Chapter 725: The battle begins
Okamura Ningji heard the report of the chief of staff, and immediately decided to bomb the airfield built by Hu Bin, for Okamura Ningji, he thinks that now he has the initiative on the battlefield, and he can't let Hu Bin do it to himself first, although he and Hu Bin signed an armistice agreement, but everyone knows that this is a piece of waste paper, and it is useless at all.
In addition, he thinks that now is the time to fight Hu Bin, for Hu Bin's revenge, he must revenge, otherwise he has no way to raise his head in front of his colleagues, even if he has achieved great achievements in India, he has still been defeated by Hu Bin, so if you want to be ashamed, you must kill Hu Bin.
"Send a telegram to our troops on the front line, be vigilant, and don't let Hu Bin's troops come and sneak attack!" Okamura Ninji spoke again.
"Hey!" The chief of staff next to him nodded and said.
"Hu Bin, you're finished this time, when we train troops in other places, how many troops you have in China is not enough for us to kill!" Okamura Ninji spoke.
"We still can't be sure of victory!" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
"Wrong, Hu Bin is big this time, I started to think that Hu Bin would come over with Wei Lihuang's troops to fight Mandalay, but now it seems that it is not! Hu Bin's aim is Mandeli, and Wei Lihuang's troops may be our other recruit camps. Therefore, Hu Bin is finished this time, even if he mobilizes more troops from China, Hu Bin will not be able to win! Okamura Ninji said proudly.
"Why, they also have a lot of troops in China now, especially after they can make their own weapons, their troops are expanding faster!" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
"No, don't forget, Yan'an and Chongqing are incompatible. And Chongqing cannot be defenseless against Hu Bin, so Hu Bin is destined to be a tragedy, and the Chinese can't do anything else. The infighting is quite powerful.
I think that Chongqing will definitely not mobilize too many troops to support Hu Bin this time, and if it is mobilized from Yan'an, it is unlikely that there will be many troops, even if Yan'an can transfer 200,000 troops, Hu Bin is only more than 300,000 troops, what will he use to fight our Mandalay! Okamura Ninji said with a smile.
He still knows a little about the situation on the Chinese side, and knows that unless Yan'an sends troops to support Hu Bin. Otherwise, Chongqing would definitely not have transferred troops over, and more than 300,000 troops were nothing to Okamura Ningji's 3 million troops.
Therefore, now Okamura Ninji is very confident, and he believes that he will be able to kill Hu Bin this time.
"I want to ask, are we going offensive or defensive this time?" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and asked.
"Defend first, then attack. Hmph, we're not in a hurry to attack now. Let's wait for Hu Bin's troops to come out. It's not us who are anxious now, it's Hu Bin. Therefore, once Hu Bin's attack fails, if we attack instead, then the pressure on Hu Bin will be huge, I think. Chongqing won't let him go! Okamura Ninji said with a smile.
"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I think, now we are still mainly Indian, and this side. We just need to be prepared, and when we have completely defeated India, the troops will come back, and when the time comes, we will be able to push the troops into China, so that we can completely destroy China! When the chief of staff heard this, he nodded with a smile and said.
"Yo Si. That's what I think, let Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang fight, Wei Lihuang's troops, I'm not worried at all. Okamura nodded and said.
At this time, Hu Bin was already rushing to Li Qinwei's side, and there were 2 divisions of troops with him, and they could not attack now, because Hu Bin's troops were not ready to be in place, and the planes and tanks on the Yan'an side had not come, so Hu Bin could only go to the front line to deploy first, and the troops had to arrange a defensive line over there.
Although he is going to attack now, he must also arrange a defensive line, and once he can't attack, the troops will immediately turn to defense, and Okamura Ninji will not let himself go like this.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Bin arrived at Li Qinwei's headquarters. As soon as Hu Bin arrived there, Li Qinwei prepared food for Hu Bin and began to report on the current situation here.
"Recently, the devil's reconnaissance activities are becoming more and more frequent, these days, we have to kill more than 1,000 devil's troops every day, and it is still close to our side, we have not continued to investigate the devil's side, if the reconnaissance passes, I think there are more troops on the devil's side!" Li Qinwei looked at Hu Bin and reported.
"Hmm. More than 1,000 devils a day? Hu Bin heard it, nodded, and asked.
"Yes, my troops are all fighting in cooperation with Fang Lei's troops, Fang Lei will come over later!" Li Qinwei opened his mouth and said.
"How many troops have you dispatched?" Hu Bin then asked.
