Chapter 640 Wei Lihuang's arrival

Ten days after Hu Bin arrived in Hubei, he completed the reorganization of the troops, and then began to order the troops to conduct jungle combat training.

At this time, Hu Bin and Li Nian also had a group of logistics cadres who held a meeting together to discuss the logistics support for the entire overseas war. Hu Bin first listened to their preparations for the materials, and listened to them talk about possible problems in procurement, and Hu Bin recorded the materials they wanted to purchase in detail at the meeting. It took more than 2 hours to finish speaking.

"Commander, do you have anything to add?" Political Commissar Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Very good, you are doing a very good job, I just heard it, these difficulties you are facing, not only the difficulties that our troops have, may also have such difficulties in the entire Chinese army, you say that the fuel may not be enough, I will get this, I will go to Chongqing,

However, I don't think there are many of them, but there are some adjustments we can make here, except that we have to use cars, we can use those cars, otherwise, we can't use them.

Those who can use manpower and animal power will use manpower and animal power, and the transportation by car is only used for our material transportation, and the troops may advance on foot, but I think Chongqing should give me some oil.

There are a few other materials, I just heard you talk about it, I didn't mention it at all, the first one, dry lime, this must be, and the purchase amount is a lot, the second wormwood and artemisia grass, I will provide you with samples in a few days, and you will purchase as much as you want! Hu Bin looked at them and said.

"What are you doing with this? It's everywhere! When the political commissar heard it, he looked at Hu Bin puzzled and said.

"Wormwood can not only be used to smoke mosquitoes, but also to cure diseases, and Artemisia annua, which is a good medicine for dysentery, is in Southeast Asia. Mosquitoes are quite powerful, and the soldiers are very susceptible to dysentery, and the harm of dysentery does not need to be said, everyone knows it, right? Hu Bin looked at those cadres and said.

"Is this really going to work?" When those cadres heard this, they all looked at Hu Bin in shock, of course they knew the dangers of dysentery. The people are afraid of this, once there is such a person in a place, the whole village may be isolated.

"Really!" Hu Bin nodded affirmatively.

"Then we have to purchase, we must purchase more!" When those cadres heard this, they all nodded and said.

"There is another one, that is, charcoal, you must buy more charcoal, if you can't buy more charcoal, you must also bring the soldiers who can burn charcoal over. When we got there, we started burning charcoal! Hu Bin continued.

"Well, it's not cold over there, is it?" Those people heard it, looked at Hu Bin again and asked.

"Charcoal is not used to bake fires, it is used to dry clothes, or even to cure diseases, it is best to bring a lot of it in advance!" Hu Bin looked at them and said.

"Drying clothes?" When those soldiers heard it, they all looked at Hu Bin in puzzlement.

"When the rainy season comes over there, it rains every day. How do you let the clothes of the fighters dry, humid and muggy weather. If we don't wear dry clothes, the soldiers are also very susceptible to illness, and the water we drink may not be clean, so it is necessary to have a good time. Strain with charcoal! Hu Bin looked at them and said.

"Okay, then we're looking for such talents!" The cadres heard this, nodded, and continued to record.

"And prepare an extra set of clothes for the soldiers, as soon as the rainy season comes. Fighters on the battlefield may not have time to wash their clothes at all! Hu Bin continued, and those cadres continued to record,

Next, Hu Bin continued to arrange those things to be purchased, and if the materials could not be purchased, Hu Bin asked those cadres to go to Chongqing to ask for them!

Li Nian also sent a lot of cadres to Chongqing, and after receiving the supplies from Chongqing, they began to transport them to Yunnan, and Hu Bin and his troops would also go to Chongqing after a while.

After the meeting was over, Hu Bin began to stare at the training of those troops, Southeast Asia, there are dense forests everywhere, if the soldiers are not familiar with this way of fighting, it is easy to suffer, and they will be beaten and unable to find the direction.

On this day, Hu Bin was inspecting the 235th Division's jungle combat training, and after watching it for a morning, Hu Bin was quite satisfied; when the 235th Division came, it did not bring weapons at all, and now they are all equipped with new weapons, and they must not only train in using new weapons in combat, but also train in jungle warfare.

"Commander, now my troop training is very hard, and I dare not slack off in strict accordance with the training requirements of the instructors of the special regiment!" Sun Jinxin of the 235th Division looked at Hu Bin and said.

"It can be seen that the soldiers are very tired, but the movements are very skillful, but you commanders must also be familiar with the methods of jungle warfare!" Hu Bin nodded and said to Sun Jinxin, the commander of the 235th Division.

"We stayed in the grassroots every day, and the entire division headquarters left a few communicators, and the rest were training at the grassroots level, and we also knew that the way of this operation might be completely different from our previous combat methods.

