Western Yunnan, a famous wild and bitter cold land since ancient times, only exiled prisoners will come to settle here in history, it can be said that the sky is sunny for three days, the land is flat for three miles, and people have no poor nest of three cents of silver.
The 309th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Longling plundered everywhere in the early days of occupation, doing all kinds of evil, fearing the obscenity of the Japanese army, the local people quickly fled, because they could not vent their bestiality, the Japanese troops of the 309th Garrison Brigade could be described as miserable, and the Japanese army with a strong beastly nature actually aimed at a transfer station in Shidian.
The sky in Kunming in June was like a child's face, and it was still a clear sky just now, and in an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky, drenching Song Yuhang, who was inspecting the troops, into a chicken in the soup, but Song Yuhang still watched all six drills in the rain with great interest.
Song Yuhang is very satisfied with his unique armored force on the Asian battlefield, especially the First Mechanized Division and the Second Motorized Infantry Division, which have been tested in actual combat When the troops completed the formation in the heavy rain, regardless of the storm, the entire column was like iron beating steel, and in the face of the iron-like troops, a sense of pride arose in Song Yuhang's heart.
In the Pacific theater, the US military swept away the shadow of its previous defeat under the leadership of its successor commander-in-chief Minitz, relied on the strong production and replenishment capacity of the United States, quickly regained its strength, and began to challenge the Japanese Combined Fleet that was dominating the Pacific Ocean Due to the defeat of the U.S. forces in the Pacific Theater, the fierce battle that was supposed to take place in August 1942 was postponed for a whole year, and Song Yuhang was worried that the strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet had not been seriously damaged at this time, although the Japanese army had won the so-called victory in the Battle of Midway and the Coral Sea, but the losses were close to those of the U.S.
Army.
Japan's industrial strength is very different from that of the United States, and it has not yet fully recovered its strength, but the Japanese Combined Fleet under the command of Isoroku Yamamoto is like a cunning shark, which cannot be underestimated.
In the face of the chaotic international war situation, interlocking historical events.
Cause and effect, Song Yuhang even has some fears, once he accidentally touches the wings of a butterfly, no one can predict what the wings can become At this time, the Japanese Burma Front is now full of elite soldiers, and the army has the 6th Division and the 15th Division. 18th Division, 32nd Division, 33rd Division, 49th Division, 53rd Division, 5th Division, 55th Division, 56th Division, and the 24th Brigade Regiment.
The 72nd Brigade was independently mixed, the 105th Brigade was independently mixed, the 4th Tank Division and many other units.
A total of more than 330,000 people.
In terms of air force, in addition to the original six fighter squadrons and two bomber squadrons of the Japanese army, seven new fighter squadrons were transferred from the mainland and the Pacific theater, which enabled the air force of the Japanese troops stationed in Burma to once again surpass the 14th Air Wing of the US military.
The huge military force made Kawabe Shozo ambitious again.
As long as the Imperial Japanese Army is pointed.
At the beginning of the year, he was defeated in Kunming, and he had already been thrown out of the clouds by the riverside Zhengsan.
It is highly recommended by Mutaguchi Lianya.
The strategy of dividing troops into three routes to attack India was put on the agenda of the Imperial Conference of the Japanese base camp.
Previously, in order to clear the British army as a counteroffensive base. 15th Army of the Japanese Burma Front.
Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, known as "Little Tojo", in May 1942.
Discuss with the commanders of the 15th, 31st, and 33rd Divisions in their subordinate territories about the surprise attack on Imphal.
In an attempt to cut off the Indo-Burma highway.
Prevent the allies from aiding China.
Forcing Britain to withdraw from the East Asian theater.
But together with the base camp special staff officer Takeda.
All the chiefs of staff were against the war.
They think.
Hundreds of kilometers along the way are almost entirely high mountains, rapids, wetlands, rainforests, and swamps.
Most of it is no man's land.
Tanks, vehicles, heavy weapons are not allowed to pass.
And there are many places with infectious tropical diseases.
Once dyed.
The combat effectiveness of the armed forces is bound to be sharply reduced.
And the Anglo-Indian army has advanced weapons.
Supplies are abundant.
There are air forces and armored troops to help in the war.
And wait for work.
There are many auspicious battles in this battle.
The commanders of the three divisions held similar views.
Mutaguchi denounced him as a coward. arrogantly declared: "The Anglo-Indian army is weaker than the squadron."
Most of them were conscripts from colonial territories.
As soon as our army appeared, they all ran away. ” After the argument is handed over to the base camp.
The Japanese headquarters believed that there was no air force support at all and the terrain was precipitous.
Logistical support is simply not guaranteed, and I do not agree to do it brutely.
This time it was not the case, and the commander of the Japanese Front in Burma, Shozo Kawabe, believed that the time was completely ripe for an attack on India, and now that the British and Chinese troops in India were clearly hoarding troops and supplies, there were signs that they would launch a new round of attacks on Burma in the next six months, and it would become more difficult to capture India.
