Li Dalong heard Hu Bin's words, he felt a little disappointed, he thought that those planes came over, which could provide great help to defeat Mandalay, but now hearing Hu Bin say this, he knows that those pilots still need to grow, and they still need more actual combat experience, and now they may not play a big role, therefore, Li Dalong feels that Mandalay is not good to fight now.

"It won't work, I don't know yet, it depends on how we command, I'll go back to the airport at night, and I'll leave the matter to you, now let's discuss, how we can win this battle, Ma Lai, we must eat it." Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and said.

"Well, if this is the case, we will attack Malai directly, and there will be no problem for the tanks to raid in one night, but the infantry divisions that keep up are still insufficient, and there are not many infantry in the tank troops after all, and the main purpose of our tank troops is to raid the position and tear apart the devil's defense line, not to destroy the enemy! The devil's defense line is dozens of kilometers, and I feel that it is very difficult to raid by armored troops alone! Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.

"There is difficulty, but as long as the infantry of the infantry division and armored division that passed in front of us can occupy more positions, our infantry has passed, and there is a place to hide, then there is no big problem, we defend during the day and take the initiative to attack at night, as for the tanks, we can withdraw first, withdraw to the forest, and hide from the devil's bombers!" Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.

"Do you really want to fight like this? In the event of defeat, the troops in front of us are in danger! Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.

"We have to fight like this, there is no problem with the armored forces, the only problem is the infantry, but there is no way to avoid this danger, we can only do a good job in command, how to fight in front, it depends on the commander of the front line, you go and order the troops of the 99th Division, prepare for the attack, and the armored division!" Hu Bin thought for a while and said.

Hu Bin is still determined to fight, if he doesn't fight, if he doesn't fight, if he doesn't fight, the devils will have no pressure, so they will dare to attack India unscrupulously, and then wave their troops south, attack their own troops, and now they can make the devils unable to take care of each other, if they can continue to occupy the positions of some devils, the devils will have to send more troops over in India. In this way, India will not lose it, and there will be no danger to the northwest direction of China.

"Okay, then let's fight, do you need to notify the domestic side?" Seeing that Hu Bin was so resolute, Li Dalong nodded and agreed with Hu Bin's opinion.

"No, Commander Jiang and Commander Mao have given me the greatest command power, we just need to let go and fight." Hu Bin shook his head and said.

Then, Hu Bin discussed the specific details with Li Dalong and asked, originally Hu Bin wanted the three divisions behind to follow immediately, but later discussed with Li Dalong, or according to the specific situation of Ma Lai, and then to mobilize the troops, an infantry division plus three infantry brigades of the armored division, as long as more than half of Ma Lai's troops were killed at night, they would have no problem holding the breakthrough, and they would continue to attack the troops in the evening of the next day.

After discussing the details, Hu Bin left the headquarters and went to a conference room outside the headquarters.

"Hello Commander!" As soon as Hu Bin entered the conference room, the division commanders, deputy division commanders, and brigade commanders all stood up, all of them were acquaintances, and they were cadres of the 99th Division before!

"Haha, here, I'm a little busy just now, I can't come and see you right away!" Hu Bin saw those generals and said very happily.

"Commander, it's okay, now we also know that a big battle is coming up, where do you have time!" One of the division commanders said to Hu Bin with a smile, these divisions were the reserve troops of the previous divisions of the 99th Group Army, and now they have been transferred to the front line as the main force.

"Well, it's really busy right now! I may not be able to entertain you in the evening, I have other things, I have arranged for the cooking class to cook good dishes, you all have a good meal!

You have been on the road every day these days, and you have been busy, so you should have a good rest tonight, and your troops will rest here for a few days, and then go to the front line again! Hu Bin sat down with a smile and said, then pressed his hand and motioned for them to sit down as well.

"Commander, you're busy, don't worry about us!" Those division commanders all said with a smile.

"Well, have you read all the information you just showed?" Hu Bin smiled and nodded, and when those division commanders heard it, they immediately became serious and nodded.

"It's good to see, the devils have more than 300,000 troops in Mandalay, and now the reinforcements from Yangon have exceeded 400,000. And in Rangoon, there are also more than 300,000 troops, and they can send more troops to reinforce Rangoon at any time if the Japanese need it.

That is to say, they can also reinforce Mandalay at any time, and we, now only have about 350,000 troops, to deal with more than 700,000 troops of the devils, if there is no devil's air force, I am still not afraid of them, our troops can fight better than the devil's troops, whether it is a single soldier or a scale force operation, our strength is stronger than the devil.

