It should be said that the Galahad interspersed troops are going very smoothly, thanks to the fact that pre-war intelligence has been done very well.

It fully reflects the differences between China and the United States during the march:

The US military began to abandon equipment after the third day of the march... This would be normal for an ordinary US military. After all, the Americans didn't care about equipment. In addition to thinking that life is more important than equipment, many people also think that carrying too much equipment in such a difficult marching is also unnecessary. They have not encountered the Japanese army along the way. Then marching with guns is better than marching empty-handed. At worst, just wait for airdropping equipment when encountering the Japanese army.

However, this is the US military's raider unit, a special force with professional jungle warfare training... The special force also performs in the jungle, which shows how professional the US military is in jungle warfare.

Chinese soldiers are different, although the training in Sun Brabing also tells Chinese soldiers that their lives are more important than equipment... This sentence is empty talk for most Chinese soldiers, because in domestic shortage of materials, equipment is always more important than life.

For the Americans, it can be produced in a few minutes if they lose a machine gun, but for the Chinese, throwing a machine gun may mean losing a position and sacrificing dozens or even more soldiers, so it is absolutely worth it to exchange the lives of one or several soldiers for a machine gun.

Of course, this rule may not be suitable for Expeditionary Force soldiers under the logistics of the US military, but this does not mean that the Expeditionary Force will also abandon equipment. They all know that the equipment in their hands is a life-saving thing in wartime, so they find it strange to see the US military's actions of throwing guns.

Moreover, the US Galahad troops are well-equipped, and the equipment they throw away is often submachine guns, machine guns and even mortars. The Chinese troops are reluctant to let these things go like this, so the US troops are often in the front and pick up the Chinese troops. The degree of equipment of the Chinese troops is different.

The entire combat situation developed completely according to Stilwell's idea. The New First Division and the New 22nd Division fought with the Japanese army in front. Both divisions were using a large number of shells to advance layer by layer. Although the advancement was slow, they successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and the interspersed troops were smoothly interspersed in the jungle.

At this time, Stilwell received another great news. All the Japanese planes at Bamo Airport had been withdrawn.

The news came from a crew of the Sino-US mixed air force. The captain was American, the radio operator and the navigator were Chinese. Once when they were transporting materials between China and India, they chatted on the plane: There was no Japanese plane coming to intercept them for a long time.

The Chinese radio operator said: "The Japanese planes must be fighting on other routes, so they can't care about us!"

The Chinese navigator responded too much: "Maybe all the Japanese planes have been withdrawn!"

The American captain likes to bet, so he responded: "Impossible. I bet that the Japanese planes must have not withdrawn!"

"Go and bet!" Several Chinese people came to the American captain without being outdone.

It was originally a matter of strife. But American pilots were recruited temporarily. They had a personality and drove planes for money. When they became stubborn, they completely ignored the route and professional ethics. They drove the plane to Bamo...

Several Chinese crew members laughed behind him: This American is so stupid. If he loses a bet, he will have to pay. If he wins a bet, it means that the Japanese army will have the opportunity to intercept it. He will definitely lose his life and win or lose!

However, the Chinese crew members did the opposite: if you win the bet, you can get the line. If you lose the bet, you will lose your life and you don’t have to pay any more. The winner and lose will be worth it.

But the Chinese crew were still a little scared because they couldn't believe that the American captain really dared to drive the transport plane over Bamo and turned it around twice...

The American captain looked at the empty airport below and the sky where no enemy plane took off and intercepted it. He unwilling to give the money and drove the plane back... He never expected that if there were really Japanese fighter jets, his life would be over.

The bet spread quickly and then it reached Stilwell's ears.

Stilwell didn't even believe this information, but after sending a reconnaissance plane to reconnaissance, it was found that the truth was indeed... This means that the Chinese and American coalition forces can seize Bamo's air supremacy without any effort.

So Stilwell thought of another way to increase troops from Bamo... using interspersed troops to occupy and control Bamo Airport, and then the transport plane would take a large amount of equipment and soldiers to use Bamo Airport to land.

The reason for aircraft landing was that only the Galahad troops could be airborne, while the Chinese troops at this time had no paratroopers.

This strategic concept is indeed very good because it can quickly fill in troops and equipment.

Stilwell did exactly that. He asked the 113th Regiment of the New 38th Division to return to Myitkyina immediately and prepared a large number of transport aircraft and prepared for aircraft landing operations... This was the first practical aircraft landing operation in the history of the Chinese troops.

The plan went smoothly.

The interlude troops arrived at the outskirts of Bamo on the fifteenth day, and then the Sino-US joint forces immediately launched an attack on Bamo.

The Japanese army had never expected that the Sino-US joint army and tank-equipped troops would suddenly appear behind more than 100 kilometers. They were caught off guard. The airport was soon occupied by the Sino-US joint forces and seized a large amount of supplies.

Colonel Brown, who was commanding on the front line, immediately sent a telegram to Davids of "The Venetian Merchant".

The "Venetian Merchant" was the code that the airport could be successfully occupied and the aircraft could be landed, so a large number of transport planes were transported to Bamo with full loads of soldiers.

At this time, it should be said that Bamo had already pinched the snail with three fingers. Even after Bamo took it, the two Japanese regiments deployed north of Bamo would face the dilemma of being surrounded.

But David, who only had American tactics and textbooks in his head, made a series of mistakes.

The first mistake was that most of the equipment that had airborne to Bamo was air-drifted with transport planes and anti-aircraft machine guns...Davids thought that Japanese fighters would soon be put into battle, and these equipment would help the US military fighter force to seize air supremacy.

At this time, the US military had a theory that whoever obtained air supremacy would win the war. So theoretically, this is not wrong. It’s just that the Japanese army did not invest a combat power in Bamo from beginning to end, so these anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns did not play a role at all.

The second mistake was that he thought Bamo had only a small amount of Japanese defense, so he did not invest all his troops and only used one Chinese infantry regiment to attack Bamo city.)
