Chapter 669 On the Eve of the Bombing
Fang Lei's troops were following the British troops. After he saw the Japanese reconnaissance planes coming in the sky, he immediately said good things, because the Japanese reconnaissance planes came, and they would definitely be able to discover British troops. Now the British troops are marching on the road, so it is impossible for Japanese reconnaissance planes not to be discovered. The chapter is updated the fastest
"Commander, Japanese reconnaissance plane!" A British staff officer saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane and immediately reported to Slim. However, his tone was a little anxious, and he was worried that the Japanese bombers would come later.
"Damn it, why didn't they bomb the Chinese troops? Isn't the Chinese troops in Banmao now?" Slim immediately got out of the car and said, looking at the plane in the sky.
He thought that the Japanese bombers today would blow up Chinese troops, but he did not expect that those reconnaissance opportunities would come here. Last night he wanted to march because he wanted to block the Chinese troops from behind so that they could leave here quickly. In his heart, the Japanese bombers today would definitely blow up Chinese troops, rather than chasing him.
"I don't know, maybe this plane is here to investigate." A major general immediately started.
"I hope this will make our troops accelerate the march. It's not too far away. There are more than 500 kilometers left. At our current speed, we can return to India in 2 days. When we arrive in India, we will be safe!" Slim glanced at the reconnaissance plane in the sky and said, now he must lead his troops to leave here as soon as possible.
"Does our empty troops need to be prepared?" a major general asked, looking at Slim.
"Prepare, go to the front to prepare. If the bomber really comes, it will be troublesome! By the way, let us walk soldiers immediately enter the forest and walk inside!" Slim said again.
"The vehicle continues to move forward?" asked another major general.
"Well, the vehicle keep moving forward! Let our air defense forces guard!" Slim nodded and said.
"Yes!" Those people heard this and immediately went to make arrangements.
On the other side of Japan, Okamura Yasuji immediately received a report from the reconnaissance plane in front. The reconnaissance plane discovered the marching team of British troops. Now he asked whether to send bombers to bomb.
"Send it out. Now we haven't found Hu Bin's troops at all. Send it out immediately and bomb them!" Okamura Yasuji made up his mind and said, "Anyway, the printing schedule will be required in the future, so the British troops cannot be allowed to go back now, so they discovered that the British troops must be bombed."
"They are now on Indo's side. It is always a threat to our Mandalay, and it is also a huge hidden danger to the attacking troops of the 25th Army. If Hu Bin's troops really attack Mandalay, then the 25th Army may not be able to retreat!" A staff officer asked Okamura Nishiji.
"Damn it!" Okamura Yasuji cursed when he heard the staff officer's words.
Of course, he knew the current situation of the 25th Army. It would be fine if Hu Bin didn't attack Mandalay. Once he really attacked Mandalay, the 25th Army would be in trouble. Even said that Hu Bin might not attack Mandalay, but instead directly attacked the 25th Army troops from behind. Then Mandalay must send reinforcements out, and Mandalay's defense will be insufficient at that time.
In Okamura Yanji's eyes, Hu Bin's troops could do such a thing, and he would probably do it. However, it would not be possible to withdraw the 25th Army from the front line. Once the 25th Army retreated from the front line, Wei Lihuang's troops would also begin to threaten Mandalay. In this way, Mandalay would not be safe.
Mandalay is an important fulcrum for them to attack India on land and an important fulcrum for threatening China. We cannot just lose it.
"If we want to defend Mandalay, we need at least 7 divisions. And we cannot take the initiative to attack. According to our staff deduction, to prevent Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang's troops from capturing Mandalay, we must have 7 divisions. If our 7 divisions are in Mandalay, the rest of the troops must be insufficient!" The chief of staff next to him looked at Okamura and said.
"I know, the base camp now means we want us to take India. There are not many British troops in India at all. As long as our troops pass, the British troops cannot stop it. But with Hu Bin's troops here, we cannot concentrate on printing. We must divide some troops to see Hu Bin. Damn Hu Bin, why did he come here?" Okamura Yanji said this and cursed directly.
At this time, at the Mandalay Airport, the Japanese bombers had already begun to take off, and their targets were British troops. They were now going to bomb the British marching troops.
