The pilot prayed that the wind would not be too strong to make maneuvering more difficult. After the planes plunged into the valley at a large angle, there was indeed a disturbed air current, which is not uncommon in the mountains. The air currents have little positive effect on the lift of these stupid guys, but they interfere with the directional stability of the aircraft. The pilots tried their best to keep the stupid guys at bay, but the two planes still collided together. Fortunately, the rest of the planes hit the ground in roughly standard attitudes, and the speed at which these wooden planes landed could not be accurately measured, but certainly far exceeded the standard. But the thorn bushes on the ground act as some buffers to absorb these terrible kinetic energies. If they hit the ground directly, some of them might not be able to complete the rest of the ground slide.

The six gliders finally came to a stop after gliding for different distances. A C47 flew through the air and saw the valley of azaleas, which had been full of flowers, ploughed by gliders.

The rest of the light gliders fell, bringing with them personnel changes, ammunition and fuel, and then all the transport planes flew away, the whole process, the Japanese were completely unaware. Sittwe has just installed a replica radar developed by the Japanese Army, but this long-range warning radar cannot see targets over mountainous areas, so it can only conduct sea surface alert. However, the Japanese troops in the vicinity of the airborne area may have seen the American planes, and the final reaction time of the Yugoslav authorities depends on the Japanese army's own intelligence analysis capabilities.

American tank crews began to run to their own tanks, losing two tanks, and their crews were converted into general combatants. The ground liaison officer immediately informed the rear of the damage, and Stilwell, who was in Chittagong, breathed a sigh of relief. Such losses were far less than his worst-case plans, and he was most afraid that he would not be able to land a single one. Now the second question is whether the enemy will flee in fright. Because the plan was chaotic, the paratroopers could only wait until dawn to drop it.

The six tanks were to march long distances, trying to detour to the designated positions in a few hours and cut off the rebels' retreat. It may also face Japanese armored vehicles from the direction of Sittwe, according to information from Kachin spouts, the Japanese army in Sittwe still has some armored vehicles without local support, most of them from the restored British Wicks armored vehicles.

Keiji Suzuki sat in his office with a blank look on his face and looked at the various contradictory information that had just been gathered, and as time went on, the news that the enemy was moving came in one after another, but none of it was accurate. He roughly judged that the enemy had a conspiracy, but would it be from the sea or from northern Burma? Or you can do it both together. His electronic listening unit could only detect that the enemy's communications had become dense, but could not decipher them in time. The reconnaissance aircraft of the flying divisional regiment made few sorties and almost did not work. But Kimura's command called him every 15 minutes to ask him for an update. He knew that it would be difficult for him to hold on to such a heavy pressure for too long, and he had begun to hesitate to make a hasty judgment and report to the command, and then correct it once he found a new situation? But Commander Kimura is famous for not rubbing sand in his eyes, and when the time comes, he will inevitably call himself to him, and open his bow left and right to reward a few big-eared melon seeds.

Kinoshita hurried to his office, finally giving Suzuki a little hope, he knew that Kinoshita was a reliable person.

"The enemy will not attack from the sea, my men saw several of their gliders landing in our defense zone, at most a company was brought in, and there could be a skirmish, and not a massive landing to seize the coast." Kinoshita Eichi gets straight to the point and tells Suzuki his judgment.

"What's the point of doing something small? This matter is of vital importance, and Commander Kimura is waiting for my report here. ”

"I think it's weird, too, but there's a possibility, whether you've thought about it, that their targets are actually those black people."

"Negroes? Will this have any real military significance? ”

"Maybe it's just for political significance, to get back some face for the Army, and the U.S. Navy will definitely seize this opportunity to make the Army lose face."

Kinoshita analyzes the situation from the perspective of the Japanese, and no matter how far the analysis itself deviates from the facts, the conclusion is good.

"You mean that there won't be a sea attack?"

"Now to launch a naval offensive, Britain and the United States do not have such strength, and even if they have the strength, such an action is not in the interests of the British, why should they send a fleet to help Chu Tingchang? The British would only try to draw Chu Tingchang's attention to the mountains of northern Burma, not to the west coast. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Suzuki couldn't help but nod. Sure enough, Kinoshita is the person recommended by Kagesa, and he still has the analytical ability to clear the clouds.

"You should immediately move the black forces south...... I shrank my forces and dealt a severe blow to the enemy who had landed in the air, without heavy weapons. The commander was willing to believe that the enemy was coming from the sea, so he let him stay here. ”

"Okay, that's it."

The two made a decision immediately, and Kinoshita guessed the general context of the operation, but did not guess that there were tanks in this airborne operation, which was too much for his imagination.

Xu Chong's squad was rapidly advancing on the M22 tank. He drew a route on the map. Second Lieutenant Nixon wanted to ask who had found these routes, but Xu Chong refused to answer, and the Americans had no choice but to accept them. The Japanese troops were approaching all around, and the fact that the tanks had landed could not be concealed for too long, and even if the Japanese did not find traces of the ground tracks, it was easy to find the two damaged tanks.

