Chapter 724 must be fought
When Commander Jiang saw Wei Lihuang's telegram, the whole person immediately felt bad, he knew that things were troublesome, and the difficulty of beating Mandalay was far greater than he imagined.
According to Wei Lihuang's estimate, the entire attack force must prepare more than 500,000 troops, and the follow-up troops must prepare more than 300,000, and at the same time, they must also prepare to sacrifice 300,000 and casualties 500,000 before it is possible to complete the containment of Japan's development in Southeast Asia.
"Niang Xipi, why has there been such a big change in Japan?" Commander Chiang took the telegram and sat there talking irritably.
The other generals didn't know what was going on, but they knew that the telegram was sent from Wei Lihuang, and now that they heard the commander say this, they knew that something might be wrong with Mandalay.
"Commander?" Chen Cheng looked at the commander and asked.
"See for yourself, Hui Shan sent it, it's troublesome!" Commander Chiang handed over the telegram, then stood up and walked to the window.
When Chen Cheng and the generals saw this telegram, they were shocked, and they only now realized that Japan was no longer as easy to deal with as they had thought before.
"Do you want to fight this battle? You all talk about it, Hui Shan didn't dare to make his own decisions, I guess Hu Bin didn't dare to call the shots, he also sent a telegram to Yan'an, according to what Wei Lihuang said, Hu Bin also asked Yan'an to mobilize more troops to go over, he wanted to fight, but he didn't dare to call the shots, such a big casualty, with so many troops, our domestic war will be delayed, Niang Xipi! Commander Jiang said the latter and cursed again, and when those people heard it, they all fell silent.
This matter is too serious, if so many troops are to be used. It is simply that all the elite troops in the country have been transferred, and so many troops have been mobilized, and the domestic reconquest war cannot be fought again, because the supply of troops is insufficient.
Don't look at Chongqing and Yan'an combined, there are so many troops, but there are also so many places to defend, if there is no defense. Let the devils fight over, it will also be troublesome, the troops in Guangxi and Yunnan cannot move at all, those two places are set up as the second line of defense, and troops cannot be dispatched to pass.
And the troops in Sichuan can't move now, this is to guard Sichuan, and the ones who can move are Guizhou and Hunan. Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, as well as Shanxi, Shaanxi and several northwestern provinces! If hundreds of thousands of troops are to be sent to Southeast Asia, then the troops of several other provinces cannot be assembled to attack.
"You can only fight the commander-in-chief, if you don't. When the time comes, it will be even more troublesome, and the fight in Southeast Asia will be over. I think if the devils really come from the northwest and we hold that side, it is still possible, and the terrain conditions over there are suitable for defense. Chen Cheng looked at the commander and said.
"Well, Commander, I can't stop fighting now. Before, I thought that the planes of the United States were very powerful, as long as they came to support us, I thought we would be able to win in Southeast Asia, and there would be no need to send additional troops to the past, but now it seems. It's impossible for us not to send troops, so we have to fight! Li Zongren also said firmly.
"Fight is to fight, and to fight quickly! However, we have to transfer 500,000 troops from Hubei, Hunan, and Henan to the south, and Hu Bin in Hubei said that 12 divisions of troops will be transferred, so the rest is the troops to be used on our side! Commander Jiang thought about it, nodded and spoke.
"Hu Bin doesn't have that much strength in Hubei at all, how can they send 12 divisions of troops over?" Li Zongren immediately asked.
"That's what Yan'an does, do you think they will honestly recruit according to the establishment!" Commander Jiang said helplessly, and Li Zongren heard it and stopped talking.
"Send a telegram to Yan'an, asking Hubei to send 12 divisions and 200,000 troops to Hu Bin's side, and we will set off in the next few days, transfer 4 divisions of troops from Henan, 5 divisions of troops from Hunan, 5 divisions of troops from Anhui and Jiangxi, and in addition, transfer 3 divisions of troops from Guizhou to Southeast Asia immediately, set off now, send a telegram to Wei Lihuang, fight!" The Commander stood there and spoke.
"Yes!" When the generals heard this, they all stood upright.
"Niang Xipi, I don't believe it, until now, our China is still there, his devil can really destroy our China, if he can't destroy us, we will destroy them!" Commander Jiang stood there and looked outside and said.
After receiving a telegram from Chongqing to transfer troops, Commander Mao sent a telegram to Commander Jiang, saying that the troops of the 12 divisions would soon be assembled and set off for Southeast Asia, and Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang also received a telegram from Commander Jiang.
