Hu Bin: They were sitting in the headquarters at this time. The troops of the special regiment, that is, Hu Bin's guard regiment, are now all dispersed, and there is only one company of guard troops left around Hu Bin.

Soon, the infantry unit also set off, and the armored unit escorted the infantry unit to set off, Hu Bin still needs to wait, and after the front is completely cleaned up, Hu Bin will set off, however, those staff officers don't have to follow the past, they still have to contact various units here, Hu Bin will take his own communication troops over.

"Brother Bin, a telegram has been sent from the front line, and the troops of the special regiment are already cleaning up the nearby devil reconnaissance troops. It is now less than 30 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao! Mo Shot received a telegram from the communications soldier and said to Hu Bin.

"Let's go, let's go!" Hu Bin nodded, stood up and spoke.

It's already more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is estimated that it will take more than 3 hours from Tangshan to Qinhuangdao.

At this time, on the Qinhuangdao side, the commander of the Eighth Division, Sasaki Zhiyi, was sitting in the headquarters, and he was wearing a single coat, because the temperature in the underground headquarters was very high.

Japan has been operating here for several years, so the headquarters has installed a boiler, which is very warm, not only warm here, but also in the devil's barracks, and the same, those underground barracks are equipped with heating, and the devil's barracks are built on the mountain.

"Kato-kun, come, some sake? This is what I brought from the country, not much. Sasaki said as he looked at the major general in front of him.

Kato is the commander of a brigade under him, and as soon as he came here to take a look, he was stopped by Sasaki and drank together, and he drank from noon to now.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we are in a very dangerous situation now, we don't have many troops behind us at all, and if the Chinese army comes over next year, we will fall into a situation where there is no way out.

Once China breaks through our second line of defense, what should we do, and will it be too late to build a line of defense later? The major general named Kato asked worriedly, looking at Sasaki.

"Yo Xi, you don't have to worry about this, the imperial base camp will definitely have something to consider, we just need to stay here, whether the Chinese troops will come over, I don't know yet, maybe next year, maybe not." Sasaki poured Kato full of wine and said with a smile.

"Why? The empire is now facing China's troops, and they can't win, even our navy has suffered losses in China, why won't they fight, division commander, do you know what? Kato heard it and looked at Sasaki in amazement.

"Haha, the empire doesn't need Chinese land anymore, all of our countries will now immigrate to Australia, and the only threat to us now is the United States.

You also know that the United States and the United Kingdom are wearing a pair of pants, and now the British mainland has been beaten down by Germany, Australia, Canada, India and Southeast Asia, all of which have been beaten down by us.

Moreover, our empire and the United States have no possibility of peace talks at all, and the United States will not recognize our occupation of Australia, and now those who can admit that we occupy Australia are Germany and Italy, and other countries will not recognize it, so the empire needs the support of China.

In fact, in recent years, we have lost the most troops in China, so if necessary, the empire will negotiate with China! Sasaki said with a smile.

"Negotiating with China? Yo Xi, that's good, now we are really not sure to win China, our General Okamura Ninji and Hu Bin on the Chinese side fought several times, and they all suffered defeats, and other generals were also killed by Hu Bin a lot.

Fortunately, Hu Bin is injured now, otherwise if Hu Bin is transferred to the northeast, it will be a huge threat to our Kwantung Army! Kato nodded and said.

"Yes, the generals of the empire now, including you and me, are not sure of winning when facing Hu Bin, so it would be good if Hu Bin was injured and died." Sasaki said with a smile.

"Haha, Yo Xi, it's best to die!" Kato heard it, thought about it and said.

"Haha, but, you really don't have to worry, the Imperial base camp has speculated, negotiate with China, China will agree, we will give them all the northeast, and at the same time, give them some money as war reparations, so that China will recognize our control over Australia.

China will agree, if it doesn't, if the empire really wants to fight with China, China will not have a good life, I think, the base camp, will definitely arrange people to go to China and contact China! Sasaki said with a smile.

"Yo Xi, if that's the case, I'll rest assured, so that our empire will really get a huge continent." Kato nodded and said.

"Alright, come on, cheers." Sasaki raised his glass and said to Kato.

