Chapter 738: Okamura Ninji's Deployment

At this time, Hu Bin has been waiting at the control tower of the airport, he still doesn't know how effective this operation is, and there is no news from the front, but for Hu Bin and this army, no news is good news!

"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, our raid was successful, successful!" At this time, a staff officer rushed into the command tower with a telegram and shouted happily at Hu Bin.

"What? It worked? Show me! When Hu Bin heard this, he was very happy, and immediately stood up from his position, took the telegram and looked at it carefully, while the people in the command tower also stood up and stared at Hu Bin.

"Comrades, our raid was successful!" Hu Bin stood there and announced to the people inside the tower.

"Oh~" The entire tower cheered.

Everyone has actually been worried in their hearts, they are worried that this raid may fail, and if it fails, it will be an encounter. Everyone didn't know if those young pilots could win the encounter, and now when they heard Hu Bin announce that the raid was successful, everyone was relieved, and of course they had to cheer.

Soon, the news of the successful raid spread throughout the airport, and those ground crews began to cheer after learning the news, after all, this was the first time that Yan'an's air force participated in the war, and it was a very great success to be able to achieve victory.

Hu Bin arrived outside the conning tower at this time, and saw the soldiers outside cheering, and there was a smile on his face, although he didn't know what the results of the battle would be, but Zeng Zhiqiang sent a telegram saying that the raid was successful, so the effect would definitely be bad, at least, in the next half a month, the defense line of the devils around Mandalay would be impossible for the devil's fighters and bombers.

"Send a telegram to Li Dalong, ordering our troops to prepare for a surprise attack tonight, and at the same time, mobilize 3 infantry divisions and set off immediately, in addition, tell Li Dalong that our air force has successfully raided Mandalay Airport and is now returning home, and the specific results will be notified later!" Hu Bin said to Mo Jian beside him.

"Yes!" Mo Jian heard it and immediately went out, while Hu Bin stood there, looking at the fighters outside.

Soon, the tower ordered the ground crews to do their job, and when the planes were about to return, they had to be ready.

In several places around Mandalay, J-1's fighters also fell a few times, but the pilots all jumped out, just jumped, and the pilots put away their parachutes and put them on their backs, so that the enemy did not know where they landed and bought more time for their escape.

And directly south of Mandalay, a soldier had just landed and hurriedly put away his parachute, when he heard the sound of a motorcycle in the distance.

"Made!" The soldier drew his pistol, put on his parachute and began to run, there was no way to run far, because the trees were all cut down by the devils, and no one could outrun the motorcycle.

"He's over there, chase after him!" At this time, a devil sat on the body of the motorcycle, saw the pilot who was running, and shouted loudly to the back, this time there were 5 motorcycles and 15 devils who came to pursue.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Suddenly, a gunshot was heard by a small stream, and the drivers of the 3 motorcycles in front were hit, and the motorcycles immediately overturned.

"Yaga, and the enemy!" The devils in the back stopped the motorcycle, then jumped down and lay down, just now they didn't know where the gun was, and now they can only lie down.

And when the pilot heard the gunshots, he also lay down, and then looked behind him, and found that the devils who were chasing him had stopped, and at this time, he remembered that this morning, at the combat meeting, the captain had said that as long as they jumped out of the Mandalay line, someone would save them, and they didn't have to care about anything, just run into the woods, and the enemy would hand over to the troops who would help them.

Thinking of this, the warrior immediately got up and continued to run south, and now he had to get out of here quickly, to the woods, and when he got to the woods, he was relatively safe, and it was easier to hide.

"Bang!" Suddenly, another shot was fired from behind, and the soldier stopped, and when he saw that there was still no change in the back, he continued to run!

In other places, too, some of the pilots who parachuted were helped by special regiments, and with the help of the soldiers of those special regiments, they managed to get rid of the search of the devils.

About 1 hour later, the first fighter was ready to land, and more and more planes appeared in the sky, all of which were ready to land, the fighter was not enough oil, so it was necessary to arrange those fighters with little oil to land first, when the first fighter successfully landed, the ground crew soldiers applauded, and Hu Bin also stood in front of the control tower and applauded.

At this time, it was a little more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and on the Yangon side, Okamura Ninji had just gotten up and received a telegram from Iida Shojiro, and after receiving the telegram, Okamura Ninji sat there in a daze for about half an hour.

