Chapter 756 Preparations before the attack
Hu Bin told the staff officer that Xiang Feng had ordered the armored troops to rest with three infantry divisions, and the staff officer would go and order immediately.
"I'm going to fight again tonight. Can the soldiers eat and eat?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin with some doubts and asked.
"The Japanese can't stand it!" Hu Bin said with a smile.
"When should I take action?" Li Dalong asked again.
"When the soldiers have enough rest, we will act. This time we have to hurry up. One is to occupy enough positions of the Japanese, and the second is to destroy enough troops. Otherwise, when their planes come, whether our air force can block the raid from their air force is a huge question!" Hu Bin said with some concern.
Now that China's air force has controlled air supremacy, Hu Bin dares to fight like this, and he can only fight like this. Otherwise, once the Japanese re-controlled air supremacy is re-controlled, then his own troops will have to pay a greater price to attack, which is not what Hu Bin wants to see.
"If you attack tonight, if you cannot occupy Meiliao or Madeya's position before dawn tomorrow, our soldiers will be very tired when dawn, and then there may be major casualties!" Li Dalong reminded Hu Bin.
"No, Meiliao and Madeya's Japanese defensives are not much, they are almost one-third of the troops on the Malai defense line. In addition, our Air Force bombed once during the day, and news of the failure of the Malai defense line came. Those Japanese defensives will definitely be depressed. At this time, the best fight is.
If they react, the entire Japanese army will fight to the death, which will be difficult to fight. I am just going to catch the Japanese off guard now. The Japanese's combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Today's casualties report has not yet been reported, but I guess there are quite a lot.
Just now, a telegram was sent from the field hospital. There were more than 10,000 serious injuries sent to the hospital today. How many of them were sacrificed? If we cannot kill those Japanese quickly, our casualties will be even greater. Now we can only fight quickly. Even Okamura Nishiji, whom I want to fight, did not react!" Hu Bin said with a frown.
Today, Hu Bin estimated that the casualties may exceed 20,000. Although this number is just a number for many people, for the commanders of the troops, it is a series of sharp arrows piercing into his heart. Those commanders can only endure the pain and cannot be seen by other soldiers, otherwise it will affect morale!
Li Dalong heard what Hu Bin said, and stopped talking. He had been by Hu Bin for several months. He had been interfering with Hu Bin's command since he started. After a while, he remained silent. He slowly began to ask what he was puzzled. Now, he tried to keep up with Hu Bin's thinking and thought about how Hu Bin would fight.
Along the way, he had been conquered by Hu Bin's command skills. He was not convinced by Hu Bin before. A junior of his own, a real junior, actually climbed higher than himself and made more contributions than himself.
But until now, I can only admire him, especially when he knows that those tanks and planes are made by Hu Bin, so he is even more impressed. Therefore, he has now fully adapted to the reality of being Hu Bin's deputy, and has done a very good job. Now Hu Bin doesn't want to let him go, just hope that he can be his deputy.
"Report, the report from the Air Force found that Ruibao's Japanese were taking action, and many Japanese were loading things into the car!" A staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.
"What?" Hu Bin heard it and asked as he looked at the staff officer.
The staff officer handed the telegram to Hu Bin, and Hu Bin took it and looked at it.
"Catch me the Air Force Command!" Hu Bin said.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately picked up the phone and started dialing.
After about 30 seconds, the staff officer handed the phone to Hu Bin and said, "It was Zhao Xiren, the commander of the Second Air Force Division, who answered it!"
Hu Bin picked up the phone and said, "I am Hu Bin!"
"Hello commander, commander of the Second Air Force Division, Zhao Xiren, the Air Force Expeditionary Force Command, reported to you!" Zhao Xiren said immediately on the other side of the phone.
"Well, you just sent a telegram from behind, saying that the Japanese in Ruibao had taken action. Is there any specific information now?" Hu Bin asked.
"Yes, just now the reconnaissance plane sent a telegram and found that the Japanese might be retreating to Madeya. Now our air force is still investigating." Zhao Xiren said.
"Retreat to Madeya?" Hu Bin heard this and began to think.
"Yes, we speculated so, but for specific information, we have to wait for the news over there!" Zhao Xiren said immediately.
At this time, Mo She sent a telegram, which was sent by the Special Forces regiment. Hu Bin received the telegram and looked carefully. He found that the special forces regiment had also sent the same telegram, and found that Ruibao's troops were preparing to retreat.
"Commander, Commander!" Zhao Xiren waited for Hu Bin for dozens of seconds, and found that Hu Bin had nothing to say, so he immediately started shouting.
