Hu Bin's staff officer said that Wei Lihuang had sent a telegram, saying that the Japanese 25th Army troops were still attacking his defense line.↖

When Hu Bin heard this, he felt that Fengwen at the foot of the mountain was too bold. His troops had already arrived in Banmao and could penetrate him at any time to block Fengwen's retreat.

Hu Bin took Wei Lihuang's telegram and looked carefully, knowing that his current situation was quite dangerous. Japan not only dispatched ground troops, but also tank troops and bombers, and they were all attacking Wei Lihuang's troops.

"You want to fight? Okay, fight!" Hu Bin said and stood up, went outside, and then arrived in front of the map. Li Dalong saw Hu Bin coming out and walked over.

"What's wrong? I decided to fight the 25th Army?" Li Dalong had read the telegram. After seeing the telegram, he didn't know what to decide, so he asked the staff officer to come to find Hu Bin.

"I want it, if you don't fight Yamashita Tomoto, he doesn't know how painful it hurts. Now he's so crazy that he's out of nowhere and thinks he can enter China. I guess Okamura Yasuji sent him a telegram. He knows that I don't play according to the rules in the war. Now he bullies us Chinese people like this. If I don't fight, I'm worthy of our Chinese troops?" Hu Bin nodded and continued to say at the map.

"The Japanese command is in Lashio. If we want to go to Lashio, we have to get close to Mandalay. The large army is unsafe and can only dispatch the special forces troops to fight and retreat quickly. Only in this way can we give him a warning, let him calm down and print the time honestly!" Li Dalong said as he looked at Hu Bin and suggested.

"Well, the special forces can indeed pass, and can pass at any time, but I don't want to fight just like this. The special forces are suitable for small troops to fight, while the large troops cannot fight. They need our ordinary troops to cover to achieve the greatest combat effect. If they go alone, the casualties of the troops are probably very large.

Haven't our special forces explored the path now? Let the special forces go first and put the road away. I'm going to use a division's troops to play jungle war with the Japanese. Isn't the Malay Tiger good at fighting jungle wars? Then let's play in the jungle with them.

The order was to mobilize Wang Changhe of the 102nd Division and Xu Zhuoyue of the 232nd Division to prepare for Xibu to block the rear of Lashio, but it was not really blocking their retreat. Instead, it was blocking their logistics supply line and the security of the entire rear. The troops should not dig fortifications there and retreat while fighting.

When fighting at night, the special forces regiments provide cover and assist in the attack, killing the division and hospital in Xibu that resigned. Don’t let anyone go. I just want to see if the division lost and most of the wounded soldiers were still there. I think he dares to fight at Fengwen at the foot of the mountain?" Hu Bin said looking at the map.

"Okay, but the special forces regiments will not march until the second midnight. Now they are still in the place where they fought last night. They need to rest during the day! They can only get back by car at night.

By the way, Xiang Feng just sent a telegram, and this time he seized more than 50,000 weapons of various types, many of them from the UK. There are also 70 to 80 million yuan of money from us, as well as the logistics supplies of the Japanese devils, especially oil materials.

The 56th Brigade is a relatively good mechanized unit. The oil we seized from them this time is probably able to fight several battles." Li Dalong said happily to Hu Bin.

"That's good. I'm also worried that if we need to attack, what should I do if the oil is not enough? The oil must be preserved. Now the political commissar has not come here and is still replenishing goods in the domestic base. When the replenishment is done, he will come over. Please keep the oil tight and you can't use it indiscriminately!" Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.

"I know!" Li Dalong nodded.

Soon, Wang Changhe received a telegram to mobilize troops. At the same time, the special forces regiment contacted the staff there and went to Wang Changhe's command center.

After a while, Xu Zhuoyue, the commander of the 232nd Division, also arrived at his command center. He happened to see Wang Changhe and the staff member discussing the route of the march and the supplies they need to carry. The car could not pass by, so he could only rely on two legs, and carrying the supplies could only rely on horsepower.

Fortunately, before Hu Bin came here, Chongqing allocated 3,000 horses to Hu Bin. Ammunition and supplies depended on those horses. Moreover, the soldiers also had to carry a lot of supplies when marching. Each person had to carry at least 30 kilograms of weight. In addition to their own clothes, raincoats, shoes and socks, each soldier also had 300 rounds of bullets, 10 meters or white flour, and their weapons. This time, the artillery troops were not dispatched, and each division had its own rocket launcher troops, and the rockets had to be carried by horses.

"Old Wang, you are the commander this time?" Xu Zhuoyue said to Wang Changhe.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhan!" Wang Changhe laughed when he heard this.

"You're okay, this is still a small battle. Is it a small battle to fight the Japanese army? " Xu Zhuoyue glanced at Wang Changhe with contempt.