We are also training below, carefully observing, to see how to arrange defenses, how to arrange firepower, how to launch attacks in jungle warfare, we discuss this every day! Sun Jinxin looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Yes, that's good! That's the way it is, you have to know the soldiers before you can lead the troops! Hu Bin heard it and was more satisfied.

And Sun Jinxin is also very happy about Hu Bin's praise, no one dares to ignore Hu Bin, although Sun Jinxin is in his 40s this year, and his eldest sons are older than Hu Bin,

But on the battlefield, the comparison is not age, but ability, Hu Bin's ability, the whole Chinese army knows that if you can fight, you will fight, and in the face of the devil, there has not been a defeat, even if at the beginning, he was a company commander, and he dared to argue with the two wings of the devil, this is the strength, and it will not be possible to accept it!

"Report, I received a notice from the Expeditionary Force Command!" A correspondent came to Hu Bin's side and reported.

Hu Bin heard it, took the telegram, and looked at it carefully. The telegram said that Wei Lihuang, commander of the expeditionary force, and Jiang Dingwen, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, were to inspect his troops, and Jiang Dingwen was eventually appointed chief of staff by the commander-in-chief.

"Call back, welcome!" Hu Bin said to Mo Jie,

"Yes!" Mo Shu nodded, and began to command the communication soldier.

"Commander, when are we going to go into battle?" Sun Jinxin looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"At most, we will set off in a month, so the troops must hurry up and train, and also make the soldiers proficient!" Hu Bin looked at Sun Jinxin and said.

"Understood! Commander, rest assured! Sun Jinxin nodded.

"I'm going to go to the 231st Division tomorrow to have a look, your side is doing well, keep it up!" Hu Bin looked at him and said, Sun Jinxin nodded,

Anyway, Wei Lihuang didn't arrive so soon, Hu Bin needed to hurry up and go to the various troops to see how the training was going.

On the third day, Hu Bin returned to Jingmen ahead of schedule, and just an hour after returning there, Wei Lihuang and the others came over, and at this time they were accompanied by General Stilwell and General Wright, who were the two people who negotiated with Hu Bin in Yan'an, one of them served as deputy chief of staff and one as deputy commander of the expeditionary force!

After Hu Bin greeted a few of them at the headquarters, he invited them to the headquarters.

"Brother, you have a good place, I have seen all the way, those people look very peaceful than the people of our Hunan, and I see that their clothes seem to be good, much better than our people in Hunan!" Wei Lihuang looked at Hu Bin and said, now he is still the commander of Hunan.

"I'm not like you, you just need to manage the troops, but I not only have to manage the troops, but also the stomachs of those people!" Hu Bin said with a wry smile.

"Tell me, how do you manage it! I've heard that you have a lot of businessmen and entrepreneurs here now, and they have set up a lot of factories in your area, isn't that the case? Wei Lihuang continued.

"Well, if you don't run those factories, how can those distressed people from all over the country live? You can't watch them starve to death, can you? Hu Bin nodded and said,

Now the business environment here is indeed good, especially this time, Hu Bin's troops went out to give priority to the procurement of materials for local enterprises, so that more businessmen and entrepreneurs came here to open factories, so it also drove the economy of Hubei.

"I can't imagine that General Hu is still a talent for governing places!" Jiang Dingwen on the side looked at Hu Bin and said with a smile, how wrong is this tone!

"Chief of Staff Jiang, I can't say that I have talents, and I dare not forget my original intention!" Hu Bin said with a smile.

"Oh, what is General Hu's original intention?" Jiang Dingwen heard it, looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Let the people live a good life!" Hu Bin stared at him and said.

"Okay, brother, come, and Brother Jiang, you two don't know each other, since you are going to eat in the same pot this time, how about everyone shaking hands and making peace?" Wei Lihuang looked at Hu Bin and Jiang Dingwen and said.

"No, General Hu and I are not as unfriendly as the rumors outside, right, Brother Hu?" Jiang Dingwen immediately waved his hand and said to Hu Bin with a smile, he didn't want to shake hands with Hu Bin at all, and the purpose of his coming here to be the chief of staff, he also knew, was to kill Hu Bin.

"Yes!" Hu Bin smiled and nodded.

"General Hu, I want to know, how are your troops preparing now, the troops may have to go out in advance!" Stilwell, who was on the side, saw that they were talking about the same, and immediately asked.

"Ahead of schedule?" Hu Bin heard it, glanced at Stilwell, and then looked at Wei Lihuang with questions and asked.

"Yes, the Japanese troops are advancing very fast, especially after knowing that we have decided to send troops, they have increased their troops to Southeast Asia by another 500,000 troops, and they are now rapidly advancing towards our border!" Wei Lihuang nodded and explained to Hu Bin. (To be continued.) )
