The complexities of this bargain would become most visible in the four year struggle between Chang and General Joseph Stilwell.
This relationship shaped by mutual suspicion, different strategic visions and incompatible political agendas would define Chinese American military cooperation during the Pacific War and would have a profound implication extending far beyond the battlefields of Asia.

Last time we spoke about the ending of the Second Battle of Chang Cha.
In late September and early October of 1941, Chinese commander Chen Chung planned an operation to retake Yichiang, a strategic Yangtsu River city whose control was essential for protecting the approaches to Chongqing.
Japanese forces were pulled back from Changshan, weakened by supply problems and casualties, which created an opportunity for Chan Sheng to intensify his campaign.
Chang had been captured by Japan in nineteen forty, a defeat that Chen Chung carried as a personal and political burden.
He therefore moved to encircle the Japanese 13th Division inside Dichang and drive it into a collapse.
