Chapter 1228 The devil has acted
18 Nara Takeji ordered the Detroit troops to retreat. He could not retreat. If he did not retreat, he would be killed by Hu Bin's troops. In order to preserve more troops, he could only order to retreat. However, he still felt a little scared about the combat effectiveness of Hu Bin's troops. Such troops made him feel very stressed.
"If not, 10,000 troops are not enough, it is not enough at all!" Takeji Nara said to himself.
Hu Bin's troops used days to wipe out his troops of about 40,000 or 10,000 troops. Nara Takeji didn't know how many days he could last.
"Commander?" said the chief of staff next to him.
"Send telegrams to the base camp, I need to mobilize more troops to encircle Hu Bin. 10,000 is not enough, it is not enough!" Nara Takeji said.
"However, Canadian troops have been transferred, but there is not enough weapons and equipment. If there are too many troops, the United States may have counterattacked, and we have no more troops!" The Chief of Staff said as he looked at Takeji Nara.
"Draw troops from the south and let the American troops in the south come out. Since you want to fight, fight bigger. Let the American troops come out. If the American troops come out, it will be easy to fight. I am not worried about the American troops, what I am worried about is Hu Bin's troops." Takeji Nara looked at the Chief of Staff and said.
"Commander, do you mean, we retreat and let the American troops attack us on their own initiative?" Chief of Staff m.~l~ asked looking at him.
"Yes, we retreat some cities to let the United States think they have a chance. It is still possible for us to find a place to ambush them. You go and send a telegram to the base camp, and plan at the same time to see how to attract the American troops out. As long as they come out, it will be beneficial to us!" Takeji Nara looked at his chief of staff and said.
"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard this, nodded, and then went to do it.
Soon, Okamura Nishiji, who was in the base camp, received a telegram from Takeji Nara. Looking at Takeji Nara, Okamura Nishiji sighed. He also knew that the generals on the front line were under great pressure when facing Hu Bin.
"Master Land, we have no troops to mobilize. If we draw troops from all over the United States according to Takeji Nara's suggestion, it may cause a rebound from American troops. Once they form counterattack forces, it will still be a threat to our troops!" A general looked at Okamura Yasuji and said.
"Threats? They are all new recruits. What threats can they pose to us? I think this suggestion from Takeji Nara is good. It will attract the devils and even if necessary, we will retreat more cities to allow the United States to gather good troops.
In this way, it may be possible for us to find a place to ambush American troops, which can reduce the pressure on us to attack American cities. I think it is OK, but Takeji Nara immediately comes up with his ideas and I want to see their combat plan!" Okamura Yasuji said.
"Hi!" The general heard this and went to do it immediately.
"I don't see that Hu Bin wants to attack Toronto, it doesn't necessarily mean that way. Come and study the terrain of Detroit. As long as Hu Bin occupys this place, then if our troops want to attack Hu Bin's troops, they can only attack Detroit first to have a chance. Otherwise, our troops will not be able to get through.
In other words, if Hu Bin occupys this place, he can block all the troops we transferred from the north outside Detroit. Now those who can attack Hu Bin can only attack from the south. Hu Bin knows this, so he wants to control Detroit and knows that there are not many troops south of us.
His troops could also be blocked in the south. He was so smart. He actually used such a large place to be his rear and had the ability!" Okamura Yasuji pointed to the map and said to the generals.
"Well, if that's the case, Detroit shouldn't have retreated!" said a lieutenant general.
"No, we need to retreat. Our troops cannot stop them in Detroit. Hu Bin has calculated the time and knows that we have no troops to support this place before they attack. Therefore, Hu Bin will definitely be able to take this place!" Okamura Nishi shook his head and said.
"Then commander, what you mean is that now we can only rely on the south side to fight. So, how many troops do we need in the south side?" the general asked, looking at Okamura Yasuji.
"It takes more than 80,000 yuan, and a large number of tanks, artillery, and cars are needed. We also need to form a rapid response force so that we can fight Hu Bin's troops!" Okamura Yasuji said immediately.
"Well, however, Hu Bin's troops are all armored troops. We may not be able to do it, but we still have tanks!" A general next to him nodded and said.
"It's just to fight with Hu Bin's troops with tanks. This time, we will kill Hu Bin's troops." Okamura Yiji nodded and said.
When the other staff members heard this, they nodded. Now they just want to kill Hu Bin's troops. As long as they kill Hu Bin's troops, the United States will not be a problem, and the entire America will not be a problem.
