When Hu Bin heard the staff officer say that Li Dalong had gone to sleep in the small conference room, he nodded and signaled them not to disturb Li Dalong. He sat down at his seat and looked at the combat report from the Air Force this morning. Hu Bin looked carefully, and then there was a smile on his lips.

"Send a telegram to Zhao Xiren and report the list of those who have made merits. I will advance to them. By the way, Wang Zhiwu, the captain of the First Battalion, I found that he has served as an air commander in the recent battles. It is very good. He ordered him to go to Yan'an immediately and serve as the commander of the 7th Aviation Division. He can bring 10 pilots with merits over there!" Hu Bin said.

"Yes!" the staff officer next to him said immediately.

When the other staff members heard this, they were very envious of Wang Zhiwu. They were promoted from the brigade commander to the division commander. This was too fast. Although they had many opportunities to be delegated to various troops as chief officers, they were all promoted to half a level first. Only after participating in the battle will they be promoted to chief officers of military officers.

Now Wang Zhiwu is the captain of the brigade, equivalent to a regiment commander, and then he was directly promoted to the division commander, skipping the brigade level!

Soon, the telegram arrived at Zhao Xiren. Zhao Xiren was very happy when he saw Hu Bin's telegram. His subordinates were promoted to be the commander of the division, so of course he was happy.

"Come on, go and call Wang Zhiwu here!" Zhao Xiren said to the correspondent with a smile.

"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately went out. After a while, Wang Zhiwu arrived in Zhao Xiren's office.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Wang Zhiwu came over and asked with a smile.

"Come on, sit down. You performed very well this time. The commander has noticed you!" Zhao Xiren saw Wang Zhiwu coming and greeted him with a smile.

"This is actually nothing. I also act according to the order!" Wang Zhiwu said with a smile.

"Look!" Zhao Xiren took Hu Bin's telegram and handed it to Wang Zhiwu.

As soon as Wang Zhiwu looked at it, he found that the telegram was from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. He glanced at Zhao Xiren, and Zhao Xiren signaled him to continue reading.

When he saw Hu Bin ordering Wang Zhiwu to return to Yan'an immediately to serve as the commander of the 7th Aviation Division, he was stunned.

"Teacher, me, me, this?" Wang Zhiwu stood up in surprise and said to Zhao Xiren.

"Look at whose order is behind!" Zhao Xiren said with a smile.

When he saw that the order was Hu Bin's signature, he was stunned again.

"Now is the high-speed period for our Air Force development. We have always lacked air force talents. It is most appropriate for you to be the commander of the 7th Aviation Division. I saw what Brother Bin said. Let you choose 10 meritorious pilots for you to serve as brigade and squadron leader. Take it carefully and leave in the afternoon to form the 7th Aviation Division!" Zhao Xiren looked at Wang Zhiwu and said with a smile.

"I! Commander!" Wang Zhiwu was very excited.

He did not expect that he was a battalion commander of the infantry before. After he arrived at the Air Force, he was promoted to the brigade commander, equivalent to the infantry regiment commander. It took only half a year to join the war here a few times and was immediately promoted to the division commander. It took only 8 months since he joined the Air Force.

In 8 months, he transferred from the battalion commander to the division commander. Why didn't he excited? And it was Hu Bin's personal order issued by him. Several division commanders of the Air Force had to listen to Hu Bin's opinions before giving the order.

Although the six division commanders in front were not very familiar with Hu Bin before, they had to be familiar with each other, that is, they had worked as infantry officers under Hu Bin before, but being a division commander was a competition with many officers of the army. In the end, they must pass the Hu Bin level. Now that Hu Bin directly appointed him as the division commander, this means that Hu Bin is very acknowledging his abilities!

"Do it well, you are the first division commander of our Air Force to train itself!" Zhao Xiren said while patting Wang Zhiwu's shoulder.

"Yes, I promise not to embarrass the teacher, and not to embarrass Brother Bin!" Wang Zhiwu immediately stood attentively and said with a salute.

"Brother Bin is busy now and is also at the front-line command center. It is impossible to come to our side to see you off. Just go back directly!" Zhao Xiren explained to Wang Zhiwu.

"I want to send a telegram to Brother Bin!" Wang Zhiwu looked at Zhao Xiren and said.

"Ha, no need to do this. If you send a telegram, you will probably be scolded by Brother Bin! Do your business well, Brother Bin will see that the air force is still under Brother Bin's management. Although most of the commander-in-chief is in charge, the general direction is still in charge of Brother Bin. After returning there, set up the troops as soon as possible to make the troops form combat effectiveness!" Zhao Xiren said to Wang Zhiwu.

"Yes! Don't worry, the teacher!" Wang Zhiwu nodded and said.

