Xu Zhuozhuo, the commander of the 232nd Division, heard that the two and a half divisions here were all surrounded by the three of them, and immediately asked them what to do.

"Your troops have just changed their outfits, and they have only gone through tactical drills, and when they came, Brother Bin sent me a telegram, saying that your commander may not be familiar with the use of weapons, so let you be a reserve, and at the same time, your two division commanders should also follow us and watch this battle.

Of course, we don't mean that you can't fight, you are all from the old Red Army, and you will definitely fight better than us, but we are afraid that you are not familiar with weapons, and our tactics in the past are no longer suitable for the current weapons, therefore, for the sake of insurance, Brother Bin asked you to come over this time to observe, and at the same time, as the general reserve, Brother Bin is worried that the troops of the 18th Division will come from the side to assist the 33rd Division and the 55th Division in defense.

As soon as our reconnaissance unit discovers that the troops of the 18th Division are moving, you will start to act, and if they do not act, when it is time to fight, I will order each of your divisions to send a regiment of troops out and fight together, do you think it is okay? Li Qinwei said very cautiously.

He didn't dare to raise up in front of these people, when these people started fighting, he was still a little kid fighting in the mud, in order to take care of their emotions, Li Qinwei said very carefully.

"What, as a reserve, when we were in Shandong before, we were the main force, how did we get here to be the reserve, no, no, this is not good!" Xu Zhuozhuo heard that Li Qinwei put the two of them in the position of the reserve force, and said quite dissatisfied.

"Yes, don't worry, we can also take down them, you let us be the first echelon of the attack force, we promise to take it down for you!" Liu Wenhai, the commander of the 234th Division, also shouted.

"This really doesn't work. This is Brother Bin's order, you came here this time to observe, to be honest, you 5 divisions, you all need to observe. Brother Bin can let you serve as the main attack force, not now, Division Commander Xu, Division Commander Wang is your old subordinate, you ask him, we really don't mean to look down on you.

The troops have changed their outfits, not according to the previous way of playing, you have only been redressed for 3 months, and these 3 months. The training is all jungle warfare, and for large-scale operations, you have not trained at all, and now we are not at ease to let you serve as the main attack force. Li Qinwei still said very tactfully.

"Yes, old company commander, it's really not good, it's not that we have to fight for this credit. In Brother Bin's troops, there is no need to fight for credit. Every unit will have a lot of battles to fight, provided that it can withstand it.

I believe that you have no problem with the old company commander, but the grassroots commanders below may not be able to, and the current weapons and equipment have very high requirements for the grassroots commanders.

And I've heard about it. After a while, Brother Bin will select some grassroots officers with rich combat experience from the units of several of our divisions to serve as deputies in your division, and he will also select some people from your units to serve as deputies in our troops. Exchange and use, let our grassroots commanders quickly master the current tactics, old company commander, we really don't want to take credit from you! Wang Changhe looked at Xu Zhuo Zhuo and said.

"It's really different?" When Xu Zhuo Zhuo heard Wang Changhe say this, he believed it a little in his heart, but he still wanted to fight for it.

"You can see us fight at night, and you can evaluate in your heart whether your grassroots commander can do it! Now it's not time for us to take Hanyang, if we can reduce casualties, we must minimize them, if the casualties are large, Brother Bin will be mad, and there will be your good fruit to eat when the time comes.

Brother Bin has always emphasized the casualty ratio, if a battle and the casualties exceed Brother Bin's expectations, if it is caused by the commander, it will be quite troublesome, and Brother Bin will not let it go easily. Wang Changhe looked at Xu Zhuo Zhuo and said.

"Okay, let's see, when the time comes, we're going to mobilize a regiment of troops to follow you, right?" Liu Wenhai heard it, thought for a while, and spoke.

"Okay, I thought I could get a big fight this time!" Xu Zhuozhuo said with a little interest.

"There will be, follow Brother Bin, I'm not afraid that there will be no fight, I'm afraid that you won't want to fight!" Li Qinwei said with a smile.

"That's good!" Xu Zhuozhuo nodded.

"Come, brothers, this is the map sent by the special regiment, the enemy's location, how many troops are marked now, Division Commander Wang, let's assign a combat mission!" As he spoke, Li Qinwei took the map from the staff officer behind him, spread it on the ground, and several people looked around the map.

At this time, Xiang Feng walked away, he now has a map sent by the special regiment, he wants to gather the regiment commanders below him to see how to fight, how to quickly break through the devil's defense line.

