Yamashita Fengwen couldn't even explain his anxious words clearly. He got angry and made his voice hoarse. The staff officer next to him didn't dare to speak at all. Now they could only do their own thing.

"Continue to contact the 18th Division and our armored brigade. Be sure to contact them. We will speed up the marching. Go there quickly. Damn it!" Yamashita Tobuki calmed down his emotions and said to the Chief of Staff.

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff nodded and continued to work on his own affairs.

And in Yangon, Okamura Yasuji didn't sleep either. Now he was waiting for news from the front line. The 18th Division could no longer contact him. He didn't know where the Armored Brigade's troops have reached and how they fought.

"Commander, please rest early. It's getting late. If there is any news, I will notify you!" said the chief of staff of the headquarters.

Now everyone in the entire headquarters knows that Okamura Yanji's judgment is correct, and Hu Bin's troops cannot be underestimated. As soon as they passed, the troops of a division might have been scrapped. They don't know how the armored brigades behind them are fighting, so they can only wait for news.

The staff members all believed that it was right for Okamura Yamashita Tomoto to withdraw the troops, but Yamashita Tomoto did not listen.

"Wait, I want to know how Hu Bin's troops will act next. Should they continue to guard Xibu or retreat!" Okamura Yanji said.

"This, they will definitely guard this, right? If they don't guard it, what's the use of fighting Xibu? It's just to kill one of our divisions? Help Wei Lihuang's troops to rescue the siege?" The chief of staff heard it and looked at Okamura Yanji and said.

"No, not necessarily. I want to know what Hu Bin means now? Because we negotiated with China and we don't know how the talks were. I hope we can negotiate well, but this matter is not something we can control. If it is not negotiated well, what should we do? Will we fight India?

We need to print the degree. We must know Hu Bin's movements. I hope Hu Bin's troops will retreat. If he retreats, we still have a chance to print the degree. If he does not retreat, we can only gather heavy troops and defeat Hu Bin's troops first. However, the fighter jets in India will be delayed, so that our losses will be greater." Okamura Yanji said.

When the Chief of Staff heard this, he didn't know what Okamura Yanji said. How could he retreat still have a chance? If he retreated, isn't it even harder to fight?

"If he defends Xibu this time, it means that Hu Bin still wants to fight us, but he has not found a chance. If he finds an opportunity, he will attack Mandalay next time. I don't want Hu Bin to attack Mandalay. We must kill him before Hu Bin attacks Mandalay.

But if Hu Bin retreats, that's not the case, which means that Hu Bin doesn't want to fight us. At this time, we can send a delegation secretly to Hu Bin's side and pay a certain price. We have to give us a guarantee to ensure that it will take up enough troops to attack India. Now I want to know what Hu Bin means." Okamura Nishi said while sitting there.

"What?" The Chief of Staff looked at Okamura Yanji in surprise.

He expressed considerable doubts about what Okamura Nagaki just said. It was not that he could negotiate, but that Okamura Nagaki could know what Hu Bin thought through this matter? Okamura Nagaki heard what he said in a lost voice and glanced at him.

"Commander, I want to know how you judged it. If we cannot reach a negotiation agreement with China, if Hu Bin retreats, how do you know that Hu Bin will talk to us?" The Chief of Staff immediately explained and asked.

"Ha, how do I know? Hu Bin, people who have no profits can't get up early. Now we are in Southeast Asia, not in China, and our next action is not to attack China. For other Chinese generals, I dare not say this, but for Hu Bin, unless we violate his interests, otherwise Hu Bin would not attack us abroad. He is for China, not for Britain." Okamura Yasuji said, looking at the map in front.

"Is this? Is this??" the chief of staff still looked at him in disbelief and asked.

"See if his troops will retreat. I hope I'm not wrong with him. If he doesn't retreat, the next battle will be really hard to fight! I don't want to fight with Hu Bin here now. It's not worth it for our country, and it's not worth it for Hu Bin!

But I am worried that Hu Bin considers that after we conquer India, he will enter China again, so he wants to solve us in advance and add trouble to us, which is really trouble." Okamura Yasuji continued.

"Then, I'll know tonight. If Hu Bin withdraws his troops and China has not reached an agreement, we will send a delegation?" the chief of staff asked.

