Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki, the commander of the Myanmar Front, is definitely the most tragic one among the many Japanese commanders. The newly formed Myanmar Front suffered heavy damage one after another, and the two divisions were eliminated one after another. This is definitely something the Japanese army had never suffered in this war.

This also put Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki under tremendous pressure. Although the commander of the Southern Army, General Soichi Teraunuchi, did not express much. But it can be foreseen that if Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki was unable to change the situation in Myanmar for a long time, he would definitely deal with Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki.

At the beginning, the reason why the Myanmar Front was formed was to deal with the bad situation in Myanmar, ensure that the Japanese army could fully control Myanmar, and use Myanmar as a base to attack India. However, now it seems that the situation is getting worse and worse.

Of course, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki was also very frustrated. The main force he led had not arrived in Myanmar at all. The battle situation in Myanmar was even more out of reach. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was too cunning, which led to the Japanese army's defeat.

Now, there are only two Japanese divisions left in Myanmar. If the British or Chinese Expeditionary Forces launch an attack on Myanmar again, how could they resist it with those two divisions alone? Even the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army may be difficult for them to resist.

As a last resort, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemachi had no choice but to order the 18th Division and the 56th Division to stop the pursuit of the Japanese National Salvation Army and stand by on the spot. He himself led the main force of the Myanmar Front Army to speed up to Myanmar. He hoped to rush to Myanmar as soon as possible, and then eliminate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, stabilize the situation in Myanmar, and then develop towards India step by step.

This also enables the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to travel to Morey in western Myanmar without any interference to receive US military equipment.

However, Myanmar's poor traffic level also made the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army sad about the road to Morey. The roads in some places are completely narrow dirt roads. In addition, the rain in Myanmar is relatively sufficient. Once it rains, the roads become very muddy. The soldiers had to march deep and shallowly on the muddy roads. Many equipment was trapped in the mud pit.

Especially the 105mm howitzers of the artillery regiment can easily fall into mud pits. This is the artillery regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, which gave up the 150mm howitzers. Otherwise, their marching would become very difficult.

Even so, Qin Shou was so upset.

"Brothers, use your strength!" A company commander of an artillery company commanded his officers and soldiers to push a 105mm howitzer out of the mud pit. However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to pull out the two-ton cannon from the mud pit with only manpower.

Qin Shou happened to see this scene when he took the people by.

"Huzi, take people to help those brothers." Qin Shou ordered.

"Okay, commander." Guard Chen Hu immediately took a group of guards to help the artillery soldiers.

With the efforts of everyone, the cannon was finally pulled out of the mud pit. However, he didn't go far and fell into another mud pit, which made Qin Shou speechless.

"We can't continue like this, otherwise our marching speed will be greatly restricted." Qin Shou's expression was solemn.

"Hu Zi, go and find Yu Fei, the commander of the artillery regiment."

"Yes, commander!"

Half an hour later, Yu Fei, the commander of the artillery regiment, appeared in front of Qin Shou.

"Captain!" Yu Fei saluted.

"Old Yu, it's not easy to take these big guys away." Qin Shou looked at the cannon trapped in the mud pit.

Yu Fei was stunned and immediately replied: "Captain, please rest assured. We will definitely catch up with the speed of the troops and will never drag us back!"

Obviously, Yu Fei understood what Qin Shou meant.

"Old Yu, forget it. The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come. When we arrive in Morey, the Americans will give us more cannons, which is a whole artillery brigade! The American cannons are also more advanced than the Japanese cannons. There is no need to waste too much time for these cannons." Qin Shou shook his head. Although his voice was not heavy, his tone revealed an unquestionable smell.

"Captain, brothers have finally got so many cannons. It would be a pity to give up now. Everyone is reluctant to let it go." Yu Fei, a seven-foot man, couldn't help but red when he thought of giving up these cannons.

"Well, Lao Yu. I can understand. However, you have to do your best to your brothers. Giving up these cannons now does not mean that we will disband the artillery. When we arrive in Morey, we will also use the cannons supported by the Americans to build more powerful artillery."

"Yes, commander." Yu Fei nodded.

Afterwards, Yu Fei summoned the battalion commander of the artillery regiment to inform them of the situation. When he heard that he wanted to give up their cannons, many people clearly expressed their opposition.

However, after Yu Fei patiently did the work, they all expressed their understanding.

In the afternoon of that day, the Artillery Regiment blew up all 36 105mm howitzers. When the sound of the bombs was heard, many officers and soldiers of the Artillery Regiment left tears, and even some people burst into tears.

However, after giving up these cannons, the artillery regiment was able to go into battle lightly and its speed increased a lot. This also accelerated the speed of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army's journey to Morey.

If it were the most troubled person on the entire Southeast Asian battlefield, it would probably be one person, that is, Lieutenant General of the United States Army and Joseph Stilwell.

Lieutenant General Stilwell is now the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, the commander-in-chief of the US military in the China-Myanmar-Indian theater, the deputy commander of the Southeast Asian Allied Command, the commander of the Chinese army in India, and the head of the distribution of US aid to China. He is a high-ranking position.

However, the British and expeditionary forces suffered a crushing defeat in Myanmar, which caused the entire Myanmar to fall into the hands of the Japanese army. The Yunnan-Burma Highway was completely cut off, and the United States' military supplies to China could only be piled in India and could not be transported in at all. This would undoubtedly make the situation in China further deteriorate.

At the same time, Myanmar's fall into the hands of the Japanese army means that the entire Southeast Asia has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese army can not only use Southeast Asia's resources, but also develop more powerfully. It also directly poses a threat to India. Once the Japanese army invades India, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now, Lieutenant General Stilwell is very troubled, and he urgently needs to find a way to reverse the current unfavorable situation. Otherwise, if the United States distrusts his abilities, his career will probably end here. And this is definitely something that Lieutenant General Stilwell cannot accept.
