Chapter 772: Japan's New Plan (Five Changes)
Hu Bin asked the communications staff officers to contact the division commanders of the first attack echelon of the front, and he came to the front of the map and looked at the map carefully.
Now he is still thinking about what Okamura Ninji is doing, but since Okamura Ninji is going to give up Mandalay, he might as well get it down and control it in his own hands, so when facing Yangon, he can also attack at any time!
"After taking Mandalay, are we going to give the armored forces and the air force units a rest and attack Rangoon in a few days?" Li Dalong walked to Hu Bin's side, looked at Hu Bin and said.
"It is definitely necessary to rest, not to rest, especially the armored forces and the air force, the infantry is okay, we can put into the first echelon of infantry still have a lot of infantry, you can take turns to rest, but they can't.
To fight Rangoon, we have to fix the airport in Mandalay, and in Rangoon, we may have to fight the fighter jets of the devil's navy. They definitely have aircraft carriers there. Hu Bin stood there and said.
"What exactly is an aircraft carrier you are talking about, I have heard you say it several times, isn't it a battleship, how can there be planes, there are planes for the Air Force, not the Navy?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked, he had heard Hu Bin say this name a few times before, but he just couldn't figure out what kind of combat weapon it was, so Hu Bin always mentioned it.
"Ha, an aircraft carrier is a ship capable of carrying fighters and bombers, planes are capable of taking off on the deck, an aircraft carrier is a sign of a strong navy of a country, our country does not have it, I hope it will have in the future.
However, the navy is different from the air force and the army, and the navy has not been built in a few decades, and then it has become a naval power, and our country is even worse, and we have few talents in the navy, and we cannot build ships, and now we can only look at other countries. Hu Bin heard it and explained to Li Dalong with a wry smile.
"To be able to take off a plane, how big does it have to be, with such a big ship?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said, the boat, Li Dalong has seen it, but Li Dalong has never seen a ship that can take off an airplane.
"There's a chance for you to see it, but, forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance, we still haven't had a chance to see it now!" Hu Bin smiled, then waved his hand and said to Li Dalong.
"Okay, then I'm going to go and see it then, but the one you said, we're going to fight the devil at Mandalayxiu Airport, the plane taking off from the sea ship, can our air force force do it?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"I hope it can be done, but whether it can be done or not, we will only know when we fight!" Hu Bin looked at the map and said.
"When are you going to attack Rangoon?" Li Dalong asked again.
"I don't know yet, we have to wait, if nothing else, within a week, we will attack Yangon." Hu Bin said firmly.
On the Yangon side, Okamura Ninji leaned on a recliner and listened to the staff officers' report on the current retreat, which began at about 4 o'clock this morning, and the Chinese bombers bombed their retreating troops, and by now, 12 hours had passed, and the Japanese retreating troops had suffered quite heavy losses.
The number of troops who successfully retreated to Yangon was less than 40,000, and there were still more than 100,000 troops on the way, and there were more than 100,000 troops on the way, but how many troops were still alive, no one knows, only that all those troops have withdrawn.
"Report, General Shojiro Iida is here!" At this time, a staff officer came to Okamura Ninji and reported.
"Oh, here, let him come!" After Okamura Ninji heard the staff officer's report, he opened his eyes and spoke.
"Hey!" The staff officer immediately went out, and after a while, Shojiro Iida walked into Okamura Ninji's office in a mess.
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm sorry, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't been able to block Hu Bin's attack according to the commander's will!" Shojiro Iida had just arrived at Okamura Ninji's recliner and immediately apologized, and he must have been somewhat responsible for this defeat.
"I don't blame you, we didn't expect that Hu Bin's troops actually had an air force, and it was such a powerful air force, and we didn't expect that Hu Bin's tanks were so powerful, and our current small-caliber anti-tank guns were useless at all.
Hu Bin is a person who fights wars, and he likes to fight quickly, when we haven't reacted yet. Hu Bin's troops are already on their way to attack the next target, and this is my mistake and the Empire's mistake. Okamura Ninji sat up and looked at Shojiro Iida and said comfortingly.
"Hey! However, the subordinates still have an unshirkable responsibility, this time the troops of several lines of defense were penetrated by the enemy so quickly, because we did not repair enough air-raid shelters and anti-tank trenches before, I did not expect that they still have such a powerful tank force, and the understanding of the enemy is insufficient! Shojiro Iida said immediately.
