Chapter 500: Courting Death (Leader 2)
500 The Fat Fox Fairy, the leader of the 500th League, will be updated on the second
Okamura Yasuji sat there, nodded after hearing the Chief of Staff’s report, and then sighed.
"Your Excellency Commander?" The Chief of Staff immediately asked tentatively when he saw him like this.
"I guess I won't be in China for long. If I leave, I don't know if the next commander will be able to pay attention to Hu Bin. Kill Hu Bin before he is full. If he can't kill him, the 99th Army in the future will become the biggest trouble for our empire!" Okamura Yasuji said.
"Commander, there is no fixed number on the top. As long as we kill Hu Bin, the top will definitely not transfer you away!" said the Chief of Staff, looking at Okamura Yasuji.
"It's difficult to kill Hu Bin. The three Kanto military divisions are very difficult!" Okamura Yasuji said with a shake of his head.
"I have thought about it. After the Kwantung Army came, we would transport supplies to Xiaogan and hoard supplies in Xiaogan. When we were about to attack, we dispatched three Kwantung Army divisions and rushed directly to Hu Bin. However, the speed did not need to be too fast. In Xiaogan, we would put a brigade troops in. Hu Bin would definitely come. With his nature, he would not be moved by looking at so many supplies.
Now I am just worried that if Hu Bin really grabs it or blows it up, then we will have to take on huge responsibilities. Maybe Wuhan can't defend it, so I left two divisions and three months of supplies in Wuhan!" The Chief of Staff told Okamura's plan. He hoped that this would lead Hu Bin to take the bait, and then the Kwantung Army would surround him from behind and kill Hu Bin!
"Yoxi, it's safe to do this, but what if Hu Bin doesn't come?" Okamura Nishi asked as he looked at him.
"If we don't come, we will continue to attack. At the same time, I hope you can mobilize a division troops from Fujian, and start mobilizing now and march here secretly. In this way, no matter whether Hu Bin comes later, they have a division and a brigade troops in Xiaogan. It is not so easy for Hu Bin to capture it. What do you think?" the chief of staff looked at him and asked.
"Okay, I'll mobilize a division from Fujian. This time, no matter what, I will kill Hu Bin. The lowest goal is to drive Hu Bin out of Hubei." Okamura Yasuji heard it and nodded.
"Hey, if this happens, I will be even more sure. As long as I kill Hu Bin or drive Hu Bin out of Hubei, we can prepare to continue the attack to the southwest. If we add the 6 divisions to come later, I think we are sure.
This time, our 10 divisions will attack directly, not disperse the troops. After capturing Hunan, continue to attack Guizhou and take Guizhou in one go, so that our troops can attack Yunnan or Guangxi. At that time, when the base camp sees us taking Guizhou, it will definitely increase our troops." The Chief of Staff said.
Their biggest goal now is to open up important traffic channels and try to avoid the navy from stealing their credit.
"Yoxi, go and do it. I want to consider whether I can kill Hu Bin. Hu Bin is so arrogant!" Okamura Nishi sat there and nodded, saying to the Chief of Staff.
"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard this, nodded, and immediately withdrew from Okamura's office.
Hu Bin, who was on the road, received a telegram from Commander Jiang at this time.
"What? Send troops to Suizhou, are you crazy?" Hu Bin looked at Mo She in surprise and said after seeing the telegram.
"I don't know this, this is how the telegram is written." Mo She looked at Hu Bin and said innocently.
"Forward this telegram to the command, headquarters, our command, and my intention. If they want to occupy Suizhou, I am not optimistic about it. Suizhou Japanese must control it, otherwise, Wuhan will be in danger.
But if we object, I guess Chongqing would think I have any ideas and what to do specifically. Please provide advice from the commander and the commander." Hu Bin thought for a while and said to Mo She. After Mo She was written, Hu Bin signed and he went to hand it over to the telegrapher to send a telegraph.
Hu Bin moved to the door of the carriage, looked at the situation outside the sky, and considered the telegram sent by Commander Jiang just now. Hu Bin knew what they were thinking. When they arrived in Suizhou, they were not here to fight, or to attack, but to prepare for the future.
But they couldn't make this preparation. It was not that they opposed it themselves, but that the Japanese could not make them gain a foothold in Suizhou. Even if the troops from Henan entered Suizhou, the Japanese Kwantung Army might not necessarily come to attack their own troops, but they would first fight Suizhou. Then the troops entering Suizhou may not be able to come out.
