The Japanese air strike against Myitkyina, but not only did not complete the task of retaliating against the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, but instead suffered heavy losses. This made Lieutenant General Hidera Ota, the commander of the Japanese 5th Flying Division, angry.

However, because of the loss of thirty-nine aircraft at one time, such heavy losses made him dare not act rashly anymore. Without the cooperation of the ground troops, he could easily fall into the trap of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army without the cooperation of the ground forces. Lieutenant General Obata Hideyoshi knew about this.

If he wants to avenge his revenge now, he can only wait for the arrival of the main force of the Myanmar Front Army.

On the morning of June 22, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi, commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, had already gotten up.

"Bai Jiajun, how effective is the Army Air Force's air strike on the Chinese people?"

"The situation is not good for the division commander. The 5th Flying Division lost a total of forty-six fighter jets. Such losses may make them feel very painful."

"What? Such a huge loss?" Lieutenant General Mutaguchi was also shocked. He never expected that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had such ability, which caused the Japanese and Chinese Army Air Force to suffer a huge loss.

"Yes! No one expected that the Chinese would have such strong combat power." Colonel Bai Jiaximing smiled bitterly.

"It seems that the Chinese people opposite us are very difficult to deal with." Lieutenant General Mutaguchi sighed. He was a little doubtful. How could the army they were facing was such a powerful one? This was the first time they had encountered such an enemy that made them feel so difficult since they fought in Southeast Asia.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese people opposite, are not sure where to end." Suddenly, Taeo Mihashi hurried into the command center and reported to Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryo.

"What's the situation?" Lieutenant General Mutaguchi and Colonel Bai Jiaximing looked at each other.

"His division commander, we sent a squadron to launch a tentative attack in the morning. However, we entered the position of the Chinese people without any blockade. According to reports, there were no Chinese people on the position. They should have withdrawn last night." Taifen Sanhashi reported.

"How could this happen? The Chinese people have obviously successfully blocked us, but also caused our flight division to suffer heavy losses. Why should we take the initiative to retreat?" Mudaguchi Ryo was also a little confused.

"His division commander, the Chinese may be worried that we will have more reinforcements. They know that even if they temporarily block our attack, once our reinforcements arrive, they will definitely not be our opponents. Therefore, they took the initiative to retreat." Taifu Mihashi analyzed.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi nodded. In his opinion, this is the only possibility.

"Bai Jiajun, order the troops to set out immediately and capture Myitkyina." Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya ordered.

Since the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has voluntarily evacuated, of course there is no need for them to stay here. It is better to attack immediately and recover Myitkyina.

The 18th Japanese Division quickly took action and accelerated their march towards Myitkyina. They arrived in Myitkyina just after noon. However, now there are no anti-Japanese and national salvation troops left in Myitkyina. Only some local natives in Myitkyina were left in the city, and even Chinese were missing. Moreover, due to the Japanese bombing yesterday, many buildings in Myitkyina were also blown up, which looked very dilapidated.

"The Chinese have indeed given up here. I sent a telegram to the Front Command, telling them that the Chinese have fled in a panic and that we have taken back Myitkyina." Mudaguchi Riki also ordered. Now he is quite energetic.

"Yes, your division commander." Colonel Bai Jiaximing immediately went to send a telegram.

At this moment, the main force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was dozens of kilometers away from Myitkyina. After leaving last night, they had been rushing on their way. While Japan himself had not yet reacted, they could rush more roads. If Japan himself dispatched planes to bomb them on a large scale, they would have to rush on the way of hiding out at night. In that case, it would be a long time to delay.

Myitkyina is several hundred kilometers away from Morey. Qin Shou hopes to arrive there in mid-July. In this way, if everything goes well, he can start a counterattack against the Japanese army at the end of August.

The Japanese Burmese Front Command is still on the way to march. The radio will only be turned on when the middle of the break. Therefore, it was already 4 pm when Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa received the telegram from the 18th Division.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki was also a little confused about the voluntary evacuation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. After all, in the battlefield in northern Myanmar, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had an absolute advantage. The remaining Japanese troops were suppressed by them and were breathless. At this time, they could completely stick to Myanmar and even find ways to cause greater losses to the Japanese army.

"It seems that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is a very difficult army! They actually realized the crisis in advance and retreated before we arrived." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa was a little disappointed.

If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army continues to stay in Myitkyina, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa would be confident that after their main force arrived, they would be able to solve the other side in one battle. However, now the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has voluntarily withdrawn. It will be very difficult for the Japanese army to eliminate the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

Myanmar says it’s big or small.

Although Aoki Shigemaki led four divisions and three independent mixed brigades to enter Myitkyina this time, the total force was only more than 80,000. In addition, the remaining troops before, there were only more than 100,000. If these troops were sprinkled in Myanmar, they would not be anything at all.

"His Excellency Commander, we can ask the Army Air Force to send planes to find traces of the Chinese people. Then let the 18th Division and the 55th Division pursue. As long as we entangle the Chinese people and persist until our main force arrives, we can defeat them in one fell swoop." Chief of Staff Major General Nakataro Nagataro suggested.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa hesitated for a moment and nodded. He really didn't want the anti-Japanese and national salvation army to escape like this.