At around 9 o'clock that night, Huang Wenjin's troops completely captured Lansing, and then the troops rested for a while and marched towards Detroit overnight. Huang Wenjin's troops wanted to join Ding Wanzhong's troops and then attack Detroit. The soldiers were already very tired and could only rest in the car now.
"Hey, after fighting this battle, it's time to take a break, right?" Huang Wenjin looked at the marching troops in the distance, stood in front of the command car, sighed and said.
Now that the soldiers are so tired, they still have to attack, Huang Wenjin didn't think about it, but there was no way. According to Hu Bin's plan, Detroit must take down this place before Japanese troops occupied it. One was to control the devils from the north, and the other was to create a way out for Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng's troops have been marching secretly, with the purpose of sneak attacks. As long as the sneak attack is successful, the battle here will be over. However, after the sneak attack is successful, Xiang Feng's troops need to retreat, so Detroit is the route for Xiang Feng's troops to retreat.
"Report, Brother Bin's telegram!" A staff officer said to Huang Wenjin with the telegram.
Huang Wenjin heard this and started reading with the telegram.
"Reply to Brother Bin and tell him that we will definitely take Detroit before 1 a.m. tomorrow!" Huang Wenjin said, Hu Bin and the others didn't know that the Japanese troops in Detroit were ready to retreat.
It was not until three hours later that the special forces hiding outside the city of Detroit discovered that Japanese troops began to leave Detroit and sent a telegram to Hu Bin and Huang Wenjin. It was already early in the morning, and Hu Bin was shouted out of the marching by Mo Sho.
"Has Japanese troops retreated?" Hu Bin looked at the telegram and frowned.
"Yes. In this way, our troops will not have to suffer casualties and take down this place." Mo She said to Hu Bin.
"Does Huang Wenjin and Ding Wanzhong know this news?" Hu Bin asked at Mo She.
"I know, I've sent it to them!" Mo She nodded.
"Tell them, marching quickly, and after arriving in Detroit, I will set up a defense line. Tomorrow morning, I will let the American troops in Detroit City enter the defense line.
Also, Huang Wenjin and the others were resting in Detroit until the morning and afternoon of the day after tomorrow, they started to march south. Then I would send them a telegram, what are the ideas for Mad, what are the little Japanese?" Hu Bin said to Mo She.
After Mo Shi recorded the telegram, he immediately sent it to Huang Wenjin, while Hu Bin stood up and began to think about this. Why did the Japanese troops retreat? They were afraid that they would attack Toronto themselves. This is possible, but it may not be!
Hu Bin thought about it for a long time at the command center, but before he could come out, he continued to go to bed. He had to wait for more news to come back.
At around 4 a.m., Huang Wenjin and Ding Wanzhong's troops arrived in Detroit and met the commander of the defenders in the city of Detroit. The three people discussed the arrangement of defense lines.
After dawn, the American soldiers in the city of Detroit began to use the terrain to set up defense lines outside the city, and Huang Wenjin's troops also went to help.
The weather here is very cold and the ground is full of frozen soil. It is very difficult to dig fortifications. You can only use explosions, and then the soldiers can dig them, and the people in Detroit have also come out.
Huang Wenjin and his troops were staring in front, and the defenders in Detroit were also digging trenches and building fortifications. More than 40,000 people in Detroit came out.
On this day, Hu Bin's troops were resting on the first day after entering the Eastern Front. The entire troops did not fight, but in the United States, more news came that the Japanese troops retreated from the south, and many Japanese troops marched to the north.
"For us, so many troops from cities have retreated. In short, the troops from the south may have exceeded 140,000. Are the Japanese crazy?" Hu Bin looked at the map and said worriedly.
He couldn't understand why the Japanese troops would retreat voluntarily. For those American cities, they retreated, but for themselves, they were encirclement.
"Brother Bin, Japan wants to kill us completely. They may have discovered the situation in Detroit and knew that we were going to block the devils in the north there, so they are planning to attack from the south now! 140,000 troops, plus the troops they prepared before, there may be tens of thousands!" A senior staff officer looked at Hu Bin and said.
"It's very likely, but I feel it's unlikely. Okamura Yanji is crazy and wants to fight me hard?" Hu Bin said, touching his chin.
"Only by killing us can they attack the United States better. I think Okamura Yanji had this idea!" Another senior staff officer also spoke.
"The army is definitely not like this. Okamura Yanji is not stupid! He will not use pure infantry troops to come to us, he will die!" Hu Bin immediately shook his head and said. (To be continued.)
