American Tank Crews Reported Movement Inside: The Night Japanese Surrounded Them in Burma

American Tank Crews Reported Movement Inside: The Night Japanese Surrounded Them in Burma In March 1944, during the brutal Hukawng Valley offensive in northern Burma, American-supported Chinese tank forces under General Joseph Stilwell launched a daring night assault into the heart of Japanese positions. Crews in M3 Stuart and M4 Sherman tanks ground through dense jungle trails, cutting deep behind enemy lines to smash major Japanese bivouacs near Maingkwan and Walawbum. What followed was chaos: tanks plunged into the middle of enemy camps, surrounded by shouting Japanese soldiers hurling grenades and firing from all sides. Crews reported intense "movement inside" the darkness—Japanese infiltrators swarming close, climbing tanks, and launching desperate attacks. Mortars rained down, machine guns created walls of fire, and one tank was set ablaze as the night battle raged until dawn. Hundreds of Japanese were killed, but the Allied tanks broke the enemy pocket, paving the way for advances in the China-Burma-India Theater. This obscure WWII story highlights the horrors of jungle tank warfare, Japanese infiltration tactics, and the bravery of mixed Chinese-American crews who turned the tide against overwhelming odds.