"Report, Slim's telegram!" A secretary came to Churchill with a telegram.
"Yeah!" Churchill nodded, and looked at it with the telegram.
Now he is busy and busy. The German troops are pressing step by step and are already bombing them. The British troops in Southeast Asia have been retreating step by step. The troops there are also insufficient. Now I hope that the Chinese troops can come out and help them block the Japanese troops.
But now it seems that it is not going well. Today, they spent 200 million meters to ask for Chinese troops to help. If they had known this, they would have made it clear to China from the beginning and asked them to send troops to fight in Southeast Asia. Their own troops returned to Britain because they did not say that China thought that Britain had deceived them, and now they are very dissatisfied with Britain.
"Let Wright ask China's Hu Bin, ask him if their troops are still in Indo now, and ask Wright to remind Hu Bin that Japanese bombers may go to bomb them!" Churchill looked at the telegram and said to the secretary.
Of course, he was not kind-hearted, but asked Wright to test Hu Bin. He wanted to know if Hu Bin's troops had been exposed. If it was exposed, then the Japanese bombers would definitely bomb the Chinese troops first.
"Yes!" The secretary went out immediately!
"Reported that the German air force is attacking again. Many cities along our coast have been bombed by the Luftwaffe. Now we need the United States to increase military assistance to us. In addition, Germany has begun to attack North Africa. Our troops there are seriously insufficient. Once Germany occupy North Africa, we will lose an important colony. At that time, our local area may be short of a lot of supplies." A general from the army came to Churchill and said.
"Damn it, the United States is discussing this matter now, and there is probably no problem. As long as the United States starts to support us on a large scale, I think there is no problem in defending North Africa!" Churchill cursed when he heard the general talking about the war now.
When they face Germany, they were always in a state of being beaten. In any place, they could not resist Germany's attack. Once Germany occupied North Africa, the next target was the Middle East. This was Churchill's speculation. What he didn't know was that Germany's next target was not the Middle East at all, but the Soviet Union!
"Report, Wright requested to see the commander!" At this time, on the side of Myitkyina, a guard soldier came to Li Dalong and reported.
"See the commander, the commander is going to sleep. Please let him in!" Li Dalong lay on the recliner and said to the guard.
"Yes!" The guards immediately went out.
Soon, Wright brought the translator to Hu Bin's command center.
"General Li, I just received a telegram saying that the bombers from Japan might go to bomb your troops in Indo, so I came here to remind you!" When Wright saw Li Dalong, he immediately smiled.
"Oh, thank you! Don't worry about this. Our troops can defend well!" Li Dalong was stunned when he heard it, but he also knew that the British could not know the things on the front line, and he could only say that his troops could defend themselves.
"That's good, I'll just come here to remind you." Wright said with a smile.
"Report, special forces telegram!" At this time, a staff officer came to Li Dalong with the telegram from the special forces telegram and said.
When Li Dalong heard this, he took the telegram and looked carefully. When he saw that it was Fang Lei who sent it, he said that he had discovered that Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared over the British marching troops.
Fang Lei speculated that Japan might send bombers to bomb British troops. Fang Lei wanted to change his strategy and not directly attack British troops, but wanted to go around in front and block British troops from advancing, and then let Japanese bombers and even ground troops come to attack.
"You go and send this telegram to the commander. This requires the commander to decide." Li Dalong looked at it, gave the telegram to the staff officer, and asked him to find Hu Bin, because Fang Lei's operation this time was planned by Hu Bin. Li Dalong didn't know what the specific goal was, so he didn't know how to command it.
After the staff officer left, Li Dalong looked at Wright with a smile. He had thought that the British were really kind to remind him, but now it seems that it is not. The British wanted to test themselves. He wanted to test whether their troops were exposed to enemy bombers, so that the troops they were marching could make a judgment.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Wright, for reminding me that my troops are still trying to get out of the battle with the Japanese troops. Your British troops can leave, but our troops are not good. We are still fighting with the Japanese troops!" Li Dalong said to Wright with a smile.
"Oh, then be careful, Japanese bombers may appear." Wright was quite happy when he heard this, but he still pretended to be very concerned about the Chinese troops and reminded Li Dalong.
