In March 1944, the Japanese Army launched Operation U-Go, an attack
on Assam in India intended to inspire a rising against British
rule. A month earlier the Japanese had launched Operation Ha-Go,
which was intended as a feint to draw British attention away from
the Imphal area. But British forces employed new defensive
techniques to counter the Japanese infiltration tactics. These
tactics were again employed on a larger scale when Imphal and
Kohima were surrounded during Operation U-Go. Kohima took place in
two stages. From 3 to 16 April, the Japanese attempted to capture
Kohima Ridge. As the small garrison held out against fierce and
repeatedly desperate attempts by the Japanese 31st Division to
destroy them, so the British 2nd Division fought to break through
and relieve them. Then for over two months British and Indian
troops counter-attacked to drive the Japanese from the positions
they had already captured. The battle ended on June 22 when British
and Indian troops from Kohima and Imphal met at Milestone 109, thus
ending the siege.
