Chapter 728 Important Information
Hu Bin's troops and the Japanese troops have been competing for control of the forest. In fact, the Japanese also know that they have no way to gain control with the Chinese troops. Their purpose is to delay time and wait for their large troops to come.
On Wei Lihuang's side, he is now attacking. Wei Lihuang's troops are attacking Meng Yang. The Japanese fighters have been attacking each other with American fighters. Wei Lihuang has repaired the airport behind, and all American fighters are there to assist him in combat. Therefore, Wei Lihuang's troops still have an advantage on the ground now, but the Japanese have many soldiers, and Wei Lihuang's attacks have been very slow these days.
"Commander, the reinforcements behind us have arrived. Now two armored divisions have come, but!" Li Dalong came over and said, looking at Hu Bin.
Now all Hu Bin's troops have been pressing towards the front line, so Li Dalong is also assisting Hu Bin in the command center.
"But what?" Hu Bin asked at Li Dalong.
"However, I saw that these tanks did not seem to be tanks made by the Japanese. Even the Japanese tanks were not captured so many of them at once. On the United States, I have seen the agreement and did not help our tanks at all. What's going on with these tanks?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"You didn't ask those people from the tank troops?" Hu Bin asked with a smile as he looked at Li Dalong.
"I asked, but they didn't say anything. They asked their two division commanders. They all said they wanted me to come and ask you, what's going on?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Hehe!" Hu Bin smiled, looked around, and then whispered to Li Dalong: "Our own tank?"
"What did you say, ours?" Li Dalong almost screamed when he heard Hu Bin's words, which also attracted the attention of other staff officers. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. After looking around, he asked Hu Bin in a low voice: "Our own tank?"
"Hmm!" Hu Bin nodded with a smile.
"What we did in the arsenal?" Li Dalong continued to ask, and Hu Bin nodded with a smile.
"Really?" Li Dalong still couldn't believe it and stared at Hu Bin and asked.
"Did you say I can still lie to you?" Hu Bin asked at Li Dalong with teasing.
"Hahaha, OK. It's so good, it's so good, by the way, how is the performance?" Li Dalong laughed, then stared at Hu Bin and asked.
"Anyway, it's enough to be better than the Japanese. I don't know how powerful it is!" Hu Bin said with a smile.
"Okay, great. With such a force coming over, I feel that I am a little confident in attacking Mandalay. Made, we have been fighting with the Japanese for control of the forest for too long, and the Japanese are not afraid of sacrifice. I feel that in the past ten days, the Japanese have suffered at least 50,000 casualties!" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"The Japanese originally wanted to delay time!" Hu Bin frowned at this time, looked at the map and spoke.
"This will not work. The Japanese troops are desperate. They want to wait for the Indian troops to come and go to help. Once they completely conquer India, their target is us and the commander. I am very surprised, why do you want Wei Lihuang's troops to attack other places alone? Instead of attacking Mandalay with us, if we attack Mandalay with us, I think, we will have greater confidence!" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin in confusion. He had never figured out this matter.
"Ha. You will know then that Okamura Niji wants to kill me. If I am here, he will gather heavy troops to come here. It is useless whether Wei Lihuang is here or not. Wait, Wei Lihuang will anger Okamura Niji to death!" Hu Bin smiled, said nothing, looking at the map and selling it in hiding it to Li Dalong.
The battle here has attracted attention from the whole world. Many European and American journalists want to interview the frontline news in Chongqing. Many journalists also want to apply to the frontline, but were rejected by Hu Bin. Hu Bin couldn't guarantee that there were no Japanese and German spies among the reporters. Therefore, if the reporter wants to know the frontline news, he can only ask the officers in Chongqing.
"Commander, Hu Bin's troops are advancing very slowly now, and the periphery battle in Mandalay has not officially started. If this continues, in another 20 days, I guess the British troops will be completely unable to defend them. India will be completely occupied by Japan. This is a more troublesome thing for us.
The first one is that if Japan completely occupys India, they can start attacking China from the northwest, and our main forces are all restrained in the southwest, which is difficult to fight!" Chen Cheng took the baton and pointed to the map and said to Commander-in-Chief Jiang.
"Well, Hu Bin's advancement speed is indeed a bit slow, but his support troops have not arrived yet, and his airport has not been repaired yet, so he cannot attack Mandalay's peripheral positions. However, the results they have achieved are still good now. According to Hu Bin's report, in the past ten days, Hu Bin's troops have wiped out nearly 50,000 Japanese soldiers, which is very good!" Li Zongren thought for a moment and spoke.
