Chapter 680 Wei Lihuang's request
After Okamura Yasuji got the information from the UK, the Chief of Staff next to him was very happy. If the British troops surrendered, their casualties would be much smaller. And they heard that the British soldiers were quite rich, and if they got the money back, it would be good.
But Okamura Yanji was not as happy as others. He knew that Hu Bin's troops were still in Banmao. If those people were captured, the troops could not continue to advance and could only wait for the subsequent troops to come. If Hu Bin's troops touched them, then the 56th Brigade would be finished.
"Commander, what else has not been resolved? We can send troops to India now. Even if the troops in Mandalay do not move, we can still let the troops of the 25th Army retreat and start attacking India!" The chief of staff said, looking at Okamura Nishi.
"I know, but I don't feel at ease if Hu Bin's troops don't come out for a day. Hu Bin is the key to fighting us when he fights. If he doesn't take action, he will be killed if he takes action. We must have a successful negotiation with China before we dare to send troops to India. Now it depends on the country. Also, send a telegram to the 56th Brigade. If the British really surrender, they will kill them all before dawn tomorrow!" Okamura Yasuji said.
"Nani?" The Chief of Staff heard this and looked at Okamura Yanji with a little surprise.
"The 56th Brigade must march to India. As our advance force, we cannot come back. The British troops are very rich. After the 56th Brigade gets the money, if Hu Bin knows, he will definitely come to rob it, and we may not be able to save it at all. So, in order not to let the prisoners drag us down, kill them!" Okamura Yasuji said.
"Hi!" The chief of staff heard it, nodded, and went out immediately. Killing prisoners is very normal for the Japanese troops, so the chief of staff did not hesitate at all!
"Baga Hu Bin, what do you want to do? Can you sit down and have a good talk?" Okamura Neji sat there and cursed, and then sighed. What he was most worried about now was Hu Bin.
He knew that Hu Bin was not that easy to deal with. If he gathered heavy troops to kill Hu Bin, he didn't know whether he could win, but he knew that his troops must have suffered a lot of casualties. Now Hu Bin's power is getting bigger and bigger, and his troops' combat power is getting stronger and stronger. He is no longer sure to kill Hu Bin.
On Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin was sleeping. The troops were running very smoothly now, and the Japanese didn't dare to come over to cause trouble for him.
But Wei Lihuang's side was different. They just came over and fought with the 25th Army of the Japanese. They are still fighting, and there are thousands of casualties every day, with 240,000 people coming out, and now there are only 170,000 people left, of which 20,000 are sacrificed. Now the 25th Army of the Japanese are still attacking their own side fiercely.
He also knew that there was no war on Hu Bin now. It was not that Hu Bin didn't want to fight, but that the Japanese didn't dare to fight at all. Now the Japanese also knew that they could pick persimmons and specifically attack their own troops!
"Commander, I think it is necessary for us to let Hu Bin's troops come to reinforce. The 25th Army's troops are too arrogant!" Du Liming, the commander of Wei Lihuang, looked at Wei Lihuang and said.
"I know, but now Hu Bin wants to transfer the troops here, it takes a lot of time. I want Hu Bin to attack Mandalay and let the 25th Army troops visit back, but there is no other function to attack Mandalay except this function.
There are 5 divisions in Mandalay. If Hu Bin attacks for a strong force, the casualties may be greater. I don’t know what to do now. The soldiers are very tired now. After fighting for so long, the troops of each division have taken turns twice and need a rest." Wei Lihuang said in a sigh.
"Are you strange? Why did the Japanese come to fight us specifically and not attack Hu Bin's troops? Is there anything wrong with Hu Bin and the Japanese?" At this time, Jiang Dingwen, who was standing beside him, said.
"What's the trick? The commander-in-chief of Japan is Okamura Nishiji. He was defeated by Hu Bin twice. Now Hu Bin still occupies favorable terrain. Okamura Nishiji wants to fight Hu Bin, and it's useless not to assemble 300,000 troops. Will he dare to go now?" Wei Lihuang said with a glance at Jiang Dingwen.
"But now his troops have no effect there, and there is no war. Our troops are here, fighting every day, and the casualties are still so large. If this trend continues, our troops will be exhausted in less than a month!" Jiang Dingwen said to Wei Lihuang.
Wei Lihuang heard this and didn't say anything. It was true. If he continued like this for a month, his troops would definitely be exhausted. It would also be unsafe for China's borders.
"Come here, send Hu Bin a telegram, tell Hu Bin about our situation, and ask him if he has any solutions. If there is a solution, let him help me!" Wei Lihuang thought for a while and said.
“Yes, a senior adviser went to draw a telegram right away.
