The Battle of Bilin River was the first major battle of the Burma Campaign in World War II. Fought between 14 February and 18 February 1942, the battle was a tactical victory for Japan over the British Indian Army, and it led to a decisive victory for Japan immediately afterwards at the Battle of Sittang Bridge. Smyth wanted to withdraw immediately to better defensive terrain, but he was ordered to "stay put".
