In the forties of the last century, China bravely took a historic step under the dual consideration of the international situation and the destiny of the country. As an ally in the fight against fascism, China's actions have a crucial impact on the country's future.
Although our army is relatively short of materials, and the equipment of our soldiers cannot be compared with foreign guns and artillery, in that era when even nails could not be made, it was undoubtedly very precious to be able to obtain material support from anti-fascist countries.
This also explains why we had to trade manpower for equipment and material support from the Allies. Japan was ambitious and tried in vain to force Chongqing to surrender, so as to achieve the goal of strangulation for all of China.
However, it is these Chinese soldiers who went to fight in Myanmar to protect our country's bottom line. Their stubborn resistance left Japan in a state where it could not move forward.
The addition of the Chinese Army in India and the Chinese Expeditionary Force not only provided strong support for the British resistance, but also made an important contribution to the successful delivery of supplies on the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
We all know that the strength of the troops stationed in India is incomparably strong. So why is it that the domestic army is relatively weak, but in Myanmar, where the terrain is complex, the army stationed in India can be so strong?
This is obviously inseparable from the support of combat equipment and materiel. Through this case, we can draw a conclusion that the combat effectiveness of the squadron is directly related to the level of equipment at that time.
In the course of our army's war in Burma, it received a lot of material assistance from the United States. After the failure of the first invasion of Burma and the lessons learned from the confusion of command, Stilwell succeeded in taking command of the Chinese forces in India.
This material aid helped us wash away the previous shame, and Stilwell promised never to lag behind in terms of materials and equipment, so the Chinese troops stationed in India also received material and equipment support from the United States.
That is why the strength of the Chinese army in India is so strong. In addition to this, the United States also sends instructors to conduct basic military training for novices to improve their military literacy.
Elite units led by superior officers, supported by professional training, played a key role in the operation. However, the Chinese military in India is not as ideal as we imagined.
According to the recollections of the US military instructors, there are a large number of corrupt elements inside, who disregard the safety of the soldiers, privately withhold materials, and try to seek personal benefits from them. Despite this, U.S. instructors worked tirelessly to ensure that soldiers received the supplies they needed.
* The misconduct of the generals is deeply distressing. Especially during the critical period, their act of transferring supplies to the black market regardless of the overall situation is tantamount to indirect"**
From the soldiers' point of view, the "private operations" of the officers often left them in the dark. Defending the country was a top priority, but his superiors didn't care if the soldiers were adequately supported.
These circumstances shocked even the American ** officers, human desires are like a bottomless abyss, and the terrible thing is that in battle, soldiers not only have to bear life and death, but also the invisible hand of greed is depriving them of their lives.
The US military officers found that the layers of exploitation by their superiors made the soldiers barely make ends meet, and their combat effectiveness was seriously affected by insufficient equipment. In order to solve this problem, the US ** officer decided to personally supervise the distribution of supplies and ensure that the materials were delivered directly to the soldiers.
However, corrupt elements still exist in the **, and they even use blatant means to force soldiers to hand over the vitamins distributed by the US military to them. Despite the difficulties, US military officers still stick to their duties and hope to improve their combat effectiveness and physical fitness with practical actions.
Do you know? This vitamin is specially provided by the U.S. military to prevent soldiers from becoming physically exhausted. But the ** commander did not even let go of this material, let the soldiers hold it in their mouths, but did not let them swallow it immediately, but rolled it under the tongue, and then spit it out together.
This kind of behavior can be said to be mad, and even the US military feels ridiculous about it. But in order to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, the US military has also come up with various methods. Since ** is so "absolute", the US military will not let go easily.
Every time they distributed supplies, they took matters into their own hands and ensured that the soldiers chewed the vitamins to prevent their commanders from stealing and selling them. This strategy did work, as can be seen from the significant increase in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
Equipped with sufficient supplies and equipment, they marched forward bravely on the battlefield and fought many tough battles.
In Fukun, in the Hukang River Valley, the fighting quality of the Chinese troops stationed in India has taken on a new look and has been improved in an all-round way. This is due to their overall improvement in terms of establishment, equipment, tactics and materials.
In particular, the 56th Wing was able to resist stubbornly in the dense forest without flinching in the face of intensive enemy fire and air support, and although it had 900 units, it was still able to resist stubbornly in the dense forest without flinching, which was rare in the past.
Therefore, when the situation of the battle was reported to their superiors, the Japanese army was deeply shocked.
The 1:6 record is breathtaking, and this kind of victory is almost never done before, and it deserves our deep admiration. The Japanese army was struggling with its inferiority, and even many Japanese teenagers became prisoners of the new army, which undoubtedly indicated that Japan was cornered.
In the end, the stubborn resistance of ** ensured a steady flow of material resources from the Burma Highway to China, and at the same time stopped the Japanese army's ambition to attack Yunnan by cutting off the Burma Highway.
This battle was a victory for the anti-fascist coalition, but also a victory for China, and it brought the dawn of an end to the war. However, it is sad that hundreds of millions of Chinese have left their homes and sacrificed their lives to defend the survival and development of the country, winning materials and equipment for China to fight a protracted war of resistance and make this war continue.
In the second active outbound operation, the heroic dedication of the squadron became an important guarantee for China's survival in the war, and they built the Great Wall of flesh and blood with their loyal souls.
