Chapter 420 Mixed joys and sorrows
42o
Li Zongren was very excited now. He didn't expect that there would be such a chance to repay. All morning, Li Zongren mobilized troops again. Now his troops were tentatively attacking the Japanese. Those Japanese did not turn on heavy firepower at all.
There are two divisions in the retreat, and they are approaching the other divisions. The biggest possibility is that they have no ammunition, because two days ago, the attacks of the two divisions were quite fierce, and the ammunition was almost done. Now that the supply is broken, they can only approach other divisions so that they can ensure their safety.
But Li Zongren would not give him such a chance. When he learned that these two divisions were retreating, Li Zongren ordered his troops to start attacking actively.
"Report, the 28th Army sent a telegram. Now they are attacking the Japanese troops fiercely. However, there are great casualties, but the Japanese casualties are not small. Now he requests to add a division to him. As long as one division's troops are in place, he can always attack the Japanese troops and prevent the Japanese troops from retreating!" A staff officer stood up and said.
"Tell them, hold on until tomorrow morning, and the new troops will arrive tomorrow morning. I will give him two divisions of troops to let him feel at ease to kill me. How many Japanese kills me and how many soldiers I use!" Li Zongren shouted to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard it and began to write a telegram.
"Report, intelligence personnel show that the Japanese plane has been dispatched!" An intelligence officer stood up.
"Notify Hu Bin and all our troops that the Japanese bombers are coming, pay attention to air defense!" Li Zongren said.
"yes!"
"Report" the entire command center reported continuously, most of which were good news, although it was very difficult to fight on the front line.
But it was all good news. After half an hour of busy work, Xue Yue came over with a telegram.
"The commander's telegram has been here for half an hour. I just saw you busy. I didn't show it to you!" Xue Yue said to Li Zongren with a smile.
"Yeah!" Li Zongren nodded and started reading with the telegram.
"Tell the commander, it doesn't matter if Hu Bin can stop it there. What's important is that Hu Bin has occupied Linxiang. Now the Japanese have no logistics supplies to send them up, which is when we attack.
It doesn't matter if Hu Bin can't stop it. What I am worried about now is how Hu Bin retreats to our side. Hu Bin's troops cannot go to Yan'an. I hope the commander can communicate with Yan'an and let Hu Bin's troops be in the south of us. We can pay a little price, because with Hu Bin's troops here, we can kill some Japanese unexpectedly, and even counterattack Wuhan!" Li Zongren said to Xue Yue.
"Counterattack Wuhan?" Xue Yue looked at Li Zongren in surprise and said.
"That's right, come and see, don't say that we wiped out all the 8 divisions of the Japanese, we just killed half of their troops. How many troops are there to defend against Wuhan?
How many troops do we have in our hands now? Can we counterattack? Even if we can't conquer Wuhan, we have to control most parts of Hubei! This will increase the security of our Chongqing and will not be bombed by the Japanese." Li Zongren said in front of the map.
"If half of it is killed, then there will be at most 5 divisions and more than 100,000 troops left in Hubei. In order to protect Wuhan, the Japanese can only draw troops from other places. Then, we have a chance in Jiangxi, Fujian, and even Guangdong!" Xue Yue immediately began to think,
"That's right, this time, we can't only kill half of their troops. Hu Bin has three divisions. He has almost half of them killed. If Hu Bin reports that the results are true, then we still have 5 divisions here, hehe, 5 divisions, and there are no logistics supplies. I see how much they can escape. If the soldiers below fight well, they will wipe out them all!" Li Zongren said excitedly.
"It's really possible, but Hu Bin can block it. I expect the Japanese will retreat in the afternoon, which will bring huge pressure to Hu Bin! And the Japanese will definitely dispatch planes to bomb the troops we are pursuing, which is actually not easy to fight." Xue Yue said to Li Zongren.
"Well, but we can fight at night and seize every opportunity to fight. In 3 days, the Japanese's food can support up to 3 days. After 3 days, hum, I see if they fight with us. They can't fight us even if they fight with bayonets." Li Zongren said very firmly.
"Okay, I'll go and telegram to the commander, but leave Hu Bin behind? Why did Hu Bin come?" Xue Yue asked as he looked at the commander.
"There are two roads, one is that they can learn Shaanxi, and then from Shaanxi to Chongqing to come to us, and the other is to go directly to Chongqing. There is actually another road to us, but I dare not say it now, because we don't know if we can wipe out all the devils. If we can wipe out all the devils, then Hu Bin can come directly." Li Zongren said to Xue Yue.
