The expeditionary force has a total of 300,000 people, all of whom are squadrons, the most experienced people, and Wang Hanzhang's 60,000 reserves, but Wang Hanzhang himself knows that there is no combat effectiveness, not only is the training insufficient, but the key officers are even more lacking, Wang Hanzhang means to take the door first as a reserve, if the front line needs to replenish the troops, they will be supplemented first, and they will be returned after the battle, then they will have experienced soldiers in combat, that is, let others be grateful to themselves, And let yourself be able to get excellent soldiers or officers, a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

The Japanese army in Burma has 230,000 troops, including 150,000 Japanese troops and 50,000 Thai troops, which are said to be the strongest fighting forces in Thailand. Even if these 30,000 Burmese independence troops are completely working for the devils, but their combat effectiveness is definitely not very good, but they are locals, and they will still bring a lot of harm to the expeditionary force.

Two divisions of the Japanese army are distributed on the Thai-Burmese border near Yunnan, and there are two other Thai divisions under the command of the Japanese army, with a total of more than 60,000 people.

The remaining 170,000 troops of the Japanese army were distributed in the vast area south of Pyinmana in Taungoo and south of Pimp, and the devil learned to be obedient and transferred all the Burmese Independence Army to the front line, and more than 20,000 people of the Thai army were also transferred to the front line, I don't know whether to hide something or what.

The squadron dropped a large number of leafless trees in the river in sections, so it was impossible to go down the river, but the Chinese expeditionary force also did not have any ships available, so they did not need it, but the Japanese had a large number of ships, but they could not use them either, and their boats could not go up at all.

The time when the Japanese army planned to attack was November 10, because since the naval battle, Japan's naval forces have lost too much, and there are almost no ships to replenish until now, although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but that is only for China, for the United States, for the vast Atlantic, Japan obviously feels the lack of naval strength, and the American army is attacking in the Pacific, so that Japan can not fully prepare for the Burma war. Therefore, the plan was also repeatedly delayed. It was not until the final decision was made on November 10 as the date for the attack.

On the Chinese side, because of the British, they always seized Chinese supplies, and in the early stage, the expeditionary force received American-style training and was familiar with the use of weapons, so there was no attack.

The arsenal in Sichuan has already begun to produce, coupled with the promise of the Americans, the most important thing is that a lot of materials have been accumulated at the beginning, in order to fight this war, all of them were taken out, Chiang Kai-shek let it go, and the food problem of the expeditionary force, Wang Hanzhang basically solved it, so the logistical pressure was much less, and what was shipped from China or from India was some dry food, canned food, biscuits and other things, and even Wang Hanzhang could provide some biscuits and the like.

There are many reasons why Wang Hanzhang did not keep these things, for a while the expeditionary force was born and died in Burma, and he would occupy the territory they fought in the future, and many of them would die in the war, so Wang Hanzhang wanted them to live a better life while they were alive.

The second reason is that if you start raising 300,000 people now, you won't feel a lot of pressure when Wang Hanzhang really has 300,000 horses. Wang Hanzhang is now relying on someone to support him, and he will exercise himself first. Otherwise, when Burma is taken, not only will the British be strictly guarded against, but also hundreds of thousands of troops will be raised, and he will have no experience and no talent under his hands, so there will definitely be no way to compete with the British, and later people will not have any advantage in this kind of thing, so Wang Hanzhang needs to do this. At the same time, it is used to train logistics soldiers who have always been professional.

Of course, there is still a little bit of selfishness, that is, if Lao Jiang wants to do it to himself in the future, he is now a little better to the expeditionary force, people may not be embarrassed, and if he hesitates, then Wang Hanzhang can get the news.

There is also a fourth point, which is to hope that in the future, there will be more people in the expeditionary force, so that the troops who can recruit and fight well, and take out one at random, it is ten times stronger than the recruits of Wang Hanzhang's army.

On November 6, 18942, 200 Chinese Air Force planes stationed in Burma took off at 5 o'clock in the morning, they wanted to destroy the devil's planes and ensure the safety of the sky, in order to be able to occupy a local advantage in the air, Wang Hanzhang also strongly asked Chiang Kai-shek to get the best propeller aircraft P51 Mustang fighters from the United States, originally wanted to order more, at least 50 planes, but the Americans refused to give it alive or dead.

Wang Hanzhang took the opportunity to speak ill of the Americans in front of Lao Chiang, saying that this aircraft was finalized at the end of 1941, and the Americans only gave it to the British, and only later did they feel that the performance was good, and they also equipped it themselves, and it is estimated that Soviet Russia also had it, and the Americans gave us 15 planes, and the British wanted as many as they wanted, and the Americans obviously looked down on China, and maybe the Yankees had already planned to defeat Japan and Germany and then attack us, so they were still ready to work hard to develop the military industry and kill the Americans in the vast mountains of China, if he dared to come.