He really couldn't figure out where those planes came from, because according to the intelligence on his side, Hu Bin didn't have planes at all, not only did Hu Bin not have planes, but even on Wei Lihuang's side, they didn't have many planes, so it was impossible to carry out a raid on Mandalay Airport.

"Commander, there's a telegram from Mandalay, counting the losses!" The chief of staff came over with a telegram and whispered to Okamura Ninji.

"Say it!" Okamura Ninji sat there and spoke.

"Hey, this enemy raid, our army lost 860 fighters, 210 bombers, 187 transport planes, 20 reconnaissance planes, and the planes that can still take off are all planes in underground warehouses, but now the runway has been completely destroyed, and there is no way to take off at all.

In addition, the enemy also attacked our anti-aircraft divisions, and our anti-aircraft guns suffered heavy losses, because our soldiers could not reach the positions of the anti-aircraft guns in time, so there was no way to achieve effective air defense.

This time, a total of 21,028 people were broken, including 1,084 pilots, 13,284 troops of the air defense brigade were sacrificed, and the rest were the guard troops and ground staff of the airport, and in the entire raid, our native soldiers sacrificed 8,021 people! The chief of staff reported to Okamura Ninji.

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji heard it and closed his eyes! The chief of staff did not dare to go either, and stood behind him all the time, watching him.

"The airport is repaired 24 hours a day, I want them to return to normal within 7 days, I don't care what method they use!" Okamura Ninji spoke.

"Hey, but, the assessment report from the airport, now there is no repair value over there, if we want to take off the plane, we can only rebuild an airport, and the speed of rebuilding may be faster than rebuilding!" The chief of staff reminded Okamura Ninji to say.

"I don't care about this, I just want our imperial planes to be able to take off and land in Mandalay!" Okamura Ninji spoke.

"Hey, I'll go and notify right away!" The chief of staff nodded, and prepared to go back.

"Wait, mobilize the troops of the 4 divisions from our side again, and in addition, send a telegram to Shojiro Iida to reinforce the Marai side. Hu Bin will definitely raid Ma Lai within 24 hours, let Ma Lai's troops be vigilant, and give me to block Hu Bin's troops, if they can block it for more than a week, it is the best! Okamura Ninji ordered to the Chief of Staff.

"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded.

"Someone, get the call from the Mandalay command! I'm going to talk to Commander Shojiro Iida on the phone! Okamura Ninji stood up and said.

"Hey!" A communications staff officer heard this, immediately picked up the phone, and began to dial.

Almost a minute later, the phone was connected. Okamura Ninji took the phone and said, "I'm Okamura Ninji, now you have to be ready, Hu Bin will definitely come over to attack, Malai must be on guard!" ”

"Hey, I have mobilized 3 divisions and regiments to quickly mobilize to the side of Marlai, now we have no bombers, I am worried that Chinese bombers will come to raid, so I use vehicles to transport them, it is estimated that it will take almost 1 hour to arrive!" Shojiro Iida said on the other side of the phone.

"Yo Xi, I think Hu Bin must have done it this time, they don't have many planes on their side at all, this time they came to attack our airport, they must have used all the bombers, therefore, it is safe for an hour, and after ordering the troops to get over there, they will immediately enter the position!" Okamura Ninji looked at his watch and said to Shojiro Iida.

"Hey!" Shojiro Iida said.

"Also, Malai must fight well, this is related to the morale of our entire Mandalay soldiers, you know, there are too many local soldiers in the empire now, if we can't win against Hu Bin's troops, those soldiers may escape, so, in order to be able to hold Mandalay, you must fight well, and you must successfully stop the attack of Hu Bin's troops.

I guess they still charge with the ground, plus artillery, now they have bombers, they may use bombers to bomb our artillery positions, you have to hide those cannons, Hu Bin used to like to fight at night, so that his cannons can be started, you also have to learn the opponent's style of play, don't fire artillery during the day, and then bomb the enemy at night! Okamura Ninji explained again to Iida Shojiro said.

"Hey, I'll pay attention, but if Hu Bin comes over with enough troops, our Malai may not be able to hold out for a few days!" Shojiro Iida hesitated for a moment and reported to Okamura Ninji.

"I know, Ma Lai's side, no matter what the cost, must be defended, if Hu Bin is allowed to occupy Ma Lai, he can attack and retreat!" Okamura Ninji said to Shojiro Iida in a very calm tone, but in his calm tone, there was a deep worry. (To be continued.) )