However, on the Mandalay side, Shojiro Iida has been restless, he feels that something will happen, but he doesn't know what it is.

"Commander, what's wrong?" A staff officer saw Shojiro Iida pacing irritably outside the headquarters, and immediately went over to ask.

"I don't know, I always feel that something bad is going to happen, but now that we are fighting very well on the front line, the commander has mobilized two divisions to rush to our side, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of anything big happening in the near future, and the only one who brings variables is Hu Bin, but according to the reconnaissance of our reconnaissance plane, no signs of the enemy's movement to our side have been found.

And judging from the direction of the British retreat, Hu Bin's troops did not move, and if they did, the British troops should have retreated to Myitkyina, not to the north. Call! Iida Shojiro said with a sigh behind his back.

He doesn't know what went wrong now, because from the analysis of the intelligence in his hands, he is sure of the retreating British troops, and now the British troops have been surrounded by himself, and he can't escape at all, but why he is so confused, he can't explain it.

"Report, headquarters telegram!" A staff officer took a telegram to Shojiro Iida and reported.

"Yo Xi!" Shojiro Iida heard it, took the telegram and read it.

The telegram was sent by Okamura Ninji, who reminded Iida Shojiro to pay attention to the movements of Hu Bin's troops, and not to be confused by appearances, and to carefully consider the possible changes behind the appearances.

And Iida Shojiro must be vigilant, especially on the side of Mandalay, don't let Hu Bin's troops succeed in a sneak attack, once the sneak attack is successful, not only will the troops of the 15th Army be in trouble, but also the 25th Army defending Wei Lihuang, it will also be very troublesome, because if Hu Bin's troops occupy Mandalay, then it will be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the 15th Army and the 25th Army of the devil.

"Damn, how do I know what Hu Bin wants to do." After Iida Shojiro saw the telegram, he cursed, he was actually worried about Hu Bin's troops, but worried about what's the use.

"Send a telegram to the commander, I will pay attention to the defense of Mandalay, and I will order the troops on the front line to end the encirclement of the British as soon as possible, and if I can, I would like to order my troops to force the British troops to surrender, so that it may be safer to withdraw the troops on the front line." Shojiro Iida said to the staff officer just now.

"Hey!" The staff officer immediately went to send it, and Iida Shojiro also followed, went to the map of the headquarters, and took the information and looked at it carefully, he wanted to find out from this information, Hu Bin's possible actions.

In Yangon, Okamura Ninji soon received a telegram from Shojiro Iida, and after seeing his telegram, Okamura Ninji also sat there and thought carefully.

"When did Hu Bin's troops arrive here?" Okamura Ninji suddenly asked.

The chief of staff next to him heard this and immediately replied: "Nine days ago, our reconnaissance plane discovered that Hu Bin's troops were building fortifications. Moreover, they were all repaired at night, and Hu Bin's troops could not be seen at all during the day, and I did not know where Hu Bin's troops were hiding, because there were primeval forests everywhere, and our reconnaissance planes could not find his troops. ”

"Yo Si. This is Hu Bin's style, he fights, he has always liked to hide, do not want to be discovered by our reconnaissance planes, so it seems that our front line may be attacked by Hu Bin's troops at any time, it is possible at any time, maybe now Hu Bin's troops are not far from our front-line troops, waiting for us to get dark! Okamura Ninji heard him say this, and felt in his heart that Hu Bin's troops must have acted.

He knows Hu Bin very well, he fought two battles with Hu Bin and lost twice, and there are still lessons to be learned, knowing that Hu Bin likes to use the woods and night to march.

"It's impossible, it's full of primeval forests, they just arrived here, they don't even know the terrain, how did they come to our side?" The chief of staff heard it and said with some disbelieving.

"No, you don't know, in Hu Bin's opinion, this is not difficult at all, just march along the main road." Okamura Ninji heard it, and immediately shook his head and said.

"In that case, we have to remind the troops in front of us to pay attention to Hu Bin's troops!" The chief of staff heard it, looked at him very nervously and said.

"Now we don't know exactly what Hu Bin's purpose is, whether it is a few divisions of our 15th Army on the front line, or this place in Mandalay. If it is those troops in front, it is a good thing, at least Hu Bin's troops will not rush to Mandalay, and will not cut off the rear route of our 15th Army and 25th Army.

If Hu Bin really wants to fight, it means that he is fully prepared to defeat Mandalay and hold Mandalay. Okamura Ningji said with great worry, he knew Hu Bin too well. (To be continued.) )