"Generally, a regiment or so of troops is dispatched to go out to reconnoiter a day, and when they encounter devils, they will fight. Now we have a large number of devils' weapons on our side, which have been handed over to the political commissars, and they have taken them to the country to sell. Li Qinwei said to Hu Bin.
"Very well, tomorrow, increase the number of reconnaissance troops. We must block the devil's scouts 50 kilometers in front of their position, we can't get close to the devils now, the trees have been cut down by the devils, and we can only kill the devils who entered the forest first. Hu Bin looked at Li Qinwei and explained.
"Yes, I know, but in this way, we advance to 50 kilometers on the devil's side, and if we can't continue to push forward, it's useless, 50 kilometers, and we don't have so many vehicles. The soldiers could not go over to reconnoitre, nor did they dare to march on a large scale, in case they encountered an artillery ambush from the devils, they would die. Li Qinwei said.
Report. Hey, Brother Bin! At this time, Fang Lei also walked in from outside, and when he saw Hu Bin, he immediately laughed.
"Here, sit down and say, it's been hard for this time." Hu Bin saw Fang Lei coming over, and smiled and beckoned Fang Lei to sit down.
"What's the hard work, in fact, there is nothing at all, it is just playing devils in the forest every day, as soon as the brothers of our special regiment make a move, they are a dead end!" Fang Lei said with a smile.
"Hmm. Monk, you tell him what I just said, I'll eat first, and we'll discuss it again after eating, and see how our troops should fight, before the Armageddon, we must kill some of their devils in the surrounding area, and now there are many new recruits for devils, which is a good opportunity. Hu Bin looked at Fang Lei and Li Qinwei and said.
"Okay, Brother Bin, you eat first!" The monk nodded, and after finishing speaking to Hu Bin, he spoke to Fang Lei.
After Li Qinwei finished speaking, Fang Lei also agreed to this, first clear the road, and then find a way to get close to the devil, you can't wait, if you wait, the big army will not be able to attack at that time, and you will be ambushed by the devil.
After Hu Bin finished eating, he called the two of them and the division commanders of several other divisions to the headquarters and began to assign them combat tasks.
By the next day, the troops were on the move. In one morning, the reconnaissance unit cleared more than 10 miles of land to the front. All the devils inside were killed, and in the afternoon, the devils also increased the number of reconnaissance troops. All afternoon, the troops fought in the jungle, and the casualties of the devils were very large.
"Yaga. In one day, more than 4,000 people were shattered, and if you continue to fight like this, how long can our 300,000 troops fight? After hearing the report, Iida Shojiro said very angrily.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, if they continue to be consumed at this rate, will not be able to withstand it for long at all. With so many troops participating in the war, it will not be possible to fight for a few months, but now this consumption is too great.
However, Hu Bin was also very dissatisfied at this time, the two airfields that had just been built in front were bombed by Japanese bombers, which made him very depressed.
"I don't care what you think, the airport must be repaired!" Hu Bin looked at the commander of an engineer regiment and said.
"Commander. The devil's bombers came, we didn't have a way to repair it at all, they came very intensively, they were bombed just after repairing, and now the airport is full of big pits! The commander of the engineering regiment looked at Hu Bin and said.
"You guys, you can do that. Repair it at night, cover it with leaves during the day, or rather, you can repair it in the forest first, and after the place is tidied up, then cut down the trees, and at the same time, in other places, get a few flat places, and put some fake tools in it, so that the devils think that the place is the airport, let the devils blow it up, the real airport, you must fix it, this can't be delayed, after 10 days, the fighter jets of the United States will come! Hu Bin said to the commander of the engineering regiment.
"Yes, we'll figure it out again!" The commander of the engineer regiment nodded and said.
"Give me the anti-aircraft artillery brigade!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
Soon, that staff officer began to answer the phone call of the antiaircraft artillery brigade, the phone was supported by the United States, and now Hu Bin is also ordering the arsenal to develop its own communication system, and at present Hu Bin can only use the United States.
"Report, the anti-aircraft artillery brigade has been connected!" The staff officer said to Hu Bin, who heard it and walked over.
"Wait a while, you and the engineer regiment will link up, put your anti-aircraft artillery units around the fake airport, after the devil's bombers come, shoot down those bombers for me, the troops should be dispersed, don't arrange them so densely, find a way, kill the devil's bombers, and also, the devil's reconnaissance plane should also keep an eye on, once the devil's reconnaissance plane comes down, kill them for me!" Hu Bin took the telegram and ordered the brigade commander of the anti-aircraft artillery brigade. (To be continued.) )