"Yo Xi, come on, cheers!" Kato also picked up the wine glass, touched it with Sasaki, and dried.

"Report, many of the troops we went out to reconnoiter this morning have not yet returned, and they cannot be contacted now." At this time, a staff officer pushed the door in and said to Sasaki.

"Nani?" Sasaki heard it and stood up sharply.

"Hey, the reconnaissance troops who went out this morning have not come back until now, and they can't be contacted, we are worried, did they meet the Chinese troops?" The staff officer bowed his head and said.

"Yaga, go to the headquarters." When Sasaki heard this, he immediately picked up his gun and command knife and walked outside, and Kato followed.

When he arrived at the headquarters, the staff officers looked at him.

"What the hell is going on, when did you lose contact?" Sasaki stood in the headquarters hall and spoke.

"Report, at about 12 noon today, lost contact, they were routine reconnaissance, 100 kilometers to our south, a total of 20 squads out, but none of them came back. I can't get in touch now. Another senior staff officer stood up and reported.

"Report, the latest intelligence, the base camp, found that a Chinese army has been stationed in Tangshan, I don't know the number of the troops, it is estimated that it is to be deployed there, let us be cautious and don't mess with this force." At this time, a staff officer came in with a telegram and said to Sasaki.

"There's a troop from Tangshan? Damn, they deployed 5 divisions of troops around Beiping, and now they are going to deploy troops? Sasaki heard it and said in surprise.

"Your Excellency the division commander, I think that China must plan to deploy in advance, once the temperature rises, the Chinese troops will plan to launch an attack, and we also have intelligence before that the command of Chinese Commander Peng has been set up in Beiping, and they will definitely deploy a large number of troops around Beiping.

Today's reconnaissance unit has reconnoitred 100 kilometers to the front, and I think that the Chinese troops will definitely not be satisfied, and it is estimated that the Chinese reconnaissance troops have engaged in a battle on the front line. Kato said.

"Yo Xi, it's almost 3 o'clock now, there will be an hour at most, it's going to be dark, it may snow tonight, forget it, don't scout it yet, remind our outposts, be vigilant, and our sentinels should also be vigilant, although the possibility of Chinese troops coming over tonight is not high, but we can't take it lightly." Sasaki looked at his watch and said.

"Hey, it is estimated that it is impossible to fight tonight, the troops from Tangshan just came, it is such a cold day, and it may snow, how can they fight in such a weather environment, if they fight outside, I estimate that those soldiers will not even be able to hold their guns steadily." Kato also nodded beside him and said.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, now that we have 20 squads to scout out, and we can't contact them now, do we want to arrange for the troops to go to them!" The chief of staff next to him looked at Sasaki and said.

"Yo Xi, you can arrange to send troops to find them according to the data they reported. However, we are reminded to go out to look for the troops, pay attention to safety, one is to worry about the Chinese troops, and the other is to pay attention to the fact that once there is a snowstorm at night, then find a place to hide first. Sasaki thought for a moment and said to the chief of staff.

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded.

"Our troops have reconnoitred too far, and now that the Chinese troops are coming, our reconnoiter distance should not exceed 80 kilometers in the future." Sasaki continued.

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded.

"Alright, let's take note of today's events, that's all." Sasaki said to the nervous staff officers.

"Hey!" The staff officers nodded and said.

At this time, Hu Bin, with the guards and soldiers, rushed to Qinhuangdao in a vehicle, this road was safe, the troops in front had almost finished the reconnaissance troops released by the devils, and now they could drive over.

"Brother Bin, it's getting dark, what time is it?" Zhang Fan looked at the sky outside, and then looked at his watch, it was only past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's going to snow heavily, if it doesn't snow heavily, it is estimated that it will be dark at 5 o'clock, and it will be dark early here." Hu Bin also looked outside and spoke.

"There is no impact on this kind of fighting?" Zhang Fan then asked.

"Yes, the battle has an impact, but it's good to be able to catch the devils off guard, and when they don't react, maybe we'll all surprise closer!" Hu Bin heard it, smiled and said.

At this time, on the defense line of the devils, many devils came out, all of them were small teams and squads, and they wanted to continue to look for the reconnaissance troops who went out in the morning on their side. (To be continued.) )
