Ding Wanzhong told Xiang Feng that he wanted to send a telegram to Hu Bin, hoping that Xiang Feng would continue to command. ⊙

Xiang Feng heard this and was dissatisfied. He knew what Hu Bin meant and understood why Hu Bin did this. It was not that Hu Bin did not believe in Xiang Feng. Xiang Feng, he trusted him very much, but he knew that Hu Bin needs more help now.

Hu Bin now commands more than 300,000 troops. In the future, Hu Bin needs to command more troops, but it is definitely not possible to rely on Hu Bin alone. Hu Bin needs more generals who can stand alone, but there is a huge problem in Yan'an, which is the serious shortage of cadres.

There are many cadre schools in Yan'an now, but compared with the gap in Yan'an, it is still insufficient, especially senior generals. Senior generals cannot be trained by the college and must undergo realistic assessments. Senior generals need to have sufficient combat experience.

"Old Ding, you look down on me Xiang Feng!" Xiang Feng said to Ding Wanzhong.

"What? I look down on you. Where do you say this? You know, we generals all know that you have made a lot of contributions. If it weren't for Chongqing that stuck us, you would at least be a lieutenant general now.

Among us teachers, few of us can make more contributions than you. Of course, I know that Li Qinwei and Fang Lei have made similar contributions to you, but we are not from special forces groups, so we must not have more contributions than you. We all admire you very much!" Lao Ding didn't know why Xiang Feng said that, and immediately explained.

When several other infantry division commanders and tank commanders heard this, they nodded. They agreed with Xiang Feng and other cadres from the special regiment. They also knew that these people were brothers who had been through life and death with Hu Bin. They wanted to be capable and have credit for their contributions, and no one would be jealous.

Xiang Feng waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that, Lao Ding, are you worried that I will have an objection to you after you become the commander, are you worried that I will not be able to command me, are you worried that I will stumbling up for these things when fighting?"

"No, really, no, Lao Xiang, I, Lao Ding, aren't such people. I just think you are more suitable for the commander this time than me!" Lao Ding waved his hand and said.

"Old Ding, I, Xiang Feng, was a hunter before. Brother Bin invited me to join the Eighth Route Army. Follow Brother Bin, I don't know how much I have learned, but there is one thing I have learned very well, for the country and the people, not for myself!

Maybe you don’t believe it, do you know? If Brother Bin doesn’t fight, I dare to say that the wealth of the four major families in the Republic of China is nothing to Brother Bin. Not to mention anything else, Brother Bin has also made hundreds of millions of dollars for Yan'an. If Brother Bin wants to deduct these money, he can deduct it. Now it’s a chaotic world. Who dares to say what Hu Bin deducted it?

We have also asked Brother Bin why he didn't deduct the money so that all the brothers could live a good life. Do you know what Brother Bin said?" Xiang Feng asked at the teachers and commanders.

All of those people shook their heads, wondering what Hu Bin would say.

"Brother Bin said that we brothers should live a good life simple, very simple, and we don't have to deduct that money. As long as he thinks, he will have money, but it will be difficult to let the people of the whole country live a good life! Brother Bin said that he dare not say that he can definitely bring the people to live a good life, but he will do his best to do it. In this life, people always have to leave a thought for others. If you have great ability, you should leave more. If you don't have the ability, at least you should leave a thought for your relatives around you.

So, I tell you, I have our brothers from the special forces regiment. No matter who comes to command, we will obey. Of course, he is right. He is for the country and the people, and if you want your command, he is also for the country and the people. I think, Lao Ding, why are you doing military wars? You won’t starve to death when you go home to farm. Do you like it when you fight with your head on your belt every day?

Brother Bin hopes you can grow up! I want to tell you another thing, that is, the people here will have the opportunity to command wars separately. What is the purpose? Do you know?" Xiang Feng said to them.

They still stared at Xiang Feng. When they heard Xiang Feng say this, they shook their heads and looked at Xiang Feng.

"The purpose is to give everyone the opportunity to command troops in the future and will not cause huge casualties to their troops because of their lack of command experience!" Xiang Feng said to them.

"We also have to command alone?" Wei Cheng asked at Xiang Feng.

