On the night of the third day, the Japanese retreated on all fronts and retreated to the Arakan Mountains between Burma and India.

The most surprising of this were the British.

They had just negotiated terms with Stilwell at the cost of colonizing Burma, with the aim of allowing the Sino-American coalition to cross the river to fight the Japanese army earlier in order to reduce the pressure on the British and Indian forces...... According to their assumption, the Japanese were so tenacious and stoic that it was impossible for them to abandon Burma in a short time, so they would have been fighting the Chinese army along the Irrawaddy River for a long time anyway. Unexpectedly, the Japanese, who were very tenacious in their eyes, gave up Burma without firing a shot, while the British took the initiative to sacrifice the colonial rights of Burma in vain.

In fact, it should be said that this is also the wishful thinking of the British, there is no so-called "colonial right" in international law at all, at this time it is the Chinese army that plays a dominant role on the battlefield in Burma, and the British army is just one or two Anglo-Indian divisions who "grab war merits", according to the principle that whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, and it is not the turn of the British to speak in the land of Burma.

As for the British misjudgment of the Japanese army, this is actually understandable.

The same army behaves differently in front of different enemies.

For example, on the domestic battlefield, most of the **** in the face of the Japanese army behaved handsomely and fearful of death, but there was only one exception for the Japanese army, that is, the Osaka Division of the Japanese army...... The reason is that everyone knows that the Osaka Division of the Japanese Army will not fight, so every time they know that there are troops of the Osaka Division in the Japanese camp, the morale of the **** troops is greatly boosted, and even the most timid officers and soldiers and troops in peacetime will roll up their sleeves and scream.

This is often the case with wars, and it is just such a little psychological reason that causes the Osaka Division to face a stronger enemy combat effectiveness, which will even affect other Japanese troops who fight with the Osaka Division. So the Japanese army sighed, if anyone fights with the Osaka Division, then wait to accept the end of defeat!

The same was true of the Japanese troops in Burma, who were frightened in front of the Chinese army...... This is frightened, and not only refers to the performance of the Chinese army in the first Burma campaign. It is also equipped with US weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has skyrocketed.

However, the Japanese army was completely opposite in the face of the British army, and the British and Indian troops were almost defeated in front of the Japanese army, and even the fortified city of Imphal was also taken by the weak Mutaguchi Lian.

As a result, these same Japanese troops, they lost confidence in front of the Chinese army, and they would think that even the elite 18th Division and the 2nd Division would be beaten and fled in front of them, not to mention other troops. But in front of the British and Indian troops, it was different, as soon as they saw those British military uniforms and the dark faces of the Indians, their lost confidence and morale in the Chinese immediately returned. This, on the contrary, gave the Japanese army a stronger fighting force.

This is also the reason why the British misjudged the Japanese army...... The British simply thought that the Japanese were still so demoralized in fighting the British and Indian armies, so they should not give up Burma prematurely, so they preferred to use the colonial rights of Burma in exchange for the Chinese army. Who would have thought that the result would be that the Japanese retreated first before the Chinese army could send troops.

As soon as the Japanese withdrew, the Chinese army occupied the entire territory of Burma without much effort, and in an instant, cheers resounded throughout Burma, especially the overseas Chinese stationed in Burma...... It was the great honor that the Chinese army had repelled the murderous Japanese army, and every house was lit up. For the Chinese army, it is not lively to send pennants and set off firecrackers, just like a festival.

"Joe!" Alexander quickly approached Stilwell: "Can we talk about Burma......"

Stilwell had been prepared for this, and he replied without raising his eyebrows: "Alex, first of all, we have not broken the peace treaty. We have indeed crossed the Irrawaddy River. Secondly, if you want to break the contract, it is better to consider whether you need the Chinese army to help you fight in the future, or maybe it can be me! ”

Said so by Stilwell. Alexander was silent.

Stilwell was realistic, and although the Japanese army had withdrawn from Burma, it was entrenched in the Arakan Mountains between India and Burma. Even stuck in Imphal makes it impossible to communicate between India and Myanmar, for which the Chinese army is nothing, the Chinese side only needs to fight or wait for the 56th Division on the China-Burma road to be annihilated. The British, on the other hand, feared that the Japanese would use Imphal and the Arakanese area as bases and use the Indian National Army to advance westward.

Therefore, it is Britain and not China that has the right to ask for help, which means that Britain has no capital to break the treaty at all, unless Britain does not need to cooperate with the Chinese army to flank the Japanese army in the future.

"Okay!" Alexander actually knew this for a long time, he just wanted to test Stilwell's bottom line, and when he heard this, he had to reply helplessly: "When I didn't say it, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!" ”

"Happy working together!" Stilwell smiled and nodded.

When these news reached Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi was a little dizzy.

Imphal was occupied by the Japanese army, who retreated to the Arakan Mountains...... None of this has ever happened in history, but the real history is that the Japanese army was defeated in the Battle of Imphal, and then the British army, with the cooperation of the 10th Air Group of the United States Army and the Chinese army, pursued the Japanese army all the way south, and finally recovered the whole territory of Burma.

However, this does not seem to be surprising, as Rangoon was not reconquered in history as it is now.

This also proves one point, that is, the existence of Zhang Chi has finally made history have a different trend.

As for whether this trend is good or bad, Zhang Chi is not sure, and says that it is okay...... The situation is indeed better than it seems in history, at least the Chinese expeditionary force did not go into the Savage Mountains and pay heavy casualties as in history, and now it has recovered Burma in a much shorter time.

It's not good to say that it's not good, does that mean that the historical trend that Zhang Chi is familiar with has changed, that is to say, Zhang Chi is going to lose the advantage of the unpredictable prophet.

"Zhang ......" at this time, Pete, who was wearing a tank top and a helmet and a cigarette in his mouth, walked in, he raised the radio in his hand and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little funny, the radio could be regarded as an old antique to him, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "What is it?" ”

"It's a radio!" Pete fiddled with it and boasted, "I got it from a friend in the quartermaster's office, and I can rely on it to relieve my boredom in the future!" Like this......"

At Pete's fiddling, a voice soon came over the radio: "With the defeat of the Battle of El Alamein, the situation of the Allies has deteriorated further......"

"What?" Zhang Chi couldn't believe his ears, the Battle of El Alamein actually failed?! (To be continued.) )
