1280 Marshall asked the generals what were the characteristics of Hu Bin commanding the war, and one of the generals immediately stood up and said.

"Yes, Hu Bin's troops are good at attacking, but being good at attacking does not mean that they are not defending. On the contrary, their defenses are arranged very well, and they are all arranged in advance.

Even if they keep attacking, there will be a line of defense behind them, so Hu Bin's troops will attack, but they are also very good at defending!" Steven said immediately.

"Well, you all saw this with your own eyes?" Marshall nodded and asked at them.

"Yes, we have seen with our own eyes that their troops are attacking, while their engineers are repairing fortifications behind them, so they have an illusion for others!" Steven nodded and said.

"Is there anything else?" Marshall asked again.

"Yes, Hu Bin's troops have a very good firepower combination, especially the bazooka troops and the sniper troops. Their two pairs control the battlefield firepower. When the Japanese troops attack, their armored vehicles, their heavy machine guns, and cannon throwing cannons basically cannot be driven.

Moreover, after the snipers killed important targets, they killed the officers on the front line. As long as they discovered the officers on the front line, they would kill them, leaving the Japanese grassroots without commanders.

Dear generals, you also know that if there were no grassroots commanders on the front line, how harmful would be to the entire army attack? The soldiers below would not know where to attack!" Another major general stood up and said to Marshall and the others.

"Yeah! Write it down!" Marshall said to the generals beside him.

"This requires training. Our troops may lack this training. In addition, their troops are also very skilled in using different weapons. After I saw their bazooka soldiers die or are injured, other soldiers will immediately take over the bazooka and continue shooting!" Another major general added.

"There is another thing. Hu Bin will arrange the troops in advance and have already arranged them before the battle begins. Unlike us, we are just charging, unorganized charges. Under the suppression of dense firepower, such charges are the lowest.

But Hu Bin's troops would not, they would not charge easily. After so many days of fighting, their infantry would basically not chase after the Japanese troops retreated.

We also asked, they said it was unpaid, so they asked them to run, and when they were about to run and could rest, the armored troops would be dispatched. At this time, the Japanese could no longer run.

With the armored troops, their soldiers will soon collapse, either surrendering or disintegrating. In fact, we can understand that even if we face such a force, I guess we will be the same!" Another major general immediately added.

"It is true that there is no structure. Our troops are fighting in wars, and they are really no structure and fighting randomly!" Steven nodded and said to Marshall.

"Well, there's more!" Marshall nodded and looked at the generals and asked again.

"Also, Hu Bin's troops may be ambushed in advance. They have a special reconnaissance force that seems to be able to provide them with enough intelligence. It is said to be called a special regiment, but we don't know what it looks like!" A major general stood up and spoke.

"Okay, in addition, they seem to ambush the Japanese in the wild. Our troops have not yet ambushed them, but they are just confronting each other head-on. They are not. They will choose a place to wait for the Japanese to march and launch an attack while they are still marching. In this way, Japanese troops will not have time to hide.

Last time one of their armored divisions ambushed the Japanese, they killed 40,000 to 50,000 people from the Japanese in just 2 hours. We really don’t have such efficiency!" Many major generals said there.

Marshall asked the accompanying general to record it. This is the gap between the United States and Chinese troops and is very critical.

Marshall chatted with the generals in the conference room for about 2 hours before Marshall was about to go for a break, while Steven accompanied him.

"General Steven, I just heard what our general said, I can understand why you thought that under Hu Bin's command, it is indeed because our command is not capable enough.

Our strategy is right, but there is a problem at the level of the division commander and the commander. I think you admit it!" Marshall got into the room and spoke to Steven.

"I admit that this is the gap between us and their commanders, but I also want to defend our commanders!" Steven nodded and said.

"Well, you said!" Marshall nodded and said.

