Chapter 1259 is all about money
19 Marshall and the others were in the command center, looking at the sand table. They hoped that Hu Bin could continue to fight to the east and lock up the Japanese troops, but they didn't know if Hu Bin would agree to this request.
Hu Bin's side has now ordered their troops to retreat, which makes them very embarrassed. They want Hu Bin to fight eastward, but Marshall cannot order because Hu Bin's troops are not under their command.
"Hey!" Marshall looked at the sand table and sighed.
"Commander, we can go to the president and see if he can give Hu Bin what he can give? As long as Hu Bin is willing to stop him east, the Japanese troops will be finished. Even if we don't attack them, they will starve to death and freeze to death!" An general looked at Marshall and said anxiously.
The other staff members were anxious when they looked at him. Such an opportunity was difficult to find.
"Hu Bin won't agree, he won't agree to do this!" Marshall shook his head and said.
"I go to find Roosevelt, but I don't believe it. As long as we pay the price and Hu Bin is willing to go, our US crisis will be lifted and we can counterattack next year!" An general said anxiously, and then ran out.
Marshall did not stop him, and he also hoped that Roosevelt could successfully convince Hu Bin to make Hu Bin to fight eastward and directly block the Japanese retreat!
On Xiang Feng's side, Xiang Feng also received Hu Bin's telegram. When he saw Hu Bin's telegram, he became silent!
"Brother Feng, Brother Bin didn't blame you. On the contrary, he said you were good at fighting!" A staff officer looked at Xiang Feng and said.
"Ha, Brother Bin, what are you doing?" Xiang Feng knew why Hu Bin said that, which meant that he had taken the blame. Xiang Feng understood, and said that it was a street fighting. There was no need to fight in this battle, but Hu Bin asked Xiang Feng to fight, and Hu Bin took on the casualties.
Xiang Feng not only accumulated experience in command on the front line, but also experience in street fighting. In the future, if Xiang Feng has experience in fighting in Europe, Xiang Feng will definitely have to bear greater responsibilities, which is equivalent to that now Hu Bin uses his reputation and shoulders to take responsibility, so that Xiang Feng will grow up.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong with you?" Shi Hao looked at Xiang Feng in a daze with the telegram there and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiang Feng said, then folded the telegram and looked up at the sky.
"Brother Bin, we are getting farther and farther away from you! I thought I could catch up with you, ha, frog in the well, I am really a frog in the well!" Xiang Feng said with a wry smile.
"What did you say?" Shi Hao asked immediately when he heard him say this.
"It's okay, you don't understand, you don't understand, Brother Bin, you're tired!" Xiang Feng said, turning his head to look at the direction of Chicago. The staff officers didn't know what he was talking about.
"Shi Hao, come on, our lives are so good, really good! Huh, go, progress, I want to go and see the experience of street fighting, immediately order the whole army to summarize. Even if it is a soldier, as long as he has good suggestions and summary, I will reward you at all!" After Xiang Feng finished speaking to Shi Hao, he immediately walked forward with his hands behind his back.
If Hu Bin was here at this time, he would be very happy to see Xiang Feng like this. At this moment, Xiang Feng was truly trained. Li Qinwei was trained by Hu Bin himself, and Huang Wenjin was trained by Commander Chen.
Xiang Feng is the second commander who has truly trained by Hu Bin to command large-scale troops and can be the commander who can stand on his own!
After Xiang Feng arrived in the city, a division commander also came.
"Commander!" The division commander came to Xiang Feng's side, saw Xiang Feng, and asked.
"How many casualties in the army?" Xiang Feng walked forward with his hands behind his back, and the division commander asked.
"One person was sacrificed, 349 people were seriously injured, and 43 people were slightly injured!" the division commander said.
"Which stage is the most casualties?" Xiang Feng continued to ask.
"The first stage. We attacked the troops in the outside defense stage, and there were few casualties. Our troops had enough firepower to suppress them, and we caught them off guard. The casualties as a whole could be encountered.
However, when we were fighting street battles, the casualties of the troops increased, and many casualties, hey, were all, we were all underestimated. We had never attacked cities with such high intensity before, so our troops suffered heavy casualties.
Commander, I have a responsibility, but I am not prepared enough! We commander, we often avoid the lack of experience in street fighting!" The division commander said after Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng heard this and stopped. The commander also stopped and turned his head when he saw Xiang Feng.
