Chapter One Nineteen Eight The Layout of Neji Okamura
1198 Marshall saw Patton's telegram and was a little confused. He could clearly wipe out Torres' troops, but Hu Bin's troops did not launch an attack, but asked them to retreat.
"Commander, why did Hu Bin do this? He can completely annihilate those troops. Why do he still give them a chance to retreat?" A lieutenant general behind looked at Marshall and said.
"Damn it, what are the misunderstandings? Logically speaking, Hu Bin would not do this. Is there any misunderstandings on the front line?" Marshall said with a telegram. He also wanted to know what was going on and why Hu Bin stopped fighting.
"You send General Patton a telegram to ask what was going on. I need a comprehensive and objective report." Marshall said to one of the lieutenant generals.
"Yes!" a lieutenant general nodded.
"The front line is very good now. Hu Bin has certainly made a reason for doing this. Is there something we are not satisfied with? If so, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here? We must eliminate this misunderstanding in time!" Another general said.
"Well, there must be a misunderstanding. You must explain it clearly then!" Marshall nodded and said.
"Report, according to the intelligence sent by our frontline intelligence personnel, Chinese troops were pursuing Japanese retreating troops everywhere in Oregon. The Japanese retreating troops had heavy casualties. The Chinese troops were fighting very quickly, and they were chasing those troops." At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram and said.
"I know, is there any specific information or reports on how many Japanese troops were killed?" Marshall said.
"No, there is no way to count now, and it's still in the battle." The staff officer said.
"Then wait, there is no big deal on the Western Front. Tell me, can we mobilize Hu Bin's troops to the Eastern Front?
Now our Eastern Front is under great pressure, but it may not be so easy for Hu Bin’s troops to mobilize them. Hu Bin’s troops must also stabilize the front line.” Marshall asked at the staff.
"Maybe it won't work. If Hu Bin's troops are transferred, what should I do on the Western Front? There are not many troops attacking the Western Front. However, Hu Bin will definitely not be able to wipe out all the Japanese today.
Hu Bin did not have this ability and used more than 200,000 troops to attack the Japanese troops of 600,000 to 700,000 troops. Moreover, the Japanese decided to retreat, so it was impossible to completely wipe out the enemy." One of the generals said.
"You mean, Patton won't agree? He needs Hu Bin's troops to stick there?" Marshall asked.
"Yes, he would not agree. There are not many troops on the Western Front. If Hu Bin's troops are transferred, then there will be pressure on the Western Front, and Hu Bin may not agree." The general said.
"Why wouldn't you agree?" Marshall asked.
"Commander, Hu Bin's troops have been dispatched to the present, and have annihilated so many enemies. According to our plan before the war, Hu Bin's troops can help us stick to the Western Front. Now Hu Bin's troops have not only defended the Western Front, but also annihilated so many enemies, which has far exceeded the orders we gave him before.
Moreover, it is less than 20 days before the Chinese Spring Festival. In China, unless it is a war, they will not take the initiative to attack during the Spring Festival. They need to celebrate the New Year." The general looked at them and said.
"Oh, yes, yes, China's Spring Festival is coming soon. The first Spring Festival they have spent abroad. In order to let his soldiers have a safe New Year, Hu Bin will definitely not order his troops to go out to fight, unless the Japanese troops come to provoke him!" Mamarshall heard it and nodded and said.
"The Japanese troops dare not provoke him. Hu Bin said this a few years ago. If anyone makes him unable to have the Spring Festival, he will make him unable to have the year.
So, on China, on the Spring Festival, Japanese troops dare not provoke Hu Bin's troops at all. Hu Bin will really take revenge wildly!" the general said.
"Well, tsk, what should we do now? The pressure on the Eastern Front is too great. If this continues, the casualties of our United States will be unimaginable!" Marshall said a little worriedly. Now he really wants to mobilize Hu Bin's troops to the Eastern Front, but he also knows that it is difficult.
"Report, General Patton's telegram!" At this time, a staff officer came over to Marshall with the telegram and said.
Marshall heard it, took the telegram and started reading it.
"Well, that's right, but is there any misunderstanding here? Or is General Patton not telling me the truth!" After reading the telegram, Marshall sent the telegram to the other generals.
In the telegram, Patton said that Hu Bin originally said he wanted to fight street battles in the morning, but in the afternoon, he suddenly changed his order and said that he would give up the attack and let the Japanese troops retreat, saying that this place was not worthy of his sacrifice of so many troops.
