Chapter 669: On the eve of the bombing

Fang Lei's troops were following behind the British troops, and when he saw the Japanese reconnaissance planes coming from the sky, he immediately said that it was good to come, because the Japanese reconnaissance planes were coming, and they would certainly be able to discover the British troops.

"Commander, Japanese reconnaissance aircraft!" A staff officer on the British side saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane and immediately reported to Slim, but his tone was a little anxious, he was worried that the devil's bomber would come over later.

"Damn, why didn't they bomb the Chinese troops, aren't the Chinese troops in Banmao now?" Slim immediately got out of the car and looked at the plane in the sky and said.

He thought that today's devil's bombers would bomb the Chinese troops, but he didn't expect that those reconnaissance planes would come here, and he wanted to march last night, hoping to let the Chinese troops block behind so that they could quickly leave here.

"I don't know, maybe this plane is here to investigate." A major general immediately spoke.

"Hopefully, let our troops speed up their march, there is not much to go, there are still more than 500 kilometers to go, at our current pace, we will be able to return to India in 2 days, and when we get to India, we will be safe!" Slim glanced at the reconnaissance plane in the sky and said that now he must leave here as soon as possible with his troops.

"Do we need to prepare our airing troops?" A major general asked, looking at Slim.

"Prepare, go to the front and prepare, if the bombers really come, it's trouble! By the way, let the soldiers on foot go into the forest immediately. Go inside! Slim said again.

"The vehicle continues to move on?" Another major general asked.

"Well, the vehicle moves on! Let our air defense forces guard! Slim nodded.

"Yes!" Those people heard it and immediately went to arrange it.

On the Japanese side, Okamura Ninji immediately received a report from the reconnaissance plane in front, which had spotted the ranks of the British troops on the march and was now asking for instructions. Do you want to send bombers over to bomb it?

"Send it out, now we haven't found Hu Bin's troops at all, send them out immediately and bomb them!" Okamura Ninji made up his mind and said that he was going to fight India in the future anyway, and he couldn't let the British troops go back now, so they found out that the British troops were definitely going to bomb.

"That Hu Bin's troops, they are now on Indo's side, for us in Mandalay. It is always a threat, and it is also a huge hidden danger for the attacking troops of the 25th Army, if Hu Bin's troops really storm Mandalay, then the 25th Army may not be able to retreat! A staff officer asked Ninji Okamura.

"Damn it!" Okamura Ninji heard the staff officer's words and cursed.

Of course, he knows the current situation of the 25th Army, and it is good that Hu Bin does not fight Mandalay. Once Mandalay is really attacked, the 25th Army will be really in trouble. It is even said that Hu Bin may not attack Mandalay, but directly attack the troops of the 25th Army from behind, and then the Mandalay side must send reinforcements out, and then Mandalay's defense will be insufficient.

In Okamura Ningji's eyes, Hu Bin's troops were able to do such a thing. There is a good chance that he will do so. But if you want the 25th Army to withdraw from the front line, it will not work, once the 25th Army withdraws from the front line, then Wei Lihuang's troops will also start to threaten Mandalay, so Mandalay will not be safe.

Mandalay was an important fulcrum for their land offensive against India. It is also an important fulcrum that threatens China, and it cannot be lost like this.

"If we want to hold Mandalay, then we need at least 7 divisions of troops, and we can't take the initiative to attack, according to the deduction of our staff, to prevent Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang's troops from capturing Mandalay, we need 7 divisions, and our 7 divisions are placed in Mandalay, and the rest of the places must be insufficient!" The chief of staff next to him looked at Okamura Ninji and said.

"I know that the current base camp means that we want to take India, and the British troops in India are not many at all, as long as our troops pass, the British troops will not be able to stop them. But with Hu Bin's troops here, we can't fight India wholeheartedly at all, we have to divide a part of the troops to come and see Hu Bin, damn Hu Bin, why did he come here? Okamura Ninji said this and scolded directly.

And at this time, on the side of Mandalay Airport, the devil's bombers had already begun to take off, and the target was the British troops, who were now going to bomb the British marching troops.

"Report, Slim's telegram!" A secretary arrived at Churchill with a telegram.

