Chapter 662 is still going back to India!
Li Qinwei and those division commanders watched the battle below on the high mountain, they could see the entire battlefield, so they were very clear about the situation below, Li Qinwei saw that his troops were injured a lot by the devil's grenades, and felt that the bazooka was still not enough, and they also needed the kind of infantry artillery that could be fired in a curved way.
"Master Li, the devil can't run away, and now it's divided!" Xu Zhuo looked at Li Qinwei and said.
"Well, come on, contact the British side and ask them not to move, and wait until we have cleared the passage. Division Commander Xu, and Division Commander Liu, it's up to you next, and once those devils retreat, you will let your soldiers urge those British troops to go up the mountain.
If they go up the mountain, they won't be able to bring those supplies, and they will be ours when the time comes, so we must drive them into the mountains and let them leave the supplies, these are ours! Li Qinwei looked at Xu Zhuo and Liu Wenhai and said.
"Understood. I have made it clear to those brigade commanders and regiment commanders before, there is no problem! Xu Zhuozhuo heard it, nodded with a smile, I heard that the British brought a lot of supplies this time, if they can grab it, it is also quite good.
Now it's time to see how to operate, don't think about resting tonight, it would be good to be able to drive those devils out from here.
"Nani, our 33rd and 55th divisions were attacked and suffered heavy casualties?" When Shojiro Iida heard the staff officer coming to report that his troops were under attack, he immediately stood up.
"Hey, this is a telegram!" The staff officer handed the telegram to Shojiro Iida, who picked it up and read it carefully.
"It's amazing. No wonder our commander attaches so much importance to Hu Bin, our two divisions and regiments fought with them, but they couldn't stop it. Come on, send a telegram to the commanders of the two divisions in front. If there is any situation to send a telegram to my side, and the 18th Division, do you need reinforcements to come over, let the 33rd Division decide it! After reading the telegram, Iida Shojiro said to the staff officers,
Now he doesn't want his troops to retreat. He also wanted to know what the combat effectiveness of Hu Bin's troops was, and he also hoped to see if it could be delayed until dawn tomorrow, because although the troops of his two divisions were not full, how could they be delayed until dawn in the face of the attack of Hu Bin's troops.
"Hey!" Several staff officers immediately went into action.
"Hitting Banmao's side means that Hu Bin's troops may not come to our side, he only has 10 divisions of troops. We have 6 divisions on our side, they still have to attack, they are not our opponents, now it depends on Banmao's side, how we are fighting, we need to assess the strength of the opponent! Shojiro Iida sat down as he spoke,
Now that Hu Bin's troops have appeared, he has also settled down. It's the unresolved things that make people feel terrible. Now that Hu Bin's troops have appeared, they are fighting, to see whose soldiers are powerful, and whose commanders are more powerful.
And on the side of the British troops, Slim also knew that now the Chinese troops were already attacking the Japanese troops, it seems. It seems that the fight is fierce. Everywhere there were gunshots and explosions. Judging from the current situation, it seems that China's troops have taken advantage.
"Commander, just now a telegram came from the Chinese side, saying that if we want to retreat, we will wait until they have cleared the battlefield. Otherwise, it will cause chaos on the battlefield! A staff officer said as he walked up to Slim's side.
"Well, order our troops not to move, don't move now, wait for the order, and pay attention to those Japanese troops. Now we don't want to take the initiative to attack, unless the devil comes to our side, let's kill him! Slim sat there and said very calmly, and the other generals were now looking at him,
They had a vague sense that Slim didn't seem to want to retreat at all. Because they must go back to India, today's bombing by the devils has brought them more than 20,000 casualties, so that the troops that can fight on their side are now less than 50,000, plus the wounded are more than 60,000, less than 70,000, and now they can't continue to consume, and they have to find a way to go back to India.
"Commander, when the Chinese troops come, do we need to retreat according to their wishes?" A major general asked.
"No, we can't retreat, let alone retreat to China, we have to go back to India, we must hold that side." Slim shook his head.
"However, according to what our country talked to them, they need to count the number of people, and our country needs to pay them money, if we don't retreat according to their orders, it may cause misunderstanding at that time!" Another major general said.
"We'll talk to them then, we can't be here, and we have to go to China, we must go back, now the number of troops on our side has been counted? If the statistics come out, give it to him together when the time comes! Let our country pay them, we still have to rush to the Indian side! Slim said very firmly.