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore, this failure, the responsibility is not yours, come on, show him the plan!" Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said to the chief of staff next to him.
"Hey, General Iida, this is our latest battle plan, and the purpose of our plan, it's all here, please take a look!" The chief of staff looked at Shojiro Iida and said.
"Yo Xi!" Shojiro Iida heard it, nodded, and then looked at Okamura Ninji, he wanted to ask, now that the front line is being beaten like this, and a plan is still prepared, is it useful? But he didn't dare to ask now, so he could only open the document and look at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and Okamura Ninji was very satisfied when he saw him like this.
It took almost 10 minutes for Iida Shojiro to finish reading the plan, and Okamura Ninji didn't ask him, knowing that he must have to think about it carefully, so he just waited quietly.
After about 5 minutes, Iida Shojiro spoke: "Commander, I feel that this plan is feasible, we only need to violently attack Wei Lihuang's troops, Hu Bin's troops, we only need to use the terrain and our air force to cover and block them from going to the rescue, then once Wei Lihuang's troops are completely annihilated, China will definitely put this responsibility entirely on Hu Bin's body, and then Hu Bin will paraphrase China's sentence, and he will not be able to wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River."
And most of Hu Bin's logistics supply line has to pass through Chongqing's sphere of influence, I think, if Chongqing is not satisfied with Hu Bin, it will definitely get stuck Hu Bin's logistics supply line, at this time, it's time for us to fight back!
Since we can't defeat Hu Bin on the battlefield, then we have to think of other ways, now that Hu Bin is in the limelight, we can completely avoid his edge! Change your strategy! Iida Shojiro looked at Okamura Ninji and said a little excitedly.
"Do you think it's feasible too?" Okamura Ninji looked at him with a smile and asked.
"Hey, totally doable!" Shojiro Iida nodded and said.
Shojiro Iida is very much in favor of this plan!
"Now we are already implementing this plan, so we let all the front-line troops retreat, Hu Bin does not dare to attack Yangon easily, and our naval forces can give us strong support.
After our Yangon airport is repaired, we will be able to fight with Hu Bin's air force, and if Hu Bin's air force is killed, he will have nothing to rely on, and when the time comes, as soon as their domestic logistics supply line is broken, it will be time for us to counterattack! Okamura Ninji sat there and said calmly.
"I very much agree with this plan, if we can solve Wei Lihuang's troops, it will also be a big victory for the empire, Wei Lihuang's troops are the elite troops of Chongqing, kill this army, our troops in Vietnam, you can rest assured that you can attack China's Guangxi, we will kill all the way.
I heard that Li Zongren and Commander Chiang in Chongqing were at odds with each other, and if we had killed the troops in Guangxi and Yunnan, I thought that in the event of a war, Chongqing would not necessarily send troops to rescue us.
In other words, when Wei Lihuang's troops were attacked by us, Li Zongren would not necessarily send troops to rescue Wei Lihuang, which would not only increase the contradiction between Hu Bin and Chongqing, but also increase the contradiction between Chongqing and Li Zongren. Iida Shojiro looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
"Yo Xi, you still know a lot about the situation in China, very good!" Okamura Ninji heard Shojiro Iida say this, and said with great satisfaction.
"Hey, in order to be able to understand Hu Bin, I asked for a lot of Chinese information from the intelligence department, and I wanted to analyze Hu Bin's fighting style, but my subordinates were incompetent and could not find the flaws in Hu Bin's war." Shojiro Iida said with his head down.
"Well, it is still difficult to find Hu Bin's command flaws, Hu Bin is a person who likes to plan and then act, to deal with him, we can't be led by his nose, so we will be passive!" Okamura Ninji nodded and said that he was very satisfied with Shojiro Iida's current performance.
"Hey, I'm sure I'll find his flaws!" Shojiro Iida said firmly.
"Yo Xi, you take your troops to rest well these days, and in a few days, you may have to send your troops to harass Hu Bin's troops, Hu Bin will definitely go over to rescue him, but we can't let him support Wei Lihuang without any scruples, we must let Hu Bin's troops be trapped in Mandalay!" Okamura Ninji looked at Shojiro Iida and said.
"Hey!" Shojiro Iida nodded and said.
Soon, he left the command headquarters and returned to his own troops, and Okamura Ningji was still waiting for more troops to go back, there were more than 500,000 troops in front of the attack, and now there are tens of thousands of people who are back, he is still unwilling in his heart, hoping that more troops can come back, so that his next plan can be better implemented!
