Chapter 651: Let's test it
The British troops fought for a night and a day, but they were not able to lay down the defensive positions of the 33rd Division, and at night, Slim was also anxious, originally he thought that his troops would definitely be able to break through during the day today,
He thought that if his troops could break through and kill the troops of the 33rd Division first, Slim was not worried about the devil's 15th Army at all, a unit of his own equipment was better than the devil's,
The second is that his own soldiers are better than the devil, of course, the second is what he thinks, so in Slim's heart, he wants to break out, kill the troops of the 33rd Division first, and then let his troops calmly pass through the defensive positions of the 33rd Division.
But after a day and a night, they had not yet broken through the 33rd Division, and his troops still suffered several thousand casualties, but he also observed that the Japanese troops would not suffer much fewer casualties on his side, so when Slim learned that other directions were also attacking their British troops, he was able to calm down.
Now the Japanese troops from other directions are also attacking his side, but the British troops fought well and repelled the devils, and the only thing that caused them heavy casualties to the British troops was the bombers in the devil's sky, and as soon as those bombers came, their troops would have a large number of casualties.
"Commander, are we going to keep fighting?" A major general asked, looking at Slim. Slim heard it and nodded, meaning to keep fighting.
"The Chinese troops are expected to be coming over soon, so wouldn't it be better for us to wait for them to take down the brigade to the east?" Another major general looked at Slim and said.
"No, they probably won't come, today I received a telegram from our home that China is protesting against us in the UK. Now let's not count on them, let's break through ourselves! Slim shook his head and said, the generals heard it, so they had to be silent.
However, in the command Hu Bin, for the situation at the front. It was very clear that the British troops were still not able to lay down the defensive positions of the 33rd Division, and he knew it. The devil's 18th division has been transferred to Pinha, the purpose of which is to block the route of the British troops to the north after breaking through.
And according to Hu Bin's intelligence, he also found that the Japanese side also mobilized troops from two divisions to reinforce Mandalay. After Hu Bin saw this information, he sat there and thought about it, he didn't want to fight with the devil here now.
If there is a decisive battle, Hu Bin will fight according to his previous intentions, and order his troops to intersperse with Mandalay to block the retreat of the two armies of the devil, and now Hu Bin sees that there are 2 divisions dispatched by the devil's side, Hu Bin is worried that the devil's troops really want to fight a decisive battle with their own troops.
"Look at this, analyze it, and see if the devil's side wants to fight us. If it's a decisive battle, how are we going to fight? Hu Bin handed the telegram to Li Dalong.
"Hmm!" Li Dalong heard it. I took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and when I had finished reading it, I went to the map hanging on the wall and thought it carefully. Hu Bin also stood up at this time and walked to the front of the map.
"Commander, if you count according to the current strength of the devil's side. The devil now has 6 divisions of troops near Mandalay, plus the troops of the 25th Army of the devil, it is the troops of 11 divisions, and there are bombers in the sky, if there is a decisive battle. We don't take advantage of anything. Li Dalong looked at the map and said to Hu Bin, Hu Bin heard it, nodded, and his brain was still running fast!
"It's hard to judge, if the devil lets those British troops go, then we will fight the devil, and we don't know now that the devil's next battle plan is whether it is our China or British-controlled India." Li Dalong continued.
"No matter, let's kill their 2 and a half divisions first, eat the troops of the 33rd division and the 35th division, and the brigade close to us will also be eaten by me, kill his 2 and a half divisions, I want to see if the devil dares to come,
My opponent is Okamura Ningji, on the Wuhan side, Lao Tzu has done him twice, this time, he doesn't dare to advance, even if he really wants to send a large number of troops, I estimate that they don't dare to advance, they can only fight steadily, and there may be a conflict with the strategy of the Japanese base camp, so I judge that the devil may not come at us this time, but at India, really want to fight with Lao Tzu, ready to die hundreds of thousands, I see how many veterans in Little Japan are enough for us to kill! Hu Bin said with determination.
"Then now we have to transfer troops, we have dispatched 2 divisions of troops before, it may not be enough!" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Order the troops of the 232nd Division, the 234th Division, the Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade, and the Armored Brigade to quickly intersperse and eat the troops of these two and a half divisions, but the battle should start as early as tomorrow evening, and see how the British side fights." Hu Bin thought for a moment and said to Li Dalong.
"Okay!" Li Dalong heard this, nodded, and immediately arranged for the staff officer to order the troops.
