At this time, Hu Bin has been waiting at the airport command tower. He doesn't know how effective the operation is. No news has been heard before. However, for Hu Bin and this army, no news is good news.

"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, we successfully attacked, successful." At this time, a staff officer rushed into the command tower with a telegram and shouted happily at Hu Bin.

"Show me what you succeeded?" Hu Bin was very happy when he heard this. He immediately stood up from his position, received the telegram and looked at him carefully. The people in the command tower also stood up and stared at Hu Bin.

"Comrades, our raid was successful," Hu Bin stood there and announced to the people inside the tower.

"Oh~" Everyone in the tower cheered.

Everyone was actually worried that this raid might fail. Once it failed, it would be an encounter. Everyone didn't know whether those young pilots could win the encounter. Now when Hu Bin announced that the raid was successful, everyone was relieved, and of course they would cheer.

Soon, the news of the successful raid spread throughout the airport. After the ground crew learned the news, they also began to cheer. After all, this was the first time that the Yan'an Air Force participated in the war. It was a very successful victory.

Hu Bin arrived outside the command tower at this time and saw the soldiers outside cheering and smiled on his face. Although he didn't know what the result was, Zeng Zhiqiang sent a telegram saying that the raid was successful and the effect would definitely not be bad. At least, in the next half month, it would be impossible for the Japanese fighters and bombers to appear in the defense line of the Japanese around Mandalay.

"Send a telegram to Li Dalong and order our troops to prepare for the assault tonight. At the same time, mobilize three infantry divisions and set off immediately. In addition, tell Li Dalong that our Air Force successfully raided Mandalay Airport and is now returning. The specific results will be notified later." Hu Bin said to Mo She beside him.

"Yes" Mo She heard it and went out immediately, while Hu Bin stood there, looking at the soldiers outside.

Soon, the command tower ordered the ground crew to perform their duties, and the plane that attacked was about to come back later, and they had to be prepared.

In several places around Mandalay, several J-1 fighter jets fell, but the pilots all jumped out. Just after they jumped off, the pilots put away their parachutes and carried them on their backs, so that the enemy would not know where they were landing and gain more time for their escape.

And just south of Mandalay, a soldier had just landed and quickly put away his parachute. At this time, he heard the sound of a motorcycle in the distance.

The soldier "Made" pulled out his pistol, put on his parachute and started running. There was no way to run away here because the trees were cut down by the Japanese, and no matter how many people ran, they could not run away from the motorcycle.

"He's there, chase him." At this time, a Japanese man was sitting on the motorcycle's squad and saw the running pilot shouting loudly at the back. There were 5 motorcycles and 15 Japanese man who came to chase him this time.

"Bang, bang, bang" Suddenly, gunshots came from a stream, and the drivers of the three motorcycles in front were hit, and the motorcycle immediately overturned.

The Japanese behind "Baga, there are enemies" stopped the motorcycle, jumped down, and lay down. They didn't know where the shooting was just now, so they could only lay down.

After hearing the gunshots, the pilot also lay down, and looked back and found that the Japanese chasing him had stopped. At this time, he thought that when the combat meeting was held this morning, the captain said that as long as he jumped out of Mandalay's defense line, someone would save them, and they didn't need to worry about anything, just run into the woods, and those enemies were handed over to the troops who helped them.

The soldier thought of this and immediately got up and continued to run south. Now he had to leave here quickly and go to the woods. When he arrived at the woods, he was relatively safe and easier to hide.

"Bang" Suddenly, another shot was fired from behind. The soldier stopped and found that there was still no change behind him, so he continued to run.

The same is true in other places. Some of the pilots who jumped were also helped by the special forces regiments. With the help of the soldiers of the special forces regiments, they successfully got rid of the Japanese search.

About an hour later, the first fighter was about to land, and more and more aircraft appeared in the sky, all of which were ready to land. The fighter jets did not have enough fuel, so it was necessary to arrange for fighter jets with very little oil to land first. When the first fighter jet landed successfully, the ground crew soldiers applauded, and Hu Bin also stood in front of the command tower to applaud.

At this time, it was just around 7 o'clock in the morning. In Yangon, Okamura Yanji had just gotten up and received a telegram from Iida Shojiro. After receiving the telegram, Okamura Yanji sat there in a daze for almost half an hour.