Wang Hanzhang doesn't know if it's useful or not, but the words must be said, didn't the Yankees in history save and cut Outer Mongolia out of China, so the Americans don't seem to directly send troops to fight China, but what they do is more hurtful than directly hitting people.

However, although fifteen is a little less, this kind of aircraft is much stronger than the Zero, what Wang Hanzhang needs is to use him to deal with the devil's Zero aircraft, as for other planes P40, the kind of aircraft can still deal with.

In fact, Japan knew that the United States had a batch of advanced planes arriving in China, but they didn't care very much, because there were not many of them, and they didn't know where China would use them and when they would start using them, so the Japanese troops in Burma didn't pay much attention to it.

But for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, 15 such advanced aircraft, combined with the veteran pilots who had been fighting against Japan for many years, were quite lethal enough to change the battlefield in Burma.

The Chinese Air Force's operational plan is to be the first wave of devil air power to attack the devils in Myanmar and the Thai-Burmese border.

Although the Chinese Air Force has an air base in the front, but because the Chinese Air Force has always bombed the Japanese army, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the planes have not been stationed in Taikao, and now the two largest air bases in Myanmar are Longling and Myitkyina in western Yunnan, which are far away from the Japanese army, and the Chinese radar has enough time to warn to prevent the sneak attack of the devil's plane, or there are several devil's planes who want to sneak attack, and they are all being slapped by the Chinese Air Force, if there was a P51 at that time, It is estimated that there are few devils who can go back.

The Americans always put something better in China at the end, and that was to strike at Japan's strength. Just like the P51, Wang Hanzhang remembers that the history was only stationed in China in 1943, and the British had prepared a lot of them two years earlier.

The plane took off from Myitkyina and Longling, and was still informed by the hidden devil spies, but at the same time as he sent the report, the personnel of the anti-reconnaissance department finally caught these traitors at this moment. And for this moment, the Air Force always took a lot of risks to try, but every time these guys ran away, and these guys were very ghostly, they stayed in the city at first, and then they stayed directly outside, which made it much more difficult to counter-detect.

Japan's planes are mainly stationed at Yangon Airport and Mawlamyine Airport, and after the devil was bombed several times, he was also smart and no longer put the plane in front, especially at that time when Japan was fighting with the United States in the Pacific Ocean, and aircraft production could not keep up, so it paid special attention to the safety of the plane.

The first echelon of the Chinese Air Force bombed Mawlamyine, commanded by Dong Mingde, and they flew 9 P51s over, because the performance and range of germanium mine aircraft are incomparable to other aircraft, even if the Japanese aircraft in Bangkok come to entangle, with its excellent performance, it can not only cover the evacuation of other aircraft, but also will not suffer a big loss because of the break.

There were 45 fighters and bombers of all kinds of planes that bombed Mawlamyine, and they planned to destroy the devil's plane in one fell swoop, and if they could, destroy the devil's material base here.

The other team was led by Captain Liu Zhesheng, a total of 75 planes bombed Yangon, which was not only the main site of Japanese aircraft, but also a large number of Japanese supplies, and it was also the location of Yamashita Fengfumi's headquarters.

The Chinese air force arrived over Mawlamyine an hour and a half later, while another team also arrived over Yangon at the same time. At the same time, air forces stationed in Mandalay, Lashio and various parts of Myanmar took off.

Originally, it was better for all the planes to attack the Japanese army together, but one was that the target was too big, because the planes of the Chinese Air Force were too chaotic, there were German, Italian, Soviet Russian, and mainly American, but if there was a problem in a certain link, the devil was alert, and it would affect other bombing effects.

So they can only wait for the main target to be in hand before they can attack, and now that Yangon and Mawlamyine are close at hand, there will be no problems with their actions.

Wei Lihuang in Mandalay also received a telegram that he had annihilated more than 100,000 devils last time, and he still couldn't get enough of it, and he had long wanted to do a few more games, if he killed more devils in his hands than the rest of the country, it would be too face-saving, so Wei Lihuang has been planning to attack or defend how to eliminate more devils.

As for Wang Hanzhang, he also asked if there was any special way, but Wang Hanzhang didn't have it, after all, the war had not started, there was no way to judge the situation, and flooding and fire attacks also required a lot of conditions, and the Japanese were not so stupid, so once again the confrontation was the level of the commander, the combat effectiveness of the troops, morale, and other factors.
