The crossing of the Salween in mid-May was unopposed and Yoke Force made slow but steady progress until the Japanese counterattacked at Lung-ling and hopes ended of a breakthrough to Myitkyina from the east. By September, Chiang Kai-shek was threatening to pull Yoke Force back into China.
1987, Eric Larrabee, Commander in Chief: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, His Lieutenants, and Their War, New York: Harper & Row, Publishers, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 564Fearful that the Japanese forces at Lung-ling would mount a counterattack and eventually overrun the Chinese and cross the Salween River, the generalissimo added to the issues a request that the Chinese soldiers who fought at Myitkyina be redeployed to the Lung-ling front. Chiang could not order but only ask for these troops because once they entered Burma they were part of Mountbatten’s Southeast Asia Command.
