Early in the morning of the third day, dozens of trucks were loaded with special melee teams to Dimapur.

Zhang Junhao and General Wingate were riding in the same jeep, and the jeep was running in the truck shop.

The dust was flying along the way, and the car windows were covered with dust.

Along the way, General Wingate was talking to Zhang Junhao.

General Wingate said: "General Zhang, you are the greatest war general I have ever encountered since I joined the army. His military achievements are rare in the world. Any difficult and difficult battle is not a problem in front of you. You are invincible and you will be invincible. All the battles you fought are miracles. I sincerely admire you. If you were a British man, you should be at least a lieutenant general now, and you can command thousands of troops."

Zhang Junhao waved his hand and said, "You are polite. Fighting the Japanese is a duty of all countries in the Anti-*** alliance. I am just doing what a Chinese soldier should do. The military achievements are already in the past, and how to fight the next battle is what I am considering."

General Wingate said: "My bottle of red wine is temporarily sent to you. When I have time in the future, I will definitely drink it with you."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "I asked the guard to hide it. I think we will definitely have a chance to drink together in the future."

General Wingate opened the box he carried with him, took out a sword inserted in the gem scabbard, handed it to Zhang Junhao, and said, "This is the sword given to me by a great Arab chief, I will give it to you."

Zhang Junhao quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't accept it. Just by this gorgeous scabbard, you can see that it's priceless. I can't take away what you love."

General Wingate forced himself to put Zhang Junhao on his thigh, covered the box, and said with a smile: "The treasure knife is given to the hero, and it is placed here. It is just a decoration for you to kill the enemy."

Zhang Junhao held up the sword in both hands and looked carefully. The handle and scabbard were integrated into one, all with golden bases and red sapphires. There was a huge yellow cat's eye stone on each side. The scabbard shape was very strange, like a hook.

Zhang Junhao pulled out the sword. The sword was curved, but not as exaggerated as the scabbard.

The blade has patterns and is shining with cold light. You can tell that it is extremely sharp without trying it.

Zhang Junhao inserted his sword into the sheath, held General Wingate in both hands, and said with a smile: "I don't accept it. Go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and have a dagger foot. This kind of sword is just a ceremonial war, showing the authority of the chief."

General Wingate held Zhang Junhao's arm, looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes, and smiled and said, "Please keep it! It's not a flashy knife. I have tried to cut iron like mud and blow hair and cut hair. It's a real good knife. I like to make friends, and I'll treat you as a gift."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "It's impolite to come but not come, but I'm not going to give you a gift!"

General Wingate smiled and said, "How about giving me the command knife of the Japanese general as a gift?"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "No problem, Major General Seo of the 18th Division is here! When I arrive at Dimapur, I will give it to you."

General Wingate waved his hand and said, "I want you to seize a command knife from the general of the 15th Japanese Army to send me."

Zhang Junhao was stunned and whispered: "You can meet it but you can't find it!"

General Wingate smiled and said, "So after returning from Myitkyina in the future, you must work hard to fight a good war and try to kill a general of the 15th Japanese Army with your own hands."

Zhang Junhao sat upright, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! In the future, I will definitely find a way to kill a general from the 15th Japanese Army and give you his command knife."

At noon, the T-Second Team arrived at Dimapur Airport, and General Wingate watched Zhang Junhao board the plane.

The plane took off at 2 pm and arrived in Myitkyina in the evening.

Zhang Junhao stood beside the plane, looking around, feeling a lot of emotion.

At the airport, one plane is landing and one plane is taking off.

There are piles of supplies everywhere, and there are Chinese and American soldiers everywhere.

There are cannons on the east side constantly firing.

The members of the Special Melee team were unloading supplies from the plane. In order to join the war as soon as they arrived in Myitkyina, the Special Melee team brought all the supplies in Kohima.

A group of Chinese Expeditionary Forces stayed at the airport helped the special melee team carry supplies.

A colonel came and found Zhang Junhao and said, "Captain Liao Yaoxiang is welcome."

Zhang Junhao asked curiously: "What? Is General Liao Yaoxiang not the division commander?"

The colonel said: "Short after you left Myitkyina, the Chinese army stationed in India was reorganized and two armies were established. General Sun Liren served as the commander of the New 1st Army, and General Liao Yaoxiang served as the commander of the New 6th Army, with three divisions, the 14th Division, the 50th Division and the 22nd Division.

The General Staff was established, and the Chief of Staff was General Betno, and the Battle of Myitkyina was specifically responsible for General Betno."

Zhang Junhao asked: "Have the special melee team station been arranged?"

The colonel said: "It has been arranged long ago, and someone will come to contact me. Please follow me to the military headquarters immediately."

After Zhang Junhao explained to Xie Xinming a few words, he followed the colonel forward.

