Chapter 656 The action begins

Churchill and his staff were discussing whether to give Hu Bin the money at this time, if it was really given according to the method Hu Bin said, it would indeed be able to ensure the safety of the British soldiers to the greatest extent, and the money would be calculated according to the person, but it was a bit expensive.

In the front, 5,000 meters of gold will be given to the Chinese side as the money for Hu Bin's troops, and the back will be calculated according to the head, if all the people are really rescued, it may cost 150 million, but this is unlikely, because today's Japanese bombers will definitely bomb the British troops, and there will be a lot of casualties.

"Damn, he just took a fancy to this, so he asked us to pay so much money to save it!" Churchill said a little angrily when he saw that none of the staff members spoke.

Of course, he was not angry with those staff, but angry with China, he felt that he had been deceived by China, but there was no place to reason, because according to their previous agreement, they were going to fight devils in Southeast Asia, not to let the British troops retreat to India, so now Churchill is also dumb and can't talk about his suffering.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we still have to give this money, if we don't give it, we in India may not be able to hold it, and the troops in India now, plus the local soldiers in India, do not exceed 400,000, and they will not be able to stop the Japanese attack at all.

We not only have to give money to Hu Bin, but also have to build a good relationship with the Chinese side, although we still don't know how effective the Chinese troops are, but they have also fought with Japan for so many years, if the Chinese troops can hold in Southeast Asia, then the Japanese troops will not be able to dispatch so much, therefore, we have to repair the relationship with the Chinese side.

I know that you look down on China. But the fact is that we are in Asia, and we must rely on China! One of the staff members looked at Churchill and said.

When most of the people heard it, they all nodded, and some people didn't speak, and they also looked down on China in their bones, not only on China. Even the USSR they looked down on. Look down on China because China has been very weak for 100 years, and look down on the USSR because of their political system!

"Well, agree, entrust Mi Guo, pay us 50 million to give to Hu Bin's people first, and the rest of the money will be rescued by Hu Bin. Let's give it again, now we really want to have a good relationship with the Chinese side! Another member of the cabinet heard it and spoke.

"Give it to him, I want to see that Hu Bin can guarantee that they won't ask us in the future, and if they ask us when the time comes, they won't be so easy to talk to!" Churchill said with determination at this point, and then commanded the secretary beside him. Let him send a telegram to Wright and Fred in Chongqing, agreeing to Hu Bin's plan.

Soon. The telegram arrived at Wright and Fred, and Wright immediately came to Hu Bin, who asked him to sign the document that had just been prepared by the General Staff, and after signing, Hu Bin immediately sent a telegram to the deputy commander in Chongqing, telling the deputy commander about the matter. Let him collect the money.

"Deputy commander, there is a telegram from Hu Bin here, it seems to involve money!" At this time, the deputy commander was in the office to count the funds spent on purchasing materials this month, and now the money of the large army is on the side of the arsenal, and the money on the side of the deputy commander is not much. However, local construction requires a lot of key materials and equipment, and the deputy commander can only buy them from representatives of other countries in Chongqing.

This month, more than 3 million oceans were spent, and the deputy commander was distressed, but considering that these things purchased were for production, which would bring benefits to Yan'an in the future, the deputy commander could only grit his teeth and buy them.

"Telegram. Hu Bin's telegram? Show me! When the deputy commander heard the secretary's words, he was stunned for a moment, and he was about to come over, and then looked carefully.

"Okay, haha, great, this kid, just went out and got the money back, he has the ability!" After the deputy commander saw Hu Bin's telegram, he was quite happy, he was worried about running out of money, who knew that now Hu Bin asked the British to send it to him.

"Why did the British give him money?" The secretary looked at the deputy commander and said.

"Isn't it written, help them rescue the British troops, this is the labor fee, okay, I want to keep some of this money. You can't give it all to the commander-in-chief, now the arsenal is spending too much money, and we also need money here, and when the money arrives, I will send a telegram to the commander-in-chief to see if I can keep half of it, it is estimated that there is no problem, and the commander-in-chief still has a lot of money in his hands. The deputy commander said with a smile. This money came at a good time!

About 20 minutes later, the British ambassador Fred came to the deputy commander-in-chief, handed over the money to the deputy commander-in-chief, and urged the deputy commander to send a telegram to Hu Bin, hoping that Hu Bin could quickly send troops.

Hu Bin saw it, of course agreed, he also knew that there was no extra money on the deputy commander's side now, and although many projects in the arsenal were under construction, the construction time was long, so he was not in a hurry!