"Made!" Hu Bin was a little irritated. He was no longer worried about who was controlling Suizhou now. What he was worried about was that the troops coming from Henan would have casualties, and then he would really blame himself.
"Brother Bin!" Zhang Fan came to Hu Bin and handed Hu Bin a lit cigarette.
"What's wrong? Brother Bin? If they want to take it, they will take it. What's the matter? We don't need that place now!" Mo She said to Hu Bin.
"You know, now occupying Suizhou is asking for death. I don't know that they plan to place several divisions in Suizhou. The troops of several divisions are the same. The Japanese will definitely kill them. Damn, if there are really huge casualties, it is completely unnecessary. Now we are not at the time of a large counterattack, why are you anxious?" Hu Bin said directly to Mo She. The people in the whole car heard the anxiety in Hu Bin's heart!
"Brother Bin, but they want to take it. We can't object, right?" Mo She asked looking at Hu Bin.
"It's okay if anyone opposes it, but we can't oppose it. We oppose it. Commander Jiang thought we had any ideas, hey!" Hu Bin said and took a puff of cigarettes and looked outside, worried!
"Brother Bin, according to your opinion, if Henan troops want to attack Suizhou, will it affect our combat plan? Can we start from here and oppose their entry?" Zhang Fan said to Hu Bin.
"It's useless. We just need to object. All reasons are excuses." Hu Bin shook his head and said.
"Brother Bin, will it affect our combat plan?" Mo She also asked.
"The impact is not big! If the Japanese attacked Suizhou, they were also a division unit. For the remaining troops, they might advance to us. Huh, what's the matter? What's the problem? What's the chaos!" Hu Bin said here and complained.
He never thought that Chongqing was also trying to make a decision on Suizhou. Isn’t this a life? Of course, it’s not Hu Bin’s life, but the lives of those soldiers from Henan troops.
How could Okamura Yanji let Chinese troops control Suizhou? That is a must-fight. Just like himself, he has the opportunity to control Xiaogan, but controlling Xiaogan is simple. Whether he can defend it is a question. The Japanese will definitely attack fiercely, and even say that they can be at all costs.
This is related to their strategy in Wuhan and a series of strategies that followed. Now they have threatened their strategy in western Hubei. They have mobilized the Kwantung Army to kill them. As long as the troops in Suizhou and Henan are passing by, they will definitely be attacked!
"Occupy Suizhou? Hu Bin means disagreement!" The commander looked at the telegram and said to the commander-in-chief.
"I can't understand why I disagree. Anyway, we can't control it. If you want to control it, let's control it for them. We can just manage the western region well now. Wait, I seem to understand something!" When the commander-in-chief said this, he suddenly stopped and began to remember.
"Damn it, are you looking for death? Go to Suizhou?" The commander-in-chief quickly figured it out, stood up and started cursing!
"What's wrong?" the commander looked at the commander-in-chief in confusion and said.
"I tell you, no matter how many troops I sent from Chongqing, Hu Bin said in the telegram that the Japanese must control Suizhou. They will fight as much as they go, wasting the lives of the soldiers! And we can't control them at all now. If we don't attack Wuhan, controlling Suizhou will have no value at all, which is better!" The commander-in-chief said excitedly!
"Oh, yes!" The commander understood when he heard the commander-in-chief say this.
"Why are you going back to Chongqing now? Opposition is not enough. If you oppose it, it will affect Hu Bin's development in Hubei. If you agree, I don't know how many soldiers will sacrifice here this time. Oh, it's a headache!" The commander-in-chief said, touching his head.
"You can't object. If you object, they will definitely think that Hu Bin has ideas about Hubei. After all, Hu Bin's troops are not the troops of the country. Once Chongqing has ideas, it will be dangerous?" The commander sat down and said with a frown.
"Then let them occupy and sacrifice those soldiers for nothing?" the commander-in-chief asked. Judging from his tone, the commander-in-chief was quite opposed to the occupation of Suizhou.
"What do you think you should do?" the commander asked looking at him.
"I don't know what to do. They are seeking death by themselves, and they are forcing Hu Bin to do not know what to do!" The commander-in-chief sat down angrily, picked up the telegram and read it again.
"I think it's better to let Hu Bin decide. Whether it's against or agree, let Hu Bin decide that he is on the front line to see if there is a better reason to convince the Chongqing person. We can't intervene at all. Let Hu Bin and Chongqing person solve it themselves, no matter how it is solved, we all agree with Yan'an!" The commander said!
