Chapter 727 Quick Attack
After Hu Bin informed the anti-aircraft artillery brigade, he put down the phone. At this time, the anti-aircraft artillery brigade and the engineers all started to act. The Japanese came to bomb during the day, so he could only repair it at night.↖
Because the US planes can arrive in 10 days, and Hu Bin did not tell anyone else that there would be new planes coming in Yan'an. Therefore, the airport must be repaired.
"Brother Bin, the engineer troops from Yan'an are here, and the commanders who lead the team have arrived!" A guard soldier came over and said to Hu Bin.
"Come? Okay, let's go and see!" Hu Bin was very happy when he heard this, and immediately walked outside. The troops coming now were the radar engineering troops, and there were also radar engineers accompanying him.
As soon as Hu Bin arrived outside, he saw several middle-aged men wearing military uniforms standing outside. Although they were wearing military uniforms, it can be seen that they were still gentle and elegant, and they were obviously cultural people.
"Brother Bin!" At this time, when those people saw Hu Bin coming, they immediately started shouting. When the people in the arsenal saw Hu Bin, they called him Brother Bin. Although those people were older than Hu Bin, they still liked to call Hu Binbin in joking, and they thought this was more intimate.
"Here you come, have you eaten?" Hu Bin asked as he looked at them with a smile.
"Not yet. Our troops are already doing it!" said the leader.
"Come on, come here, get some side dishes, hurry up!" Hu Bin shouted to the back, and then called them to the air-raid shelter next to them.
"Come on, have tea!" Hu Bin personally took the kettle to make tea for them.
"Brother Bin, why did you say you didn't go to the arsenal? After all, you are a cultural person?" A middle-aged man with glasses looked at Hu Bin and said jokingly. They admired Hu Bin very much and were very kind to him.
"Just kidding. I am both civil and military!" Hu Bin said with a proud smile.
"Yes, it's true, you are amazing. You say you are a scientist and go to war. Hey! We can't do it, and you can't shoot it!" said another engineer.
"Well, come on, I sit down and say, the conditions here are relatively difficult, I feel wronged!" Hu Bin asked them to sit down.
"We are also Chinese. We can fight the Japanese, and you can feel wronged, but the hardest thing is still you. Today we saw vehicles transporting the wounded are retreating to the hospital behind. Alas, they are all young children. You said, how come this damn Japanese, why are you thinking about fighting?" said the leader of the team.
"Well, I won't talk about this anymore. Such things happen every day. I have no choice but to defeat the Japanese. Only by defeating the Japanese can we China live a good life!
By the way, tomorrow, I will arrange someone to send you to the front to set up a radar station. It depends on you at that time, and I will arrange my guards to protect you. You are the treasures of the country and you cannot have any trouble. You can ask any requirements. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it. If it cannot be done, I will find a way to do it!" Hu Bin looked at them and said.
"There are no requirements, what are the requirements? As long as you can fill your stomach, it will be done. Leave the others to us, don't worry, it won't be embarrassing you." The engineer wearing glasses said to Hu Bin.
"Okay, but I want to tell you some things in advance. Now this is a war, and there are dangers. So when you build a radar station, you must pay attention to safety. Also, listen to the guards, they fight with the Japanese every day, knowing what's going on, you can't listen to his mistakes!" Hu Bin nodded happily when he heard them say this, and then continued to talk to them.
After chatting for almost half an hour, the food was delivered and Hu Bin invited them to dinner. They also knew that Hu Bin was busy. Just as they were chatting, the staff kept coming in and handing the telegram to Hu Bin to show him. Hu Bin issued an order here. So after they finished the meal quickly, they said goodbye. Hu Bin asked Zhang Fan to arrange troops to escort them to the frontline to repair radar stations.
The next day, the Japanese reconnaissance planes came. In order to attract reconnaissance planes, the anti-aircraft artillery troops made many fake targets and waited for the Japanese reconnaissance planes to descend to reconnaissance. As soon as they dropped the altitude, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns nearby opened fire at the Japanese reconnaissance planes, making the reconnaissance planes dare not come down at all.
"Nani, we fell four reconnaissance planes today. How did you reconnaissance? The Chinese troops do not have many anti-aircraft artillery troops at all. They even captured four of us. Have the bombers been dispatched?" Iida Xiangjiro heard this and shouted at the staff officer who had just reported.
"Report. No! The bomber has not been dispatched yet, and they are still waiting for the reconnaissance plane to report the situation. However, the reconnaissance plane cannot determine the target now, so it can only continue to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance and eliminate suspicious targets!" The staff officer said.