"I'm here, will your bomber dare to take off at night? What are the conditions for bombing?" Hu Bin said immediately.
"We can take off, but we need to indicate the target on the ground, otherwise the bombing will not work well. After all, we can't find the Japanese at night, especially when the Japanese march! Therefore, we need the ground to guide the bombing!" Zhao Xiren said immediately.
"Very good, I would like to ask, in the sky, can you see where the ground flashlight is shining. For example, we have soldiers holding flashlights toward the enemy. Can you see it?" Hu Bin heard it and then asked.
"This bomber may not be visible, but our reconnaissance aircraft can see it. If we want to bomb, we can let the bomber set out first. After guiding the target on the ground, our reconnaissance aircraft can use strong lights to illuminate the target and guide our Air Force to bomb!" Zhao Xiren said immediately.
"Okay! That's it, you ordered the Air Force pilot crew to rest well. At around 10 o'clock, you may need to launch bombers to bomb!" When Hu Bin heard this, he immediately decided to bomb the Japanese retreating from Ruibao tonight.
"Yes!" Zhao Xiren responded immediately when he heard this.
"Ruibao's Japanese retreat? They are no longer guarding?" Li Dalong asked at Hu Bin.
"Haha, Okamura Yanji was panicked, okay!" Hu Bin put down the phone and laughed.
"They are retreating to Madeya. Will our troops be affected when they attack Madeya?" Li Dalong asked.
"It won't be an impact. We are armored troops and have strong assault capabilities. Even if all the Japanese in Ruibao retreat, what can we do? If we can't fight today, we can fight tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, right?
I still wish that Ruibao's Japanese devils will retreat. First, we don't have to fight Ruibao anymore. Second, if Ruibao is controlled by us, we can continue to advance north and directly confront the Japanese who are reinforced by India! Okamura Neji still wants to defend Mandalay first and then find an opportunity to kill me." Hu Bin said with a smile.
"If the bomber bombing effect is good, it is completely possible to take down Madeya before the day after tomorrow. In this way, our troops will have three positions to hide their troops. At that time, even if the Japanese bombers come, we will have enough positions to avoid their bombing." Li Dalong nodded and spoke.
"Look at how the front line is fighting, come and record the telegram!" Hu Bin thought for a moment and said.
"Open telegram?" Mo She looked at Hu Bin and said.
"No, there is no hurry to send the Mingcoded telegram. Anyway, Ma Lai has been defeated by us. There is no hurry to send a telegram to Xiang Feng and Ding Wanzhong. The power of the next battle will be handed over to Ding Wanzhong. Xiang Feng assists in command. I hope you can grow up quickly. In the future, you need to command more troops!
Now for this opportunity to attack, I hope you can summarize your combat experience. When you come this time, you need to share your combat experience with all the cadres at the regiment level and above, and your shortcomings!" Hu Bin said, now he needs to train his soldiers as soon as possible to stand alone.
As for inventing the code telegram, Hu Bin was not in a hurry to say that he had captured Malai. He needed to hide his troops from attacking Madeya and Meiliao. He could not let Okamura Yanji discover any clues just because of a clear code telegram.
Now Okamura Nishi would definitely think that he would launch an attack on Madeya and Meiliao tomorrow. Maybe he had forgotten that when he was in China, he was good at fighting at night!
Soon, Xiang Feng received a telegram from Hu Bin. At this time, he was with Ding Wanzhong and several other teachers who had just been designated by Hu Bin to rest.
"Old Ding, congratulations!" Xiang Feng said with a smile after seeing the telegram.
"What are you congratulating me?" Ding Wanzhong had not seen the telegram yet.
"Teacher Commander, telegram!" At this time, Ding Wanzhong's staff officer also came over with a telegram and said to him.
"You read the telegram first." Xiang Feng said with a smile. Ding Wanzhong looked at Xiang Feng in confusion, but he still took the telegram and looked carefully. He found that it was Hu Bin who wanted to take over the command tonight. Moreover, the telegram also mentioned above that all the regiment-level cadres would see the telegram for the transfer of command power, and the purpose was to facilitate Ding Wanzhong's command.
"This, old Xiang, I..." Ding Wanzhong saw the telegram and looked at Xiang Feng very embarrassedly.
"Old Ding, what's your expression? Look at the telegram clearly. Brother Bin is training us now. Do you know what the purpose is?" Xiang Feng saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. He was worried that he would have an objection after taking over his command.
"I know, but you commanded well today. I've taken it over now, and there's something like that. In this way, I'll send a telegram to the commander and continue your command." Ding Wanzhong said embarrassedly.
Chapter completed!
