Hu Bin and the others were sitting in the command center at this time. The special forces, namely Hu Bin's guard regiment, have now all scattered, and Hu Bin is left with a company of guards.

Soon, the infantry troops also set off, and the armored troops escorted the infantry troops. Hu Bin still had to wait. After the front was completely cleaned up, Hu Bin was about to set off. However, those staff members did not need to follow him. They also had to contact various troops here, so Hu Bin took his communications troops there.

"Brother Bin, the front line sent a telegram. The special forces are already cleaning up the nearby Japanese reconnaissance troops. Now it is less than 30 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao!" Mo She received the telegram from the communications soldier and said to Hu Bin.

"Let's go, go!" Hu Bin nodded, stood up and spoke.

It is already past 2 pm now, and it will probably take more than 3 hours from Tangshan to Qinhuangdao. When I get there, it will be dark.

At this time, on Qinhuangdao, the commander of the 8th Division, Akagi Sasaki, was sitting in the command center. He was wearing a single dress because the temperature in the underground command center was very high.

Japan has been operating here for several years, so the command center has installed a boiler, which is very warm. Not only is it warm here, but it is also in the Japanese military camps. The underground barracks are equipped with heating, and the Japanese military camps are built along the mountain.

"Kato, come, come some sake? This is something I brought from China, not much." Sasaki said, looking at the major general in front of him.

Kato is a brigade commander under his command. As soon as he came here to take a look, Sasaki was stopped and had been drinking together, from noon until now.

"Sir, our situation is very dangerous now. We don't have many troops behind us. If the Chinese army attacks next year, we will be in a situation where we have no way out.

Once China breaks through our second line of defense, what should we do? Is it still time to establish a line of defense later?" The major general named Kato looked at Sasaki with concern and asked.

"Yoxi, you don't have to worry about this. The Empire Base Camp will definitely consider it. We just need to stay here. We don't know whether the Chinese troops will come over. Maybe it will be next year, maybe not." Sasaki filled Kato with wine and said with a smile.

"Why? The empire is now unable to win against Chinese troops. Our navy has suffered losses in China. Why don't they come here? Division Commander, do you know what?" Kato looked at Sasaki in surprise when he heard this.

"Haha, the empire does not need Chinese land anymore. Our country will now immigrate to Australia. The only thing that threatens us is the United States.

You also know that the United States and the United Kingdom are wearing pairs of pants. Now the United Kingdom has been beaten by Germany, and Australia, Canada, India and Southeast Asia have been beaten by us. Do you think the United States will not help them fight?

Moreover, there is no possibility of peace talks between our empire and the United States. The United States will not recognize that we occupied Australia. Now we can recognize that we occupied Australia is Germany and Italy, and other countries will not recognize that. Therefore, the empire needs China's support.

In fact, in recent years, we have lost the most troops in China. Therefore, when necessary, the Empire will negotiate with China!" Sasaki said with a smile.

"Negotiate with China? Yosi, that's good. Now we are really not sure to win China. Our General Okamura Nishiji fought with Hu Bin from China several times, but they were all defeated, and the other generals were also killed by Hu Bin a lot.

Fortunately, Hu Bin is injured, otherwise if Hu Bin is transferred to the Northeast, it will be a huge threat to our Kwantung Army!" Kato nodded and said.

"Yes, now the generals of the empire, including you and me, are not sure of winning when facing Hu Bin, so it would be great if Hu Bin was injured and died." Sasaki said with a smile.

"Haha, Yosi, it's best to die!" Kato heard it and remembered it and said.

"Haha, but you really don't have to worry. The Empire Base Camp made speculations and negotiated with China. China would agree. We would give them all the Northeast, and at the same time, give them some of the money as war reparations, so that China would recognize our control over Australia.

China will agree. If the empire really wants to fight with China, China will not have a good life. I think people will definitely arrange for people to go to China and contact China!" Sasaki said with a smile.

"Yosi, if that's the case, I'll be relieved. In this way, our empire will really have a huge continent." Kato nodded and said.

"Okay, come on, cheers." Sasaki raised his glass and said to Kato.

