Chapter 787 Start Countermeasures (20 Updates, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
Hu Bin was thinking about his tactics, but Chief of Staff Li Dalong ran over and told Hu Bin that Wei Lihuang's troops could last for up to 45 days. On the 30th day, the troops could have a maximum of 100,000 left, and the remaining more than 200,000 will be sacrificed.
Hu Bin was stunned when he heard him say this, then stood up and looked at Li Dalong.
"Commander, we must speed up the advancement and take the shortest time to kill the Japanese in Yangon. In addition, we must completely push them over here, and the casualties are more than 150,000!" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and continued to speak.
"How many casualties did Wei Lihuang's troops die in 20 days?" Hu Bin asked suddenly.
"170,000!" Li Dalong said.
"Why are there such great casualties?" Hu Bin asked immediately, 200,000 casualties in 30 days, 170,000 casualties in 20 days, and 170,000 casualties in 20 days. This data made Hu Bin feel unbelievable.
"In the battle ahead, the Japanese will dispatch a large number of bombers and fighters. At that time, Wei Lihuang's troops will not have enough time to repair fortifications, and the casualties will definitely be huge.
According to our deduction, Wei Lihuang's troops would suffer more than 100,000 casualties in the previous week. This is because the Japanese ground troops are not attacking effectively. If the Japanese ground troops launch a fierce attack, I think his troops will not last long!" Li Dalong opened the report in his hand and said to Hu Bin.
"Tamad, the Japanese Air Force!" Hu Bin heard it, cursed, then lit a cigarette, leaned against the corner of the table, and thought about it carefully.
Seeing him like this, Li Dalong didn't want to disturb him, so he went out. Hu Bin was considering whether he should dispatch the Air Force to help Wei Lihuang's troops and blow up the Japanese at Langkoshu's airport!
"Blow him, my bomber can take off at night. As long as the airport is blown up at night, the Japanese bomber will not be able to go to the front line to bomb. Moreover, my bomber will be able to bomb the Japanese attacking troops on the ground, that's it!" Hu Bin said gritting his teeth.
The reason why Hu Bin did not adopt this plan before was because he also needed a large number of bombers. In the front, the Japanese built a defense line for several months. There was no way to fight without bombers. And the Japanese would definitely have fighters coming to intercept from Yangon.
Hu Bin had to consider the damage to his side. Now Hu Bin doesn't know whether his fighter plane is the opponent of the Japanese Zero fighter plane. If it is not an opponent, he will definitely be forced to bomb at that time. In this way, the bomber will suffer a lot!
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" Hu Bin shouted loudly. Li Dalong had just arrived at the staff hall outside. When he heard Hu Bin's shouting, he ran over immediately.
"Commander, what's the matter?" Li Dalong came in and asked.
"Close the door, I have something to discuss with you." Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
When Li Dalong heard this, he immediately closed the door, then sat opposite Hu Bin and looked at Hu Bin.
"You said, how about we bombard them after the Japanese plane entered Langko Airport? We can completely bomb them!" Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
"Send our bomber?" Hu Bin asked at Li Dalong.
"Yeah!" Hu Bin nodded.
"We need to find a good opportunity. Now the Japanese know that we can bomb at night. I guess they must have predicted our bombing behavior and probably have made plans!" Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.
"What countermeasures can he take?" Hu Bin asked at Li Dalong.
"At present, there is no such thing. However, you can try it. Bombing an airport only requires a bomber brigade. We can send a bomber brigade and a fighter brigade troops to Wei Lihuang.
But I expect that the Japanese planes will enter during the day and then launch bombing. There is a problem here. If they enter Longco Airport during the day, they will be able to bomb our attack airport, and fighter planes will be needed to intercept it.
There are not many fighter jets on Wei Lihuang now. The Japanese dispatched bombers to bomb Wei Lihuang's front line today. Therefore, they do not have the ability to protect the safety of the airport. If we want to use Menggong's airport, we need to dispatch fighter jet troops to go ahead in advance, and at least block them for one day!
Another solution is that we will blow up Langco Airport before the Japanese settle in Langco Airport. In this way, many Japanese bombers can still bomb from the airport behind to the front line of Wei Lihuang's troops. In fact, it is useless for us to do this!" Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin understood what he said. It was that he bombed Langko Airport, which had no effect on the Japanese continuing to bomb Wei Lihuang's front line. Langko Airport was gone, and the Japanese bombers took off at the airport behind, and could still bomb Wei Lihuang's troops' front line!
