Hu Bin learned that Okamura Ningji was coming, knowing that this person was not easy to deal with, he would definitely not give himself a good life, originally he was in command of the Battle of Changsha, and was annihilated 8 divisions with a brigade of troops, Hu Bin thought that it was impossible for him to come out, but he didn't expect that the Japanese base camp did not let him seppuku, but let him come back.

Okamura Ningci is not easy to deal with, Hu Bin knows, but now Hu Bin can't think of a good way for a while, so he can only fight according to his own will first, regardless of Okamura Ningci, it is better to get the troops right now.

Hu Bin estimated that the defenders of Shiyan and Xiangyang would retreat, and Okamura Ningji would not let those troops be killed by himself, he knew that the strength of a wing or a brigade in one place would be eaten by himself.

Therefore, Hu Bin asked Political Commissar Li Nian to immediately send people from the working group to come over and recruit troops here, but not many people fled here, and as long as they do a good job in recruiting troops, I believe that they will still be able to recruit a lot of troops.

By noon, the devils on the Jingzhou side were indeed under the cover of the air force and began to leave the city, and it was impossible for Xiang Feng to let them go like this, and it was not very difficult for Hu Bin's troops to occupy Jingzhou.

The devils got out of the way, for Hu Bin and them, it was not a merit, and it was a merit to kill those devils, so Hu Bin and Xiang Feng wanted to kill those devils who wanted to retreat.

And in Shiyan, there are also reconnaissance troops in Xiangyang, they also sent telegrams, the defenders of the two cities are retreating, and now they are installing a lot of mines along the way to block the retreat of those devils.

"Baga, they haven't left the station for 10 miles so far, if it goes on like this, when will they be able to reach the next city!" Okamura Ninji saw the telegrams sent by the troops in three places. Said very dissatisfied.

"Hu Bin: They installed mines along the line of our retreat, and our troops did not have time to retreat at all, and it was difficult for our sappers to find their mines, the route was too long, and if we kept using a mine detector rod, it was estimated that the speed would be even slower.

But if you go straight ahead. Will there be casualties among our troops, or will it affect the march of our troops, does Hu Bin want to eat our troops? But our reconnaissance plane did not find any traces of troop movements along the way, what did he want to do? The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and asked.

"He wants to kill the troops in Jingzhou, and then go to fight the troops in Xiangyang, he wants to eat all our defenders in those places and reduce our troops, damn it!" Okamura Ninji opened his mouth and scolded.

"What, him. He! The chief of staff heard this and looked at Okamura Ninji in surprise.

"He had a big appetite and ordered them, regardless of the casualties, to move on after being bombed, and to push the damaged vehicles aside. Hu Bin must not have many troops over there.

Up to 3 days, after 3 days. Hu Bin and his troops will go over there, let them hurry up, and tell the two wing commanders that if they don't want to be wiped out, they must give up part of it and march quickly. Okamura Ninji said.

"Hey!" The chief of staff heard. Immediately went and ordered.

"You really want this, I think after my troops are assembled, how can you fight, hum, the establishment of an army. What's the use, there are no soldiers, no veterans, just rely on those recruits to fight me, I see how many casualties you can bear. Okamura Ninji looked at the map and sneered.

When he came back this time, he wanted to kill Hu Bin, and then attack Changsha again to open up the communication line from China to Southeast Asia!

At night, Xiang Feng's troops still blocked the devils who came out of Jingzhou City, and it took one night to kill them, seize a large amount of materials, and have a lot of money.

At this time, Li Nian also came over with the troops and began to recruit troops in Jingzhou, because the devils in Jingzhou were killed, and the people here also knew, so now many people see that Hu Bin's troops have come over and have joined the troops.

More than 2,000 soldiers were recruited that afternoon, and in the past few days, a total of less than 6,000 soldiers have been recruited.

According to the results of Hu Bin's discussion, in each locality, at most one battalion of troops was stationed to carry out training. Anyway, in the entire western part of Hubei, there are many villages, the forests are also dense, and each station is less than 5 miles apart, according to the previous distribution, Hu Bin's division will be stationed in Jingzhou, and there are troops of the 106th Division with him, but now the 106th Division is more than 1,000 cadres, and 500 recruits will be divided into them for training.

According to Hu Bin's deployment, the 99th Division and the 106th Division were stationed in Jingzhou, and the 100th Division, that is, Li Tianxing's troops, were stationed in Linxiang to guard the back road. Li Qinwei's 101st Division and Zheng Xin's 105th Division were stationed in Jingmen, Wang Changhe's 102nd Division and Wang Zhixian's 104th Division were stationed in Xiangyang, and Li Dalong's 103rd Division was stationed in Shiyan to guard the back road.

