Скачать или смотреть Japan Planned to Capture India in One Week — Until They Met the British War Machine

In 1944 Japan launched Operation U-Go—a march through Burma’s mountains to seize Imphal and Kohima, then roll into India. General Renya Mutaguchi promised victory in weeks; his officers warned the rice would not last.

Across the hills, William Slim rebuilt the British-Indian Army and wagered on a new weapon: air supply. C-47 Dakotas fed besieged garrisons while monsoon mud swallowed roads. At Kohima’s infamous tennis court, trenches were so close men heard each other breathe. Starvation overtook the attackers; units charged and collapsed mid-stride.

When Kotoku Sato defied orders to keep attacking, the retreat became a Road of Bones back to the Chindwin River. On 22 June, the British struck—artillery and tanks pulverized positions held by soldiers down to a few rounds per man. By July, fewer than 20,000 of the 100,000 who marched toward Delhi could still fight. Imphal–Kohima proved a brutal truth of modern war: courage without supply is a death sentence, and logistics decide empires.
