'anlan's unit was under defensive pressure. At the beginning, the transportation troops could meet the logistics supply, but after the Japanese army paralyzed the railway line, the transportation troops responsible for the logistics supply of their division had to divide their troops to support other directions, so there was a problem with the logistics supply of the entire division.

In addition, Dai Anlan's troops, including the Second Army, did not have the time to conduct jungle combat training, and their means of survival in the wild were almost Bai Ding. Seeing the helpless look of the division, the chief of staff suddenly lit up and said, "Teacher! The 16th Regiment of the 2nd Division is still at our defense line to assist in defense. Have you noticed that they have never called the division headquarters to ask for supplies. How did they solve it?"

Dai Anlan was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Come in the 16th Regiment!" About an hour later, the big commander of the 16th Regiment came in quickly: "Report the division seat! The commander of the 16th Regiment of the 2nd Division came to report, please give me instructions!" Dai Anlan replied to the military salute and said, "There is no major military information. There is currently a problem with logistics supply. The whole division asked me for supplies, but your headquarters did not ask. I want to know how you solved it?"

The big leader laughed and said, "The report division seat, before our troops entered Myanmar, we conducted a year-long jungle and field combat training in Daba Mountain. Especially when the troops were facing logistics difficulties, we had many emergency measures to deal with the survival of the wild. For this reason, we conducted targeted drills, so we solved the logistics supply in a short time and accumulated rich experience."

Then the big regiment commander revealed several problems of how to solve logistics supply. Dai Anlan sighed and immediately asked the combat staff to record the key points of the wild survival explained by the big regiment commander in detail. At the same time, he ordered the entire division to quickly solve the logistics supply problem according to this method. Invisibly, Dai Anlan's unit conducted a real drill for outdoor survival training, which played an immeasurable role in his later expeditionary operations.

In the middle school in September, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army landed in Thailand. The Japanese commander intended to strengthen the offensive on the Eastern Front. At the same time, Sun Liren's new 7th Division of the US Armor entered Myanmar, two of which were transferred to the Jingdong and Salwin River front lines, and the other brigade went to Du Yuming's army to strengthen the defense. After the Japanese army launched several offensives, they found that our troops were increasing. The Japanese commander had to order the entire line to stop the offensive.

On the night of September 20, the US military's transport plane finally launched a large-scale airdrop. In the Linxi 3rd Division headquarters, the division commander Chen Yi led the generals to stand on the edge of an open land. At this time, a bonfire was lit in the wilderness, which looked very bright on the dark night. Many officers and soldiers were busy, constantly igniting the bonfire.

"Terminal Commander! The commander called! The transport plane arrived at about 9 o'clock, so let us be prepared for the reception!" A combat staff member handed the telegram to Chen Yi. Chen Yi read the telegram by flashlight and said: "Order the troops to prepare for the reception and airdrop, and notify the brigades to deliver the feed to the soldiers as quickly as possible. The wild vegetables these days have made people feel nauseous, and we will have a good meal tonight."

The Chief of Staff said excitedly: "The Americans are so rich and powerful that they actually used hundreds of transport aircraft to airdrop on a large scale. It's unimaginable." Chen Yi agreed: "Modern war is about logistics. Without strong logistics support, large-scale combat is just empty talk. I believe that as my subsequent troops and US Air Force forces participate in the war, we will launch a counterattack next year."

The Chief of Staff said: "Look at the large units of the new 7th Division, all American carbines are very luxurious. If there is no logistics guarantee, the consumption of ammunition will be astronomical." Chen Yi said: "The firepower of American equipment is fierce, the attack can be done, and the defense operations are not as good as our semi-automatic weapons. In fact, I am more optimistic about our standard weapons. However, American equipment will play a role in close combat and urban attacks."

Suddenly, a roar came from a distance, "Here! Come, the US transport plane is here!" Someone shouted excitedly, and everyone looked up at the starry night sky, excitedly looking. With the roar deafening sound, hundreds of US transport planes appeared in the sky. Then the US transport plane discovered the bonfire sign below and began to lower the altitude airdrop.

After a while, dense parachutes appeared in the sky, and the parachute cargo was filled with fluorescent signs, which made it easier for the soldiers below to find their targets quickly. Countless parachutes were scattered in the sky like flowers scattered by the sky like meteor showers. About 40 minutes later, the US military's transport plane flew away, while the ground was even more busy.

The supplies dropped by the US military transport planes were mainly food, including compressed biscuits, canned beef, bubble gum and instant coffee. This night, the officers and soldiers were afraid that they could not fall asleep with excitement...

At the Chongqing Joint Command, General Eisenhower admired and said: "General Mu, Chinese soldiers are amazing. They can actually use wild vegetables to fill their hunger for several days. If our US troops have long collapsed. If our soldiers are hungry, the soldiers will rebel."

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "We are used to suffering, so we can suffer a lot in hardship. In addition, scientists concluded that yellow people have innate advantages over European and Americans. The ancestors of European and Americans ate meat, and our yellow people are vegetarians. Therefore, our intestines are longer than those of European and Americans and can absorb nutrients more fully, so yellow people can survive in a difficult environment." Eisenhower said in surprise: "General Mu, this is the first time I have heard your incisive remarks. Maybe what you said makes sense!"
