If they had to worry about the friendly forces in the village, Jamie's aviation squadron would probably be able to razor the entire village to the ground in the first round of bombing. However, even if they did not use all their strength, more than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed, and almost not many Japanese soldiers entered the village head ran out alive.

The Japanese attacking troops fled in panic. The bomb was like hail, and it was like a pit like a basketball court when it exploded. Who would dare to continue attacking in such an environment?

But the fighter jets on their heads didn't want to let them go. This time, a total of 18 F4U pirate fighters were dispatched. Each fighter carried two 250 kilograms of high-explosion aviation bombs under the wings and hundreds of machine gun bullets. It would be reasonable to give these things to the Japanese.

The Japanese army fled back in groups, but became an excellent target on the open ground without any cover. Each fighter plane roared down like an eagle hunting in the air. The large-caliber machine cannon swept through a barrage, leaving a large trench on the ground like an iron plow. All the Japanese hit were cut off their hands and feet, which were terrible...

The scene in front of him made the Japanese commander very angry. He was about to destroy the Chinese team, but he failed to accept that the opponent's fighter jet bombed.

"Damn it... Let the troops retreat into the woods three kilometers away, inform Mitela's Kawashima Brigade to pay attention to air defense..."

"Hey! Your Excellency Colonel, do we... still want to continue attacking?" The adjutant looked at him curiously.

"Stay on standby, the Chinese people's planes cannot be there all the time..."

The Japanese commander frowned and kept thinking, and he didn't want to give up the victory that was within his reach: "Let's do this, gather the troops and retreat temporarily, let the Kawashima Brigade approach our headquarters immediately, and launch an attack tonight!"

Their troops were divided into two groups at the beginning, surrounding the remnants of the transportation regiment and capturing Mitela. Now they have suffered heavy casualties. If they still want to attack, they can only let the other brigade come to support them.

"Sikashi... Isn't it there..."

The adjutant wanted to speak but stopped. The corps captain made this decision, which showed that he was ready to give up the captured Mitela and instead concentrated his troops to attack the Chinese troops here.

"The Chinese here are nothing more than a lonely army. The corps captain. In fact, there is no need for us to compete with them..." The sober adjutant finally couldn't help but remind him.

"Yumi なやつ!" The captain of the regiment interrupted him without hesitation, pointed at the village and scolded him angrily:

"How could we just let them go after such a big loss? And... What does the Chinese people care about the troops inside so much? What does it mean? Stupid things!"

"Hey!" The adjutant had to lower his head and be scolded. He, a little master, shouldn't have questioned the superior's resolution. It was already good if he didn't get slapped in the face.

The captain of the regiment snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the sky again. The damn fighter plane was still showing off its power in the air. They lacked air defense power and had no choice but to use the other party. They had limited troops and could not take the people up regardless of the casualties. They were so frustrated.

I hope Kawashima Brigade will be better after coming here. These fighter jets cannot be on standby 24 hours a day. I hope there will be no more trouble. As long as the night comes, I will definitely be able to take down the village in one go!

But as the saying goes, when the house is leaking, the more you worry about things, the more likely it will happen... Just as the captain was still thinking about the next offensive strategy, the correspondent brought a very serious news.

"Report to the Colonel, you just received a request from Kawashima Brigade to tactical guidance. They were surrounded by the enemy and were fighting with them at this moment, but the situation was not good..."

"Nani!?" The corps leader was shocked and widened his eyes and asked, "Where did the enemy army come from? The Chinese can mobilize troops and are hundreds of kilometers away from here. It is impossible to arrive so quickly!"

"Hi... The telegram shows that several mysterious troops suddenly appeared in the north of Mitela. They had extremely strong firepower and had completely surrounded Mitela in the offensive situation in three routes. There were also US fighter jets bombing in the sky. Captain Kawashima... has been broken. Now the troops are commanded by the first squadron leader Major Jiro Hikawa, and the situation is very dangerous."

The correspondent soldier's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the team leader's heart. What was going on?

...

At the same time, the former Japanese city defense headquarters of Mandalay... has now been changed to the Allied Operations Conference Command Center. General Stilwell, who has been "disappearing" since he came out of the Heihe Base, is sitting comfortably in it, and even holding a cigarette in his mouth to suck the clouds and mist.

As the only large city in central Myanmar, Mandalay's importance is self-evident. Liao Mingyu sent people to renovate several airports and some military facilities here early.

Although not too many troops were placed, this place was also an extremely important air force base and logistics transfer station in the rear. Most of the materials transported from India were stored here.

