"General!" Stilwell quickly knocked on the door of Weville's office, and he shouted at Weville almost proudly: "We can't let you transfer supplies to African states!"

Weiville looked at Stilwell with confusion and said, "Joe..."

"Because the Chinese still stick to Myitkyina to fight the Japanese army!" Stilwell interrupted Weiville's words.

"What?" Weiweier looked disbelief: "The Chinese are still in Myitkyina? It's impossible. Even if there are Chinese in Myitkyina, it's just a small army that is not as good as the climate..."

"No, that's the Fifth Army!" Stilwell interrupted Weiville's words: "There are more than 40,000 people in total, and they have built a solid line of defense in the Myitkyina area!"

Weiville opened his mouth wide and after a while he said, "Joe, you should verify your news!"

"This is not wrong!" Stilwell was very happy to see Wavell's surprise and surprise. He nodded with certainty: "I have even contacted Chongqing and confirmed this!"

Weiville's face changed again and again. At this time, he believed in the reliability of this information. The British side did not know that it was just because the British army had withdrawn from Myanmar and there were very few connections with China. The United States is different. The United States is now the main source of Chinese foreign aid, and China will tell the United States about the situation as soon as possible.

Wavell wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Stilwell.

"God of General!" Stilwell pushed the glasses on his nose: "You should be clear that the ambitions of the Japanese are not only Myanmar, but I have also received reliable news that the Japanese have contacted the independent forces of India. It is obvious that they are still using the same old tricks, just like using the Burmese to overthrow your rule. If the situation develops like Myanmar, it is probably not what the general or even London wants to see. However, if the Chinese defend in Myitkyina, then all this is very likely not to happen! What does the General think?"

After being silent for a long time, Weiville nodded unwillingly in agreement.

Weiville knew that even if he opposed it, it would be useless because the materials belonged to Americans. In addition, Britain needs American assistance now and in the future, so Britain cannot change any strategies that are in line with the interests of the United States. It must even cater to these strategies, otherwise it will be countered by the United States in terms of materials.

At present, it is in the interests of the United States to support Myitkyina, because it would drag a considerable number of Japanese aircraft, tanks, cannons, and infantry to Myanmar and cannot be transferred to the Pacific battlefield.

It’s all the fault of those damn Chinese! Weiville couldn’t help but curse in his heart: Why do they have to keep Myitkyina?!

*******

When it was bright the next day, Sakurai Shizuo was shocked to find that the Chinese who were just chasing by the Japanese army had built an almost indestructible line of defense based on the favorable terrain in Myitkyina and nearby.

Under the telescope, the Myitkyina that Sakurai Satomi saw was only a small flat land on the northwest side for the troops to spread. The rest of the direction was either mountains or rivers surrounded. Due to his decades of fighting on the battlefield, it was difficult to find a suitable breakthrough.

Sakurai Shizuo silently put down the telescope, looking very serious.

After thinking about it, Sakurai Shizuo said to the staff officer beside him: "Report the situation to the Commander-in-Chief! As detailed as possible!"

"Yes!" The staff officer turned around and went to send a telegram.

When Kawabian Zhengsan received the telegram, he couldn't help but frown. If the Chinese in Myitkyina were just as they said in the previous information, it would not be fearful. He could have cut off the Myitkyina and the outside world as he had thought, and trapped them in it. But now it is an army, and it is a Fifth Army with very strong combat power... It would be a headache for the Japanese army.

First of all, there were a lot of supplies in Myitkyina, which were enough for the Chinese army to fight for several months. On the contrary, the Japanese army was once again in a shortage of supplies because the supplies from Lashio were burned out by fire... Of course, there were also a lot of supplies seized along the way, but it was still not enough for the four Japanese divisions.

Secondly, Britain and the United States will never sit idly by and ignore the Japanese attack on Myitkyina. Even for the sake of the interests of Britain and the United States, they will support the Chinese in Myitkyina.

The result of this is that in the end, the Japanese army may not be able to hold on or be in a stalemate with the Chinese army.

In this case, if the Japanese army attacked China or India on the east and west sides from Myanmar, the Chinese army located in Myitkyina could almost say that they could cut off the supply line and retreat route of the Japanese offensive troops by just one step forward.

Hebang Zhengsan paced back and forth at his desk for a few steps, and then issued an order: "Take the Myitkyina while the Chinese army has not yet established a firm foothold!"

This order immediately put Myitkyina in the atmosphere of war again.

Moreover, part of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army had arrived in Myitkyina at this time and confronted the New 22nd Division on the other side of the Inowaddy River. The Japanese command of the army in the Myitkyina direction was quickly transferred to the hands of Ryoya Mutaguchi.

Speaking of Mutaguchi Ryo, he was a famous general. Not only was this name very familiar to the Japanese army, but even the Chinese army and even the Chinese people knew it because he fired the first shot of the July 7 Incident and then participated in the battle to attack Shanghai and Nanjing. It can be said to be one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre.

The 18th Division under its jurisdiction is also an ace unit of the Japanese army. It can even be said to be the most elite unit among the four Japanese divisions in Myanmar. Its combat effectiveness is even higher than that of the 56th Division, known as the "King of Jungle Warfare".

Just a few months ago (December 1941), the 18th Division forced a 100,000 coalition troops to force a miracle in the battlefield of Singapore, known as the "No. 1 Fortress in the Far East" by the coalition forces, creating a miracle in military history.

Because Mutaguchi Ryokeng has always admired Genghis Khan... In fact, many generals in the Japanese army were Genghis Khan's fans. The reason was that Genghis Khan had successfully conquered the entire territory of China from north to south, so many Japanese generals devoted themselves to studying Genghis Khan's tactics. It can even be said that the Japanese invasion of China was very similar to the Mongolian invasion of the Central Plains. For example, the attack direction at the beginning was from north to south (Note: This was turned by Chiang Kai-shek in the Battle of Shanghai to east to west). For example, when the Japanese invaded China, the puppet regime established a puppet regime to use the Chinese to attack the Chinese. The Mongols also did this back then. For example, the interspersed encirclement tactics are simply the signature tactics of Mongolian cavalry.
