Hu Bin's meeting was held until very late, and the general idea of the work of the troops was to be figured out, and now it is time to recruit and train, in the past two days, a total of 1,200 soldiers have been recruited, and from tomorrow, they will also be trained, and all those recruits will be sent to Linxiang, and Hu Bin's guard unit will begin training.

At this time, on the Jingzhou side, the captain of the wing stationed in Jingzhou couldn't sleep at night, because during this time, the casualties of his wing had exceeded 1,000 people, and he knew that Hu Bin's troops did it.

Now the troops have been compressed in a radius of less than 10 miles inside and outside Jingzhou City, and he doesn't know the situation outside, and his troops don't dare to go out.

But even so, his troops defending outside Jingzhou City suffered casualties every night, because Hu Bin's troops would sneak up on their troops at night, and sometimes they would rush into their trenches to fight!

"Da Da Da!" At this time, there was another gunshot outside, and as soon as the wing commander heard it, he knew that it was not his side that was shooting, but Hu Bin's troops.

"Baga, I'm going to fight with them." When Wing Commander Ichiro Tengchu heard the gunshot, he shouted angrily.

"Captain, don't be impulsive, we don't know how many Hu Bin's troops are outside now, if we attack rashly, we will fall for them!" The chief of staff next to him heard it and hurriedly persuaded him.

An order came from the headquarters, asking them to hold on for a month, and after a month, troops from Wuhan would come to reinforce them, but those devils in Jingzhou had no bottom in their hearts, and they didn't know if they could hold out for a month.

Now the casualties are more than 200 people every night, sometimes as many as 500, according to this attrition. They simply couldn't hold out that long, and by now, there are only 2,500 people left in the entire wing!

"Baga, when are we going to go, the headquarters, don't let us retreat. Second, don't let me take the initiative to attack, we are the troops of the empire, how can we be pressed and beaten by the Chinese troops, when are we going to live such a day? Ichiro Tengchu shouted loudly!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Explosions were heard outside the city.

He knew that his troops outside were estimated to have suffered a lot of casualties, and he didn't dare to mobilize all those troops into the city. Because according to intelligence, Hu Bin's troops have artillery, if they are all in the city, once Hu Bin fires artillery into the city, then the casualties of the entire army will be large.

Now outside the city, they still have a lot of fortifications, and Hu Bin's troops don't know how they get closer, and they can sneak attack successfully every time!

At this time. On the side outside the city, Xiang Feng brought 1,000 people from the special regiment. began to attack the devils on the south gate, there are more than 500 devils stationed here, Xiang Feng didn't plan to kill them in one night, now they want to take recruits to practice, Xiang Feng wants to train those recruits out by attacking devils!

Report. The devil's troops have already established a defensive line! A communications soldier came over and said to Xiang Feng.

"Retreat, don't fight, I'll fight in another direction later." Xiang Feng said to the communication soldier.

"Yes!" When the signal soldier heard it, he immediately fired a signal flare, which was seen by the attacking fighters in front. began to retreat in an orderly manner, and after a short period of fighting, the casualties on the devil's side were more than 100!

"Yaga!" The captain stationed at the south gate gritted his teeth and cursed after hearing the report of the soldiers below, and in less than half an hour of the exchange of fire, their casualties exceeded more than 100, of which more than 70 died.

"This is not the way to go on, we should tell the wing commander that we must send reinforcements over to surround those enemies, they are too arrogant, they don't take us into account at all, on our position, come and go freely!" A squadron leader shouted very dissatisfied, they now blame the Wing Captain for not asking for help from above!

"There is an order from the headquarters, and there are no reinforcements at all now! We want to hold on for a month. The captain shouted.

"Nani, a month, a month, do they want to come and collect our bodies?" Another squadron leader heard it and shouted with great dissatisfaction.

The captain glanced sideways and didn't speak, he also knew that the soldiers under his command had a big opinion, if they were not appeased, something would happen, their troops would have controlled the entire Jingzhou, but now, they could only retreat on the side of Jingzhou City, and they couldn't go anywhere.

At about 2 o'clock in the evening, Xiang Feng's troops attacked the east gate again, and the battle lasted for about half an hour, and the east gate side was a little slower to stop the defense, and the casualties were even greater, more than 300 casualties.

After receiving the report, Tengchuichiro sat there for half a day without moving, and in one night, he lost the combat strength of more than 500 soldiers, and now he can fight less than 2,000 people, if he continues like this, in two days, they may not even have 1,000 people.

