No matter what you do, Feng Yi's Xitong is defending with heavy artillery, mortars and automatic fire, and the devils have left countless corpses nearby, and they have achieved nothing except to destroy the first line of positions in the south.

On the morning of the 18th, the King Cobra project entered a new phase, the airfields and a large number of positions outside Myitkyina were captured by the Allies, Stilwell and Paterno flew to Myitkyina to inspect the troops, and Colonel Hunt was still under the command of Colonel Hunt in Myitkyina (on April 29, 1944, when the Chinese and American commandos set off from Tykry, Merrill had a heart attack and was taken to the 20th Hospital of the United States Army in Ledo for treatment, and his command was represented by Colonel Hunt). At this time, the column also reached the vicinity of Jabad, a northern suburb of Myitkyina. Prior to this, the 3rd Column had advanced to the vicinity of the North Airfield and Sitapur, cutting off the communication between Myitkyina and Waza, and due to the surprise attack of the Japanese army, the 3rd Column was in confusion for a time, and after rectification, moved to Jabadr to join the 1st Column.

In Myitkyina, Stilwell and several American generals seemed to think that Myitkyina was already in the bag, so after discussion, they thought that the Japanese army in Myitkyina had no way to pose a threat to themselves, and the most important thing at present was to prevent the reinforcements of devils to pose a threat to the besieging troops, especially the airport, at that time, the lifeline of the attacking troops, food, ammunition, heavy weapons, wounded transport and heavy weapons had to rely on the airport, so a large number of troops were deployed around Myitkyina, The non-existent Japanese attacking forces were held to the death, and the task of attacking Myitkyina was given to the 150th Regiment.

On May 19, the 150th Regiment counted Myitkyina, and in the face of the main force of the 114th Wing, the miners of the devils dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese soldiers, who dodged the bombardment in the tunnels, and then opened fire on the Chinese soldiers entering Myitkyina from all directions, and the casualties of a regiment of the 150th Regiment gradually increased in the dogfight, and they had to withdraw from Myitkyina.

The downpour began to fall again, and the rain turned the road into a swamp, and the Japanese mountain artillery unit was trapped on the road, and some mules and horses smashed into the mud puddle and even broke their legs, and they could not reach the front line for the time being. Five Type 97 medium tanks were even more unable to advance.

At this time, the Japanese troops who were waiting in Xitong did not have the support of large-caliber artillery, only grenadiers and one or two remaining 92 infantry guns.

The effect of the heavy rain on the offensive was enormous, and near the eastern heights, the rain washed away the vicinity of the hill into a large quagmire; The Japanese army climbed the mountain and attacked on his back, and his shoes stepped on knee-high mud, making it difficult to walk an inch. And the terrain on this hill is narrow, and the large forces cannot spread, so they can only attack continuously with squadrons as units.

The heavy rain was fortunate for the Feng Yi division in Xitong, while for the Myitkyina line, the Allies were even more uncomfortable, because they needed more time.

Myitkyina was attacked by the combined forces of China and the United States, which shocked the top Japanese generals in Burma. The commander of the 33rd Army, Lieutenant General Honda Masasai, urgently ordered the 1st Brigade of the 148th Wing of the 56th Division and the commander of the 56th Brigade of the division, Major General Minakami Genzo, to lead the 1st Brigade of the 113th Wing of the headquarters to reinforce Myitkyina from Meng Gong and Ba Mo respectively.

Desperate efforts were not only the task of the infantry, in the air, Allied pilots who firmly controlled air supremacy were also taking off at risk, taking off and landing frequently at Myitkyina airfield.

The commandos fought hard in Xitong, and the Japanese troops in the 20-kilometer position outside the Kameng completely lost their supplies and rear contact, and the rear road was cut off, and they fell into a great panic, and their combat effectiveness was sharply reduced by more than 50 percent. Liao Yaoxiang commanded the new 22nd Division, finally passed through the Marakau Heights, and continued to command the new 22nd Division to attack the Kameng.

In the vicinity of the Kameng, the Japanese army deployed the 55th Infantry Wing and the 56th Infantry Wing, and also attached to the 18th Artillery Wing. Outwardly, this is still the appearance of the main force of a division, but in reality, the infantry is a wing without soldiers, and the artillery is a wing without shells.

The most terrible thing is that they have now lost their logistical supply base, and with the onset of the rainy season, the symptoms of beriberi (a disease lacking vitamins that can be fatal) quickly manifest themselves, and most of the drugs they used to fight against this disease have become trophies of the commandos.

Due to malnutrition, the devil's thin face, hands and feet have become chubby due to swelling, and he even feels uncomfortable in his daily life.

Like the Chinese soldiers, the devils do not have enough calories, and no one can guarantee that their bodies can resist the rampant erosion of dysentery bacteria.

The soldiers, who had a high fever from dysentery, could only put wet towels on their heads with their comrades, and their whole bodies were involuntarily shaking because of the cold. Because of the frequent exposure to rain and the frightened stomach at any time, it is easy to develop colitis and quickly turn into amoebic dysentery (this bacterial infectious disease has a high mortality rate and is difficult to cure); Sick soldiers had to endure the pain of pulling their stomachs dozens of times a day, and the blood in their stools was uncontrollable, bleeding all day long.

In the past, this kind of soldier would be sent to Xitong or Zhizun, where they set up a rear hospital, but now the rear hospital is gone, and they can only wait for death in the hospital of the card alliance, whether it is a wounded soldier or a sick person, a large number of seriously ill people who are on the verge of death are flooded in the card alliance, and the morale of the devils is getting lower and lower.

At the beginning, in order to ensure the morale of the troops, Tanaka Shinichi concealed the fact of the fall of Xitong and Zhizun from the soldiers on the front line of the Kameng, but the attacking troops made no progress for several days, and more and more soldiers were stranded in the Kameng waiting to be transferred.

This kind of news is like a flood that comes after the levee bursts, crushing the devils who still have a little will, and a large number of devils have been knocked down by the disease; Seeing that the nests were all copied, the morale of the Japanese troops in the Kameng was declining, and the command was ineffective, so they could only fight on their own.

Liao Yaoxiang, who was attacking the outer positions of the Kameng, made progress every day, and the solid 20-kilometer position in front of him originally thought that it would become a nightmare for the new 22nd Division, but he did not expect that it was now useless, and there were loopholes everywhere.

At the end of May, the new 38th Division finally cleared all the devil strongholds in the Waran area, and the new 22nd Division continued to the Kameng at the same time After all, the Japanese troops near the Kameng collapsed, and the back road was cut off, and there was no way to retreat.

Until now, all of the 56th Wing, the main force of the 18th Division, the main force of the 56th Wing, the main force of the 18th Mountain Artillery Wing (including a brigade of field artillery), the 114th Brigade of the 3rd Wing, and the 21st Heavy Artillery Brigade have all been annihilated. The new 22nd Division captured 105 complete artillery pieces that had not had time to destroy, 4 heavy guns, 6 field guns, and 1 mountain artillery. The Japanese army painstakingly built the Kameng fortifications for more than 2 years, and it became a pile of waste. Subsequently, the new 38th and new 22nd divisions marched in unison along the Menggong River to encircle Kameng from three sides.