"Well, too, Hu Bin has arrived in Linxiang. If he wants to leave, the Japanese will probably not be able to stop him. But I want to ask why he should stay. There are enough troops on our side." Xue Yue nodded, but he still didn't know why Hu Bin was left behind.
"Think about it, Hu Bin's troops are so capable, and based on the information we received before, the troops of the 386th Brigade can be so fast, and Hu Bin played a very important role in it.
Now you have also seen that for Hu Bin, a division seems to have no pressure at all. He breaks through. You say that if Hu Bin arrives in Yan'an, the entire northwest to North China will be Hu Bin's combat targets. At that time, Hu Bin will attack them and occupy those places.
You said, if we manage those places or Yan'an, Hu Bin will increase the control territory of Yan'an more quickly, and the influence will be that Hu Bin can win the battle, and the people will obey him. Think about it, most ordinary people now know Hu Bin. In addition, we used to promote the Eighth Route Army but did not attack. Do you still dare to promote it like this now?
They fought with the Japanese in a head-on battle several times and won. According to the information I know, Hu Bin's troops were there in these battles!" Li Zongren looked at Xue Yue and said.
"There is such a thing?" Xue Yue looked at Li Zongren in shock when he heard this.
"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can telegraph it to the commander's headquarters. Do you think they will blame me? It's definitely not, the commander can understand it!" Li Zongren nodded and said.
"Hey, then I don't understand. Will Hu Bin stay here? If they want to leave, can we stop him?" Xue Yue asked again.
"Of course there is a price to pay, but I think it is worth it!" Li Zongren said.
When Xue Yue heard this, he nodded, and did not speak, but went out. He wanted to telegrams from the commander to report the situation here, and what Li Zongren said. Soon, the commander's headquarters received his telegram.
"Okay, the fight was good. I really didn't expect that that kid Hu Bin could really break through and bring Hu Bin to our side. "The commander said happily when he saw the telegram from Xue Yue.
"Well, the commander is wise, I really didn't expect that Hu Bin could really give the Japanese a fatal blow." Liu Zhi said with a smile beside him.
"I want him to come here just to wait for this day. I thought I was going to be wrong this time. We overestimated Hu Bin, but unexpectedly, we underestimated him. He could really give the Japanese a fatal blow. Changsha, Wuyou!" The commander stood up from the sand with a smile and said very relaxedly.
"Commander, I feel that what Commander Li said later in the telegram makes sense. Hu Bin cannot go!" Chen Cheng said,
"Who agrees that Hu Bin has gone? Hu Bin's residence is in Yanglin. Who agrees that he will adjust defense?" The commander smiled and looked at Chen Cheng and said.
"Ah, yes, haha, the commander is right." Chen Cheng heard it and thought for a while. Yes, Hu Bin's troops could not leave Yang Lin without adjusting defense for Hu Bin.
Unless Yang Lin is occupied by the Japanese and Hu Bin cannot go, he must go. Even if he is occupied by the Japanese, Hu Bin must agree to the defense if he wants to change his defense.
"However, Hu Bin really can't go. I guess the man from Yan'an is going to argue with me again and ask Hu Bin to go. Hu Bin can't go. He must stay in the south to fight the Japanese." Commander-in-chief Jiang nodded and looked out the window and said.
"What should we do when they come to ask for it?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Give him another divisional organization, anyway, their troops are organized, hey!" Commander Jiang said helplessly.
"I guess a teacher may not be able to fight." Bai Chongxi said from the side.
"Oh, I can't fight a division?" Jiang Tongshuai asked, looking at Bai Chongxi.
"Commander, this is just the price you have left him for, and Hu Bin's reward for making meritorious services this time. At least he, the major general, is going to be promoted to another level, right? Lieutenant General, that is the commander!" Bai Chongxi said.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, most people in the country may know about Hu Bin's contribution this time. You can't be promoted!" Chen Cheng heard it and asked as he looked at the Commander-in-Chief.
"Niang Xipi, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, who is less than 20 years old, should he be given an army organization?" The commander said to them.
Those generals stopped talking, and the meaning was very obvious. If he didn't give it to him, who would dare to be promoted to the generals who participated in the Changsha Battle? Hu Bin's contribution should be the greatest now. Of course, Li Zongren and Xue Yue are not counted. They have reached the peak that soldiers can reach.
"Xipi, I'm in trouble now!" The commander said a little reluctantly. This matter is not a good thing for him now. The significance of a division's organization and an army's organization is completely different. (To be continued.)
You can get the view after getting off the clouds.