"Baga, send it out for you. Whether it is a real or a suspicious target, I will explode it. What are you waiting for?" Iida Xiangjiro heard it and shouted loudly at the staff officer.
"Hi!" The staff officer went out immediately.
"Report. All troops reported the situation. This morning, more than 2,000 people were broken. Many of the scouts we entered the forest were attacked by Chinese troops, and they also increased their reconnaissance efforts on the forest. Therefore, now, we cannot stop them. The General Staff suggested that we give up the reconnaissance of the forest and let Chinese troops come over!" The Chief of Staff came over with a telegram and said to Yoshiro Iida.
"Give up? No, you can't give up! If we give up, our front-line positions will immediately encounter danger, and you can't give up!" Iida Xiangjiro heard this and shook his head and said.
"But the casualties are too great now. As long as our troops approach the Chinese position, they will be attacked. The troops we were attacked yesterday were about 10 kilometers away from China's position. This morning, our troops were attacked 20 kilometers away from China's position.
Therefore, I suggest giving up the investigation of the forest. Anyway, the trees 50 kilometers in front of our position have basically been cut down by us. The rest are some shrubs, and there is no large force at all!" The Chief of Staff said to Yoshiro Iida again.
"Damn it, I said, we can't give up. We will continue to increase the investment of the troops tomorrow and delay the pace of Chinese troops' advancement. If we give up the reconnaissance of those positions now, then the Chinese troops will come to our front line soon, and our casualties will be even greater by then. Let's do it!" Yoshiro Iida said a little annoyed.
"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard this and had to send telegrams to the various troops.
"Commander, now it seems that Hu Bin's troops are going to attack us quickly?" A senior staff officer next to him said, looking at him.
"That's for sure. Hu Bin just likes to hit quickly, so we have to drag and hold Hu Bin. Don't forget that we have bombers. The longer we drag, the more we can know where Hu Bin's troops are. In this way, our bombers can bomb Hu Bin's troops.
When fighting on the ground, our troops are not the opponent of Hu Bin's troops, but we have bombers and advanced fighters, and American fighters are not the opponent of our Japanese fighters!" Iida Xiangjiro heard this, nodded, and spoke to the senior staff officer.
"Hi, in this case, we will use our air superiority to consume Hu Bin's ground advantage, which is very beneficial for us to defend Mandalay!" said the senior adviser.
"Sauga, Hu Bin has one biggest problem. He is very reluctant to let his troops suffer major casualties. He attacks us with absolute advantage every time. In this way, we will be able to fight. As long as Hu Bin's troops are not allowed to gather successfully, Hu Bin will have no choice but to do anything to us!" Iida Xiangjiro said a little proudly.
He wanted to defeat Hu Bin. If Hu Bin was defeated, his fame would be known to the whole world. There were too many generals in Japan who were lost to Hu Bin, so now their Japanese generals hoped to defeat Hu Bin himself. This time the commander-in-chief was Okamura Yasuji, and the commander on the front line was himself. So once he succeeded, the benefits that Iida Shojiro would get would be huge.
"Report, telegram from Yangon Command!" a staff officer came over with a telegram and said.
When Iida Xiangjiro heard this, he took the telegram and looked carefully.
"Yoxi, it's true that's the same as I thought!" After seeing Okamura Yanji's telegram, Yoshiro Iida nodded with satisfaction.
Okamura Yasuji also asked Iida Yoshiro to continue to send troops to the forest, and consume Hu Bin's troops to delay Hu Bin's troops' attack. Japan still needs time now. Although they have hundreds of thousands of troops here, they also hope that this battle can be fought after Japan completely captures India. In this way, the Japanese troops will have more troops to reinforce.
"Da da da da!"
"Quick, retreat, retreat, there is a battalion troops in front of them. Damn, are they reconnaissance troops? A battalion reconnaissance troops?" A squadron leader of a Japanese squadron shouted loudly.
Now his squadron has been ambushed in the forest. His troops are organized by a battalion. The squadron leader immediately asked his troops to retreat and could not win at all. Not to mention that his squadron is 70% of the local recruits, even if they are all Japanese veterans, they are not opponents of a Chinese battalion.
First of all, the ground firepower could not keep up, so the squadron leader could only retreat. Such a scene was performed at any time in the forest between Mandalay and Indo. It was the retreat of Japanese reconnaissance troops and were completely wiped out when they retreated.
