Chapter 697: Hu Bin's Purpose
Hu Bin saw that there were white clouds in the shape of fish scales in the sky, and knew that the rainy season was coming soon, first it rained lightly for a few days, and then the torrential rain continued, Hu Bin was worried that Wang Changhe's combat troops would be in trouble at that time!
"So, do we want to fight or not? If we don't fight, we can order them to retreat now! Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"To fight, the heavy rain should be about a week!" Hu Bin thought for a while and said.
"How do you know it's going to be a week or so?" Li Dalong asked curiously.
Hu Bin smiled and didn't speak, in his last life, he fought in this area, and he was quite familiar with the climate and geographical environment in this area, so Hu Bin went out to see the sky every evening these days, and today is the first day to see such clouds, knowing that the rainy season is not far away.
"Order Wang Changhe to fight quickly, quickly kill the division in Xibu, and kill the wounded as well. In addition, send a telegram to Fang Lei that their opportunity to fight has arrived, and the rainy season will come, which will make it more convenient for them to fight.
Give me a part of the troops under the mountain, I let him go crazy, Lao Tzu didn't dare to call him a tiger, he also dared to call the tiger of the horse, and I broke his bones! Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
"Okay, I got it!" Li Dalong heard it and nodded.
By the day of the next day, Wang Changhe's troops were still on the march, and the affairs of Chongqing, now they were also talking, and Fengwen under the mountain still continued to attack Wei Lihuang's troops, and the air force came to bomb every day, bringing a lot of losses to Wei Lihuang's troops.
By the morning of the third day, Wang Changhe had arrived at the designated position with his troops, and although Fang Lei's troops were chasing after them, they had arrived in advance.
As soon as they arrived at the periphery of Xib, the entire army was put into the reconnaissance stage, and then the troops on the periphery were killed. A squadron and a brigade of devils, Fang Lei is now eaten directly, and it is very fast, and he was killed before the reinforcements of those devils arrived.
If the devil's reinforcements arrive, they won't retreat for half a day. Fang Lei ordered the troops to continue to kill him, because the strongholds occupied by the devils are all important positions, and Fang Lei will definitely not hand them over to the devils to defend, and when Wang Changhe's large army comes, if the devils are there, they may block Wang Changhe's retreat route.
"What do you mean by the fact that many of our troops on the outskirts of Cyb have been attacked and suffered heavy casualties?" Yamashita was at noon. Hearing the words of the chief of staff, he looked at the chief of staff in shock.
"Hey, the 18th Division sent a telegram that their troops on the periphery were attacked by Chinese troops, they judged that it was Hu Bin's troops, and now they have broken more than 5,200 people, and the casualties are still expanding!" The chief of staff said again.
"There are more than 5,200 people in the Eight Ga Jade Shatter, when did they start attacking?" Yamashita heard it. He yelled at the chief of staff.
"Hey, it started this morning!" The chief of staff replied.
"How did Hyakutake Haroyoshi command? It's only been a few hours. With so many casualties, what the hell is going on, how did Hu Bin's troops come to our side? Yamashita Bongfumi shouted as he looked at him.
"I don't know how they came over, I don't know the specifics yet, and now they haven't sent a specific telegram, just say. I hope that we can send a brigade of troops over to reinforce them, the 18th Division is resting, only 20,000 people, and this morning it has broken more than 5,000 people.
Now the Chinese forces are still attacking, if they continue to fight like this. Maybe by night, there will be less than 10,000 people, but there are more than 20,000 of our wounded on the side of Xib, if Xib is occupied by Chinese troops, then the casualties will be large, and our rear road will be cut off! The chief of staff immediately spoke.
"No, no, this won't work!" Yamashita said in a panic.
Only then did he know that he had really underestimated the combat effectiveness of Hu Bin's troops, he and Wei Lihuang had fought for so many days, and the daily casualties were not so big, and they were added up on several offensive lines, and now Hu Bin's troops had just come over, and they had given his troops so many casualties.
If it is really as the commander of the 18th Division, Hyakutake Harukishi, said, Xibu is really dangerous, not only Xibu is dangerous, but also his entire 25th Army is dangerous.
Now the 25th Army can use more than 80,000 troops, and when the time comes, it will be blocked by Hu Bin, and if Wei Lihuang's side also attacks, the entire army will be finished.
"Send a telegram to Hyakutake Harumichi that you must block the attack of Hu Bin's troops, and my side will immediately send a brigade of troops over, and if the march goes well, we will be able to arrive at about 12 o'clock this evening."
In addition, my large army will also retreat this evening, so that he must hold out until 12 o'clock in the evening, and let him send me the specific situation, I now want to know what is going on! Yamashita had already shouted when he said the back.