"Commander Hu, according to the news I just received, our people in Chongqing have already handed over the money to the personnel of your office, I want to know, when will you send troops?" Wright also received Fred's telegram, and immediately ran to Hu Bin's headquarters and asked Hu Bin.

"Don't worry, I'm a very trustworthy person, my troops are already preparing, and they can move tonight, and I don't want your British troops to suffer too many casualties, right, now I'm going to mobilize my troops, can you leave first, wait for my good news." Hu Bin looked at Wright and asked.

"Okay, I hope you can bring me good news." Wright looked at Hu Bin and said.

Hu Bin smiled and nodded, and after Wright went out, Hu Bin looked back at Li Dalong.

"Okay, I'll obey you, don't be complacent, I know you're good at making money!" Li Dalong knew what Hu Bin meant by looking at him, at the beginning, he almost persuaded Hu Bin to save those British, but fortunately he didn't save them, if he saved them, they wouldn't fight devils here, and there was no benefit.

"Someone, send a telegram to Li Qinwei, tonight, order your troops to open the line of retreat of the British troops, the devil is on Indo's side, there are 33rd Divisions, 55th Divisions, on Banmao's side, there are 18th Divisions, and on the east side, there is a brigade of troops, your department, before 12 o'clock this evening, break through the defense line of this brigade.

The other part is to bypass the devil's defense line from the forest and march to Banmao, and when the battle on this side starts, and it is completely broken, your division begins to attack the 33rd Division and the 55th Division, and take these two divisions for me.

As for the 18th Division, depending on the situation, if they don't chase after them, then they won't fight, if they do, they will attack immediately, by the way, get in touch with the British troops as soon as possible, but also wait for the battle to start and get in touch with them.

I will inform the British side in advance, your department should use the fastest speed to withdraw those British from Banmao, before dawn, send them to the forest, don't be blown up by the devils, you are the same, the devils will definitely send bombers tomorrow, pay attention to safety, and the troops of the anti-aircraft artillery brigade should also pay attention to air defense. Hu Bin said to a staff officer.

The staff officer recorded the order and handed it to Hu Bin, who read it carefully, signed it, and then took it out to send a telegram.

After a while, Li Qinwei received a telegram from Hu Bin, and at this time, Li Qinwei's troops and the troops of other divisions were already hiding in the dense forest, and several division commanders were also gathered together.

"The battle order is here, come, everyone sit down and have a meeting!" Li Qinwei took Hu Bin's telegram, went to a temporary tent, looked at the generals and said, after finishing speaking, he also showed Hu Bin's telegram to them, asking them to know the intention of this battle.

"The troops of the armored brigade will attack the brigade on this side tonight, and break through the devil's defense line in 3 hours, after you break through the defense line, you will be divided into 2 parts, one will escort our artillery to Ban Mao, and the other will continue to encircle and annihilate the devils here." Li Qinwei looked at Xiang Feng and said.

"In that case, I don't have enough infantry!" When Xiang Feng heard it, he said, if after breaking through, half of the tanks will be separated, and the infantry that wants to match the tanks will definitely be taken away.

"The special regiment will transfer 2 squads for you to use, is it enough?" Li Qinwei looked at Xiang Feng and asked.

"That's no problem, 2 squads, enough." When Xiang Feng heard this, he immediately nodded.

"From the start of the battle, until dawn, the troops of this brigade cannot be left, not a single one! Otherwise, we will be in trouble when we retreat, even if those devils block us for an hour, it will be fatal! Li Qinwei looked at Xiang Feng and emphasized the importance of Xiang Feng's mission.

"Understood. You can rest assured! Xiang Feng nodded and said.

"Master Wang. Your division and our division are mainly attacking the 33rd Division and the 55th Division. The special regiment cooperated with us in the operation, they would solve the artillery positions of the devils in advance, and the devils did not repair any positions over there, they were just using the terrain to fight. We, with the firepower of our 2 divisions, have no problem taking them out. You tell me? Li Qinwei said and looked at Wang Changhe of the 102nd Division.

"Alright, let's study the map later!" Wang Changhe nodded and said. The 2 divisions and the 2 divisions of the devil fought in the field, and they were still fighting at night, and the casualties of the 33rd Division in the past few days were not small, Wang Changhe thought that he was still quite sure.

"What about us?" Xu Zhuozhuo, the commander of the 232nd Division, found that Li Qinwei had not yet assigned the tasks of his division and the 234th Division, so he immediately asked. (To be continued.) )
