It is one of the large-scale battles of the Second Sino-Japanese War, located in the border area between Yunnan Province, China and northern Myanmar, starting at the beginning of December 1943.

At the cost of more than 80,000 casualties, the Allies claimed to have killed more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers,[8] reopened southwest China to the Burma Road, and recovered all the lost land on the west bank of the Salween River in western Yunnan.

At the turn of spring and summer in 1942, the Japanese army captured Burma and immediately prepared to attack west Yunnan.

In order to regain control of the Burma Road, the six divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces in India and the British and Indian forces jointly launched a counterattack against the Japanese army in northern Myanmar in late October 1943, and achieved initial results.
