After the occupation of Myanmar, the world situation began to change. On May 7, 1942, the Japanese Navy was frustrated for the first time and was forced to give up its strategic goal of attacking the Port of Moresby, New Guinea. A month later, the Japanese and American navy launched the Midway naval battle on the Hawaiian ocean. Japan suffered a decisive defeat and began to lose its naval and air superiority in the Pacific. From August 1942 to 2943, the Japanese and American troops launched the Battle of Guadalcanal for half a year, and the Japanese army ended in a disastrous defeat. At this point, the Japanese army completely lost its strategic initiative on the Pacific battlefield. Then Japan formulated a "national absolute national defense circle" with retreat and defense as the main focus, and moved into a comprehensive strategic defensive situation in the Pacific.

When the situation in World War II began to turn, the loss of Myanmar, an important base in the Allied Asian Pacific battlefield, had a huge impact on the overall strategy of the Allied countries. The cut-off of the Myanmar route caused China, which entered the sixth year of the arduous war of resistance, to lose the only land route to obtain military aid from the Allied countries. Although the air transport of the Hump route was still in progress, the number was very limited. The Japanese occupied Myanmar and opened the door to attack India, and Britain and India were in danger. The fall of Myanmar also increased the United States' military pressure in the Pacific and the burden of air transport on the Hump route. All this forced the Allied countries to consider the strategic plan of counterattacking Myanmar. China took the lead in proposing a strategic plan to counterattack Myanmar from the overall situation of the world anti-fascist war and opening up international channels, and obtaining materials for aiding China to adhere to the purpose of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Britain was not the case. He was not willing to become a great power. He was on an equal footing with the British Empire, nor did he want to see the Chinese army enter Myanmar again, sowing the seeds of "anti-British-British-British China" and promoting the unity of Asians. Therefore, Britain not only had a negative attitude towards the counterattack of Myanmar, but also obstructed it from multiple parties, resulting in a counterattack of Myanmar. After a year of consultations, plans were repeatedly set and changed. The scope was narrowing and the actions were delayed step by step.

From the Casablanca Conference to the Cairo Conference, the Tehran Conference, the allies repeatedly discussed the combat plan of counterattacking Myanmar, and at the same time they continued to repeat this plan. It was reasonable for China to be unwilling to easily attack northern Myanmar alone when the British and American navies canceled their maritime landings to cut off the Japanese transportation lines. However, in order to implement the plan agreed by the allies, China formed the Chinese army in India and the Chinese Expeditionary Force. It also cooperated with the United States to conduct serious assembly and training.

Just as the United States, Britain and China repeatedly studied and changed their plans many times, Wu Ming led more than 500 people from the ranger team that had been trained and stepped back into the jungle, entered the Wild Man Mountain, and penetrated and penetrated into the temple.

Hukang River Valley, in Burmese, is the general term for the Daluo Basin and the New Pingyang Basin, with a total of about 2.8,000 square miles. All are primeval forests. Except for the four major rivers of Dalong, Danai, Dayuan, Dabi. The rivers are intricate and intertwined, and flooded in the rainy season. It is difficult to navigate. Therefore, Hukang region is known as a Jedi in the rainy season. Small roads can be used for traffic during the dry season, and rivers can also be traversed, but the mountains are steep and dense, and the sun is not visible, making it difficult to use troops. The north of Hukang River Valley is 100 square kilometers in a radius of 7,000 feet above sea level.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army commanded by Lieutenant General Tanaka Shin-1, with a total of 3.2 troops. Ace troops, famous for their stubbornness, participated in the attack on Shanghai and Nanjing, and were one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. In 1938, it went south to land at Dapeng Bay, Guangdong, and entered the land to attack Nanning. In 1940, it was transferred to the Nanyang area for special training in jungle battlefields. It occupied Vietnam in 1941, entered Thailand, and swept across Malaya. The following year, it created a miracle in Singapore that forced the 8.5 British troops to surrender with more than 3 people, and then entered Myanmar operations. The long-term experience in tropical jungle combat made it the beautiful name of "King of Jungle Combat".

"The Japanese army in front of us is called the king of jungle combat. Are you afraid?" Wu Ming looked at the members of the Rangers with a smile.

"Damn, Japanese radish heads dare to be king. Could it be that they will grow taller after eating Burmese rice?" Tan Zheng cursed with an indignation.

"It's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and hang it." Fu Lijun sneered and said, "Last time we went to Myanmar, we didn't have a few battles. This time we will snatch the title of the king of the jungle from the Japanese."

Wu Ming looked at the recruits with a smile, "They rely on their seniority and can brag. Don't answer them and tell me what you think."

"Boss, let's fight the Japanese, there is no question of whether we are afraid or not." Xiao Minghua stood up and said with some dissatisfaction: "Our weapons are better than Japanese. Isn't training better than Japanese? Are you doubting your ability?"

"Haha, I asked wrong." Wu Ming smiled slightly, "Training is different from actual combat. Don't be too confident, and don't belittle yourself. Let's start with the fight from a young age, so you new recruits will see the blood."

"New recruits?" Liu Cheng bitched with some dissatisfaction.

"Do you think you are all veterans?" Liu Hemei stretched out her hand and was shocked. "They have never seen blood, and those who have never killed anyone are all new recruits."

Wu Ming led his team to follow the old road through the Wild Man Mountain and came to the original Wild Man Mountain village. Here they received airdrop supplies and supplemented sufficient supplies. American planes also threw down aerial photography photos. At this time, for this high-tech reconnaissance method, most of the national army generals and staff members could not interpret the aerial photography photos, so they could not catch the fighter plane and adjust the deployment in time.

"You all come and have a look." Wu Ming reached out and greeted several overseas Chinese team leaders. "This kind of reconnaissance method is very special and effective. The key is that it is fast and everyone has to learn it."

Tan Zheng pursed his lips. Although he didn't say anything, he disagreed with Wu Ming's special enthusiasm for taking care of these overseas Chinese team members.

"This should be the enemy's command center, this should be the artillery position, this should be the warehouse, and this should be the experience. When you look at this kind of aerial photography for the first time, you will inevitably be unable to tell what is. Look more and ask more, and maybe it will be useful in the future! This kind of thing is not popular yet, and the Japanese do not know how to use fake targets to confuse us. But everyone should be clear about it. There are also methods to deal with this aerial reconnaissance, such as assuming fake targets, fake positions, and high technology are also flawed." Wu Ming pointed to the photo and explained in detail to cadres at all levels.
