About This Novel
The book "Veterans' Oral Narrations of the War of Resistance ③: Expedition to Burma" connects the process of this war through the narrations and memories of many veterans who personally visited the India-Burma battlefield. In December 1941, the Japanese army launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and then spent two months occupying a large area of Southeast Asia and cutting off the Burma Highway. The last channel connecting China to the outside world was blocked. In March 1942, China's 100,000-strong expeditionary force went abroad to fight. However, due to disjointed command and poor intelligence, the expeditionary force suffered a comprehensive defeat and had to withdraw from Myanmar. A few months later, most of the expeditionary force returned to China, and a small number withdrew to India. A year later, China reorganized its expeditionary force and divided its troops into two groups to launch a counterattack in the India-Burma battlefield. The New First Army in the northern Myanmar battlefield won consecutive victories, and the expeditionary force in the counterattack in western Yunnan also successively won victories in the Tengchong, Songshan, and Longling battles. In the end, the two Chinese expeditionary forces successfully joined forces.