"Everyone needs command. Now it's Lao Ding. I probably either Commander Li Dalong or Li Qinwei. Next is Xu Zhuoyue, and then you guys. Brother Bin will ask you to command three or more divisions to jointly fight, preparing for your future promotion to commander. So I said, Lao Ding, you look down on me!" Xiang Feng said and really stared at Ding Wanzhong.

"No, no, really, no, Lao Xiang, this time it's wrong. I, I won't say anything. After this battle, I will treat you to dinner. I will cook myself. Don't dislike me. You guys must come over, will you do it?" Lao Ding said to them.

"That must come!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.

"Prepare your wine, you won't come without good wine!" Ding Yuan, the commander of the 233rd Division, said with a smile.

"Yes, you can't come without good wine." Several other teachers said with a smile.

"Then there must be. If I don't ask the commander to go, there must be good wine in the warehouse. The commander doesn't like this, so I'll get it!" Ding Wanzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, that's it. Let me tell you, Lao Ding, you just said you would send a telegram to Brother Bin and give me the command. Do you believe it or not? The commander will come here tonight and use a belt to kill us two!" Xiang Feng said with a laugh.

"No way?" Ding Wanzhong heard this and looked at Xiang Feng in fear.

"No? If you don't believe me, just try it. I'll tell you, Brother Bin has finished scoring you, and we will ask the two of us to write a review!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.

"I won't try anymore. Now the commander is so busy, he must consider the direction of the entire army's action. By the way, Lao Xiang, according to the telegram sent by the commander, I guess we will take action in the second half of the night tonight. Now we also have to go and have a rest. We may not have a chance to rest until dawn tonight." Ding Wanzhong said to them.

"Well, I'm going to rest. Let's arrange a staff officer on duty here, let's take a break!" Xiang Feng and the others nodded and said.

Soon, they parted and went to rest.

At Okamura Yasuji, he was still anxiously ordering the staff to send a telegram to the division commander of the Malai defense line, because an hour ago, after the last division commander sent the final telegram, they could no longer contact any division commander on the front line. Not to mention the division commander, even the brigade commander could not contact him.

Okamura Yanji could not accept it. The Malai defense line did not block Hu Bin for 24 hours. Hu Bin's previous explicit telegram was accurate! If Hu Bin sent out a clear telegram at this time and said that he had broken through the Malai defense line, it would have become a joke. He would have lost three battles with Hu Bin!

However, Okamura Yasuji had not seen Hu Bin sending a clear telegram, and he was also a little looking forward to the front line.

"Commander, maybe, the entire army on the Malai defense line has been wiped out. Let's prepare for the defense line behind!" Seeing that Okamura Nishi was still walking back and forth in the command center, the Chief of Staff immediately reminded Okamura Nishi not to persist in contacting the front line troops.

"No, we must have troops on the front line. Otherwise, Hu Bin would definitely invent the code and telegram. I know Hu Bin's character very well. He will definitely be very proud of him if he defeated Malai in such a short time. He will definitely send it." Okamura Yasuji shook his head firmly and said.

"But what if we contact us, we definitely don't have many troops on the front line. Now our focus should be on the defense line behind us.

Malai was broken through, and Hu Bin's troops would definitely be pressing towards the defense line behind us soon. What we have to do now is to keep Mandalay persistent for more than 2 months so that our Indian troops can reinforce from there!" The Chief of Staff said, looking at Okamura Niji.

"Haga!" Okamura Yanji heard this and looked up at the roof of the command center.

He was very unwilling to give up and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Why can't his troops stop Hu Bin's troops from attacks, and he can't hold on for 24 hours? If Hu Bin has more troops, then who else can block Hu Bin's attack in the entire Japan?

"Commander, Ruibao's troops are about to retreat. Now the vanguard has begun to retreat to Madeya. Other troops will completely evacuate Ruibao before 9 pm." A staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Okamura Yasuji.

"Yoxi, order them to be fast. Hu Bin's troops will attack Madeya and Meiliu after dawn tomorrow. It is very likely that they will launch attacks at the same time between the two defense lines. After all, their tanks are very powerful!" Okamura Nishi nodded and said.

"Commander, now we have to consider how our troops in India will fight once Mandalay is lost. Now the Indian offensive is very good. The British troops will not last for a few days. At that time, we can order some troops to come back to aid in advance to encircle Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang's troops. I have an idea!" The Chief of Staff looked at Okamura Yanji and said.

"What's your thoughts? Let's hear it." Okamura Nishi said as he looked at him.
