Chinese Expeditionary Force: Complete Oral Records of Soldiers Participating in the Yunnan, India and Burma War
About This Novel
From 1942 to 1944, in order to protect the Burma Highway, the Chinese government sent nearly 300,000 troops into Myanmar twice to fight the Japanese invaders. After paying the price of more than 100,000 casualties, the Chinese government completely annihilated the Japanese troops in Myanmar. In this battle, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's counterattack was successful and brilliant. It re-opened international transportation lines, allowing international aid supplies to be transported into China; it drove the Japanese army out of China's southwest gate, opening the prelude to the counterattack against Japan on the frontal battlefield; it suppressed and severely damaged the Japanese army in northern Burma and western Yunnan, creating favorable conditions for the Allied forces to recover all of Burma. Most of the narrators in this book are soldiers who participated in the war, and their oral accounts comprehensively restore the history of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