"We can't fight hard, we can only sneak attack and kill important troops of the Japanese. If the Japanese dare to chase them, Commander Wei will also dispatch troops. If we really kill the Japanese in Xibu, hehe, a division plus wounded people, I guess there will be more than 20,000 people.

Then, there are only two and a half division troops left at Fengwen at the foot of the mountain. I guess he dare not come to round us up. If he dares to come, I will keep it and let him go without returning. Lao Xu, you have to fight hard this time. Your troops may not be good at guerrilla tactics!" Wang Changhe said to him with a smile.

"You look down on people, right? I used to fight guerrilla warfare in Shanxi and Shandong. Now you tell me that I can't fight guerrilla warfare!" Xu Zhuoyue was displeased when he heard this. Isn't this looking down on people?

"Hehe, it's really different. Think about it, at that time, when you fought guerrillas, how many troops were usually dispatched, up to 1,000 people, right? I guess there wasn't, just a few hundred people. Now we are guerrilla troops of two divisions.

I tell you Lao Xu, you remember it. I said I want to get out of the battle, no matter how difficult it is, I have to get out of the battle. No matter whether you are a regiment or a division, you have to get out of the battle. If you say you are separated, you have to get out of the battle. You can't let the Japanese stick together. Once they are stuck, the entire division's troops will be lost. Have you ever fought?" Wang Changhe looked at Xu Zhuoyue and said.

"There are also fighting like this. A division's troops are fighting. How do you do it when you say you want to leave?" Xu Zhuoyue heard this and found that he had never commanded the troops like this, so he immediately asked.

"When you attack, you must think that we must retreat before dawn. So when choosing the offensive target, you must make the order. Don't see that this target is important, you must eat it first. But after you finish the battle, you will find that the surrounding troops have surrounded and you can't even retreat.

As soon as you retreat, the Japanese troops will come, so our principle is to fight the Japanese troops first, then the Japanese troops first, and then the small-scale troops. Small-scale troops can be solved, but at most they can come with them, and then they can make a battle to destroy them.

When attacking, I will ask you for the entire division's retreat plan. You must give me this. It is not easy to replenish our troops. The sacrifice of any soldier cannot be caused by our command errors. In this way, if you have great contributions, the commander will come to you for trouble.

Come, come and discuss our marching route and what the soldiers want to bring. The commander sent a telegram and said that the rainy season will be coming in a few days. I think you have felt that the moisture has obviously worsened in the past few days. We must kill the Japanese in Xibu before the rainy season comes.

If Fengwen at the foot of the mountain wants to retreat, then let him go. If he doesn't retreat, then he will be tortured to death. I still hope that they will not retreat. If they don't retreat, we will be able to eat him!" Wang Changhe smiled and greeted Xu Zhuoyue.

"I said you are too heart-wrenching, right? The troops of the two divisions are about 30,000 people, plus the special forces unit. I doubt you said you would eat the division in Xibu. You also want to eat the 25th Army. I said Lao Wang, are you starting to learn to brag now?" Xu Zhuoyue looked at Wang Changhe and said,

"I will know whether to brag or not. Come here. Now I don't want to tell you this. We have more things to do. The troops will march tonight. According to the commander's order, the troops will arrive at the forest outside of Xibu before the morning after tomorrow, rest there, and launch an attack the night after tomorrow. So, we have to consider more things now, come!" Wang Changhe greeted Xu Zhuoyue and said.

Xu Zhuoyue also walked over.

On Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin also sent a telegram to tell Wei Lihuang about the incident of mobilizing his troops to Wei Lihuang. After Wei Lihuang saw the telegram, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Commander, now Hu Bin's troops are here. I think we will just have to hold on for a few days!" Jiang Dingwen said to Wei Lihuang.

Although Jiang Dingwen and Hu Bin had a grudge, he still knew about Hu Bin's ability to fight the Japanese.

"Well, I guess we have to last for three to four days. We have no problem with this. That bastard Fengwen at the foot of the mountain is crazy. He dared not fight Hu Bin's troops, and he came to fight our troops specifically, Made, which caused us so much casualties!" Wei Lihuang nodded and cursed.

However, what comforted Wei Lihuang was that there were many casualties in Fengwen's troops at the foot of the mountain this time, and it was estimated that about 20,000 were killed, and the serious injuries were probably not lower than this number. In fact, a large part of the casualties on Wei Lihuang's side were brought by the Japanese bombers. If there were no bombers, there would be no problem for Wei Lihuang to block Fengwen from the foot of the mountain.

However, in Yangon, Okamura Yamamura was furious when he learned that Yamashita's troops had not yet retreated. He knew that Yamashita's troops looked down on him a little and believed that he was not able to command him. Therefore, Yamashita's troops dared to disobey and continue to attack the Chinese troops.