But Patton said that according to the data reported by Hu Bin's subordinates, their estimated casualties were 2,000, but Hu Bin disagreed. Patton also emphasized that there were 5,000 or 6,000 people in Torres, and it was completely cost-effective to exchange for the five,000 or 6,000 people here, but Hu Bin said it was not cost-effective, so Patton didn't know what Hu Bin was thinking.
"That's not the case. Hu Bin suddenly changed his combat plan. Something must be happening. I feel that General Patton did not tell the truth." After reading the telegram, a general also started speaking.
"I don't feel that I'm telling the truth. Hu Bin doesn't need to change such a battle at all. He is under him. There is a commander who is in charge of 2,000 casualties. Hu Bin doesn't have to care at all, but Hu Bin's direct command over power means that he wants to convey a message." Another lieutenant general also spoke.
"Well, that's right, what kind of news is he going to convey? Alas, we can't ask Patton. After all, we don't know about this matter. No, after the battle over there, I'll go over and ask myself what's going on." Marshall nodded and said.
"Commander, then Hu Bin's troops?" the general asked.
"I'll talk to you then to see if I can mobilize Hu Bin's troops." Marshall continued.
In Japan, Okamura Nishi was thinking about what the news that Hu Bin asked Torres to convey. After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand and didn't know what Hu Bin was paying attention to.
"Report, the combat telegram from the Eastern Front of the United States is expected to be able to break through between Buffalo and Rochester today.
The armored troops were ready, with a total of 300,000 troops, of which 2,000 armored troops were deployed, ready to assault from here to Scranton, and then attack the second line of defense on the Eastern Front of the United States from Scranton, which is the last line of defense in front of Washington.
The United States has a total of 800,000 troops on the second line of defense, of which 600,000 are reserves and are still in training. If our troops can successfully break through Scranton tonight, then our troops will be able to completely break through the United States' line of defense in the next three days." At this time, a staff officer came over to Okamura and said to Yasuji Okamura.
"Yosi, I have fought with the United States for so long and consumed so many of their troops. I'll wait for this day!" Okamura Yasuji heard this and nodded, very satisfied.
He had previously thought of breaking through this place, but if he fought like this from the beginning, the assault troops would be surrounded and eaten by American troops.
But it is different now. There are not many mobile troops in the United States. The reserves are still training and their combat effectiveness is conceivable. Therefore, Okamura Yasuji planned to launch this attack at this time. He also mobilized a large amount of supplies from the other two offensive lines in preparation for this sneak attack.
"What's the weather there in the future? Make sure it's going to be heavy snow?" Okamura Nishi asked.
"Yes, according to the report of our weather forecast experts, in the next three days, heavy snow to blizzards will occur throughout the Eastern Front, and the Air Force cannot be used to operate." Another major general adviser said.
"Yoxi, the opportunity is here. Whether you can successfully defeat the United States depends on this time. Hu Bin, Hu Bin, haha, I still have to win!" Okamura Yasuji said proudly.
He never won during the battle with Hu Bin. This time, he felt that he had won Hu Bin. However, he knew in his heart that Hu Bin could not control the matter on the Eastern Front at all. On the Western Front, the Japanese troops suffered a great loss.
"After taking Washington, it will have a huge blow to the United States. I think our troops will be able to launch an encirclement of Hu Bin's troops next year and kill Hu Bin's troops." A general said.
"It's not that simple. Hu Bin's army is difficult to deal with. However, no matter how difficult it is, we will kill him. He has caused too many casualties to our army." Okamura Nishi said with a smile.
As long as Washington can be defeated, the morale of resistance in the United States will plummet. It is a matter of time to fully occupy the United States.
The only thing that can bring variables to Japan is Hu Bin, but Hu Bin's troops are just that. As long as Japan can kill the US troops in advance, Okamura Yasuji will still be confident of killing Hu Bin's less than 1 million troops.
Hu Bin didn't know all this, and he didn't expect that Gangmura Yanji had made so many strategic arrangements, so Hu Bin basically didn't think much about the Eastern Front. Besides, Hu Bin hopes that Japan can make a breakthrough.
"Brother Bin, I just received a domestic telegram. Japan may have a new move on the Eastern Front. We sent it from the senior Japanese officials!" Mo She took a telegram and arrived next to Hu Bin, leaning in Hu Bin's ear and whispered very quietly. (To be continued.)
