What were the consequences of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway being cut off by Japan in World War II?
The Japanese army cut off the Yunnan-Myanmar highway in China, which caused great difficulties for China's anti-Japanese war materials transportation. Although it was later rescued by air, the role of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway is still irreplaceable.

The Yunnan-Myanmar Highway starts from Kunming, crosses Yingjiang River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, crosses the Hengduan Mountains such as Yunling Mountain, Nvshan Mountain and Gaoligong Mountain, crosses the western Yunnan Valley, and reaches Yangon, the capital of Myanmar.

It is hard to imagine that when such a long transmission line was built, 80% of them were old people, women and children. They made great contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with their blood and tears on the rugged and steep road.

At that time, in order to attack China's anti-Japanese war, Japan chose to cut off the Yunnan-Myanmar highway, and since then it has lost the last land transportation line for foreign materials. Our army has to use air transportation, but this method is extremely material-intensive and far less efficient than road transportation.

In the process of invading China, the Japanese army took many measures, one of which was to cut off the material supply lines of China and other countries in the world, and to bomb and destroy the roads and bridges in the war zone, which made the material transportation of our anti-Japanese troops always in great difficulty.

However, this is the case. Our anti-Japanese troops stubbornly persisted in delivering materials in such a difficult environment and waged an indomitable struggle. The road was cut off and the mountain road was closed for one night. This is the case. They fought Japanese imperialism with the blood and sweat of the people of China, and finally won the war. They deserve the respect of all future generations. Without their sacrifice and dedication, we would not have the present peaceful years.