"Send a telegram to the Wuhan Command, I request to go out of the city to fight, if we continue to fight like this, the morale of my troops will be very low, and in a few days my troops may not even have the strength to fight, I hope the headquarters can consider our opinions, or continue to give us reinforcements, otherwise, we will not be able to hold Jingzhou at all, please consider it carefully." Ichiro Tengchu said.

After the telegram was sent, Teng Zhongichiro continued to sit there in a daze, now they don't dare to sleep at night, they all sleep during the day, during the day, Hu Bin's troops will not come to sneak attack them, so they can also sleep steadily!

Teng Zhongichiro waited until more than 8 o'clock in the morning, and at this time, a telegram from the Wuhan Command also came, and after a morning of discussion, they agreed that a wing would come here during the day today to reinforce here, and it was expected to arrive here until tomorrow evening.

The telegram ordered Teng Zhongichiro not to launch an attack without authorization, and in the eyes of those senior staff officers of the Wuhan Headquarters, as long as Teng Zhongichiro's wing left Jingzhou, it would be eaten clean by Hu Bin's troops, because the troops of several of their divisions had been eaten by Hu Bin before.

Now that the troops of a wing are in front of Hu Bin, there is simply not enough to see, so there is no way, they can only draw a wing from Wuhan to reinforce Teng Zhongichiro.

And on the Wuhan side, they are also suffering, now it is the chief of staff of the front army who is presiding over the daily work, after Okamura Ningji went back to the base camp, the new commander here has not been sent, and Okamura Ningji has not returned, and now they don't know, they can only wait for the news from above!

"We can't wait any longer, send a telegram to the base camp, we now need the commander to come over and preside over the overall situation, Hu Bin's troops have begun to invade our Hubei side, we need to rearrange and kill Hu Bin's troops."

If we continue to drag it out, after Hu Bin's troops gain a firm foothold in Hubei, we will have to kill him, and the price we will pay will be even greater. The chief of staff thought for a moment and said to the staff officer beside him.

"Hey, but now there is no news from the base camp at all, who is the new commander, are we waiting, we can't create this illusion on the base camp, as if we have to come over, will this cause trouble for our commander." The staff officer heard it and said to the chief of staff.

"We can't manage so much now, the 108th Division and the 14th Division were not originally our battle sequence, and now they have been transferred here, just to help defend Wuhan, and in other places, they won't go at all, and we can't mobilize them, so we have to have a new commander over!" The chief of staff spoke.

"Hey!" The staff officer heard it and nodded in response.

"Your Excellency our commander wants to continue fighting in China, and he said that Hu Bin is a great threat to the empire, and Hu Bin must not be allowed to grow up, and he must be killed as quickly as possible.

Moreover, we also want to open up the passage to Southeast Asia here, and now the navy has been saying that it wants to fight the Southeast Asian side, saying that our army is not good at all, but as long as we open up the passage here, then the Southeast Asian side does not need their navy to go ashore at all, and they want to go wherever they want, and those achievements on land are all from our army. The Chief of Staff continued.

"Hey, I also heard the news, the empire intends to open up a front in Southeast Asia, it seems that the navy wants to take the lead, and our army side does not agree." The staff officer said.

"Well, so we need the commander to come back, as long as this line of communication is opened, then our empire's army will be able to dominate the entire Asian continent." The chief of staff nodded and said.

"Hey, I'm going to send a telegram, I hope Your Excellency the Commander will be able to come back." The staff officer nodded.

"Definitely!" The chief of staff said firmly.

At this time, Okamura Ninji in Japan, after making a report to the emperor, the cabinet, and the army headquarters, was released, and he was not imprisoned, but he was asked to wait for news at home, and now he has been back in Japan for half a month. I don't know what's going on in China.

Now he is very worried and anxious, hoping to go back soon, he always feels that Hu Bin is in the south, which is a very big obstacle for them to fight from China to Southeast Asia.

He wanted to hurry up and kill Hu Bin, and then organize a second Changsha operation, and after Changsha was finished, he would attack Guizhou and Guangxi, so that they could open up the communication line and attack Southeast Asia directly from the land.

However, there is no news from the base camp and the army headquarters at all, and now he himself is under house arrest at home, and there is no news.

"Report, there's a call from the base camp, asking you to report to the base camp!" At this time, one of Okamura Ninji's secretaries came over to report.

"Yo Xi, there's finally news." Okamura Ninji heard it and stood up with a smile. (To be continued.) )
