After seeing Hu Bin's telegram, Li Tianxing was quite excited. He has been waiting for Hu Bin's telegram these days. Because Hu Bin had told him that the troops that he wanted him to prepare for a counterattack, he had assembled all the reserve troops during this period.

He knew that Hu Bin must have a backup plan. Now Hu Bin's troops are outside. He knows Hu Bin and knows that Hu Bin cannot hold tens of thousands of troops to stay in Shaanxi. Seeing that there is a war here, so after seeing Hu Bin's telegram, Li Tianxing immediately ordered the troops to enter the front line position and told the front line commander to prepare for a counterattack!

"Chief of Staff, is it a bit of a risk to transfer troops to the front line now? If the Japanese bombers come to bomb again tomorrow, our soldiers in the position will not have air raid shelters for them to hide!" A senior staff officer heard Li Tianxing's order and immediately looked at Hu Bin hesitantly and said.

"Just transfer it over, everything else is not something you think about. I know what you are worried about, but now you can execute the order!" Li Tianxing looked at them and said.

"Yes, but we still want to know what's going on today. How did the Japanese troops retreat and retreat? There was no sign that they might do this. What happened?" Another senior staff officer asked.

"Wait, you will know when the time comes. Don't ask anything now!" Li Tianxing said with a smile.

At this time, after receiving the telegram from Li Tianxing, the reserve troops began to head to their respective fronts.

"Counterattack?"

"Counterattack?" The division commanders on the front line were quite surprised when they saw such a telegram. There were no conditions for counterattack at all. The Japanese are now defending on the spot. And according to their reconnaissance, the Japanese have built simple fortifications there, and they have occupied a lot of high ground. If they really want to counterattack, there will be great casualties at that time!

"It makes no sense. Today's battle made me confused!" Wang Zhixian sat there with the telegram and said in great confusion.

"Yes, you said the Japanese retreated as soon as they said they wanted to retreat. We also said that we would counterattack, how should we counterattack? The Japanese planes in the sky and cannons on the ground, how should we counterattack? By the way, there are tanks. If we hadn't equipped individual anti-tank guns, the Japanese tanks rushed over, and we would have no way to fight! Now, how many troops will we have to suffer?" A brigade commander next to him looked at Wang Zhixian and started talking.

"No, think about it, why did the Japanese retreat? There must be something we don't know, but the command center knows it! I feel that although the command center cannot understand such orders, it is definitely sure!" Another brigade commander said.

"You are right. We don't know what we have. Order the troops. Now have a good rest. Once the counterattack order is over, there will probably be no time to rest. So are you? Arrange the on-duty staff and go to rest. If you order it, we will come!" Wang Zhixian put down the telegram and said to them.

"Yes!" The two brigades nodded and went out.

After they left, Wang Zhixian sat there and muttered in his heart: "Is it Xiaobin who was acting? Wasn't he in Shaanxi? Are he back? If he came back, this battle would be easy!"

On Yan'an, they also received a notice from the front line that the Japanese troops retreated and stopped attacking, but adopted a defensive policy!

"The Japanese suddenly changed the way of combat, from offense to defense, which means that they have budgeted that Hu Bin will take action, but we don't know where Hu Bin is now!" The commander-in-chief stood in front of the map of Hubei and said, looking at the map.

"The four offensive lines are all in a defensive situation, which is a bit abnormal. What do you think they are afraid of? There are at least 30,000 Japanese soldiers on each line now, and there are two divisions behind them that have not moved. If there are any changes in the front, the two divisions behind them can also act!" The commander also looked at the map and said in confusion.

Now they can't contact Hu Bin at all, but they can contact Li Dalong, but Li Dalong said nothing. He said that Hu Bin's actions must be kept confidential, and in addition, it is to let the commander and the command believe Hu Bin!

"Hu Bin must have taken action, probably back to his original position. Now the Japanese are worried that Hu Bin may launch an attack on one of their attacking troops, so they took a defensive posture.

This kid may want to start a counterattack. If he really eats up several of his divisions, the Japanese troops will really retreat. It is impossible not to retreat. If Hu Bin gathers the attack troops, the Japanese will not be able to stop them!" The commander-in-chief stood there and nodded.