"The airport behind the Japanese is Chiang Mai Airport, right?" Hu Bin asked while standing there.
"Yes, Chiang Mai Airport, we have just arrived at the front line of Wei Lihuang's troops!" Li Dalong nodded and said.
"How long can the Japanese fighter plane stay above the Wei Lihuang front line?" Hu Bin thought for a moment and asked.
"I don't know about this. We didn't have such data before, but I think Wei Lihuang knows it!" Li Dalong shook his head and said.
They had never stopped such news before, but now when Hu Bin said this, he certainly had no way to answer.
"Ask Wei Lihuang and ask them to hand over all the Japanese intelligence collected by the Air Force to us and bring back our transport aircraft brigade!" Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
"Okay, I'll go now. Do you want them to tell us in advance how long the Japanese fighter jets can stay on his front line?" Li Dalong asked Hu Bin.
"Yes!" Hu Bin nodded, he must have wanted this.
Soon Li Dalong went out, while Hu Bin began to think about how to stop the bombing of the Japanese Air Force. The Japanese Air Force must have a large number of aircraft, which is more than its own.
Even if there are two aircraft from the aviation divisions here to support tomorrow morning, the number of aircraft on the Japanese side is far from enough. Hu Bin can't afford to fight, but now he can't fight.
"Mad, Okamura Yasuji, you are so cruel. You can discover such a situation!" Hu Bin touched his head and started cursing.
Now we are forcing Hu Bin to make a decision, either sacrifice the Air Force to gain more time and less casualties for Wei Lihuang's troops. At the same time, we have to sacrifice a large number of air force troops in exchange for rapid attacks from ground troops, or regardless of Wei Lihuang's troops, they will persevere until 45 days. The Air Force troops are all consumed on Nabido's side to cover their troops to attack.
"Come on, send a telegram to the Air Force and ask their commander and deputy commander to come to see me, hurry!" Hu Bin shouted to the outside.
"Yes!" A staff officer outside heard it, responded, and immediately called the Air Force's telegram.
Now Hu Bin wants to know whether the Air Force is sure to compete with the Japanese Zero Fighter for air supremacy.
More than ten minutes later, Li Dalong came over and took a telegram.
"Wei Lihuang sent a telegram to us. The Japanese fighters and bombers usually operated for about 20 minutes on the front line of Wei Lihuang, and it would not exceed 25 minutes!" Li Dalong handed the telegram to Hu Bin and asked Hu Bin to see.
Hu Bin received it, glanced at it, put the telegram on his desk, and said to Li Dalong: "I am going to mobilize an aviation division's troops to Wei Lihuang to support them in battle.
We still have three aviation division troops here, which is enough. Now I am just worried about how many days a aviation division unit can last? If it doesn’t last long, then it will be meaningless to send it over." Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
"Well, the only way to deal with the Air Force is to use our Air Force, but our Air Force is too young and it is still unknown whether it can take on a big task. However, I think it is worth a bet. Whether it can be won or not, it will be revealed sooner or later.
The aircraft we developed are not protected by our army. We hope they can protect our army." Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.
"Well, you are right. We use them to fight, not to watch it!" Hu Bin nodded and said when he heard him say this.
He knew that he regarded the Air Force as a treasure, or that he regarded the Air Force pilots as a treasure, and did not want them to suffer great losses. However, as a soldier, no one could sacrifice in the war era. As long as he picked up a gun, he might have to sacrifice on the battlefield.
"Commander, I have a suggestion that tomorrow, we will dispatch a bomber brigade and a fighter brigade to cover them to bomb Nabido. I know that our fighter planes are about to fly to Nabido to fight, and there is no fuel at all, but it is not possible to fight.
The bomber flies over and fly, and if it can be bombed, it will be bombed, and if it cannot be bombed, it will come back. It is mainly to see if our fighter brigade can defeat the Japanese Zero fighter jets!" Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.
"No, this doesn't work. Air combat is not as simple as you think. Once you are bitten by the Japanese, it is not that easy to get rid of it. If the fuel is insufficient, our plane will be able to get rid of it and there is no way to land!" Hu Bin shook his head and said immediately after hearing what he said.
"That's when the Mandalay Airport is repaired?" Li Dalong asked when he saw him objecting.
Hu Bin nodded, and now he can only wait for the Mandalay Airport to be repaired. If the Mandalay Airport is not repaired, Hu Bin cannot send his own fighter jets to Naipido for combat.