"Made, if you don't fight, the little devils may not know what we mean, and they don't know how powerful we are, we have to tell them that this way is not working, we have to fight, go to other places to fight, I don't care!" Hu Bin looked at the map and said.
"Well, however, I'm worried that the 25th Army on Commander Wei's side will also retreat to Mandalay again, so that our defense line will be under great pressure." Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and reminded him.
"No, they won't be so stupid, their purpose is probably still India, China They want to solve us quickly, it's impossible, we still have Li Zongren's troops behind us, even if we lose, the devils will have no strength to attack, they won't do such a thing." Hu Bin heard it, shook his head and said.
Soon, 232 divisions, 234 divisions, anti-aircraft artillery brigades. After receiving Hu Bin's telegram, the troops of the armored brigade began to mobilize their troops to advance, but they did not dare to take the main road, but secretly marched according to the route that the special regiment had previously reconnoitred.
"Made, it's finally time to fight!" Xiang Feng sat on the tank, looked at his tank troops advancing, smiled and said, he now also wants to take his armor department to make contributions, Hu Bin once told him, don't worry about no tanks, don't worry about fighting!
In the second half of the year, Hu Bin will transfer him as many tanks as he needs. When Xiang Feng heard this, of course he was happy, and now he just wanted to pull his troops out to fight!
The officers and men of the 232nd and 234th Divisions were also very happy, they had only changed to new equipment three months ago, not only equipped with Bayi rifles, but also rocket launchers, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc., and now they also want to go to the front line to try their firepower with the devils. The two most critical division commanders, they were all transferred from other units,
They all know that with Hu Bin, there are big battles to be fought and there are victories, and the other is ammunition consumption, so there is no need to worry at all, there are so many arsenals behind them that are supplying weapons and ammunition.
"Divisional commander, is it a big fight this time?" A brigade commander asked when he came to Xu Zhuozhuo, the commander of the 232nd Division.
"Hehe, target, 2 and a half divisions of the 15th Army of the devil!" Xu Zhuozhuo said with a smile.
"2 and a half divisions? Just, just our troops? After the brigade commander heard Xu Zhuozhuo's words, he was shocked, in his opinion, being able to fight with the devil in a wing is a war.
"Scared? I said you're so unproductive! Xu Zhuoyu glanced at the brigade commander with disdain and said.
"What am I afraid of, we used to fight devils, and the devils we faced were a wing, and the kid had to fight with 2 and a half divisions, to be honest, I just didn't react." The brigade commander immediately explained.
"Hehe, several divisions are acting at the same time, don't worry, I sent a telegram to Wang Changhe of the 102nd Division before, I know Wang Changhe, I used to be a company commander of mine, I haven't seen him for a few years, I am the division commander, and he is also the main division in Hu Bin's hands, I told him, is the 2 and a half divisions a little too big, do you know how this kid said no?" Xu Zhuo looked at his brigade commander and asked.
"How?" The brigade commander also asked cooperatively.
"He said that his division has a division, and the remaining division Xiang Feng has one, let's fight the remaining brigade with the troops of the 234th Division, it's so fucking despised that I have to go to him to settle accounts!" Xu Zhuozhuo stood there and said depressedly.
"The 102nd Division has a division and a division, brag about them? If you want to brag, I can too, and I will only know until I fight! When the brigade commander heard this, he was also depressed, which was obviously looking down on them.
"Besides, when I get over there, it is Li Qinwei of the 101st Division who will command the battle, and he will assign it well, Li Qinwei is not better than Wang Changheniu? He was the first to follow Hu Bin, and he also had the most credit, and he would distribute it! It's not Wang Changhe's up to Wang Changhe to have the final say, he brags about it. Xu Zhuozhuo said.
"Well, however, that root Li Qinwei is so young, and that root Xiang Feng and Fang Lei are both major generals, why are they so young?" The brigade commander asked again.
"But the credit is great, the commander is still young, you look at his credit! Don't worry, as long as we follow the commander, it is estimated that the credit is not small, now the commander has commanded 10 divisions of troops, it is estimated that sooner or later he will be a general, as long as he wins a few battles, Chongqing will not be promoted, and we will also be upgraded when the time comes! Xu Zhuozhuo said.
"Yes!" The brigade commander heard it and nodded,
However, at this time, the British troops were still attacking the positions of the 33rd Division, and the casualties on the devil's side were a bit large, because the defensive positions were temporary, and at night, the British tanks were dispatched, which put a lot of pressure on them.