"Commander, why didn't Hu Bin kill Mandalay's troops? I feel that Hu Bin has this strength. His troops are very strong in combat. He killed more than 20,000 Japanese devils last night. Moreover, Hu Bin only used half of the troops, and the troops did not move. If Hu Bin wanted to attack Mandalay, he would be able to fight soon!" Du Liming looked at Wei Lihuang and asked.
"You can't fight. If we attack Mandalay, the devils will definitely keep attacking us. Mandalay is a fulcrum for the devils to attack India. Now we have broken up in the UK. There is no need to attack Mandalay at all. We carry bullets for the UK. Therefore, Mandalay cannot fight now. We also hope that the Japanese troops will teach those arrogant foreigners a lesson and make them look down on us!" Wei Lihuang explained.
"Then we can only be beaten passively now?" Du Liming asked looking at him.
"It can only be like this now. Unless we kill the 25th Army, at present, we do not have the strength. Yamashita Fengwen's troops are indeed very powerful. We can barely stop them with new weapons! Alas!" Wei Lihuang said with a sigh.
"The 25th Army is an elite force from Japan, with rich jungle combat experience, and now it is composed of veterans. Except for the rifles, the other weapons and equipment are better than ours. The Japanese will not always be in close contact with us, and they are bombarded with cannons. What do you think we will do? Our melee firepower advantage cannot be exerted at all!" Jiang Dingwen sat there and said.
"Wait, I hope Hu Bin has a solution." Wei Lihuang said in a sigh.
After Hu Bin happened to see Wei Lihuang's telegram.
After reading Wei Lihuang's telegram, Hu Bin touched his head and said, "Why haven't you been fighting yet? Can the 25th Army's troops be so powerful?"
"Commander, the 25th Army is Fengwen's troops at the foot of the Malay Tiger Mountain, and they can fight!" Li Dalong reminded Hu Bin and said.
"Malay Tiger? Humph, he calls him a tiger, what is I?" Hu Bin said coldly.
"You are a dragon, our Chinese dragon!" a consultant said with a smile.
"Hahahaha!" When the other staff officers heard this, they all burst into laughter.
"Nonsense, haha, I dare not call it a dragon. I don't have that ability, but I can still call this tiger. If I kill Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, I will be a tiger!" Hu Bin also said with a smile.
"You don't want to attack Fengwen of the Shanxia, don't forget that Mandalay still has more than 5 divisions. We are now fighting Fengwen of the Shanxia. What if the Mandalay devils come out?" Li Dalong immediately reminded him when he heard Hu Bin's words.
"When you come out, fight, what else can you say!" After Hu Bin said that, he walked to the front of the map and saw how to stab the mountain to express his essay, so he told him to get out quickly and not to take advantage of the Chinese troops.
"I don't recommend you fight. Now we mainly just keep here. Don't let the Japanese attack our China from here. Besides, Wei Lihuang also has troops from Guangxi and Yunnan. His troops are consumed more, and they will be replenished soon after. Our troops are consumed more. Who will replenish us?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
Hu Bin glanced at him, then said, "I didn't say I wanted to fight him and kill one of his troops. As long as I was here, he would have to consider whether to continue fighting China!"
"Which unit is it to fight?" Li Dalong asked at Hu Bin.
"Tomorrow, let our special forces regiment go and see the situation first. Don't be in a hurry now. Telegram to Commander Wei. I am looking for an opportunity now. If I have the opportunity, I will take a step to attack Fengwen of Shanxia, and try to let Fengwen of Shanxia be conscious and withdraw the troops!" Hu Bin said to a staff officer beside him.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard this and immediately wrote a telegram.
"Is there any information coming from Fang Lei?" Hu Bin asked.
"Not yet. But now the British troops are retreating again!" Li Dalong said.
"I'm still retreating, looking for death, they really think they can retreat to India? Really, a soldier is a nest of bells, and even a fool can see that the devils cannot let their troops return to India! Those British troops finally left the fortifications, can they still let them go back?" When Hu Bin heard this, he despised the British decision-making team very much.
Either don't come out, fight to the end when it comes out. Now they want to go back. They are fools when they are Japanese commanders. Those Japanese commanders can't make up their minds to eat this force and reduce the resistance to attack India next time.
"Report, Brother Shitou Telegram!" a special forces agent came to report.
"Oh! What's wrong?" Hu Bin heard it and asked at the staff officer.
"Brother Shitou said that the Japanese vanguard has arrived there now, but it has not started fighting. The British troops seem to have raised a white flag!" The staff officer said.
"What, surrender?" Hu Bin heard it, couldn't believe his ears, and widened his eyes and looked at the staff officer.