Zhang Junhao followed the colonel on a jeep, which drove quickly to the west on the plane runway and stopped on the road between a group of houses in a woods.

This area was originally a Japanese barracks, and Zhang Junhao knew this very well when he recaptured this airport. Now this area has become the newly established 6th Army headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Zhang Junhao forgot the past when he traveled through time, so he didn't know what happened in this area after he left Myitkyina.

When he was in Lamba, Zhang Junhao met General Liao Yaoxiang, and he could be said to be an old acquaintance.

In front of a bungalow, General Liao Yaoxiang and a group of officers stood there.

After the jeep stopped, General Liao Yaoxiang came up strode and Zhang Junhao stood at attention and saluted General Liao Yaoxiang. When Zhang Junhao left Myitkyist, General Liao Yaoxiang was still a major general, and now he is a lieutenant general. Of course, Zhang Junhao must salute!

General Liao Yaoxiang was a little stunned, stood at attention unconsciously, and performed a standard military salute.

General Liao Yaoxiang stretched out his hands and shook hands warmly with Zhang Junhao, and said with a smile: "Welcome! In order to invite you to come, the deputy commander-in-chief General Zheng Dongguo and the commander-in-chief General Stilwell sent reports to General Mountbatten and General Slim many times, hoping that you will come, just like looking forward to the stars and the moon."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "I don't have the clone skills! I was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Kohima just now and personally exploded the Japanese army's castle. If you are summoned, will I come immediately?"

General Liao Yaoxiang invited Zhang Junhao into the house. Next to a table covered with white cloth, General Liao Yaoxiang asked Zhang Junhao to sit in the first seat on the east side. A group of officers took the seat one after another. General Liao Yaoxiang sat down in the south seat.

A map of Myitkyina was posted on the south wall.

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "General Liao, just give orders to my troops! Don't worry, I, Zhang Junhao, firmly implement your orders."

General Liao Yaoxiang looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes and sighed, "I have no right to give you an order."

Zhang Junhao was shocked and unexpected. He thought he had offended General Liao and whispered: "Please forgive me if you have something to do."

General Liao Yaoxiang quickly laughed and said, "General Zhang, you are wrong. Although I am the commander of the army, my command is not with me. General Betno, the chief of staff of the headquarters."

Zhang Junhao asked in a low voice: "Where is General Betno?"

General Liao Yaoxiang said: "Inspecting the artillery position."

Zhang Junhao looked to the east, and the sound of cannons rumbling and gunshots were like fried beans.

Zhang Junhao looked at General Liao Yaoxiang's eyes and whispered: "The troops gathered here are more than ten times that of the Japanese army. The firepower is definitely stronger than that of the Japanese army. Moreover, the US planes can bomb continuously. Before our special melee team left, the 56th Japanese army's main force search was eliminated. The Japanese army in Myitkyina had less than 1,550 troops. I can't figure out how the battle was like this? Why did it take to transfer our troops from Kohima?"

General Liao Yaoxiang sighed heavily and said, "It's hard to describe it! That's right! I'll tell you about the situation in violation of military discipline. You are not an outsider. We met when we were in Lamba. I can trust you. You won't tell Stilwell after hearing it."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Tell me! When General Betno comes back, you want to tell me, but there is no chance."

General Liao Yaoxiang said: "I'll just say a long story short, and to put it in a nutshell. Since the TCM left Myitkyina by plane, the 89th Regiment, the 14th Regiment, the artillery and engineer units of the New 30th Division have been airlifted to Myitkyina one after another. A few days later, the Sino-US mixed detachment came from Tekeli to Myitkyina. General Stilwell and General Zheng Dongguo inspected the Mission's Western Airport and issued the order to the Battle of Myitkyina. To May 18

At night, the Chinese and American commandos arrived in Myitkyina included 3 battalions of the 5307th Regiment and the 6th Team of the British Rangers, the 88th and 89th Regiments of the New 30th Division and the 150th Regiment of the 50th Division, totaling 4 infantry regiments, 1 mountain artillery company, 4 75mm mountain artillery pieces. One heavy mortar company and 8 105mm mortars. Both in morale, force and firepower, they have overwhelming advantages over the Japanese army in Myitkyina.

However, Brigadier General Mairel was eager to win and was confused by the initial victory. He was too arrogant and failed to adopt the reasonable suggestions of the US commander. He did not make necessary adjustments to the Sino-US commando, which had been exhausted after 20 days of long-distance arduous marches and battles, and still maintained the original marching formation, allowing the 1st and 3rd columns to be scattered near Schubad, about 9 kilometers away from the Western Airport, so that the Sino-US commando team's advantage was greatly reduced due to the dispersed force, and did not conduct detailed enemy situations, terrain reconnaissance and preparation for a tough battle; especially, he did not take effective measures to effectively cut off the Japanese reinforcements and supply routes, so that the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the Japanese 114th Regiment were defeated.

