Chapter 798: The Belief in Victory (11 more)
Hu Bin was preparing to relocate the headquarters to Mandalay, and those staff officers were already ready to relocate, and Hu Bin was still thinking about what measures Okamura Ningji would take to win back this situation after knowing that his air force could gain air supremacy.
At this time, the commander of the 2nd Air Division, Cho Hee-in, sent a telegram requesting the bombing of the Langke airfield.
Hu Bin was a little surprised when he heard the staff officer say that Zhao Xiren was going to bomb the Langke airfield, because according to Hu Bin's meaning, if the air force won the air battle, there was no need to bomb the airport in such a hurry.
However, now that Zhao Xiren has sent a telegram, he must have taken a look. Hu Bin took the telegram sent by Zhao Xiren, looked at it carefully, and after reading it, Hu Bin handed the telegram to Li Dalong.
"Very visionary!" Hu Bin stood up and spoke.
"Send a telegram to Zhao Xiren, agree to bomb, blow up as soon as possible!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer standing next to him.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard it and immediately went out.
"It is indeed very far-sighted, since we have achieved an advantage in the air, don't put a time bomb around us, bombing Langke Airport early will reduce the danger for us, and when the devil's plane flies to Wei Lihuang's side, it won't last long at all, not bad!" Li Dalong saw it and nodded and said.
"I was thinking about killing the devil's plane as much as possible, but Zhao Xiren's method is more stable, Wei Lihuang's side can't take any risks, it's okay if it is bombed, we are still worried about an accident at that airport!" Hu Bin nodded and said.
"Let's go, it's going to take 2 hours to get to Mandalay! Then you will have to hold a pre-war meeting! Li Dalong reminded Hu Bin and said.
"Alright, let's go!" Hu Bin nodded and said, and then walked outside, they were going to Mandalay!
However, Marshall, who was in Chongqing at this time, also received a telegram from Stilwell, saying that this time the Chinese air force had won a great victory on Wei Lihuang's side, and completely annihilated the fighters and bombers of an air division of the devil at a very small cost.
This news was very important for Marshall, because in the Americas their planes were no match for Japanese aircraft, and by now they had already dropped thousands of planes!
"General Gui, I want to see your commander after visiting your troops!" Marshall said to Gui Yongqing, who accompanied him on a tour of the troops.
"Oh, I'm going to call and ask about this!" Gui Yongqing heard it, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what he meant, originally Chongqing attached great importance to Marshall's arrival this time, and hoped to reach a more comprehensive cooperation agreement with the United States.
However, after Marshall saw that the Chinese expeditionary force was in danger in Burma, he did not talk about it, and Commander Chiang was very dissatisfied with this, so he did not pay much attention to Marshall.
"Okay, please tell Commander Jiang that I have something important to talk to him about this time!" Marshall smiled and said to Gui Yongqing.
"Yes, I'll call the commander later!" Gui Yongqing nodded and said.
"By the way, General Gui, I want to know, which country is the plane fighting on the side of the expeditionary force now? I've heard that all the planes we gave you before have been lost? Marshall opened his mouth and said, and the translator next to him also translated the words to Gui Yongqing.
"Ha, this, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's our country's own aircraft, not other countries' aircraft, it's an aircraft developed by our country's Yan'an Command!" When Gui Yongqing heard it, he immediately knew why Marshall wanted to see Commander Chiang, probably for those planes!
Now the planes of the United States are inferior to the Japanese fighters on the battlefield, so they cannot obtain air supremacy on the battlefield and let the devil's planes press and fight!
"Oh, Yan'an's plane, I understand, I also heard that the tanks made by you in Yan'an have also completely suppressed the Japanese tanks on the battlefield, I don't know if this news is true?" Marshall asked again.
"Japanese tanks, I think your tanks can also be suppressed, their tank armor is very thin, it is not difficult to deal with Japanese tanks!" Gui Yongqing looked at Marshall and said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I mean, when your Chinese tanks are fighting, aren't you afraid of the Japanese death squads, when our American tanks rush to the Japanese position, the Japanese side will send death squads, let the death squads come with explosives bags and die with our tanks, aren't your tanks afraid?" Marshall said again.
"I'm afraid, but I think General Hu's side must have a way to solve this matter, and now we don't have many troops and tank troops on the Chongqing side!" After listening to the translator's words, Gui Yongqing said with a wry smile.
