Chapter 779 Unable to deal with (tenth)
Wei Lihuang sat there and looked at the commanders. He knew that the commanders in front of him knew that the news from Hu Bin was very likely true, but there was one person who was an exception. He did not believe that Japan was now preparing to encircle and annihilate them.
"Commander Wei, I don't agree with what you said. This telegram has not been confirmed at all. We will make arrangements now. Isn't it too early?" Jiang Dingwen said to Wei Lihuang.
"When we confirm it, it will be too late. The Japanese won't give us too much time. I just thought a lot outside. I think we have at most 3 days. In 3 days, the Japanese vanguard will launch a tentative attack on us. So, after we finish the meeting, you will have to go back and start setting up defense lines. Now we have to hurry up!
Moreover, now we will not discuss the authenticity of this telegram, we will only discuss how we should arrange our defense now!" Wei Lihuang said to Jiang Dingwen.
"This cannot be true. Japan does not have enough troops to deal with us now. How can you believe what Hu Bin said?" Jiang Dingwen said very angrily.
"Brother, calm down. If this telegram is fake, why did Hu Bin send it? How dare Hu Bin send such information?
Think about it carefully, Hu Bin is not a regiment commander or a division commander, he is a frontline commander who commands hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think he will make a mistake in his judgment, and you think I will make a mistake in his judgment. Ask these commanders, what do they think?" Wei Lihuang looked at Jiang Dingwen and said a little annoyed.
When is it now? He is still playing with Hu Bin!
"Deputy Commander, this may be true. According to the information we know here, Japan has hundreds of thousands of troops in Thailand, and there are also many troops in other places. And according to the notice sent by Hu Bin, the Japanese have at least 300,000 troops in Yangon, which can completely attack us!" At this time, Du Liming, the commander of the Fifth Army, said immediately.
"Is it true?" Jiang Dingwen heard them say this, and he didn't dare to hold on any longer. He could only look at Wei Lihuang. Wei Lihuang nodded helplessly. Jiang Dingwen sat down at this time.
"This time we have to follow the method Hu Bin said, shrink the defense line, dig the air raid shelter, and seize the time for logistics supply. Our logistics supply line is too long, so the Japanese will definitely stare there. Made, this time it is really troublesome!" Wei Lihuang said.
"We can ask Hu Bin to come and support us!" Jiang Dingwen said to Wei Lihuang.
"He will definitely come, but it is still a question whether we can hold on until he comes. You read the telegram just now. The Japanese have sent 80,000 troops to the road from Mandalay to us in advance.
This area is full of forests, and there are many small roads. Hu Bin wants to send troops to reinforce it, but it will take three days without the enemy's obstruction. If there is a Japanese block, it will probably be difficult for a week. Hu Bin cannot send a large number of troops here.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Yangon. He wants to stare at Yangon. We can only rely on ourselves here!" Wei Lihuang said.
"Commander, then if so, we will be this time?" Gan Lichu, the commander of the Sixth Army, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"It's very troublesome!" Wei Lihuang nodded and said.
At this time, Jiang Dingwen realized that this time was real and it was very troublesome.
"Then let Hu Bin come here now. Don't come from Mandalay. It's very fast from Ban Mao. It's probably about 3 days!" Jiang Dingwen said immediately.
"Hey, Hu Bin also has a long logistics supply line. From the back, what's the use? Or defense. Defense can't solve this crisis at all, do you know?
What Hu Bin has to do now is not to help us defend, but to kill the Japanese in Yangon as soon as possible, and then kill along the coastline and kill behind the Japanese who attacked us, so that our crisis can be resolved!" Wei Lihuang looked at Jiang Dingwen and said helplessly.
Hu Bin now reinforces from behind, and it is useless. He still participates in defense when he comes here. Japan hopes that you will defend and attack. Now the sky’s air supremacy is in their hands. They can cooperate with the ground at any time and launch a large bombing.
"Can Hu Bin come to save us? I mean, can Hu Bin kill the Japanese in front of us according to our wishes?" Zhang Yaoming, commander of the 52nd Army, asked.
"He will definitely come! He will definitely!" Wei Lihuang nodded firmly and said.
Jiang Dingwen looked at him. Although he didn't say anything, his facial expression was very disdainful. He didn't believe that Hu Bin would beat him according to Wei Lihuang's wishes.