He doesn't want to be locked up by Hu Bin's troops now, once he is locked up by Hu Bin's troops, no matter whether he can break through or not, he will be laughed at, he looked down on Hu Bin's troops before, and now as soon as Hu Bin just came over, he is going to retreat, isn't this a joke?
And when the time comes, the base camp will definitely hold him responsible, because he has not listened to Okamura Ninji's retreat order before, and if he had retreated before, there would have been no such situation at all now.
Soon, the commander of the 18th Division, Hyakutake Haruyoshi, sent a telegram telling Yamashita about the attack in full.
"Damn, they are now clearing our stronghold outside, that is to say, Hu Bin's troops want to attack Xibu, if they have artillery, then our wounded in Xibu will be finished, and our supplies over there are probably not saved!" After Yamashita saw the telegram, he said anxiously.
Now Xibu is not only a resting place for the wounded, but also a temporary storage place for materials, the materials on the front line are transported from here, if they are really beaten down by Hu Bin's troops, then the troops on the front line will run out of food and ammunition for 3 days at most!
"No, Commander, now we have to ask for your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to help!" The chief of staff saw this situation and said to Yamashita Fengfumi.
"What's the use of asking him for help, it takes more time to get from Mandalay to Xib, and now we have to figure it out on our own! Call! ~" After Yamashita Fengwen finished speaking to the chief of staff, he propped up his waist and went to the front of the map, and now he has to think of a way not to let Hu Bin defeat Xibu.
"Commander, look at how well we let our troops defend on the main defense line of Xibu, in this case, our troops will not suffer many casualties, Hu Bin is just such a small army, I think, they still have no way to quickly capture our position!" The chief of staff thought for a moment and said to Yamashita Fengfumi.
"How do you know that Hu Bin just sent such a small number of troops out, and if there are any large troops, if there are large troops? When our troops are gathered together, isn't that just looking for death? Yamashita looked at him and asked.
Now the scouts of the 18th Division can't get out at all, and the planes in the sky can't reconnoitre, and all around Xibu are high mountains and dense forests, and nothing can be found.
The chief of staff heard Yamashita Fengwen say this, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while, and in the distance, there was a roaring explosion, which was the troops of the 25th Army attacking the defensive position of Wei Lihuang's troops, and the soldiers on the front line did not know that their rear road was likely to be cut off soon.
"Hu Bin must have sent other troops over, and there are a lot of troops, at least 5 divisions of troops, if Hu Bin really wants to hold Xibu, at least 5 divisions, otherwise, he can't hold it, once our large army passes, plus the bombing of bombers in the sky, without 5 divisions of troops, it will be difficult for them to hold out for 3 days!" Yamashita continued.
He believed that Hu Bin must have dispatched a large army and wanted to encircle and annihilate him with Wei Lihuang.
"Then why don't we hear anything at all?" Yamashita Fengfu said.
"Hmph, count on the general headquarters to provide us with information, now Okamura Ningji doesn't dare to go to Hu Bin's side to investigate, their previous troops in Banmao may all come here, damn it, how did we meet such a commander!" Yamashita Fengwen said dissatisfiedly, he still looked down on Okamura Ningji.
"If it is a force of 5 divisions, I think our Xibu will be really dangerous, and then our entire army will fall into chaos, and there are only more than 10,000 people in Xib, it will be difficult to hold it!" The Chief of Staff spoke worriedly again.
"Telegraphed to Baiwu Qingji, asking him to come up with various ways to hold on until tomorrow morning, as long as it is tomorrow morning, our large army will come, in fact, the most difficult thing is before 12 o'clock this evening, after 12 o'clock, our reinforcements will come, and Hu Bin's troops are likely to retreat at that time, we must hold on!" Yamashita instructed the Chief of Staff.
"Hey!" The chief of staff heard it and immediately went out.
However, Hu Bin now also knows that the special regiment has taken action and has achieved good results.
"Tell Fang Lei, don't assemble the troops too densely, be careful of the bombers in the sky, and fight quickly and withdraw quickly, once the combat time exceeds half an hour, you must retreat immediately, you can't delay! As soon as it is dragged, the devil's bomber may come over. Hu Bin said to Mo Shot.
"Yes!" Mo shot quickly recorded the telegram over there.
"Also, tell Fang Lei that the devil's artillery position must be killed first, after killing the artillery position, I guess the devil also knows that I am going to attack the main defense line of Xibu, they will definitely not be able to retreat, and they will lure the enemy at this time." Hu Bin continued to speak there. (To be continued.) )