There are really not many armored troops on the Chongqing side, and these armored troops are all the descendants of Commander Chiang, and Commander Chiang will not send them out until there is a big battle.
Wei Lihuang's troops, which only had one armored division, were now almost bombed, and on Hu Bin's side, Gui Yongqing also knew that Hu Bin's side was equipped with tanks from three armored divisions.
"Oh, then it seems that I am going to talk to your commander in person, by the way, I want to know, what do you think of the current situation in Burma?" Marshall looked at Gui Yongqing with a smile and asked.
He was now a little skeptical of his staff's calculations, which had not resulted in the Chinese air force being able to defeat the Japanese air force. But now that it's overcome, it's going to change the deduction process!
He was tempted to go back and send a telegram to Stilwell asking him what he thought of the current situation in Burma. Now they really hope that China can fully contain Japan's troops in Asia, so that the pressure on them will be much less!
"We will definitely win, in the face of the devil's troops, we don't care how many troops the devil has, who is in command, what equipment we have, we all have the confidence and strength to win, we didn't dare to say before, now we are victorious!" At this time, Gui Yongqing looked at Marshall very seriously and said.
Marshall nodded when he heard the interpreter's words.
"Well, when you China faced the Japanese invasion, it was indeed a good fight, very good!" Marshall continued to nod his head, not saying anything else, and then looked at the training ground in front of him, where the Chinese soldiers were training.
Gui Yongqing said goodbye to Marshall, and immediately picked up the phone at the training ground and called the command, informing the headquarters that Marshall wanted to see Commander Jiang, and at the same time told the commander-in-chief what he had just guessed, and asked the adjutant to tell the commander-in-chief!
"Hmph, now that our air force has just won, he knows, it seems that Stilwell has gotten a lot of information on our side!" After Commander Jiang heard the adjutant's report, he sneered and said.
"I think, after this battle, we must send all those officers from the United States and the United Kingdom, and now the situation of our front-line troops is clearly understood by the United States and the British!" He Yingqin was also a little wary in his heart, and looked at Commander Jiang and proposed.
"Yes, I think so too, since they don't want to support us, there is no need for us to completely expose the situation of our front-line troops to the officers of the United States and the United Kingdom, which is very dangerous for our country's troops!" Li Zongren also nodded and said.
"I'm going to send them away, I can't let them stay on the front line! However, as you heard just now, Marshall wanted to see us, probably for the planes and tanks from Yan'an. Commander Jiang looked at the generals in front of him and said.
"These planes, I estimate that Yan'an will not sell them for the time being, and now we are not equipped with many such planes in our country, and we ourselves are not enough! I just sent a telegram to Yan'an, they have agreed to sell us the plane, however, the delivery date is estimated to be after the Chinese New Year, and now their planes are insufficient! Li Zongren said.
"It's impossible to sell them now, if we have enough planes and tank troops, we will be able to send troops to recover the Northeast, what does it matter to us if the United States wins or loses, we just need to ensure that we can win, as long as China wins, other countries lose, it has little to do with us.
If the planes on the Yan'an side are really advanced enough, and we can recover the northeast in the future, then our air force will be able to take off in the northeast and bomb the Japanese mainland, a few more times, I guess Japan will not dare to provoke us! Commander Jiang nodded and said.
When the generals heard this, they also nodded, if the Northeast is recovered, plus the current planes, they will be able to bomb the Japanese mainland at that time.
"Agree with Marshall to come and see me, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, go and inform Gui Yongqing!" Commander Jiang said to the adjutant standing next to him.
"Yes!" The adjutant left immediately.
"If Myanmar wins this battle this time, the United States will definitely meet our conditions, but now I don't want to cooperate with them!" Commander Jiang sat there and suddenly spoke.
When everyone heard it, they all looked at Commander Jiang in surprise, they didn't know why Commander Jiang suddenly said this, if there was no assistance from the United States, the gap between them and Yan'an would be bigger and bigger, and when the time came, Chongqing would be in trouble.
"Commander, please think twice, this matter is a major matter related to whether our Chongqing can block the attack on Yan'an in the future! Don't be presumptuous! He Yingqin looked at Commander Jiang and persuaded him very anxiously. (To be continued.) )
