At the same time, the British army adjusted its command structure after the Battle of Imphal, and the 15th Army in the south was no longer subordinate to Slim's 14th Army, but was directly subordinate to the theater of operations. Stilwell's command in the north was also no longer subject to the 14th Army's control in the campaign.

After the rainy season, the Chinese Expeditionary Force launched an attack on the Myitkyina line in northern Burma and the Longling line, but the British were outnumbered, and General Slim commanded the main British attack force and the Burmese Front of Kimura Hyotaro to engage in a battle at the Irrawaddy River, forgetting the original plan of the British army to cut off the Japanese army's communication line in Burma.

Burma's poor transportation conditions were very uncomfortable for commanders like the Americans, who were accustomed to using mechanized advances, and in this traffic environment, the two main railway lines that crossed the main cities of Burma in a cross line became the key targets of contention, and this part of the task was previously undertaken by the British army; However, in the Battle of Menggong, the three brigades of the British army were frightened enough, and now even this part of the task, the British army has been shirking, so the defeat of the Japanese army in Burma before the rainy season now relies on the rapid adjustment of the railway line, and they rely on the railway line to quickly mobilize troops to re-complete the deployment of northern Burma.

Solden is very different from Stilwell, in the eyes of ordinary officers, he does not go into the army as often as Stilwell, and fully plays the role of his commander; At the same time, considering Stilwell's final defeat in the struggle for the leadership of the Chinese army, and the current situation of the Americans in the Pacific War, the reduction of China's role in the battlefield, so he is now only taking Burma step by step, and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with his subordinates, especially with Chinese officers.

Why is it said that the role of the Chinese battlefield has been reduced at present?

From the end of 1942 to the end of 1943, the Japanese army transferred a large number of troops from China to the south, and half of the 12 divisions in North China were transferred to Malay, Indonesia, and New Guinea in Southeast Asia to fight Chinese.

In addition to the North China garrison, the Kwantung Army, as the "flower of the Japanese Imperial Army", also moved south in large numbers at the end of 1943, and the deployment of a large number of elite Japanese troops could not escape the ears and eyes of the Chinese intelligence services. Both the National Army and the Soviet spies quickly sensed this information and quickly passed it on to the heads of state. The southward movement of the elite units of the Japanese army was a good thing for the Far Eastern theater, when the Soviet Union was in the midst of a fierce battle with Germany, and it was necessary to relieve the pressure on the garrison in Siberia; The Chinese battlefield was short of supplies due to famine, and the morale of the army was low, and the Japanese army's transfer of troops to the south relieved the Chinese soldiers on the front line.

The reason why the Japanese army transferred so many elite troops to the south was that the Japanese army was building an absolute defense circle, mainly including the Kuril Islands in the north, the Japanese archipelago, the Philippine Islands, and the Ogasawara Islands, as well as Malay, Indonesia, and New Guinea in Southeast Asia, as well as Korea in Northeast Asia, Northeast China, and North China. This range was calculated based on the flight distance of American bombers at that time, and within this range, it was difficult for American long-range bombers to fly intensively to the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese archipelago was relatively safe.

Now, as the U.S. military war in the Pacific continues, Americans have tasted the ferocity of these "old devils," and every island has been accompanied by a large number of U.S. soldiers who have died in battle.

"There's nothing worse than the current situation!"

This was stated by MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Allied Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations.

If it weren't for the fear of the sudden surrender of the unstable Chinese government, I am afraid that the Americans would not have given even pitiful aid by now.

On October 27, the 1st Division of the New 38th Division arrived at Yaruben and outflanked the back road of the temple embankment. The main force of the new 38th Division broke through the Japanese resistance along the way, and on the evening of October 29, it conquered the temple embankment on the north bank of the Taiping River.

On November 1, the main forces of the new 38th Division arrived in Dali and prepared to cross the Taiping River. The left flank detachment crossed the Taiping River through the SS3432 chain bridge in the upper reaches of the Taiping River, and on the 3rd, captured the line from the north of Baikeng to the upper reaches of the Taiyang River, and approached the east flank of Bamo.

"The main task of the Einsatzgruppen was to sabotage the railway lines from Lashio to Shwe Poh and Myitkyina to Yangon; First of all, it is necessary to paralyze the railway lines in Burma, so that the Japanese army cannot calmly replenish troops and materials......"

As soon as the Einsatzgruppen regiment's intense month-long parachute training for recruits ended, Paterno, on behalf of Sorden, gave an order to Feng Ye to go to the rear of the Japanese army in Burma to conduct guerrilla operations and be responsible for sabotaging the rear of the devils.

"......"

Feng Ye didn't expect that he had received such a strange task, at this time, shouldn't he cooperate with the frontal attacking troops to quickly open up the Sino-Indian highway?

"This is an order from the command, Colonel."

Paterno was not interested in talking to Feng Ye more, and coldly interrupted what Feng Ye wanted to say.

"When we get to the rear of the Japanese army, how can we resupply?"

Feng raised his hand, indicating that he understood the mission of the soldiers, and began to ask questions in the operation.

"You will be airdropped in Mandalay and Tonggu, and as for supplies, you will carry radio stations, and you will designate the airdrop site at that time, and the planes will airdrop the supplies you need."

Paterno nodded, at least now that Feng Ye had accepted the task, as for the small details of the operation, it didn't matter at all.

"Are there any restrictions on the mode of warfare and the geography?"

Feng Yi asked, when he arrived at the rear of the Japanese army, there were too many uncertainties, and he didn't want to be tied hand and foot.

"As long as the Japanese train stops at the train station, you can choose any way; Is there any problem with the fact that the combat zone is limited to the whole of Myanmar? ”

Paterno asked.

"With or without a medical team, to the rear, I don't want my brothers to accept death if they are injured."

Feng Ye squinted his eyes, this is the most important thing, to send the wounded back to Lambgar or Myitkyina, there will be too many difficulties at that time, and without a medical team, there will be very few people who can come back.

"Dr. Anne and two nurses will accompany you, and this is already the maximum medical assistance given by the British."

As if he knew what questions Feng Ye would ask, Paterno did not hesitate at all, and quickly answered Feng Ng's questions.

"Still have questions?"

Paterno looked at Feng Ye, who was silent, and showed that he needed to go back to his life.

"When are you leaving?"

Feng Yi shook his head, he has not yet reached the rear of the Japanese army, all the problems are just taken for granted, and I am afraid that he will encounter a lot of difficulties at that time, but he can't think of it now.

"Departing in three days, in addition, there is a squadron of the Kachin commando to accompany you, who will act as your guide."

After Paterno's explanation, he boarded the jeep and left the training ground, which was covered with smoke and dust.
