Chief Yan held a banquet at the residence and warmly entertained Yue Weihan and his entourage. He expressed great appreciation and admiration for Yue Weihan's generous trip to Myanmar and wished Yue Weihan a great victory.

Yue Weihan stayed at Yan Mansion until six o'clock in the evening before taking a bus to Taiyuan Airport.

At this time, the Japanese army should not have equipped its troops with night fighters, so it should be safe at night.

Necessary security measures are still needed. It is such a big thing that Yue Weihan is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the India-Burma Expeditionary Force.

The flying group of the Southern Army had conducted several air battles with the Flying Tigers, but the result was a disastrous defeat.

The Japanese base camp and the Southern Army Headquarters are both puzzled by this. In terms of aircraft performance, the Zero fighter just equipped by the Southern Army Flying Group is obviously better than the P-40 fighter equipped by the Flying Tigers. In terms of the quality of the pilots, the Southern Army

The pilots of the Military Flying Group are all veteran pilots drawn from the Kwantung Army and the North and Central China Front Armies. Their rich flying experience is by no means comparable to the rookie pilots of the Flying Tigers who obviously lack actual combat experience. However, the Southern Army
