The accident in the logistics camp of the 3rd Regiment was not an isolated case, and the Japanese did everything they could to prevent the expeditionary force from advancing south...... Like indiscriminate minefields, suicide attacks, they are staging all sorts of disgusting tactics throughout the southern borders of Myanmar.

The Japanese army also began to shrink its forces in an all-round way, and all the troops that the Southern Army could mobilize were sent to the Yangon area, about three divisions and a naval garrison group, with a total strength of 70,000 troops.

This is the last area they can control in Burma, and the rest of the troops will remain in Malaysia and the Philippines to guard against American forces in the Pacific, and even be ready to be transferred to support the Pacific theater at any time.

Some time ago, there was a battle with the Japanese army in Siam, and the 50th and 200th divisions severely damaged the Japanese 5th Division and part of the Siamese army, and then entered Kayin State in Burma through Chiang Mai, gradually approaching Bago, almost cutting off the Japanese army's road communication to Malaysia.

But the little devils don't seem to care at all, they travel from Malaysia to Myanmar mostly by sea, through the Madaban Bay into Yangon, almost never through the Kra Isthmus, which connects to the Malay Peninsula, and the only main road there is only a railroad that was trimmed by the British in the 20s, and the transportation capacity is limited.

In fact, the main purpose of the 50th Division and the 200th Division was to use the position of Kayin State to contain a part of the Japanese army, and to form an east-west offensive point through the flank and the 3rd Division of Long Wenwen, so as to reduce the frontal pressure.

In the following days, Long Wenwen's left army did advance very hard, not only because the Japanese stubbornly resisted, but the most critical point was because the American army was no longer so keen on fighting southward, and the air force attendance rate began to get lower and lower, even if Liao Mingyu made various tactical requests to Stilwell, it was to no avail.

On the Allied side, Stilwell felt that logistics and the deployment of soldiers were becoming more and more difficult, and the U.S. Pacific Command was also exerting pressure, so he decided not to attack southern Burma for the time being, hoping to wait until the situation eased.

The U.S. military also approached the Japanese mainland after a long island-hopping campaign in the Pacific theater, and planned to use Okinawa, an island only 340 miles from the Japanese mainland, as an air combat base to carry out a strategic plan to attack Japanese territory.

Therefore, the focus of the US military is gradually shifting elsewhere, preparing to deal with a series of combat operations such as landing on Okinawa Island next, as for the Burmese side... The Japanese were no longer able to launch an offensive against northern Burma and even India, let alone threaten southwestern China, and the strength of the southern army was greatly consumed, and the core strategic objective had basically been achieved, so there was no need to continue to invest new combat power.

On the British side, Pakistan had to fight, and their three infantry brigades stopped in Chin State, close to India, had not moved for months, except for doing logistical work to maintain law and order.

However, this is only the idea of a group of high-level Allied forces, and it is not a good thing for Liao Mingyu, once the war in Southeast Asia stops, their expeditionary force will be useless, and there is no other point in staying in Burma except waiting for World War II to end as history.

Liao Mingyu can imagine that once the war is stopped, the domestic government's order will definitely be sent to return to China as soon as possible, and then... All supplies on the side of the U.S. military will disappear, and they will face a dilemma.

If you go back... Don't think about the basic coolness, falling into the hands of Lao Jiang, house arrest is the most benevolent embodiment. If you don't go back and stay in Myanmar to rely on the base to develop, it will be difficult to develop rapidly only with the existing conditions, unless you keep fighting and plundering new resources.

In the end, it is either to return to the motherland or to become independent, but compared to the country's sheer size, it is at best a Southeast Asian warlord, trying to survive in the cracks, or the kind that is not officially recognized may have many risks.

The U.S. military thinks that it is impossible to annihilate all the little devils in Southeast Asia all the way by relying on the expeditionary force, you must know that the Japanese Southern Army has occupied almost the entire Southeast Asia since 42, although its troops are not much, but it also covers Burma, Siam, Vietnam, Malay, the Philippines... If you really want to clean up a little bit, it is difficult to do it with the strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Americans have always only looked at maximizing profits, and now that your role has been achieved, continuing to invest has become a meaningless waste and completely unnecessary. Moreover, they are still dreaming of successfully landing on the Japanese mainland, and they are full of joy and preparation

The plan to capture Okinawa did not feel that the Japanese would be able to stop the advance of the American war machine.

It's a pity that in the Battle of Okinawa, the little devils taught these proud American soldiers a good lesson, and the first appearance of the 1:1.2 battle loss exchange ratio greatly shocked the Americans, although they finally annihilated the 100,000 Japanese troops on the island, but they also paid the price of more than 80,000 casualties, which can be called the largest loss in the major battles in the Pacific.

Of course, there are also a series of factors such as the US Army's lack of combat experience, dull tactics, and improper command of the generals, but the bloody facts in front of us have to make the Americans admit that the 100 million jade fragments that the Japanese are clamoring for are not just slogans and shouts, and it is really possible for these madmen to do it, and they may finally be able to land the army on the Japanese island, but the price they pay is not something they can bear.

Therefore, frightened by the Yankees, in August of the same year, they hurriedly dropped two atomic bombs that were still being experimented, in order to speed up the end of the war.

In fact, Liao Mingyu also knows this, but he doesn't need to be tough with all the southern Japanese troops, with the materials he is now hoarding from the base, as long as he takes Malaysia and the Indonesian archipelago before the end of the war, he can develop a more powerful military force, and no matter what he wants to do, he will have the confidence to speak, otherwise defending himself will only bring about destruction in the end.

Ultimately... Although he has been eating military supplies provided by the US military, Liao Mingyu has not blindly relied on their assistance.

At the end of the year, the system found several iron and copper mines in the northwest of Mandalay Province, which increased the internal income of the base.

From the second half of the year to the present, the Heihe base has been processing and producing day and night, stopping people and manufacturing in shifts 24 hours a day, replacing the machine directly if it is broken, and recruiting from the residents if it is not enough, whether it is food, ammunition, guns and artillery or tanks and combat vehicles, as long as the production line can be manufactured, it has not stopped.

Except for a small amount of materials produced in the Heihe factory, most of them are stored inside the base, and more than a dozen large warehouses have been hoarded in the past few months, so that the inside of the military factory cannot be placed, and the plant has to be expanded from the outside.

And if all this equipment is taken out... It would not be a problem to arm three or four more main forces like the Honorable 3rd Division. One of them, a weapon that is a nightmare for infantry, has also been shipped from the factory and is being shipped to the front...
