Hu Bin learned that Okamura Yasuji had come and knew that this person was not easy to deal with. He would definitely not give him a good life. He was commanding the Battle of Changsha before, and eight divisions and a brigade troops were wiped out. Hu Bin thought it was impossible for him to come out, but unexpectedly, the Japanese base camp did not let him seduce the stomach, but instead asked him to come back.

It is difficult to deal with Okamura Yasuji, Hu Bin knew, but now Hu Bin didn't think of a good idea for the time being, so he could only fight according to his own wishes. Regardless of Okamura Yasuji, he would still do the troops now.

Hu Bin estimated that the Japanese defenders in Shiyan and Xiangyang would retreat, and Okamura Yanji would not let those troops be killed by himself. He knew that the troops of a corps or a brigade would be eaten by him in one place.

Therefore, Hu Bin asked the political commissar Li Nian to immediately send people from the working group to recruit soldiers here. Not many people here fled. As long as they do a good job in recruiting troops, I believe that they can still recruit a lot of troops.

At noon, the Japanese in Jingzhou did start to leave the city under the cover of the Air Force. Xiang Feng could not let them leave like this. It was not difficult for Hu Bin's troops to occupy Jingzhou.

The Japanese made way out of the way. For Hu Bin and others, it was not considered a merit. Killing those Japanese was considered a merit. Therefore, Hu Bin and Xiang Feng wanted to kill those Japanese who wanted to retreat.

In Shiyan and Xiangyang's reconnaissance troops also sent telegrams that the defenders of both cities were retreating, and now they installed a lot of landmines along the way to block the Japanese from retreating.

"Baiga, they have not left the base 10 miles yet. If this continues, when will they reach the next city?" Okamura Yasuji said very dissatisfied after seeing the telegram sent by the troops from three places.

"Hu Bin and his team installed mines along the route we retreated, and our troops had no time to retreat. It was difficult for our engineers to find their mines. The route was too long. If we kept using a mine probe, the speed would probably be slower.

But if we advance directly, our troops will suffer casualties and will still affect our troops' march. Does Hu Bin want to eat our troops? But our reconnaissance planes have not found any traces of troops mobilization along the way. What do he want to do?" The Chief of Staff looked at Okamura Yanji and asked.

"He wants to kill the troops in Jingzhou and then fight the troops in Xiangyang. He wants to eat all of our defenders in those places and reduce our troops. Damn it!" Okamura Yanji cursed.

"What, he.he!" The chief of staff heard it and looked at Okamura Yasuji in surprise.

"He has a big appetite and ordered them not to care about casualties and continue to move forward after being bombed. And the vehicles that were damaged were pushed to the side. Hu Bin must not have many troops there.

At most, 3 days, 3 days later. Hu Bin will go there with his troops, asking them to hurry up and tell the two regiment captains that if they don’t want to be wiped out, they will give up part of the troops and march quickly." Okamura Yasuji said.

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard this and immediately went to order.

"You really want this. I think how you can fight after my troops are assembled. Humph, the organization of a military organization is of use. No soldiers or veterans, just rely on those recruits to fight me. I see how much casualties you can withstand." Okamura Nishi looked at the map and sneered.

This time he came back, just to kill Hu Bin, and then attack Changsha again to open up the transportation line from China to Southeast Asia!

At night, Xiang Feng's troops blocked the Japanese from Jingzhou City. They took a night to kill them, seized a large amount of supplies and a lot of money.

All the money that the Japanese plundered in Jingzhou was in Hu Bin's hands. At this time, Li Nian also came with his troops and began to recruit soldiers from Jingzhou. Because the Japanese in Jingzhou were killed, the people here also knew that, so many people now saw that Hu Bin's troops came and joined the troops.

More than 2,000 soldiers were recruited that afternoon. In the past few days, a total of less than 6,000 soldiers were recruited. Hu Bin has arranged for the troops to start training. However, the training places are all in the mountains. Hu Bin dares not train troops in cities like Jingzhou. If they are detected by the Japanese planes, the bombers will be in trouble as soon as they come.

According to the results of Hu Bin and his discussion, at most one battalion troops were stationed in each place and carried out training. Anyway, there are many villages and dense forests in the western part of Hubei, and each resident is less than 5 miles apart. According to the previous allocation, Hu Bin's division must be stationed in Jingzhou, and there are also troops of the 106th Division with him. However, now the 106th Division has more than 1,000 cadres, and 500 new recruits are assigned to train them.