"In the future, if you encounter difficulties, send a telegram to Brother Bin. There is good news, so you don't need to tell Brother Bin. Brother Bin can know. Remember to send a telegram to Brother Bin when encountering difficulties. He will definitely solve it for you." Zhao Xiren continued to explain to Wang Zhiwu.

"I understand, thank you, commander!" Wang Zhiwu nodded.

"Go, go pick people. Brother Bin will give you 10, and I will give you another 5!" Zhao Xiren said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, thank you for the division commander, thank you!" Wang Zhiwu said happily when he heard this. A new unit, especially the Air Force, would bring great confidence to the troops if there were enough experienced pilots to be commanders.

Soon, Wang Zhiwu went out, and Zhao Xiren was very happy. At this time, he was holding a telegram in his hand, which was sent by Hu Bin, and recorded a special merit for him. At the same time, he ordered him to be familiar with air combat as soon as possible. A new headquarters will be formed, and he will be the candidate for the new headquarters. Hu Bin wants him to hurry up!

And on Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin sent a telegram to the Air Force.

"Report, Xiang Feng's troops have been dispatched, and the armored troops have been dispatched first!" A staff officer came to Hu Bin and said.

"Reported that the Air Force has transferred to Mandalay Airport, the fighter jets on duty have taken off, and the bombers can take off at any time!"

"Report, Li Qinwei's troops are starting to operate! Now we are marching towards Dagon!"

"Report, Wang Changhe's troops have taken action!"

"Report, Ding Wanzhong's troops have begun to take action!"..

At 8 o'clock, the troops began to march towards the Japanese defense line according to the original plan.

"Order the Air Force to prepare for the fighter plane to take off at any time. The Japanese may dispatch fighter planes and bombers to stop the attack of our ground troops!" Hu Bin walked to the front of the map and said.

"Yes!" a consultant responded and left.

At this time, on several positions near Mandalay, the armored troops were quickly moving forward, and the ground troops also began to gather and rushed towards their targets.

"Monk, it's not easy to fight this time. Our casualties may be very large. Your troops are better. They are all veterans. Although my troops have participated in several battles, they are all over the end. I guess they are troublesome!" Lin Zeyu, the commander of the 251st Division, said to Li Qinwei with concern.

"You have to fight even if it is difficult to fight. Remember, you need to control casualties. You can consume ammunition at will, but casualties must be reduced. I felt the pressure of Brother Bin. Although Brother Bin didn't say it, he must have such concerns, otherwise he would not always emphasize that he should control casualties!" Li Qinwei said to the marching troops.

"What pressure? Can't beat the Japanese?" Lin Zeyu said to Li Qinwei.

"What's the use of winning this time? Think about it, how many troops we have now, just over 300,000, and how many Japanese are there. They can't consume us at once, so they can continue to organize battles. But you also know how difficult it is to replenish the troops on our side. Brother Bin will have no troops to send, and he has to switch from attack to defense.

But whether it is attack or defense, it is the same for the Japanese. They may torture us to death. Therefore, Brother Bin emphasized that casualties should be controlled!" Li Qinwei sighed and said.

"Hiss, it's true!" Lin Zeyu heard this and looked at Li Qinwei in shock and said.

"So I said, you can consume ammunition by the way. Now our ammunition is sufficient, and we also have enough transport aircraft, and all ammunition can be transported through transport aircraft. Do you understand?" Li Qinwei said.

Lin Zeyu and Wang Xiaoyi, commander of the 244th Division, nodded seriously.

"Let's go, this time we are the main force of the attack. We must quickly break through the Dagon defense line, so that the attacking troops in our middle can be safe. Otherwise, the longer we drag, the Japanese will be able to send troops to the front line from behind, which will really become a war of attrition!" Li Qinwei looked at the two of them and said.

"I understand, don't worry!" Wang Xiaoyi nodded and said.

Soon, the two of them took the bus. Now they were not worried about the Japanese bombers. They also had fighter jets on their side, so they dared to march at night. When it came to Dugong from here, the infantry would need to march for 4 hours, while the armored troops would have an hour enough.

They would not launch an attack when they got there. Although they could raid the positions, the Japanese had already repaired anti-tank fortifications, and it was impossible to successfully raid. After they arrived at the front line, they had to use some mechanical equipment to dig up simple fortifications, because the artillery troops were following them, and they also had to cover the artillery troops to repair the artillery positions.

Now they don’t have to worry about the Japanese artillery firing. When they arrive at Dagon, there will definitely be Chinese fighter jets and bombers in the sky. As long as the Japanese artillery position is exposed, they will immediately bomb the Japanese artillery position!

Therefore, after the Second Armored Division marched to the 3 kilometers in front of the Japanese's main position, they began to build simple fortifications according to the position they chose yesterday. The armored troops were alerting around the positions, allowing the infantry of the armored troops to follow the engineering soldiers to repair fortifications.
