Ding Wanzhong told Xiang Feng that he was going to send a telegram to Hu Bin, hoping to let Xiang Feng continue to command.

Xiang Feng heard it, he was not happy, he knew what Hu Bin meant, and he also understood why Hu Bin did this, Hu Bin didn't believe Xiang Feng, Xiang Feng, he trusted it very much, but he knew that Hu Bin needed more helpers now.

Now Hu Bin commands more than 300,000 troops, and in the future, Hu Bin needs to command more troops, but Hu Bin alone is definitely not enough, Hu Bin needs more generals who can stand alone, but there is a huge problem in Yan'an, that is, there is a serious shortage of cadres.

Now there are also many cadre schools in Yan'an, but compared to the gap in the entire Yan'an, it is still insufficient, especially senior generals, senior generals are not able to be trained by the academy, and they must go through realistic assessments, and senior generals need to have enough combat experience.

"Lao Ding, you look down on me Xiang Feng!" Xiang Feng looked at Ding Wanzhong and said.

"What? Looking down on you, where do you start with this, you know, we generals know that you have a lot of credit, if it weren't for Chongqing stuck with us, you would be at least a lieutenant general now.

Of course, I know that Li Qinwei and Fang Lei are about the same as you, but a few of us are not from the special regiment, and the credit is definitely not as much as yours, and we all admire you! Lao Ding didn't know why Xiang Feng said this, so he immediately explained.

When several other infantry division commanders and tank division commanders heard this, they all nodded, they very much agreed with Xiang Feng, these cadres from the special regiment, and they also knew that these people were brothers who followed Hu Bin to death and were born and died.

Xiang Feng waved his hand and said: "I don't mean that, Lao Ding, are you worried that after you become the commander, I will have an opinion on you, you are worried that the commander will not move me, and you are worried that I will make you stumbling for these things when you are fighting?" ”

"No, really not, Lao Xiang, my Lao Ding is not such a person, I just think you are more suitable than me to be the commander this time!" Lao Ding hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Lao Ding, I'm Xiang Feng, I was a hunter before, it was Brother Bin who invited me to join the Eighth Route Army, follow Brother Bin, I don't know how much I learned the rest, but there is one thing I learned very well, for the country and the people, not for myself!

Maybe you don't believe it, you know? If Brother Bin doesn't fight, I dare to say, what is the wealth of the four major families of the Republic of China, it's a fart in front of Brother Bin, don't talk about anything else, now Brother Bin has also made hundreds of millions of dollars for Yan'an, if Brother Bin wants to deduct these money, he can completely deduct it, now it's a troubled time, who dares to say anything if Hu Bin deducts it?

We also once asked Brother Bin, why don't you withhold this money, so that the brothers can live a good life, do you know what Brother Bin said? Xiang Feng looked at the division commanders and asked.

Those people all shook their heads, not knowing what Hu Bin would say.

"Brother Bin said that our brother wants to live a good life simply, very simply, and there is no need to deduct that money, as long as he Brother Bin wants to, he has money, but it will be difficult to let the people of the whole country live a good life! Brother Bin said that he didn't dare to say that he would be able to lead the people to live a good life, but he would try his best to do it, in this life, you must always leave a thought for people, if you have great ability, you will leave more, if you don't have the ability, at least leave a thought for the relatives around you.

So, let me tell you, I still have our brothers from the special regiment, no matter who commands, we will obey, of course, he is right, he is for the country and the people, and if you want to command, it is also for the country and the people, I think, Lao Ding, why are you fighting as a soldier? You won't starve to death when you go home to farm, and you will fight with your head in your belt every day, do you like it?

Brother Bin hopes you can grow up! There is another thing I want to tell you, that is, these people in this room will have the opportunity to command the war alone, what is the purpose, you know? Xiang Feng looked at them and said.

They were still staring at Xiang Feng, and when they heard Xiang Feng say this, they shook their heads and looked at Xiang Feng.

"The purpose is to hope that when everyone has the opportunity to lead the army to fight in the future, they will be able to take responsibility, and they will not bring huge casualties to their troops because of their lack of command experience!" Xiang Feng looked at them and said.

"We're going to command it alone, too?" Wei Cheng looked at Xiang Feng and asked.

"You have to command, now it's Lao Ding, the next one I estimate is either Commander Li Dalong or Li Qinwei, the next is Xu Zhuozhuo, and then you, Brother Bin will let you command more than 3 divisions of troops to fight together, so as to prepare for your promotion to army commander in the future, so I said, Lao Ding, you look down on me!" Xiang Feng really stared at Ding Wanzhong as he spoke.