"Yoxi, come on, cheers!" Kato also picked up the wine glass, touched Sasaki for a while, and fucked it.

"Report, many of the troops we went out to reconnaissance this morning have not returned yet and cannot be contacted now." At this time, a staff officer pushed the door and said to Sasaki.

"Nani?" Sasaki heard this and stood up suddenly.

"Hi, the reconnaissance troops that went out this morning have not come back yet and cannot be contacted. We are worried that they have encountered Chinese troops?" the staff officer said with his head down.

"Baga, go to the command center." Sasaki heard this, immediately picked up his gun and command knife and walked out, and Kato followed.

After arriving at the command center, the staff members looked at him.

"What the hell is going on? When did you lose contact?" Sasaki said, standing in the command hall.

"Report, at around 12 noon today, they lost contact. They were routine investigations. They went to our south to investigate 100 kilometers and went out a total of 20 teams, but they did not come back from telegram. They can't contact them now." Another senior staff officer stood up and reported.

"Report, the latest information, from the base camp, I found that a Chinese army was stationed in Tangshan. I don't know the number of troops. I guess we should set up defenses there. Let us be careful not to mess with this army." At this time, a staff officer came in with a telegram and said to Sasaki.

"A army came from Tangshan? Damn, they arranged 5 divisions around Peking, and now they still have to arrange troops?" Sasaki said in surprise when he heard this.

"His division commander, I think China must make arrangements in advance. Once the temperature rises, Chinese troops will plan to launch an attack. We also had intelligence before that, China's Commander Peng's command has been set up in Peiping, and they must arrange a large number of troops around Peiping.

Our reconnaissance troops today have been striking 100 kilometers ahead. I think the Chinese troops will definitely be dissatisfied. I guess they will fight with the Chinese reconnaissance troops on the front line." Kato said.

"Yoxi, it's almost 3 o'clock now. At most, there is an hour left. It's going to be dark. It may snow tonight. Forget it, don't investigate first. Remind our outpost troops to be vigilant. Our sentry must also be vigilant. Although the possibility of Chinese troops coming tonight is not high, we should not take it lightly." Sasaki looked at his watch and said.

"Hey, it's impossible to fight tonight. Tangshan's troops have just come here. It may snow in such a cold day. Why do they fight in such a weather environment? If they fight outside, I guess those soldiers can't even hold their guns." Kato also nodded from the side and said.

"His division commander, we have 20 teams now being investigated and cannot be contacted now. Should we arrange the troops to find them?" the chief of staff next to him looked at Sasaki and said.

"Yoxi, please arrange it and send troops to find them according to the data they reported. However, remind us to pay attention to safety in the troops we go out to find. One is to worry about Chinese troops, and the other is to pay attention. Once a blizzard occurs at night, find a place to hide first." Sasaki thought for a while and said to the Chief of Staff.

"Hi!" the Chief of Staff nodded.

"Our troops have been too far in reconnaissance. Now that Chinese troops have come, our reconnaissance distance will not exceed 80 kilometers in the future." Sasaki continued.

"Hi!" the Chief of Staff nodded.

"Okay, record what happened today, that's it." Sasaki said to the nervous staff.

"Hi!" the advisers nodded and said.

At this time, Hu Bin was with the guards and rushed to Qinhuangdao in a vehicle. The journey was safe. The troops in front had almost completed the reconnaissance troops released by the Japanese. Now they could drive over.

"Brother Bin, it's getting dark. What time is it?" Zhang Fan looked at the sky outside, then looked at his watch, and it was only around 3 pm.

"It will snow heavily. If it doesn't snow heavily, it will probably be dark at 5 o'clock. It will be dark here early." Hu Bin also looked outside and said.

"There will be no impact on this kind of combat?" Zhang Fan continued.

"Yes, the combat has an impact, but it is good to be able to catch the Japanese off guard. When they don't react, maybe we all attacked and approached!" Hu Bin heard it and said with a smile.

At this time, many Japanese were coming out on the Japanese defense line, all of which were from one team after another. They wanted to continue to find their reconnaissance troops that they went out in the morning.