Once the front is attacked by devils, they can also reinforce, and at the same time to ensure the smooth back road, unless absolutely necessary, Hu Bin will not enter Shaanxi from here with his own troops.

Over the next few days, Hu Bin's troops continued to attack the retreating troops at Jingmen, Xiangyang, and Shiyan. Jingmen's troops retreated quickly, they retreated to the Anlu area in 2 days, but their retreat did not fall into any benefit, the entire wing, more than half of the casualties, almost all the supplies were lost, and Hu Bin's troops were cheapened in vain.

None of the devil troops in Shiyan and Xiangyang left, and they were all rounded up by Xiang Feng with his troops.

After Okamura Ningji saw this result, he was quite helpless, but this was also the best he could do, the troops of the 4 wings, equivalent to the infantry wing of a division, were mostly left in western Hubei by Hu Bin.

At this time, Okamura Ningji began to arrange the defense line, he knew that Hu Bin's appetite could not be these places, he would definitely attack to the east, according to Okamura Ningci's idea, originally he didn't want those cities in central Hubei, let Hu Bin occupy them, so that Hu Bin's troops would be scattered, and when his troops came, Hu Bin's troops should be unlucky.

However, the base camp did not agree, and the staff also had different opinions, they believed that if they gave up so many places, when they wanted to encircle and suppress them in the future, the scope of the army's operations would be very large, and this happened to fall into Hu Bin's hands.

He can let his troops break through their own troops, so that they may bring danger to the attacking troops and the logistics transport troops, Hu Bin likes to attack the logistics troops, and they all know this.

After hearing their opinions, Okamura Ningji thought about it and began to order three divisions to start arranging defensive lines along Suizhou, Xiaogan, and Xianning, so as to prevent Hu Bin's troops from continuing to advance eastward.

"Brother Bin, the headquarters telegraphed to inform the Japanese side of the change in troops on the Hubei side." Mo Zhu came over with a telegram and said.

"Oh, show me!" Hu Bin heard it and took the telegram.

I saw that the commander-in-chief had consolidated an intelligence on the Hubei side, and now it has been sent. The first is that Okamura Ninji is already arranging the defense line, and it is also said that they have set up the defense line.

The second is that the Kwantung Army, which has three divisions, has entered the customs, and according to the speculation of the headquarters, these three divisions and regiments are either going to Shandong, because in order to expand the scope of his base area, Division Commander Chen is also attacking those devils in Shandong, and they are fighting very well, and the Japanese defenders who are now in Shandong cannot stop Division Commander Chen's attack at all.

The other direction is Hu Bin's side, which may converge with the troops here, taking advantage of Hu Bin's lack of a firm foothold here, and it is a newly formed force, killing Hu Bin in one fell swoop, and even saying that it is very likely that both directions will be taken into account.

"The Kwantung Army came out?" Hu Bin looked at the telegram and was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the Japanese side would actually transfer the Kwantung Army out to fight, the devils were in the Kwantung Army to prevent the Soviet Union, they deployed more than 1 million troops in northeast China and the Far East of the Soviet Union, and now they have actually transferred three divisions out to fight.

"The Kwantung Army, from the northeast?" Li Nian heard it and looked at Hu Bin in surprise.

"Well, 3 divisions, I guess they're coming for us! At most, one division will go to Shandong, and even they may not go! Hu Bin nodded and said.

Now Hu Bin's military headquarters is located in a village in Jingzhou, and in the past half a month, Hu Bin has finally raised 80,000 troops, but it is still far from enough, but the members of the working group are still recruiting.

At the same time, various units have carried out firearms training and tactical action training, physical training is to dig trenches, Hu Bin has selected a few places where the devils must pass through to attack, dug a lot of trenches, and used this for physical training.

"I heard that the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army is very strong, and the equipment is good." Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and said.

"He is wearing an iron armor, everyone comes with a cannon, and Lao Tzu will sink him into the river! Hmph, amazing, Lao Tzu is fighting a powerful army, where is Xiang Feng with the special regiment now? Hu Bin asked.

"Report, when you arrive in the Tianmen area, there are still a lot of devils' garrisons in the town over there, all of them are the size of a squadron and a squadron!" Mo Shu stood up and reported to Hu Bin.

"Tell him, hurry up and kill the devils in those small towns, attack Xiaogan directly, don't fight hard, just go to grind every night, grind them to death for Lao Tzu first, by the way, be careful not to let the devils copy their back roads, and pay attention to the devils who come down from Suizhou in the north!" Hu Bin said to Mo Jie, who nodded. (To be continued.) )