The battlegrounds of Wazha and Menggong River Valley entered Myitkyina successively for reinforcements, which also allowed a battalion of the 113th Regiment, a squadron of field artillery and the main force of the 56th Engineer Regiment to cross the Irrawaddy River from Wanmang near Myitkyina on May 30, thus increasing the strength of the Japanese army in Myitkyina by more than 2 times to more than 3,600 people. In addition, although the Chinese and American commandos had strong air support, they lacked close land, air contact and coordinated operations, and the ground artillery fire was insufficient, and the artillery and artillery were not coordinated enough. The Myitkyina surprise attack turned into a long-lasting, unsuccessful attack and heavy casualties. It completely lost the significance of the surprise attack and did not achieve the expected results.

Brigadier General Mairre ordered the 1st and 3rd columns to attack the North Airport and Sitapur on the morning of the 18th. Although he occupied the North Airport, he fought fiercely because of the 2nd Battalion of the 114th Regiment in Wazha. Finally, the Japanese army broke through the front line and entered the city of Myitkyina. During the battle, the 1st and 3rd columns retreated to the area of ​​Chabad, and the North Airport was lost again. The attack of the Sino-US commando in northern Myitkyina was hit for the first time, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to use the railway to drive a train full of military supplies to Menggong.

At the same time, Brigadier General Mairel ordered the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 89th Regiment, which had just arrived, to build fortifications from the southwest of the West Airport to Happy Valley, and to guard the airport with the 1st Battalion of the regiment; ordered the 150th Regiment to attack the Okao Pavilion from Xinkapo to the east, and attack the city of the train repair shop with the 2nd and 3rd Battalions. On the night of the 19th, the regiment defeated the Japanese army of the train repair shop and captured the railway station in one fell swoop; but because of the unfamiliar terrain, he was busy receiving spoils, and did not take advantage of the victory to chase and annihilate the remaining enemies and expand the results. The battle broke out and caused a melee when he was counterattacked by about 100 Japanese troops. Guo Wengan, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, was ambushed by more than 10 Japanese troops while leading his troops to reinforce. The 3rd Battalion was disbanded, with more than 500 casualties. The train station was lost again, and officers and soldiers

Trapped near the station, fighting for two days, supply was interrupted, ammunition and food were exhausted. Brigadier General Mairel failed to send troops to reinforce in time, resulting in the failure of the unit, forcing him to fight with the Japanese army, break out of the encirclement, retreat to the Happy Valley, and rectify the Hetao area. The 5307th Joint Brigade also lost more than two-thirds of its troops during the attack and lost its combat effectiveness. Brigadier General Mairel shirked responsibility, accusing the regiment commander of incompetent command and ineffective combat, and suggested that Stilwell be dismissed and sent back to the country. This made the Chinese officers and soldiers very dissatisfied and resisted. Brigadier General Mairel relapsed in anger and was sent to the rear for treatment. Brigadier General Maichum temporarily took over his command position. At this time, Major General Xu Ying, deputy commander of the 14th Division, led the 42nd Regiment to Myitkyina.

A few days ago, General Stilwell, together with General Zheng Dongguo, Hu Su, the commander of the new 30th Division, Pan Yukun, the commander of the 50th Division, and Chief of Staff of the headquarters, came to Myitkyina to adjust the command system. The representative of Stilwell, Stilwell, set up a combat command post in Myitkyina in India, and carried out command; McCam was the field commander, commanding the troops in Myitkyina; Hunter was the commander of the 5307th Joint Brigade. The Chinese troops in Myitkyina were led by Hu Su and Pan Yukun, and the temporary formation of the former Sino-US Joint Assault Detachment was revoked.

Compared with Mairrell, Bettenau has no practical experience and ability to command large corps operations. He dare not be on the front line. He relies on the reports of the enemy and us on the battlefield. This kind of report is often false. Moreover, Bettenau has always been domineering and despises Chinese officers. He always ignores our reports and reasonable suggestions, thinks he is self-righteous and insists on his own. Because of his eagerness to seek merit, until yesterday, he has repeatedly launched large-scale attacks regardless of objective situation, resulting in heavy casualties among Chinese and American soldiers, and can only advance 50 to 200 meters a day. Bettenau instead slandered the Chinese army for its ineffective combat and was staunch in the process of slandering, and even dismissed the division commander Hu Su without authorization and sent back to his country.

Now the command system is in chaos and the morale of the army is shaken. General Stilwell, as he had no choice, urgently begged the British army to transfer your troops to join the war.

General Zhang, you have high prestige, and General Stilwell has spent all his efforts to urgently transfer from the Kohima frontline. I believe that you must listen carefully to your words. Next, your opinions will play an important role in how to fight this battle."