In the rebel camp, a press conference prepared by the Burmese Front to complain to the international media is underway. The reporters were mainly from the Axis powers, as well as a number of pro-fascist media, including French, Belgian, and Spanish right-wing newspapers, which had long advocated white supremacy, but today they changed their tune and began to hypocritically sympathize with these former blacks.

The entire officer hierarchy of the rebels, sitting neatly on it, each of them had a statement on his own reasons for breaking with the unscrupulous US government, and the reasons for these cases were of course true.

Lieutenant Davis, who was speaking, complained that the U.S. government would only ring out the blacks toiling in the cotton fields and calling them from one hell to another only when it needed cannon fodder.

Davis said his father fought in World War I and was then abandoned by the government. But he did not heed his father's advice and volunteered to join the army. After Pearl Harbor, when he walked into a restaurant in a U.S. Army uniform, he thought he would be respected, but he was still called a. At this, the lieutenant burst into tears, which immediately triggered a burst of flashing lights from the audience. The Spanish journalist was eager to ask the first question. Suddenly, Japanese military police swarmed in from behind the tents. Get everyone out.

The American reconnaissance group, which was observing from the distant mountains, noticed that there was a sudden change in the enemy camp, and everyone got into jeeps and trucks, apparently about to slip away, and the communications corps immediately sent a report to their superiors, but at this time it was getting late, and it was too late to drop the air. At present, the only people who can be put into battle are Ma Qiang's platoon and the tank troops on the road. Chu Tingchang's troops were still 15 kilometers away, and there was at least one day's journey away. The original plan of back-and-forth blocking faced serious challenges.

Ma Qiang received a telegram from Chu Tingchang's headquarters, demanding that the enemy be blocked until the tanks arrived. He had only thirty men here, and he was only on a reconnaissance mission, but now he had to hold off about two hundred and fifty of the enemy, who were trying to escape by car, and had to take the only improvised road.

He immediately separated the Chinese and American forces with Warrant Officer Spears and each defended one side of the road, forming a crossfire. No troops were deployed on the front of the road, except for a 250-pound* unexploded drop by the RAF a few months earlier from the nearby bushes and buried indiscriminately in the middle of the road. Since the Japanese engineering troops had already hardened the pavement of the improvised road, it was not easy to dig a pit, so they hastily covered it with a nickname and gravel, and then replaced the original failed fuse, connected it to the wire, and dragged it to a nearby ambush position.

Ma Qiang didn't know when the tank led by Xu Chong would arrive, he wasn't sure how long he could stop the enemy, his troops were insufficient, and his ammunition was very limited. In addition, he was very worried that the American troops who had not fought would retreat in front of about ten times the enemy, and he could see that most of the American troops seemed to be a little frightened, but Warrant Officer Spears was very excited, and seemed eager to try, and had no intention of fighting at all.

Sure enough, in the evening, the Japanese arrived before the tank units. The first truck of the convoy was carrying reporters from all over the world, and the car slowed down in the hazy night, and only stopped in front of the gravel in the middle of the road, and the driver naturally thought that it was a stone rolling down from the mountain, so he didn't care, of course he couldn't let the reporters come down to move the stones, so he leaned to the side of the road and waited for the soldiers of the second mixed brigade on the second truck. The second truck arrived, and the two trucks were parked side by side a few meters in front of *, and the Japanese soldier jumped out of the car, picked up a shovel and pickaxe, and stepped forward. Only then did the sharp-eyed ones find that the air * wings that were exposed behind the rubble were not hidden. But it was too late.

Ma Qiang pressed down the detonator, and with a loud bang, the first two trucks and dozens of people in the platoon exploded into the sky, and when the burning car fell, it became an excellent roadblock to block the enemy behind.

The Japanese trucks behind stopped one after another, and the Willis jeep behind them also stepped on the brakes. Everyone in the convoy was stunned by the sudden and huge explosion, and they didn't know what was going on. They looked up at the limbs flying in the sky.

An arm, which was smashing into the windshield of Lieutenant Davis' jeep. The lieutenant was a little stunned, and when he opened his mouth wide, he saw a madman with grass on his head rushing to him on the side of the road with a *.

Spears pulled the trigger and fired his 30* shots, killing three people in the jeep before retreating into an improvised bunker on the side of the road. At this time, the Chinese troops on the other side also began to shoot, shooting and killing the Japanese escort troops.

The attack came so suddenly, the attacked Japanese had no idea the number of enemies and the situation they were facing, and the explosion killed the commander of the entire unit, leaving the troops in complete confusion. Flares kept falling from the sky, illuminating the people running in the middle of the road very clearly, their long shadows shaking on the ground, and there was no way to hide. The crossfire on both sides did not leave a dead end for these people to hide.