"The responsibility is not on you. What you said just now is very good, and many of them can be avoided. Next, I want you to summarize your experience in order to avoid these casualties when we are fighting street battles in the future?" Xiang Feng said to the division commander.
"Don't worry, commander, I have issued an order. Commanders at all levels and soldiers of the entire division must summarize why such large casualties occurred. This time the casualties were the biggest casualties since our division entered the United States!" The division commander stood there and said firmly.
"Very good!" Xiang Feng heard this, patted his shoulder, then turned around and continued walking.
"Captain, look, it's here, this street, my division sacrificed more than 3 times. Look, there are buildings on both sides, like cliffs. When our troops broke through here, there were great casualties.
Later, the armored troops bombed both sides, which allowed our troops to break through. This was because Japan did not have individual anti-tank weapons. If there were any, our tanks would lose a lot!" The division commander pointed to the street in front of Xiang Feng and said to Xiang Feng.
It is indeed all high-rise buildings, one after another, with no gaps or aisles between the buildings.
"If it is now, how are you going to fight?" Xiang Feng asked at the division commander.
"Blasting, blowing up one by one, looks very slow, but in fact it is not slow. We use a rocket launcher to bombard the streets, walk upstairs, and blow it up, and we must also take the initiative!" The division commander said to Xiang Feng.
"Is the bombing slow?" Xiang Feng asked.
"It's not slow, it's faster than ground attack, and the ground attack has more casualties. If we explode here and can blow up the Japanese inside, we will march upstairs and attack upstairs, and at the same time our armored troops are attacking underground.
However, they didn't want to block the streets below before the exam. When they saw the Japanese coming out, they fought. In this way, after we broke through one building, we cleaned one building, and even the Japanese couldn't escape.
Moreover, in the way of carrying out such a battle, we don’t need many troops. On one side, we only need one company, put three tanks on the ground, and an infantry company, and we can block the entire street. This street is just like a rice. We can kill them in one hour.
If the entire street battle was in this way, I think our troops could completely take over the entire city in one day. Of course, the premise is that the entire city has such dense buildings, and it doesn’t matter if it is not dense.
The key is that our troops must take the initiative on the battlefield and be able to eliminate the advantages of the Japanese. Their advantage is to use buildings, while we kill those buildings so that they have nowhere to hide!" The division commander said to Xiang Feng.
"That's right, the direction is right. In terms of details, we need to discuss with the soldiers below. They know the situation on the front line better. Never let the generals not know the soldiers or the generals! This is troublesome! When commanding, the entire army will be in chaos. They don't know what kind of command should be executed!" Xiang Feng heard it and nodded.
"Report, Commander, our troops are now inspecting supplies. There is a large amount of supplies in the warehouse here, all of which are ammunition, food, medicine, etc. According to the orders from the headquarters, we will take them away!" A staff officer came over and said to Xiang Feng.
"Can you take them all away?" Xiang Feng heard this, thought for a while, and asked the staff officer.
"Difficult!" said the staff officer.
"We have to find a way to find a way. Just now, I saw a lot of Japanese vehicles on the road. As long as they can move, they will be pulled over and installed. Many of our soldiers can drive, let the soldiers drive, drag them back, and fight, which can make money. Brother Bin likes this the most!" Xiang Feng said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard this and left immediately.
"The supplies used by millions of troops are here. It is too difficult to move them away in one day!" The division commander heard it and said to Xiang Feng.
"I know, but these are money. I will tell Brother Bin, can we get more time and supplies for us!" Xiang Feng nodded and said, "It is impossible for him to give up what he got!"
Soon, Xiang Feng arrived at the Japanese warehouse. The Japanese built a large number of warehouses here, and the warehouses were filled with supplies, a lot of food, and a lot of weapons and ammunition. All of these were money.
When Xiang Feng saw the situation here, he immediately sent a telegram to Hu Bin, hoping that Hu Bin would consider whether he could get more time. Xiang Feng wanted to bring all the supplies back.
Soon, Hu Bin received a telegram from Xiang Feng in the command center. After receiving the telegram, Hu Bin carefully considered it.
"Brother Bin, so many supplies can be worth a lot of money!" Mo She and the senior staff looked at Hu Bin at this time. They hoped that Hu Bin could agree with Xiang Feng's method, but Hu Bin ignored them and went directly to the front of the map. Looking at the map, he wanted to measure in his mind whether he could get back the supplies. (To be continued.)