The office door was pushed open and a blond American military major walked in:

"Report to the general, the Mairel Detachment has completed its preliminary combat mission. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th teams have all been airborne to the target area to launch an attack on the Japanese army. The 3rd, 5th, and 6th teams departing from the railway line have also arrived in the Misha area and are hiking to the vicinity of Xigao Village. It is expected to arrive at the battlefield in three hours."

The major spread out the folder and delivered the information to Stilwell. His beautiful big eyes looked at the other party without blinking and waiting for instructions.

Stilwell looked at the contents of the report briefly and asked softly: "Is the transport aircraft formation back?"

"Three squadrons returned to the Mandalay foundation, and the remaining two squadrons chose to land at Heihe Airport for fuel reasons."

The major answered truthfully, and seemed to suddenly remember something while speaking, and quickly added: "The Chinese general sent a message to you and Brigadier General Mairrell to express his sincerest thanks, and he said that he would come here in person to express himself later."

Upon hearing this, Stilwell's smile became stronger and he couldn't help but laugh: "This guy who is above the top finally knows how modest he is? Haha... Now he understands that other troops can also defeat the Japanese in a mess!"

It turned out that before the battle to the south began, Stilwell came to the Mitela Logistics Station from the Heihe Base. After seeing the weak defensive force here, he immediately reported the situation to Liao Mingyu.

After all, Mitela is too close to the front line, and it is really unsafe to have so many supplies placed here, but Liao Mingyu also expressed great difficulty because there are no more troops to deploy, so this arrangement is helpless.

For his own safety reasons, Stilwell was unwilling to stay here for more time, so he led his men to Mandalay again. It happened that the reconstruction of the new city was being organized here. So after discussing with Liao Mingyu, he arranged the Allied Frontier Command Post in Mandalay.

The lack of staff in the front line troops has always been a problem. Stilwell has also tried his best to solve this problem. As early as three days ago, he issued an order to the Air Force Transportation Force to use transport planes to transfer the Mairel detachment, which was still training and repairing in Impal, India, to Mandalay.

This commando team composed of American mercenaries was born for jungle combat. The members were experienced veterans and their combat effectiveness was pretty good.

Although it is a US military force, except for the commander Brigadier General Frank Mairrell, none of the soldiers in this force are Americans. Most of them come from Central and American countries, such as Guatemala, Panama and other countries, and even some Chinese and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.

The way to join the army was also volunteered, which means that all the soldiers who joined this force were actually not protected by the United States. They traveled thousands of miles to fight the Japanese invaders, more because of their hatred for the Japanese invaders.

The commando was divided into six operation teams, with a total of about 3,000 people. The Mairel Detachment was also considered to have made great achievements in the original time and space. In more than a year in northern Myanmar, the Mair Detachment fought more than 30 battles in all major battles, effectively delaying the speed of the Japanese army from northern Myanmar. It made the Japanese army stationed in Myanmar day and night.

What is admirable is that at that time, the Mai Detachment and a total of 6,000 troops stationed in India were confronted with the 56th Division stationed in Myitkyina. Facing the enemy's tight fortifications, they did not retreat at all. Finally, they conquered Myitkyina with the support of Chinese and American reinforcements.

But almost all the soldiers of the Mai Detachment were killed, and only a very small number survived. These survivors were awarded honorary awards marked "Mythieut" and the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, demonstrating their brave performance in this battle.

Although the Mai Detachment was almost completely defeated, it was largely because of the commander's reason, their fearlessness and sacrifice are worthy of recognition.

After the end of World War II, Mai's Detachment was renamed the Rapid Reaction Force and became a trump card in the hands of the US Army. Today's Rangers were developed based on Mai's Detachment.

This time, because of the wings of Liao Mingyu's "butterfly", the Mairel Detachment, which was almost wiped out in the Myitkyina Battle, was able to completely preserve the organization and returned to Impal after the war to receive equipment updates.

Stilwell can now have only this army. In order to make his combat effectiveness stronger, he specifically asked Liao Mingyu after the Battle of Mandalay, wanting to ask the latter what unique training methods he had.

Liao Mingyu did not hide anything. He focused on the nature of the Mai Detachment and collected a large number of special forces training content, including airborne, guerrilla, intersecting enemy rears, precise guidance and strikes, and also sent Dong Dao's Falcon Squad to Impal for training.

By chance, when they flew from Impal to Mandalay, the news that the transport regiment was ambushed and besieged by Xigao Village happened to be delivered to Stilwell. He simply used the trick and asked the transport aircraft formation to airborne the Mai Detachment and the Falcon Squad directly to the vicinity of Mitela.
