have withdrawn on two fronts under

slowed supplies to China and sapped
the strength of the Chinese Army

the British were fighting success

lies on the eYe-U-Mandalay Railroad
just east of the Chindwin River and
so miles west of Mandalay. This
force is protecting the British forces
who are Withdrawing to the north
