Hu Bin and his team finished the meeting very late. The general idea of ​​the work of the troops was to be found. Now they are going to recruit soldiers and train. In the past two days, a total of 1,200 soldiers have been recruited, and training will also be carried out from tomorrow. All the new recruits were sent to Linxiang and Hu Bin's guards began training.

At this time, in Jingzhou, the corps commander stationed in Jingzhou could not sleep until night, because during this period, his corps had more than 1,000 casualties. He knew that it was all done by Hu Bin's troops.

Now the troops have been compressed in a radius of less than 10 miles inside and outside Jingzhou City. He didn't know the situation outside at all, and his troops did not dare to go out.

But even so, his troops defending outside Jingzhou City suffered casualties every night because Hu Bin's troops would attack their troops at night and sometimes they would rush into their trenches to fight!

"Dadada!" At this time, gunshots came from outside. When the captain heard this, he knew that it was not his own shooting, but Hu Bin's troops who were shooting.

"Baga, I'm going to fight with them." After hearing the gunshot, the regiment captain Tengaka Ichiro shouted in anger.

"Captain, don't be impulsive. We don't know how many Hu Bin's troops are outside now. If we attack rashly, we will be fooled by them!" The chief of staff next to him heard this and quickly persuaded him.

The command came to order them to hold on for a month. In a month, troops from Wuhan would come to reinforce, but the Japanese in Jingzhou were unsure and didn't know whether they could hold on for a month.

Now there are more than 200 casualties every night, and sometimes more than 500 people. According to this consumption, they can't hold on for that long. So far, there are only 2,500 people left in the entire wing!

"Baga, when will we go? The headquarters will not let us retreat. Second, we will not let us take the initiative to attack. We are the imperial troops, how can we be suppressed and beaten by Chinese troops? When will we go like this?" Tengzhong Ichiro shouted loudly!

"Boom, boom, boom!" An explosion sounded outside the city.

He knew that the troops outside were probably suffering a lot of casualties, and he did not dare to mobilize all of them into the city. Because according to intelligence, Hu Bin's troops had artillery soldiers. If they were all in the city, once Hu Bin fired artillery into the city, the entire army would suffer great casualties.

Now outside the city, they still have a lot of fortifications. Hu Bin's troops don't know how they approached, and they can successfully attack each time!

At this time, outside the city, Xiang Feng and 1,000 special forces regiments began to attack the Japanese at the South Gate. There were about 500 Japanese stationed here, and Xiang Feng did not intend to kill them one night. Now they were going to train the new soldiers. Xiang Feng wanted to attack the Japanese and train the new soldiers!

"Report. The Japanese troops have established a defense line!" A communications soldier came over and said to Xiang Feng.

"Retreat, stop fighting, fight in another direction later." Xiang Feng said to the correspondent soldier.

"Yes!" The communication soldiers heard this and immediately fired a signal flare. The attacking soldiers in front saw it. They began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the short-term battle just now had more than 100 casualties on the Japanese!

"Baga!" After hearing the report from the soldiers below, the captain stationed at the south gate gritted his teeth and cursed. In less than half an hour of fighting, their casualties exceeded 100, of which more than 70 died.

"This is not a solution. We should tell the brigade leader that we must send reinforcements to surround the enemies. They are too arrogant and do not take us seriously at all. We come and go freely on our positions!" A squadron leader shouted in dissatisfaction. They are now blaming the brigade leader for not asking for assistance from the superiors!

"The command has come to the command, and no reinforcements are coming at this point! We must hold on for a month." The captain shouted.

"Nani, do they want to come and collect our bodies for a month?" Another squadron leader shouted in dissatisfaction when he heard this.

The captain glanced at him and didn't say anything. He knew that his soldiers had a lot of opinions. If they were not appeased properly, something might happen. Originally, their troops controlled the entire Jingzhou, but now they can only hide in Jingzhou City and cannot go anywhere.

At around 2 o'clock in the evening, Xiang Feng's troops attacked the East Gate again. They fought for about half an hour. The East Gate's blocking defense was slower, and the casualties were even greater, with more than 300 casualties.

After receiving the report, Tengzhong Ichiro sat there for a long time without moving. In one night, he lost the combat effectiveness of more than 500 soldiers. Now he can fight less than 2,000 people. If this continues, they may not even have 1,000 people in two days.