"Well, it's good to go back. We don't have to worry about the situation in Hubei. I really didn't expect that the 99th Army troops could hold on for so many days without Hubei, and at the same time, they gave so much damage to the Japanese. It's really good, which means that Hu Bin can command troops there! The trained troops are also good!" The commander nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Well, Hu Bin still has the ability to command troops, but Li Tianxing and the others in the command center are also well commanded. After this battle, many low-level cadres will emerge. Those cadres have combat experience and will grow faster. We must let Hu Bin establish the Anti-Japanese University Branch in Hubei as soon as possible. Before, Hu Bin could not manage the establishment of a branch in the arsenal. Now it is time!" said the commander-in-chief.

"Maybe it's not OK. It's not OK to have Hu Bin establish it!" The commander thought for a while and spoke.

"Ah, no, why can't it be?" The commander-in-chief looked at him in surprise when he heard the commander's words.

"Hu Bin must come back. If he doesn't come back, I guess that Ankang, Shangluo, and that passage he occupied now will not be able to be kept. Jiang Tong will definitely have to go back. After Hu Bin fought the devils in Hubei, Commander Jiang will definitely start liquidation. This is inevitable. After all, Hu Bin robbed their territory. These territory were not controlled by the devils, but by them, so they will let us hand it over.

However, if we announce to the public that we will deal with Hu Bin, then they will not keep asking for it. The process of dealing with Hu Bin cannot be less than half a year, otherwise, it will be troublesome!" The commander said worriedly with a cigarette in his arms.

Whether Hu Bin is dealt with in Chongqing or not, Yan'an must deal with. If he doesn't handle it, he cannot give the people an explanation. Practice is merit, and fault is a fault, and it cannot be confused.

"Yes, when will the Anti-Japanese University Branch be established?" the commander-in-chief asked as he looked at the commander.

"It's better to establish it now and let Hu Bin be the principal. However, let Li Nian leave the specific preparations to Li Nian. Now Hu Bin and Li Nian have a conflict. I'll see if I'll help them repair it!" The commander continued to say with concern.

This incident was caused by him. If he did not send a telegram to Li Nian, Li Nian would not dare to stop Hu Bin's troops. Now there is a problem between the military and political parties. If it is not handled properly, it will still have a great impact on Hubei.

"You have to do this well. According to what I know, the army has a lot of opinions about Li Nian, especially those soldiers below the regiment level. They think that Li Nian doesn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously at all, and that is, they will no longer help Li Nian with supplies to come in the future. This is a big problem!" The commander-in-chief heard it and nodded and said.

"What? There is such a thing?" The commander heard it and looked at the commander-in-chief in surprise.

"What do you think Hu Bin is going to avenge the soldiers, but the political commissar stops him. What do you think of the soldiers? And he also called Hu Bin's attacking troops. The soldiers can have no objection. This time, the soldiers are all soldiers from ordinary troops. The entire 99th Army, any unit may be escorted. If you die, it will be useless. Who would like to tell me?" the commander-in-chief looked at the commander and said.

"That's really troublesome!" The commander stood up and walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.

"I see, listen to what Hu Bin means. If Hu Bin says he wants to transfer him, you will transfer him. If the military and political affairs are not in harmony, how can we fight in the future? Besides, if Li Nian does not support Hu Bin, he will have no prestige in the 99th Army in the future! This incident has a great impact on Li Nian!" The commander-in-chief continued.

"No, transferring Li Nian like this will be a big blow to Li Nian. And this is wrong with me. Let me talk to Hu Bin. However, what you said is right. You have to listen to Hu Bin's meaning. If Hu Bin really doesn't want Li Nian, then he can only transfer it away. Alas, this bastard, I will give me some problems! Come back and deal with him well to let him know how powerful I am." The commander said with his hands behind his back.

However, on the front line, Hu Bin and the others had finished their meal at this time. Now they are just waiting for it to get dark. When it gets dark, Hu Bin will start to act.

"Order the special forces and the armored brigade to prepare and set off on time at 6:30! Order the artillery and infantry units to set off on time at 6:50!" Hu Bin said to Mo She.

"Order our infantry troops to set off on time at 6:50! No delays are allowed!" Wei Lihuang also said to the staff officer next to him.

"Yes!" They all stood up and were about to fight.

"Brother, if you succeed this time, it will be of great significance to our country. It is the first time to recover a big city!" Wei Lihuang said to Hu Bin.

"Brother, I have a suggestion. As soon as the battle on our front line starts, you will send a clear telegram and say that the battle to recover Wuhan will begin! I won't say much about the others." Hu Bin smiled and looked at Wei Lihuang and suggested. (~^~)