Once the Imperial Japanese Army captured India, it would not only be able to obtain abundant strategic resources, but also completely cut off the support of the allies for the Chongqing government, making the Chongqing side give up its illusions, which would be a very effective catalyst for resolving the China incident.

Emperor Hirohito was very interested in the "U" battle plan proposed by the Burmese Front, because Germany had recently urged Japan to complete the plan of the Middle East division in the secret agreement between Japan and Germany, and Hitler also sent the U18 submarine to transport the notorious and mysterious Indian Independence Army leader Bose to the Mozambique Channel on the east coast of Africa, and the Japanese submarine I-29 was replaced to receive Burma.
Chandrabose was a well-known Indian ethnochauvinist and radical who escaped British imprisonment to Moscow, from where he flew to Berlin to join Nazi Germany, where he began to raise the so-called "Freedom of India", or the puppet government of India, at the behest of Hitler.
Bowes lived up to expectations and quickly assembled an army of more than 20,000 men among the Indian soldiers captured by the Japanese in Burma, and the commander of the Burmese Front, Shozo Kawabe, believed that this Indian Grand National Army would definitely play a huge role.
Emperor Hirohito was bewildered by the bright prospects outlined by Shozo Kawabe, but the Burmese Front's Chief of Staff, Major General Nakanaga Taro, and Deputy Chief of Staff, Major General Isomura Takeryo and others, objected to this plan, believing that it would be unwise to cross hundreds of kilometers of primeval jungle and fight against the British army's heavily armed material distribution center without ensuring that the attacking troops could be supplied with enough supplies and ammunition.
In the end, under the intervention of Hideki Tojo.
The base camp approved the battle plan of the Burmese Front and decided to vigorously support the Burmese Front in terms of materials.
For a time, in addition to the 55th Division and the 56th Division, which were stationed on the front line of Longling, Tengchong, and Songshan, the main force of the Japanese army began to assemble in the direction of Imphal and Kohima, the main centers of British material distribution.
Imphal is a border city in eastern India on the border with Myanmar, on the main road between Chittagong and present-day Bangladesh and Assam in eastern India.
The city is surrounded by the Manipur Mountains and is 40 miles long in the suburbs. 20 miles wide on the Imphal Plain.
Since the British retreated from Burma, the British have built Imphal into a huge military and logistical supply base.
The plains are dotted with barracks, hospitals, armouries, ammunition depots, and munitions depots.
Quite different from the Battle of Imphal, which was independently initiated by the Japanese army from the 15th Army, this time the Japanese army gathered 7 divisions including the Indian National Army and another mixed brigade of 200,000 troops.
Shozo Kawabe, who returned to Myanmar from Tokyo, first summoned his old partner Taketaguchi Ryoya to the headquarters, and Kawabe Shozo's spring breeze smile had already made Mutaguchi Ryoya know the results of the Imperial Meeting.
Kawabe Shozo smiled and took off his white gloves and threw them aside, handing him a glass of sake to Mutaguchi Ryoya, and then said with a serious expression: "Muta-kun, please drink this cup, and the great cause of the imperial kingdom will be entrusted to you."
"Hi" Mutaguchi Ryoya snapped upright, put his wine glass above his head with a serious expression and said: "I must live up to the expectations of His Excellency the Commander, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Japanese Army, long live the Great Japanese Empire."
The two warmongers, who had committed the most heinous crimes by relying on the war of aggression against China, began to discuss in detail the deployment of the campaign.
What made Kawabe Shozo and Mutaguchi Ryoya the most headache was the logistics supply of the troops.
In the Battle of Imphal in history, the Japanese 15th Army invested a total of more than 100,000 people, and finally failed to suffer heavy losses due to the factor of logistics supply, and now the Japanese army will invest 200,000 troops, and the materials and ammunition to ensure the minimum standard of its combat will also be an astronomical amount.
It is obviously impossible to rely on people to carry horses alone.
Mutaguchi also advocated a quick capture of Imphal at all costs, so that the Japanese troops could fight on the spot with British supplies without relying on logistical support.
Mutaguchi was clearly too idealistic, emphasizing the traditional idea of "food for the enemy", and Kawabe Shozo rejecting his so-called plan to "take Imphal and eat Churchill".
In the end, Major General Takery Isomura, deputy chief of staff, who had always held opposing views, put forward a plan that seemed feasible, but Deputy Chief of Staff Takeliang Isomura first pointed out at a meeting of officers at and above the division level of the front army that Mutaguchi's remarks were almost irresponsible, and Shozo Kawabe could only order Mutaguchi to reflect on himself.
In order to win the favor of Takeliang Isomura, in exchange for his plan.
Isomura Takery's plan was actually very simple, he thought that a surprise attack in a simple sense was simply impossible, and the British would definitely find that such a large-scale troop mobilization would definitely find that it was better to fight steadily and send 2 divisions as the lead, carrying a large number of Burmese laborers at Haka, Faran, and Jiling Temple.
The defense system built on the front line of Greva echoed the defense system built by the 18th Division in the Hukang River Valley, and then a supply center was established, and defensive support and supply bases were built one after another as the front was extended.