"But do you know how much Wei Lihuang's troops have wiped out? It's almost 200,000!" Chen Cheng said.
"I know, but there is no way to compare this. Hu Bin's airport has not been completely repaired, so they dare not let go of the troops dealing with the Japanese. However, now Hu Bin's troops have to speed up the attack and cannot continue to delay!" Li Zongren heard it and nodded.
"When will Hu Bin's reinforcements arrive?" Commander-in-chief Jiang asked.
"2 days at the latest!" Chen Cheng reported.
"Where is the airport? When will it be repaired?" Jiang Tongshuai asked again.
"Tomorrow, Hu Bin's report said it was tomorrow!" Chen Cheng said again.
"Report, the intelligence department has discovered important information about Yan'an!" At this time, a major general came over with a telegram and said to Commander-in-Chief Jiang.
The general who was sitting there saw the major general coming, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense.
"Yunnong, what important information is? We are in a meeting now!" Commander Jiang saw that the generals stopped talking, and immediately looked at the major general and said, "This person is the leader of the Military Control Commission, Dai Li, whose courtesy name is Yunong!"
Commander Jiang knew that those generals did not like Dai Li. He was the leader of the Military Control Commission and the confidant of Commander Jiang. The most important thing was that he was the head of Commander Jiang's intelligence agency. If he offended him, Dai Li would immediately report it. Nowadays, there are a few generals who are clean. As long as Dai Li wanted to get rid of the general, he would stab him to Commander Jiang and he would have to take off a layer of skin if he didn't die.
"We discovered that the troops supporting Hu Bin this time have two armored divisions. These tanks are not tank models from other countries now. Moreover, Yan'an will definitely not be willing to buy the tanks of the two armored divisions, and they will not be able to seize them!" Dai Li glanced at the generals, and then said to Commander Jiang.
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"How is the tanks of the two armored divisions from Yan'an?" When the generals heard this, they immediately started discussing. This was a very serious matter.
The entire Chongqing army is an armored unit, and now there are two more armored tanks added to Yan'an. How come it doesn't surprise those generals?
"What's going on?" Jiang Tongshuai looked at Dai Li and asked.
"I don't think it was possible that the Soviet Union supported Yan'an!" Li Zongren said at this time.
"It cannot be a Soviet tank. This tank has no such tank. At least, the tanks that the Soviet Union is now equipped are different from the tanks that support Hu Bin now. It cannot be the latest tanks of the Soviet Union!" Dai Li said immediately.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Tongshuai looked at Dai Li and asked.
"I don't know yet. We are still investigating now. We suspect that it was the tank made by Yan'an himself!" Dai Li said.
"How is it possible? They can still produce tanks, it's impossible! Impossible!" When Commander Jiang heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and said it was impossible. He didn't believe that Yan'an could make his own tank.
"It is very likely that it is true. In the past year, many factories have been opened in Yan'an. It is difficult for our people to find out about those factories, and they don't know where the equipment of those factories came from. However, we have to suspect that they are capable of producing tanks from Yan'an." Dai Li said as he looked at Jiang Tongshuai.
"Producing rifles and producing tanks are two completely different concepts. The difficulty is too different. I don't believe that tanks can be produced in Yan'an!" Chen Cheng also spoke from the side.
"Don't guess first, you have to investigate clearly where the two armored divisions' tanks were brought from in Yan'an. Investigate clearly before speaking!" Jiang Tongshuai said as he looked at Dai Li.
"Yes, but now we have also investigated some evidence. Yan'an has opened Artillery Academy, Armored Academy, and Aviation University. I can understand the Artillery Academy, but we don't know what they are doing in the purpose of opening Armored Academy and Aviation University." Dai Li continued to say to Commander Jiang.
"What do you mean is that Yan'an not only has its own tanks, but also its own planes?" Jiang Tongshuai heard this and stared at Dai Li and asked.
"It's very likely!" Dai Li nodded affirmatively and said.
"Impossible, they can't make it out, Niang Xipi, do you think those tanks and planes are made of mud or made of wood? Where did Yan'an get the equipment? Did they chop them out of an axe?" When Jiang Tongshuai heard Dai Li say this, he waved his hand and said in disbelief.
"Yes, but!" Dai Li nodded, and wanted to argue.