"Yes!" Churchill nodded, took the telegram and read it.

Now he is busy and anxious, the German troops are pressing forward step by step, and they are already bombing their Britain, and the British troops in Southeast Asia have been losing and retreating, and the troops over there are also insufficient, and now they hope that the Chinese troops will come out and help them block the Japanese troops.

But now it seems that it is not going well, today a day, they spent 200 million meters to ask for Chinese troops to help, earlier known this, it is better to make it clear to the Chinese side at the beginning, let them send troops to fight in Southeast Asia, their own troops back to the British, because they did not say before, the Chinese side thinks that Britain deceived them, and now they are very dissatisfied with the British.

"Let Wright ask China's Hu Bin, ask him if their troops are still in the middle of now, and let Wright remind Hu Bin that Japanese bombers may bomb them!" Churchill looked at the telegram and said to the secretary.

Of course, he was not kind, but asked Wright to test Hu Bin, he wanted to know if Hu Bin's troops had been exposed, and if so, then the Japanese bombers must have bombed the Chinese troops first.

"Yes!" The secretary was going out right away!

"Report, the German Air Force is attacking again, many cities along our coast have been bombed by the Luftwaffe, and now we need the United States to increase military assistance to us, and Germany has begun to attack North Africa, our troops there are seriously insufficient, once Germany occupies North Africa, we will lose an important colony, and we may lack a lot of supplies on our own territory at that time." A general from one of the units came to Churchill's side and said.

"Damn, the United States is discussing this matter now, it is estimated that there is no problem, as long as the United States begins to support us on a large scale, I think there is no problem in holding North Africa!" Churchill heard the general say about the war now and cursed.

In the face of Germany, they have always been in a state of being beaten, in any place, they can not stop the German attack, once Germany occupies North Africa, the next target is the Middle East, this is Churchill's speculation, what he doesn't know is that Germany's next target is not the Middle East at all, but the Soviet Union!

"Report, Wright asks to see the Commander!" At this time, on Myitkyina's side, a guard soldier came to Li Dalong's side and reported.

"See the commander, the commander went to sleep, you let him in!" Li Dalong lay on the recliner and said to the guard.

"Yes!" The guards immediately went out.

Soon, Wright arrived at Hu Bin's headquarters with an interpreter.

"General Li, I just received a telegram saying that the Japanese bombers may be going to bomb your troops in Indo, and I came here to remind you!" Wright saw Li Dalong and immediately said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you! You don't have to worry about this, our troops can defend it! Li Dalong was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but he also knew that the things on the front line could not be known to the British, and he could only say that his troops could defend it.

"That's good, I'm just here to remind you." Wright said with a smile and a nod.

"Report, special regiment telegram!" At this time, a staff officer took a telegram from the special regiment to Li Dalong and said.

When Li Dalong heard this, he took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and when he looked at it, he found that it was sent by Fang Lei, saying that he had discovered that a Japanese reconnaissance plane had appeared in the sky above the British marching troops.

Fang Lei speculated that the Japanese side might send bombers to bomb the British troops, and Fang Lei wanted to change his strategy and not directly attack the British troops, but hoped to go around to the front, block the advance of the British troops, and then let the Japanese bombers and even ground troops come to attack.

"You go and send this telegram to the commander, this needs to be decided by the commander." Li Dalong took a look at it, gave the telegram to the staff officer, and asked him to go to Hu Bin, because Fang Lei's operation this time was planned by Hu Bin, and Li Dalong didn't know what the specific goal was, so he didn't know how to command.

And after the staff officer left, Li Dalong looked at Wright with a smile, before he thought that the British were really kind to remind him, but now it seems that it is not, the British want to test themselves, he wants to test whether his troops are exposed to enemy bombers, so that they can make judgments on the marching troops.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Wright, for reminding me that my troops are still hurrying to get out of the battle with the Japanese troops, and your British troops can get away, but our troops can't, and now we are still fighting against the Japanese troops!" Li Dalong said to Wright with a smile.

"Oh, then be careful, Japanese bombers may appear." Wright was quite happy when he heard it, but he still pretended to care about the Chinese troops very much and reminded Li Dalong. (To be continued.) )