But now the devil's air force is our heart disease, and we don't dare to let go of our hands and feet to fight now, because we want to control the casualties, once the casualties are too large, then it will not be us to attack the devils, it is estimated that the devils will definitely come to counterattack us, and then there will be huge problems in the entire southwest defense line.

Therefore, in the next battle, as the highest level of the commander of the front-line troops, I hope that you will take into account the problem of casualties among the troops, do not fight brutally, do not fight indiscriminately, and do not be reluctant to use ammunition, relying on the soldiers to launch a charge, this is not okay! Hu Bin looked at the division commanders in front of him and said.

"Commander, don't worry, who will command the troops to charge now, unless they run out of ammunition and food, otherwise, who will dare to blow the trumpet?" One of the division commanders looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Well, that's good, these days, you have to order the soldiers to have a good rest, once you go to the front line, it is estimated that it is very difficult to take a good rest. These days, if the troops should add anything, they will find the political commissar and ask the political commissar to go to the logistics warehouse and ask! Hu Bin looked at them and said.

Those division commanders nodded and looked at Hu Bin, Hu Bin saw them today, in fact, there was nothing to do, just because they had just arrived at the front line and returned to the expeditionary force, Hu Bin wanted to see them.

After chatting with them for more than an hour, Hu Bin let them move freely, and later Li Dalong would come to see them, he got into the car and began to drive towards the airport, he wanted to see the commander of the aviation division and the young pilots, these people, if they can fight a few air battles without sacrificing, are the backbone air combat commanders and pilots in Yan'an and even the country.

Hu Bin got into the car, leaned on the seat and fell asleep directly, he has been in the headquarters every day for the past few days, and he has something to deal with at any time, so he didn't get a good night's sleep, and now that he is in the car, he must have a good rest.

On the Yan'an side, Li Zongren had already followed the commander-in-chief to a tank assembly plant on the outskirts of Yan'an at this time.

When he first entered the assembly plant, Li Zongren was completely shocked by the equipment in the factory and the neatly arranged tanks.

"Commander Zhu, this, this, is this really produced by yourself?" Li Zongren pointed to the neatly arranged tanks and asked the commander-in-chief accompanying him.

"Yes, these tanks are going to leave the factory soon, and they will be driven out after the number is called! Now the 5th armored division we are forming is deployed on the Hebei side! The commander-in-chief smiled and nodded.

Now Yan'an has decided that it will no longer hide its strength, no matter what Chongqing will think, it is still necessary to develop its own troops and continue to fight devils.

"Oh my God, you guys actually got it out!" Li Zongren said and walked to the place where the tanks were parked, looking at those tanks, they were obviously bigger than the devil's tanks.

"This is our 40th Division main battle tank, and the soldiers call him the Siberian Tiger, in order to remember that our Northeast is the first place to be invaded by devils, and the soldiers also hope that these tanks will one day be able to kill back and drive the devils into the sea." The commander-in-chief said to Li Zongren with a smile.

"How's the performance?" Li Zongren looked at the commander-in-chief and asked.

"There is no problem with fighting devils' heavy tanks, whether it is mobility or defense, it is better than devils' heavy tanks, the most important thing is that our artillery system is better than the devil's artillery system, we really want to fight, devils' heavy tanks are not our opponents!" The commander-in-chief said proudly.

Because after the arguments of those scientists, the heavy tank of the devil has no way to compare with the Type 40 main battle tank.

"Is that all there is to it?" Li Zongren asked again.

"There are also armored personnel carriers, specially designed for armored divisions, and a medium tank, produced at another plant, a Type 40-1 medium tank. The mobility is better than this, the protection is worse than that of a medium tank, and the firepower is a little worse, but with the attack of the main battle tank, the effect is very good! The commander-in-chief introduced Li Zongren.

At this time, Li Zongren had already climbed onto the tank, stood on the top of the tank, and looked at the area full of tanks, there were more than 200 of them, and his mood was very complicated, he knew that now Yan'an has completely the strength to compete with Chongqing, and has surpassed Chongqing's strength, how the country should go in the future, Li Zongren is still very worried.

Li Zongren stood on it and watched for a while, then got down from the tank and asked the commander-in-chief to take him to the assembly workshop to have a look. (To be continued.) )