He really couldn't figure out where those planes came from, because according to his information, Hu Bin didn't have planes at all. Not only did Hu Bin not have planes, but they didn't have many planes on Wei Lihuang's side, so it was impossible to carry out a raid on Mandalay Airport.

"Commander, Mandalay sent a telegram and counted the losses." The Chief of Staff came over with the telegram and said in a low voice to Okamura Yanji.

"Tell me," Okamura Yasuji said while sitting there.

"Hey, this enemy's raid, our army lost 860 fighter jets, 210 bombers, 187 transport aircraft, and 20 reconnaissance aircraft. The aircraft that can still take off are all aircraft in underground warehouses. However, the runway has been completely destroyed and there is no way to take off.

In addition, the enemy also raided our air defense division, and our anti-aircraft guns suffered serious losses. Because our soldiers could not reach the anti-aircraft guns in time, there was no way to effectively prevent air defense.

This time, a total of 21,028 people were broken, including 1,084 pilots, 13,284 of the air defense brigade were killed, and the remaining were the airport's guards and ground crews. In the entire raid, our local soldiers were killed by 8,021," the chief of staff reported to Okamura Yasui.

"Baga" Okamura Yasuji heard it, closed his eyes and did not dare to leave. He stood behind him and looked at him.

"The airport is 24 hours a day to repair. I want them to return to normal within 7 days. I don't care what they use," Okamura Yasuji said.

"Hey, but, the airport has sent an evaluation report. There is no value for repair there. If we want to take off the plane, we can only rebuild an airport. The speed of rebuilding may be faster than reconstruction," said the Chief of Staff.

"I don't care about this, I just want our empire's planes to take off and land in Mandalay," Okamura said.

"Hi, I'll inform you right away." The Chief of Staff nodded and was about to walk back.

"Wait, we will mobilize the troops of four divisions from us again, and in addition, send a telegram to Yoshijiro Iida to reinforce the side of Malai. Hu Bin will definitely raid Malai within 24 hours, so that Malai's troops will be vigilant and block Hu Bin's troops for me. If it can be blocked for more than a week, that would be the best," Okamura Nishi ordered the Chief of Staff.

"Hi" Chief of Staff nodded.

"Come on the phone, I want to talk to Commander Yoshijiro Iida," Okamura said, standing up and saying.

"Hi" A communications consultant heard this and immediately picked up the phone and started dialing.

Almost a minute later, the phone was answered. Okamura Yanji took the phone and said, "I am Okamura Yanji. Now you have to be prepared. Hu Bin will definitely come over to attack. Malai must be prepared."

"Hey, I have mobilized 3 divisions and quickly mobilized them to Malai. Now we have no bombers. I am worried that Chinese bombers will come to raid, so I transported them by vehicles. It will probably take about an hour to arrive," Yoshiro Iida said on the other side of the phone.

"Yoxi, I think it must be Hu Bin doing this time. There are not many planes there at all. When they attacked our airport this time, they must have used all the bombers. Therefore, it was still safe for an hour. After ordering the troops to get there, they will soon enter the position." Okamura Yanji looked at his watch and said to Yoshiji Iida.

"Hi" Yoshijiro Iida said.

"Also, Malai must fight well. This is related to the morale of our entire Mandalay soldiers. You also know that there are too many local soldiers in the empire now. If we cannot defeat Hu Bin's troops, those soldiers may escape. Therefore, in order to defend Mandalay, you must fight well and successfully stop Hu Bin's troops' attacks.

I guess they still charge on the ground, plus cannons. Now that they have bombers, they may use bombers to bomb our artillery positions. You must hide those cannons. Hu Bin used to like to fight at night so that his cannons can be activated. You must also learn the opponent's fighting style. Do not fire cannons during the day, but bomb the enemy at night." Okamura Nishi told Iida Shojiro again.

"Hi, I will pay attention, but if Hu Bin comes to us, we may not be able to hold on for a few days." Iida Shojiro hesitated for a moment and reported to Okamura Yanjihui.

"I know, no matter what the price is paid, we must defend it. If Hu Bin takes over Malai, he will advance and attack and retreat or defend." Okamura Yanji said to Iida Xiangjiro in a very calm tone, but deep worries were revealed in his calm tone. To be continued.