"I have to go after the negotiation is completed. Hu Bin doesn't listen to Chongqing. He will still beat him. This person is so weird! So I must stabilize Hu Bin. I will send a telegram to the base camp to see if I can use 20 million US dollars. If I buy Hu Bin for half a year to a year, I won't take action against our Mandalay. In fact, it's enough for half a year!" Okamura Nishi said.

"We have to go even if we have a negotiation?" the chief of staff continued.

"Yes! For Hu Bin, we have a bottom line. Don't let Hu Bin be dissatisfied. If he is dissatisfied with us, it will be difficult for us to fight. I don't know whether Hu Bin is satisfied or not, but we need to satisfy him. If he is satisfied, we dare to let go of the fight!

Just like doing business, 10,000 yuan can satisfy important people, but 5,000 yuan is actually OK, but you can only give 10,000, but you can't give 5,000 yuan. If you give 5,000 yuan, you will pay more in the future. If you give 10,000 or more, you may help you solve many things that you have not considered before.

For Hu Bin, that's it. It's okay to satisfy him. If he is dissatisfied, it's a big deal. We must make sure that Hu Bin does not interfere in attacking India against us. We must make sure." Okamura Yanji said.

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard it and nodded.

He now understood what Okamura Yanji meant. Hu Bin would not obey Chongqing's command. If you want to make him dissatisfied, no matter what contract you have negotiated, he will still fight. In order to ensure that there will be no problems with the offense, he must talk to Hu Bin to make him satisfied.

However, on Xibu's side, there are now banging explosions and firelights everywhere.

"What a pity, we can support so much food for two of us!" Xu Zhuoyue looked at the burning warehouses and said with great regret.

"There is nothing pity. We can't get it back at all. Now we have got some medicines, grenades, and bullets are useless. At that time, we will pour gasoline on him and burn whatever we can!" Wang Changhe said.

The Japanese bullets were different from those used by the 99th Army. Apart from the bullets of heavy machine guns, the soldiers could not take all of them away. After all, there were only so many horses that they could not carry much.

"It's already past 2 o'clock, and we'll retreat at 3 o'clock. We can't stay here anymore. The Japanese troops will come soon!" Wang Changhe looked at his watch and said.

Now there are troops retreating. Logistics units filled with materials retreat first, and the wounded soldiers of infantry troops retreat first. The large army has to wait until the burning here is almost done before it can begin to retreat.

"Well. My two regiments have entered the path and started to retreat!" Xu Zhuoyue nodded and said.

"Let's go, we have to leave here too!" Wang Changhe said, now they are going to the back to arrange for the troops to retreat.

In a valley more than ten miles south, there were more than 500 Japanese lying on the ground, and some Japanese officers climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at Xibu in the distance.

"Xibu is burning, and Chinese troops are burning the supplies we store in Xibu. It is estimated that the wounded are in danger." The chief of staff of the 18th Division came to Baiwu Qingji and said.

Because of the cover of the troops who broke through the west, he successfully retreated from the path under the escort of his guards. He walked for more than three hours before he got here.

Now Baiwu Qingji is not in the mood to speak, because his entire 18th Division may have run out of such a few people and can declare the entire army annihilated. Faced with such a great defeat, no commander could calm down. He was just him who wanted to commit suicide at this time, but his guards followed him and did not give him this opportunity at all.

"The Chinese troops will not stay in Xibu anymore. They will retreat. Is our telegram turned on?" Baiwu Qingji said.

"It may be opened now, you go down and ask!" The chief of staff heard it and immediately said to a staff officer next to him.

"Wait a minute, whether it is turned on or not, we have to turn on the telegraph machine now and then send telegrams to the commander and commander-in-chief. Hu Bin's troops occupied Xibu, but they were burning the supplies.

I speculate that they may not occupy Xibu. Since they will not occupy Xibu, the other troops of our 25th Army should not be so anxious to rush on the road. Otherwise, once they are ambushed by Hu Bin's troops, they will suffer a great loss. Hu Bin's troops have strong firepower and strong combat power. All troops coming to support must be careful and do not be ambushed!" Baiwu Qingji said to the staff officer.

"Hi!" The staff officer heard this, nodded, and started running down the mountain.

"Secretary Commander, what should we do next?" The Chief of Staff looked at Baiwu Qingji and asked.
Chapter completed!
