The Allied counterattack was actually a major strategic deployment of China, Britain and the United States at that time. The United States, Britain and the Chinese troops stationed in India at that time fought against Myanmar. The battle in western Yunnan cooperated with Myanmar. General Stilwell worked with many parties and opposed the public opinion many times. He argued with reason. After persuading JJ Shi and the British not to give up the Myanmar campaign, he defeated the "Axiom Battle Plan" proposed by Mountbatten and others to cancel the Myanmar campaign. He stubbornly insisted on Myanmar, the X and Y armies in western Yunnan attacked at the same time, opening up the highway battle plan of the China-Indian highway.

After the failure of the battle to defend the Yunnan-Burma Highway, General Stilwell, who was nominally responsible for commanding the battle, was unable to reverse the situation of the failure of the war in front of the multi-head command. However, an immortal flame was burning in his heart. He was preparing to retrain in India and reorganize the Chinese army in order to make a comeback.

When the Battle of Northern Myanmar was won steadily and the construction of the Sino-Indian highway, led by General Pike, crossed the wilderness mountain and advanced step by step towards Myitkyina, Stilwell called the US Chief of Staff Marshall more than once, asking him to urge him to send the Y army to the Battle of Myanmar. Roosevelt also called JJS many times, urging the launch of the Western Yunnan Battle to promote the more favorable development of the Yunnan-Myanmar battle and open up the Sino-Indian highway.

One of the telegrams reads: Chongqing, Chairman:... Since the newly formed First Army is dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army in Myanmar, the Allied Airborne Forces have threatened the 18th Division's side, and the main force of the Japanese Myanmar Front was dragged in northern Myanmar, Impal and Achabu. Therefore, I hope you will pay enough attention to the war situation in Myanmar.

I will remind you carefully that the Japanese army in Impal and Hukang Valley will seek assistance. For this, the 56th Division of the Nujiang side may draw troops to reinforce. In addition, the 2nd and 33rd Divisions may also provide reinforcements. If the Allies capture Impal and the Allies will win in northern Myanmar, all the Sino-Indian highways under construction will be wasted, and the situation in Southeast Asia will inevitably fall into crisis again.

To this end, I would like to ask you in the name of the President of the United States, and hope that you will immediately order the y army in Yunnan to attack the entire line to promote the more favorable development of the war situation in Myanmar...

Dear yours

p.d. In order to urge JJS to send troops from western Yunnan, General Stilwell even adopted a compulsory measure to block the combat materials that had arrived in Kunming based on Marshall's opinion. On April 17, 1944, the "China-US Nujiang Battle Agreement" signed, and the Y army finally received the order to attack.

According to the "China-US Nujiang Battle Agreement", the US military provides tools to cross the river to ensure that 50,000 advance troops cross the Nujiang natural barrier; implement all-weather air cover; send US artillery troops to cooperate; and provide all combat supplies needed by the expeditionary force.

On September 14, after a fierce battle, the Japanese army in Tengchong were wiped out. On November 6, Longling and Longling were captured. The Expeditionary Force achieved major results and severely damaged the Japanese army. At this point, most of the Japanese army in western Yunnan were wiped out, and their retreating parts were like frightened birds. After that, the Expeditionary Force continued to pursue the Japanese army to Wanding and Mangyou.

At this point, except for a small number of Japanese troops fled back to Myitkyina, the Sino-US coalition forces finally completely defeated the 18th Japanese Division in the battle. The division commander Shinichi Tanaka was recalled by the Japanese military headquarters to deal with it strictly.

The news of the Chinese army conquering Myitkyina spread immediately throughout China and the world. It was the most inspiring news from the long-silent ground battlefield in Asia.

It is said that after the Allied forces captured Myitkyina Airport, the Japanese army continued to attack the airport with planes and cannons, and the Allied aircraft suffered heavy losses. Later, there were so many aircraft wreckage near the airport that an industry in Myitkyina was very prosperous after the war, which was to use aluminum sheets on the wreckage of the plane to make pots and pans.

As the Allies continued to move forward, the China-Indian Highway was also under intense construction. This road from Lido, India, is also called the Lido Highway. What is more difficult than the Yunnan-Burma Road back then is that the China-Indian Highway was completely built in the deserted mountains and primeval forests in northern Myanmar. However, due to different conditions, the construction speed of the China-Indian Highway is much faster than the Yunnan-Burma Road.

After the hard work of the Sino-US joint engineering troops, they finally built the highway out of the jungle of northern Myanmar. The total land in western Yunnan was liberated by about 38,000 square kilometers. The Chinese Expeditionary Force completed the comprehensive victory of China's strategic counterattack.

"In fact, I have always admired these heroes in the war, but... Mr. Shao... said that, it should be slower than you. After all, I would say more details." Wen Yang couldn't help but complain, after all, he was not a storyteller. However, looking at the unpredictable smile on Shao Fang's face, Wen Yang seemed to understand something.

"Can't it..." Wen Yang was slightly hesitant

However, Shao Mian did not answer directly, but continued to tell the story.