"Brother, I'm going to fight!" Wei Lihuang looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Yes, I'm going to fight!" Hu Bin also nodded.
"Come, let's talk about it. How to fight! Wei Lihuang said to Hu Bin.
The two of them quickly arrived in the conference room, and then, the whole meeting lasted for 2 days, and it was finally decided that Hu Bin's troops would attack Mandalay as the main force, while Wei Lihuang's troops would begin to move south, containing troops from other directions, and at the same time blocking the troops coming from Southeast Asia as much as possible.
At the beginning, Wei Lihuang was still worried about whether Hu Bin could win Mandalay's troops, Hu Bin directly gave Wei Lihuang a ticket, as long as he could hold out for 3 months, Hu Bin was confident that he would take Mandalay and kill the 400,000 devils' troops in Mandalay.
Wei Lihuang saw that Hu Bin was so confident, so he handed over Mandalay to Hu Bin, and his target was the key cities defended by the Thai and Vietnamese devils, and the purpose was not to occupy those cities, but to kill the troops in the boot training camp.
Now the devils are training millions of troops in these places, if they don't stop them, those troops start to reinforce Mandalay, then there will be no need to fight this battle, and then it will be consumed in Mandalay, and Japan can consume it, but China can't afford to consume it.
Therefore, Hu Bin's troop target was the Japanese troops north of Mandalay, and Wei Lihuang was the Japanese troops south of Mandalay.
Hu Bin returned to the command headquarters and ordered his troops of several divisions to start rushing towards Indo, and at the same time arranged for troops to march to Wenduo and Ma Ben, and repair simple fortifications over there, but try not to be discovered by the devils, and all this was soon discovered by the devils' reconnaissance planes.
"What do you say, Hu Bin's troops have started to march towards Indo, and they have built airfields on Indo and Banmao's side? Where did they get the planes? After hearing the staff officer's report, Okamura stood up in surprise and walked to the front of the map.
In the past two days, he has received an intelligence report from the base camp that the Chinese troops are now moving in the southwest direction, and according to their speculation, it is possible that they are fighting on the side of Southeast Asia.
"Commander, the latest intelligence, Wei Lihuang's troops have also moved, and they are marching towards the Meng Yang area!" At this time, a staff officer came over and said to Okamura Ninji.
"Baga, Hu Bin, you really still have to fight!" Okamura Ninji heard it and scolded very calmly, but he wasn't actually angry, because the current situation was very favorable for him.
The attack on the Indian side far exceeded expectations, and they originally planned to take half a year to defeat the troops on the British first line of defense, but they did not expect that from three and a half months, they broke through the British second line of defense and began to attack the inside of India, and the speed of the advance was very fast, and they were able to defeat a state in India in a few days.
Such a speed made the entire base camp very satisfied, so now Okamura Ningji also wants to deal with the Chinese troops, even if Hu Bin does not come to fight him now, in a month, he is estimated to have to do something against Hu Bin's troops.
"Commander, Hu Bin didn't act according to the agreement at all, can we announce it? Let the people in Chongqing and Mi country suspect Hu Bin? The chief of staff spoke.
"Yaga! Aren't you trying to discredit the Empire? Could it be that we were deceived by Hu Bin, we still have to preach it everywhere! Sending this agreement out will only make the whole world see the joke! Okamura Ninji heard it and scolded the chief of staff.
"Hey!" The chief of staff was scolded and did not dare to speak, so he could only bow his head.
"I have long known that Hu Bin will not abide by the agreement, and I did not expect him to do so! Now it has given us more than 3 months, which is already very good, and the value of this money we spent, the gold we seized from India alone is 10 times this money, hum!
Besides, if it is announced, they will still think that it is Hu Bin's credit and will laugh at our empire! In addition, Hu Bin's troops did not attack us for a day, and he did not break the contract. Okamura Ninji said coldly.
"Hey!" The chief of staff could only continue to nod.
"It's not his turn to break the contract. Order the bombers, start bombing the airfields built by Hu Bin in Banmao and Indo tomorrow, and blow them up for me! Okamura Ninji said proudly.
"Hey! But where did they get their planes? The chief of staff asked.
"China doesn't have it, doesn't the United States have it?" Okamura Ninji looked at him dissatisfiedly and said.
"Hey, I'll do it right away!" The chief of staff heard it and immediately turned and left. (To be continued.) )