"The commanders of Hu Bin all have the ability to command operations independently. They are not just passive defense, but they organize troops to attack. This time, Huang Wenjin and Ding Wanzhong, who I know, have the ability to command independently, and Xiang Feng, who is attacking Toronto, can also command independently.

I heard that once Hu Bin issued a combat order, he would not interfere with the specific command of the commander. Only when they asked for help would Hu Bin help, most of them were the commanders themselves.

Therefore, if I were Hu Bin's subordinate, I would definitely consider everything. I would do my best to complete the battle and reduce casualties for our troops as much as possible.

But the headquarters is different. We will fight as much as we want us to fight. We obviously have the advantage, so they say we want to retreat, and we retreat on the whole line. In fact, there are many times when we don’t need to retreat, we can withstand it. As long as we resist, we will have a greater chance.

I once heard Commander Huang Wenjin say this: If he was a commander in the United States and had 100,000 soldiers in his hands, if the headquarters commanded this way, he would not listen. He would lead his troops to fight for a bloody path.

Because we rely on the city to fight now, we have a way out. Even if we are surrounded by them, it is fine and we still have the ability to attack. However, we, we dare not violate the command of the headquarters, because even if we win, we have to go to the military court. It is precisely because of this that we are afraid of the Japanese troops.

That's why I hope to continue to fight with Hu Bin's troops. Their troops are really different from ours. So, please let Hu Bin agree to establish a joint command with us!" Steven said to Marshall.

When Marshall heard this, he nodded, and then walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He was also thinking about this question now, how to convince Hu Bin and make Hu Bin agree to this matter.

He also knew that the American troops needed to change. From the perspective of ideas, the troops had combat effectiveness, but if the combat thoughts could not keep up, that would not work. If they had to force their changes now, it would definitely not work, and those generals would not be able to adapt.

But when he fights with Hu Bin's troops, if Hu Bin's troops are used as a model, they will learn, just like Steven now, he has never thought about it before, but after fighting with Hu Bin's troops, they will think about it, because this is related to life and death, and the life and death of a large number of subordinates, they will not fail to think about it.

"Thank you, General Steven. If it weren't for your telegram, we wouldn't know how far the difference between us and Hu Bin's troops was.

I used to think that our weapons are similar to those of China, and our training will not be worse than them. Why can't we win? It's because there is something wrong with our command thinking and a big problem!" Marshall stopped and said to Steven.

"Commander, this is what I should do, we need to change!" Steven said with a salute.

"Well, we need to change. You go and have a rest first. We won't go out today. I will write a telegram to President Roosevelt later to tell him what is happening now, so that Stilwell, who is in China, will talk about this matter with the commander of Yan'an. I hope that Yan'an can get Hu Bin to agree to establish a joint command with us." Marshall looked at Steven and said.

"Yes!" Steven heard it, saluted again, and went out.

Marshall sat down, picked up the paper and pen, and thought about writing a telegram to Roosevelt. He wanted to completely resolve the conflict with Roosevelt so that the troops would no longer have more restraints, so that they could let go of their hands to fight.

But he had to consider whether this would arouse Roosevelt's suspicion, because if Roosevelt could not command the troops, it would mean that Roosevelt, the real commander of the three armies, would be undermined. Roosevelt would not command the troops at all. If too much interference would only put the United States in a desperate situation!

"Hey!" Marshall sat there and sighed. He didn't know what to say, so he lit a cigar and sat there thinking.

At this time, Hu Bin didn't know that they were discussing this matter. He was writing a telegram to the commander and also wrote a self-criticism.

Because he was too persistent in completing his strategy in the United States and ignored many things, which made the commander and the others worried, and at the same time almost put China in a bigger crisis, Hu Bin criticized himself and wrote about his views on the current United States and agreed to the proposal to establish a joint command with the United States. However, this needs to be reported to the commander and the command for approval.

Hu Bin mentioned in the telegram that Roosevelt would definitely send people to Yan'an, and the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief can consider it at the discretion and agree to this matter.
