Being shot down over the dense jungle made survival difficult. The British Army and British Indian Army were not ready for offensive actions in the difficult terrain they encountered, nor had the civil government, industry and transport infrastructure of Eastern India been organised to support the Army on the frontier with Burma. Panglong, a Chinese Muslim town in British Burma, was entirely destroyed by the Japanese invaders in their invasion of Burma. On 22 February, the bridge was demolished to prevent its capture, a decision that has since been extremely contentious. The Japanese forces in the North were now fighting on two fronts in northern Burma. The China Burma India Theater American-trained Chinese X Force led to cooperation between the two countries, but the clashing strategies proposed by "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell and Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek would lead to Stilwell's eventual removal from his position as American Commander of the theater. [41] The Japanese 33rd Division likewise halted on the Chindwin at the end of May, ending the campaign until the end of the monsoon rains. Under British Fourteenth Army, the Indian XV Corps prepared to renew the advance in Arakan province, while IV Corps launched a tentative advance from Imphal in the centre of the long front to distract Japanese attention from the other offensives. The Arakan Campaign of 1942–43 was the first tentative Allied attack into Burma, following the Japanese conquest of Burma earlier in 1942, during the Second World War. On most parts of the front, roads and other lines of communications had to be improved or built from scratch before attacks could be considered, a task w… They damaged communications of the Japanese in northern Burma, cutting the railway for possibly two weeks but they suffered heavy casualties.

Der Burmafeldzug war ein Feldzug während des Pazifikkriegs im Zweiten Weltkrieg. On the eastern part of the front, in the Battle of Yunnan-Burma Road, the Chinese 200th Division held up the Japanese for a time around Toungoo, but after its fall the road was open for motorised troops of the Japanese 56th Division to shatter the Chinese Sixth Army to the east in the Karenni States and advance northward through the Shan States to capture Lashio, outflanking the Allied defensive lines and cutting off the Chinese armies from Yunnan. Landing craft had now reached the theatre, and XV Corps launched amphibious attacks on the Myebon peninsula on 12 January 1945 and at Kangaw ten days later during the Battle of Hill 170 to cut off the retreating Japanese. In early March three other brigades were flown into landing zones behind Japanese lines by the Royal Air Force and the USAAF and established defensive strongholds around Indaw. Both Bose and Mutaguchi emphasised the advantages which would be gained by a successful attack into India. The attackers were initially halted by a strong defensive position behind a dry waterway, but a flanking move by tanks and mechanised infantry struck the Japanese from the rear and shattered them. This later led some to question the decision to blow the bridge, arguing that the river itself did not offer much of an obstacle to the Japanese, and that more harm than good was achieved, as it resulted in the stranding of two brigades and delayed the Japanese capture of Rangoon by ten days at most. The dropping of the atomic bombs forestalled this operation, but it was undertaken post-war as the quickest way of getting occupation troops into Malaya. To cover this break-out, Kimura ordered Thirty-Third Army to mount a diversionary offensive across the Sittang, although the entire army could muster the strength of barely a regiment. The lack of transport infrastructure placed an emphasis on military engineering and air transport to move and supply troops, and evacuate wounded.

XXXIII Corps had renewed its attack on Mandalay. Troops of the 17th Indian Infantry Division tried to retreat over the Sittaung River, but Japanese parties reached the vital bridge before they did. They broke off the attack and retreated to Pyawbwe. The British Civil Government of Burma had meanwhile fallen back to Myitkyina in Northern Burma, accompanied by many British, Anglo-Indian and Indian civilians.

Burma Corps managed to make it most of the way to Imphal, in Manipur in India, just before the monsoon broke in May 1942, having lost most of their equipment and transport. Hundreds of men drowned trying to cross the swollen Sittang on improvised bamboo floats and rafts. The Japanese launched several offensives during the month, which were repulsed. The leading troops of IV Corps and XXXIII Corps met at Milestone 109 on the Dimapur-Imphal road on 22 June, and the siege of Imphal was raised. The position was almost impossible to defend, and had the River Salween, almost 1.5 miles (2.4 km) wide, behind it.

They began by striking at a Japanese delaying position (held by the remnants of the Japanese Thirty-Third Army) at Pyawbwe. The division eventually retreated toward the bridge over the Sittang River in general disorder.

However, that view usually comes from people who have only looked at dust- smeared and stowage-covered vehicles in black and white photos. The leading troops of the 17th and 26th Indian divisions met at Hlegu, 28 miles (45 km) north of Rangoon, on 6 May. [citation needed], The Japanese also made major changes in their command. The Japanese Twenty-Eighth Army, after withdrawing from Arakan and resisting XXXIII Corps in the Irrawaddy valley, had retreated into the Pegu Yomas, a range of low jungle-covered hills between the Irrawaddy and Sittang rivers. When they arrived they discovered that Kimura had ordered Rangoon to be evacuated, starting on 22 April. Burmese guerrillas and bandits killed stragglers east of the river. The geographical characteristics of the region meant that weather, disease and terrain had a major effect on operations. A new corps, the Indian XXXIV Corps, under Lieutenant-General Ouvry Lindfield Roberts was raised and assigned to Fourteenth Army for further operations. Preview. [37] The majority of the refugees at Myitkyina were forced to make their way to India via the unhealthy Hukawng Valley and the precipitous forested Patkai Range. IV Corps, under Lieutenant-General Geoffry Scoones, had pushed forward two divisions to the Chindwin River. The military and political results of the Burma campaign have been contentious to historians. Recognising that most of his formations were weak and short of equipment, he withdrew his forces behind the Irrawaddy River, forcing the Allies to greatly extend their lines of communication. [16] Pressure for independence was growing. American forces under Fleet Admiral Chester W.

The 2nd Burma Brigade was squeezed into a progressively tighter perimeter, and eventually retreated over the river by ferry on 31 January after abandoning a large amount of supplies and equipment. On 7 March, the Burma Army evacuated Rangoon after implementing a scorched earth plan to deny the Japanese the use of its facilities. The town was captured in four days, despite resistance to the last man. The Japanese 31st Division's thrust at Kohima had been a costly failure, eventually forcing it to a disastrous retreat.

The Japanese division advanced to Moulmein at the mouth of the Salween River which was garrisoned by the 2nd Burma Infantry Brigade. XV Corps operations on the mainland were curtailed to release transport aircraft to support Fourteenth Army. The remaining Chinese troops tried to return to Yunnan through remote mountainous forests but many died on the way. The 1st Burma Division was cut off and trapped in the blazing oilfields at Yenangyaung, which the Allies themselves demolished to deny the facilities to the Japanese. Starving refugees, disorganised stragglers, and the sick and wounded clogged the primitive roads and tracks leading to India. [citation needed], On the eastern part of the front, in the Battle of Yunnan-Burma Road, the Chinese 200th Division held up the Japanese for a time around Toungoo, but after its fall the road was open for motorised troops of the Japanese 56th Division to shatter the Chinese Sixth Army to the east in the Karenni States and advance northward through the Shan States to capture Lashio, outflanking the Allied defensive lines and cutting off the Chinese armies from Yunnan.
