On April 1 1 day, the 55th division of the Japanese army and the reinforced 18 division each swore to attack Rieter. After fierce fighting, the newly formed 22nd Division moved to Binwenna one after another. The Japanese army invaded Binwenna and was repelled by the 96th Division of the 5th Army. Later, due to the retreat of the right-wing British army, the positions were prominent, and the ministries of the 5 th Army gave up Binwenna and moved in the direction of Mitra and Minjian. On June 16, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army surrounded the British-Burmese Army 1 Division and a chariot battalion in the area north of Ren 'anqiang.