According to Hu Bin's deployment, the 99th Division and the 106th Division were stationed in Jingzhou, and the 100th Division, Li Tianxing's troops, were stationed in Linxiang and guarded the rear route. Li Qinwei's 101st Division and Zheng Xin's 105th Division were stationed in Jingmen, Wang Changhe's 102nd Division and Wang Zhixian's 104th Division were stationed in Xiangyang, while Li Dalong's 103rd Division was stationed in Shiyan and guarded the rear route.

Once the front is attacked by the Japanese, they can also provide reinforcements, and at the same time, they must ensure the smooth flow of the rear. Hu Bin will not lead his troops to enter Shaanxi from here unless it is absolutely necessary.

In the next few days, Hu Bin's troops continued to attack the retreating troops in Jingmen, Xiangyang and Shiyan. The troops of Jingmen retreated quickly. They retreated to the Anlu area in two days. However, their retreat did not bring any benefits. The entire regiment had more than half of the casualties and almost all the supplies were lost, which made Hu Bin's troops free of charge.

None of the Japanese troops in Shiyan and Xiangyang left, and were all Baoyuan by Xiang Feng and his troops.

After seeing this result, Okamura Yasuji was quite helpless, but this was also the best he could do. The troops of four corps were equivalent to the infantry corps of a division, and most of them were left in western Hubei by Hu Bin.

At this time, Okamura Yasuji began to set up defense lines. He knew that Hu Bin's appetite could not be these places. He would definitely attack eastward. According to Okamura Yasuji's idea, he originally did not want the cities in central Hubei to let Hu Bin occupy it. In this way, Hu Bin's troops would be dispersed. When his troops came over, Hu Bin's troops would be in trouble.

But the base camp did not agree, and the General Staff also had different opinions. They believed that if so many places were given up, the range of troops would be very large when they wanted to encircle them in the future, which just happened to hit Hu Bin's thoughts.

He can let his troops defeat his troops one by one, so that it may bring danger to the attacking troops and the logistics transportation troops. Hu Bin likes to attack the logistics troops, and they all know this.

After hearing their opinions, Okamura Yasuji considered it and began to order three divisions to set up defense lines along Suizhou, Xiaogan and Xianning areas, preventing Hu Bin's troops from continuing to advance eastward.

"Brother Bin, the headquarters telegram informed the changes in the troops in Hubei." Mo She came over with a telegram and said.

"Oh, let me see!" Hu Bin heard it and took the telegram.

I saw that the commander-in-chief integrated a piece of information about Hubei and sent it over. The first one was that Okamura Yasuji was already laying out the defense line, and the above also mentioned the place where they laid out the defense line.

The second is that there are three divisions of Kwantung Army entering the pass. According to the headquarters' speculation, these three divisions either went to Shandong, because in order to expand the scope of his base, Commander Chen was also attacking the devils in Shandong, and they were fighting very well. The Japanese defenders in Shandong now cannot resist Commander Chen's attack at all.

Another direction is Hu Bin's side. He may join the troops here and take advantage of Hu Bin's lack of a foothold here and is a newly formed troops to kill Hu Bin in one fell swoop. It is even said that it is very likely that both directions will be taken into account.

"Has the Kwantung Army come out?" Hu Bin looked at the telegram, a little surprised.

He did not expect that Japan would actually call the Kwantung Army for combat. The Japanese were in the Kwantung Army to prevent the Soviet Union. They arranged more than 1 million troops in the Northeast of China and the Soviet Far East, and now they have even transferred three divisions to fight.

"Kanto Army, from the northeast?" Li Nian also looked at Hu Bin in surprise when he heard this.

"Well, I guess the three divisions are coming for us! At most one division will go to Shandong, and they may not even go!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

Now Hu Bin’s military headquarters is located in a village in Jingzhou. In the past half month, Hu Bin has finally raised 80,000 troops, but it is still far from enough. However, the people from the working group are still recruiting.

At the same time, various troops have carried out gun training and tactical action training. Physical training is the trenches dug. Hu Bin has selected several places where the Japanese must pass to attack and dug many trenches to use this for physical training.

"I heard that the Kwantung Army has very strong combat power and good equipment." Li Nian said to Hu Bin.

"He is wearing iron armored clothes. Everyone comes with a cannon. I will sink him into the river! Humph, amazing, I am fighting a powerful army. Where has Xiang Feng brought the special forces regiment to now?" Hu Bin asked.

"Report, when we arrived in the Tianmen area, there were many Japanese garrisons in the town there, all of which were as large as one squadron!" Mo She stood up and reported to Hu Bin.

"Tell him, kill the Japanese in the town quickly and attack Xiaogan directly. Don't fight hard. Just go to grind them every night and grind them to death. By the way, be careful not to let the Japanese trash their way. Pay attention to the Japanese who came down from Suizhou in the north!" Hu Bin said to Mo She, who nodded. (To be continued.)