"Yes, but the 18th Division of the devils in front of us is still blocking our way, if we want to continue to march, we must kill the 18th Division, and our soldiers, who have not rested for a day and a night, forcibly attack, our casualties may be very large, in this way, we still want help from the Chinese side, I am worried, the Chinese side will not help, their task is to rescue us, not to protect us back to India." A major general continued.
"I know, I'm worried about this now, I hope that the Chinese troops can beat the 33rd Division and the 55th Division more ruthlessly this time, so that their 18th Division may not dare to continue to block in front, they will either come to the front to support the troops of the 33rd Division, or retreat, no matter what, it will be very advantageous for us, and now it depends on how the Chinese troops are fighting!" Slim said with a sigh,
Now he is waiting for news from the 18th Division, they have launched an attack on the 18th Division last night, bringing a lot of casualties to the 18th Division, but the 18th Division has just entered the battle, so now they are still holding the defensive position, blocking the way for the British troops to return to India, and now he hopes that Hu Bin's troops can help solve this roadblock.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion in the distance was still violent, and they could all see the fire on the hill in the distance!
"Damn, are the troops behind us set up?" The division commander of the 33rd Division was very irritated and shouted, now his troops are being chased and beaten, and the troops of the entire line have been retreating, and they can't retreat to the devil's side, they can only retreat to the west, so that they can withdraw from the battlefield,
However, the Chinese troops pursued very fiercely, and the retreat lines of many troops could be locked at any time, and when the time came, they would be divided over the entire battlefield, fighting, not winning, retreating, and not retreating. Therefore, now the Japanese commanders, in a very anxious hurry, ordered 2 wings of troops to set up defenses on the main road of retreat, and waited for the troops behind them to withdraw.
"Boom, boom, boom!" "Report, the 55th Wing has blocked the retreat line, and now they are calling for reinforcements!" A staff officer stood up and reported.
"Yaga!" The division commander of the 55th Division heard it and scolded, the 55th Wing was the ace wing of his 55th Division, and now it was surrounded and could not get out.
"No, we can't be so passive, according to what we know now, there are 2 divisions of troops on the Chinese side, and there are 2 divisions on our side, as long as we hold on until dawn, the Chinese troops will be finished.
Come on, send a telegram to the 18th Division, asking them to send troops to this side, since they can't retreat, then kill them, they all say that Hu Bin's troops can fight, then I want to see, our 3 divisions can't beat their 2 divisions? The division commander of the 33rd Division immediately decided at this time that he didn't want to fight with Hu Bin's troops.
But up to now, he has 2 wings surrounded by Hu Bin's troops, and 1 wing of the 55th Division is also surrounded, and other wings have been sending a steady stream of telegrams asking for help.
Therefore, he made up his mind to mobilize the troops of the 18th Division to kill Hu Bin's troops together, and even if he could not kill them, he would drag them until dawn, and as soon as dawn came, they would have a huge advantage. When the staff officers heard the order of the commander of the 33rd Division, they immediately contacted the 18th Division, and after the 18th Division received the telegram asking for help, they immediately dispatched their troops, and they no longer defended here.
"Isn't it too dangerous to fight like this? There are still tens of thousands of British troops here, and if they rush over at that time, we will really be passive! The commander of the 55th Division felt so unstable and immediately spoke.
"The British troops don't dare to fight, unless you put a gun on their heads, otherwise, they won't give you a hard time, don't worry about them at all now, we just need to kill those Hu Bin's troops in front of us, and none of the British troops will want to escape! I don't believe that we have 3 divisions of troops. The troops of Hu Bin's 2 divisions can't win! The commander of the 33rd Division said very firmly, what he didn't know was that
Although Hu Bin's side has two divisions of troops into battle, there are still two divisions of troops that are reserves and can be put into the battlefield at any time.
"Report, there's an urgent telegram from the special regiment!" A staff officer took a telegram to Li Qinwei's side and reported.
"Huh? Urgent telegram, there is an abnormal movement in the 18th Division? Li Qinwei heard it, and immediately turned around and asked.
・・・・・・・・・・・I'm sorry brothers, but last night I had frozen shoulder, and I hurt all night, and I fell asleep in a daze at 11 o'clock this morning, and I woke up almost 6 o'clock in the evening, and now my right shoulder still hurts! I can only stick to the code word now, if it's still like this tomorrow, then I'll have to go to the hospital! Sitting on the code word every day, a problem with a body, hey! ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ (To be continued.) )