"Send a telegram to the Wuhan Command, I request to go out of the city to fight. If I continue to fight like this, my troops will be very depressed. In a few days, my troops may not even have the power to fight. I hope the headquarters can consider our opinions, or continue to come to our reinforcements. Otherwise, we will not be able to defend Jingzhou at all. Please consider it carefully." Tengzhong Ichiro said.

After the telegram was sent, Tengzhong Ichiro continued to sit there in a daze. Now they dare not sleep at night. They all sleep during the day. During the day, Hu Bin's troops would not come to attack them, so they could sleep steadily!

Tengzhong Ichiro waited until after 8 o'clock in the morning, and at this time, the telegram from the Wuhan Command also came. After a morning discussion, they agreed that a corps would come here to reinforce during the day, and it was expected to arrive here until tomorrow evening.

The telegram ordered Tengzhong Ichiro not to launch an attack without authorization. In the eyes of the senior staff of the Wuhan Command, Tengzhong Ichiro's corps would be eaten by Hu Bin's troops as long as they left Jingzhou, because the troops of several of their divisions had been eaten by Hu Bin before.

Now the unit of a corps is not enough to see in front of Hu Bin, so there is no way. They can only draw a corps from Wuhan to reinforce Tengzhong Ichiro.

In Wuhan, they are also suffering. Now the chief of staff of the Front Army is in charge of daily work. After Okamura Yasuji returned to the base camp, the new commander here has not been sent. However, Okamura Yasuji did not come back. Now they don’t know, so they can only wait for the news above!

"Can't wait any longer, send a telegram to the base camp. We now need the commander to come and take charge of the overall situation. Hu Bin's troops have begun to invade our Hubei side. We need to re-arrange and kill Hu Bin's troops.

If we continue to drag on, after Hu Bin's troops have gained a foothold in Hubei, we will pay a greater price to kill him." The chief of staff thought for a while and said to the staff officer beside him.

"Hey, but now there is no news from the base camp. Who is the new commander, are we waiting, and we can't create this illusion for the base camp, as if we insist on coming to Gangcun. Will this cause trouble for our commander?" The staff officer heard it and said to the chief of staff.

"We can't control so much now. The 108th Division and the 14th Division were not our battle sequences, but now they are transferred here to help defend Wuhan. They don't go to other places at all, and we can't mobilize them. We must have a new commander coming!" said the chief of staff.

"Hi!" The staff officer heard it and nodded.

"Our commander hopes to continue fighting in China. He said that Hu Bin poses a great threat to the empire and cannot let Hu Bin grow up. He must kill him as quickly as possible.

Moreover, we also need to open a channel to Southeast Asia here. Now the navy has been saying that we will attack Southeast Asia, saying that our army is not good at all, but as long as we open the channel here, then Southeast Asia does not need their navy to go ashore. They go wherever they want to go, and the land achievements are all from our army." The Chief of Staff continued to speak.

"Hi, I also heard about this news. The Empire intends to open up a front in Southeast Asia. It seems that the navy wants to take the lead, but our army will not agree." The staff officer said.

"Well, so we need the commander to come back. As long as this line of transportation is opened, our empire's army will be able to dominate the entire Asian continent." The Chief of Staff nodded and said.

"Hey, I'll send a telegram, and I hope the commander can come back." The consultant nodded and said.

"It will definitely!" said the Chief of Staff firmly.

At this time, Okamura Yasuji in Japan was released after reporting to the Emperor, the Cabinet, and the Army Command. He was not in charge of him, but he was asked to wait for news at home. Now he has been back to Japan for half a month. I don’t know what the situation is like in China.

Now he is very worried and anxious, hoping to go back soon. He always feels that Hu Bin is in the south, which is a very big obstacle for them to fight from China to Southeast Asia.

He wanted to go over and kill Hu Bin as soon as possible, and then organize the second Changsha battle. After the battle, Changsha attacked Guizhou and Guangxi, so that they could open up the transportation line and attack Southeast Asia directly from land.

However, there is no news coming from the base camp and the Army Command. Now he is under house arrest and there is no news.

"Report, a phone call from the base camp, I want you to report from the base camp!" At this time, a secretary of Okamura Yasuji came to report.

"Yoxi, there is finally news." Okamura Yasuji stood up with a smile when he heard this. (To be continued.)