"No, no, really no, Lao Xiang, this time it's me who is wrong, I, I won't say anything, after this battle, brother, I will invite you to dinner, I will cook it myself, you don't dislike it, a few of you have to come over, okay?" Lao Ding looked at them and said.

"It has to come!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.

"Get ready for wine, you won't come without good wine!" Ding Yuan, the commander of the 233rd Division, said with a smile.

"Yes, no good wine will come." Several other division commanders said with a smile.

"That must be, without me looking for the commander to go, there must be good wine in the warehouse, the commander doesn't like this, I'll get it!" Ding Wanzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, that's it, let me tell you, Lao Ding, you just said that you were going to send a telegram to Brother Bin and hand over the command to me, believe it or not, the commander will rush here tonight and beat the two of us to death with a belt!" Xiang Feng said with a laugh.

"Won't it?" Ding Wanzhong heard it and looked at Xiang Feng fearfully.

"Won't? If you don't believe it, just give it a try, I'll tell you, Brother Bin has finished pumping you, and he has to let the two of us write a review! Xiang Feng said with a smile.

"Still don't try, now the commander is so busy, he has to think about the direction of action of the entire army, by the way, Lao Xiang, according to the telegram sent by the commander, I estimate that we will move in the second half of the night tonight, and now we also have to go and take a rest, tonight until dawn, we may not have the opportunity to rest." Ding Wanzhong looked at them and said.

"Well, it's time to rest, the staff officer is on duty here, let's take a rest!" Xiang Feng nodded and said.

Soon, a few of them dispersed and went to rest.

On Okamura's side, he was still anxiously ordering the staff officers to send a telegram to the division commander of the Marais Line, because an hour earlier, after the last division commander had sent a telegram, they could no longer contact any division commander on the front, let alone the division commander, or even the brigade commander.

Okamura Ningji couldn't accept it, the Marais defense line actually didn't block Hu Bin for 24 hours, and Hu Bin's previous clear code telegram was accurate! If Hu Bin sent a clear telegram at this time, saying that he had broken through the Marais defense line, then it would really become a joke, and Hu Bin would have lost three battles and three times!

However, Okamura Ninji has not seen Hu Bin's telegram in clear code, and he has some expectations for the front line.

"Commander, maybe, maybe the whole army has been wiped out on the side of the Marais defense line, let's prepare for the rear defense line!" The chief of staff saw that Okamura Ninji was still walking back and forth in the headquarters, and immediately reminded Okamura Ninji not to insist on contacting the troops on the front line.

"No, we must still have troops to persist on the front line, otherwise, Hu Bin will definitely invent a code telegram to come out, as far as Hu Bin's character is concerned, I know it very well, he has laid down Marais in such a short period of time, he will definitely be very proud, he will definitely send it." Okamura Ninji shook his head firmly and said.

"However, what if we are connected, we certainly don't have many troops holding out on the front line, and now our focus should be on the line of defense behind us.

Marais was broken through, and Hu Bin's troops must have pressed towards our defensive line soon. Now what we have to do is to keep Mandalay in place for more than 2 months, so that our Indian troops can come in from there! The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji heard it and looked up at the roof of the headquarters.

He was very unwilling, and there was a sadness in his heart, why did his troops have more than 200,000, and they couldn't stop the attack of Hu Bin's troops, and they couldn't hold out for 24 hours, if Hu Bin had more troops, then, in the whole of Japan, who else could block Hu Bin's attack.

"Commander, Ruibao's troops are about to retreat, and now the vanguard has begun to retreat towards Madeya, and the other troops will completely evacuate Ruibao before 9 o'clock in the evening." A staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Okamura Ninji.

"Yo Xi, order them to be fast, Hu Bin's troops will attack Madeya and Meiliao after dawn tomorrow, they are very likely to attack the two defense lines at the same time, after all, their tanks are very powerful!" Okamura Ninji nodded and said.

"Commander, now we have to think about it, once Mandalay is lost, how should our troops in India fight, now the Indian offensive is very good, the British troops can't hold out for a few days, when the time comes, we can order some troops to come back in advance, encircle Hu Bin, and Wei Lihuang's troops, I have an idea!" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.

"What thoughts? Let's hear it. Okamura Ninji looked at him and said.

"I think we can kill Wei Lihuang's troops, one is to reduce the pressure in Southeast Asia, and the second, to kill Wei Lihuang's troops, then our troops from other parts of Southeast Asia can also come over and encircle Hu Bin, in fact, Hu Bin occupied Mandalay, for them, it is not necessarily a good thing." The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