However, Wei Lihuang still needs to explain. The commanders here did not believe it, but Wei Lihuang needed to strengthen their beliefs!
"I know what you are worried about. We belong to different forces. You think Hu Bin will not save him when he dies. You are wrong. If we are completely wiped out, Hu Bin will be in trouble.
Alas, let me analyze it for you. If we are completely wiped out and Hu Bin does not come to rescue, then our commander will definitely blame him. You said, if our commander blames him, how can Hu Bin do his logistics supplies?
Second, even if our commander does not blame him, and we do not protect his flanks, he will face attacks from three directions, including the Japanese from Southeast Asia, the Japanese from India, and the Japanese who landed on the beach. You say, Hu Bin only has hundreds of thousands of troops, how long can he last?
Third, if we are defeated and completely wiped out, our country's Guangxi and Yunnan will be exposed to the guns of the Japanese Southeast Asia, and millions of troops will attack us Guangxi and Yunnan. Do you think, can the troops in our places be defended?
By then, the Japanese will really kill from here, and Hu Bin’s logistics supply base in Yunnan will also be destroyed, and Hu Bin will be cut off from the logistics supply line.
Another thing is that based on my understanding of Hu Bin, he cannot not know these consequences. Putting aside the others, he is loyal to the country and will not refuse to save him. But I know that he must be worried now, how long we can last, as long as we persist, Hu Bin will be more confident in saving us. If we can't hold on for long, Hu Bin can't save him even if he is a god!" Wei Lihuang looked at the commanders and explained to them.
When the commanders heard this, they nodded. It was indeed as Wei Lihuang analyzed that Hu Bin would definitely come to rescue him, it depends on how long they could last.
After hearing Wei Lihuang's analysis, Jiang Dingwen did not dare to go against it. He knew that Wei Lihuang was right, and now he began to worry about this battle.
"Okay, I won't discuss whether this information is true or false. Now we need to arrange a defense line and let our troops persist as much as possible!" Wei Lihuang stood up, took the baton and arrived in front of the map.
"The Japanese want to attack our troops, there are three parts. One is from Thailand. They must attack Mengyang and Naozhi. If the Thai troops come here, we need a large enough strategic space. Therefore, I decided to let the 52nd Army defend against Mengyang and the 6th Army defend against Naozhi.
On the west side are Myanmar troops, probably a lot of them. The 5th Army and the 71st Army defended Nansang and blocked the Myanmar Japanese. To the north, there may be the Japanese from Yangon, or from other directions.
This place is very important. We cannot let the Japanese intercept Leica. Once the Japanese intercepted it, one is that our logistics supply line is broken, and the other is that our retreat line is also broken, that is, our troops are completely surrounded.
This time our defense line is a U-shaped defense line, with more than 300,000 troops defending here. All generals must work together, otherwise we will all be in huge trouble!" Wei Lihuang said as he looked at the commanders.
The commanders nodded. Of course, they knew when it was now and they had to work together!
Then, Wei Lihuang began to tell them how to arrange positions next, and how to ensure that their troops could retreat once their positions were attacked, Wei Lihuang told them all.
More than an hour after the meeting, Wei Lihuang announced his disbandment, and then asked the commanders to return to their troops and began to arrange their own defense lines.
Wei Lihuang came to the office of the command center and wrote a relatively long telegram to Commander Jiang to explain the current situation and also an expectation of whether they can defend themselves in the future.
If he couldn't defend himself, what should he do in China? Wei Lihuang also thought about it and wrote it on the telegram. After writing it, Wei Lihuang asked the staff to send the telegram. He then wrote a telegram to Hu Bin. This time he could only expect Hu Bin to call along the coast as soon as possible, otherwise, their entire army would be wiped out.
"My grandma Xipi, Hu Bin hasn't sent a telegram yet. What exactly does he want to do? Is there any commander in my eyes or the interests of the country?
This time the commander-in-chief of the United States Army came over and indicated that he wanted to see him. He made a statement, right?” Commander Jiang waited for Hu Bin’s telegram in Chongqing for more than an hour, but still didn’t wait for the telegram that Hu Bin confirmed to be back. He was so angry that he sat there and started cursing.
"Commander, Hu Bin said before that Wei Lihuang's troops might be trapped in the siege. Now our staff are deducing, but the Commander is likely to be true!" Li Zongren stood there and said to the Commander.
