Three days later in 1318, Hu Bin ordered his troops to open and attack from three directions at the same time, and by the afternoon of the same day, Ding Wanzhong's troops had already surrounded Hamilton, Toronto, and 10 nearby cities.

Huang Wenjin's troops began to attack Ottawa and 7 nearby cities, Wu Shaofeng attacked those coastal cities, starting from St. John's side, and surrounded 8 cities along the entire eastern front of Canada.

From the beginning of the morning, by about 7 o'clock in the evening, the troops completed the encirclement, and in some places it was a small city, and the attack began in the afternoon of the same day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hu Bin didn't care when they would attack, no matter when they would attack, they all handed it over to those army commanders to command, and the army commanders didn't care when the division commanders and brigade commanders below would attack, just arrange it, and let the officers below them decide for themselves the time and method of attack.

After all the troops were in place, Hu Bin sat in the headquarters hall and looked at the huge sand table in the middle of the hall.

"Commander, the troops have completed their deployment, and they can start operations tomorrow, and in addition, on the Western Front, the air force units have reported that a large number of Japanese armored units have been assembled! It is possible to launch an attack on our defense line on the Western Front in the next 3-5 days! Barton came over and reported to Hu Bin.

"Well, sit!" Hu Bin said to Barton, without commenting.

"Yes, Commander!" Patton heard this, and sat down worriedly, still not worried about the situation on the Western Front.

"Still worried about the Western Front?" Hu Bin looked at Barton and asked.

"Yes, the Western Front is my defense area, and the people over there are pointing to me and leading troops to block the Japanese troops, but!" Barton didn't go on.

When Hu Bin heard it, he didn't speak, but nodded.

"General Patton, how many days do we need to attack these cities on the Eastern Front?" Hu Bin asked at Barton.

"3 months for the long, 1 month for the short!" Barton heard it and said to Hu Bin.

"It's all done?" Hu Bin looked at Barton and asked.

"It will take more than 4 months, there are more than 1 million troops here, they all rely on the city for defense, and our firepower is not easy to play, so it is difficult to fight!" Barton said to Hu Bin.

"You underestimate our troops, as a chief of staff, or rather, as a commander, you underestimate your own troops, that's not going to work, 1 month, 1 month, I'm going to settle the war on the Western Front.

In addition, I would like to remind you that I Hu Bin will not fight a battle that I am not sure of, I have already thought about the eastern and western fronts, and I tell you, not that I hope to reassure you, but that I hope you have the heart to consider things on the battlefield, not things outside the battlefield.

Since you're here to learn, I can't say anything if I don't let you learn something, so put your heart on the battlefield. Hu Bin said to Barton.

"Are you really sure?" Barton heard it and looked at Hu Bin with great joy.

"I said, put your heart on the battlefield and ponder it. Including my current deployment, my deployment is not hiding from you, oh, a little bit of hiding from you, but I can't tell you this now, and you'll know later.

I said, I fight with the devils, only they are afraid of me, not I am afraid of them, don't say that I have more than 2 million troops in my hands, that is, 200,000 troops, he Okamura Ningji will also be afraid of me, 2 million troops have 2 million troops, 200,000 troops have 200,000 troops, use snacks! Hu Bin looked at Barton and said.

"Yes, thank you Commander for reminding me and guaranteeing that I will keep an eye on the things on the battlefield in the future!" Barton stood up and saluted Hu Bin and said.

"Okay, go ahead of your business, ponder my deployment today, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me!" Hu Bin smiled, stood up, and walked to his office.

After Hu Bin left, Barton sat down again and thought.

"What did the Commander tell you?" Eisenhower came over and looked at Barton and asked.

"The commander means that I don't have to worry about the affairs of the Western Front, he can handle it, and he wants us to consider the current deployment problem, why is it deployed like this!" Barton looked at Eisenhower and said.

"Do you believe what he says?" Eisenhower looked at Patton and asked!

"I believe that we have cooperated on the Western Front before, and I have seen him fight that time, if I had listened to him from the beginning, there would have been no such big casualties in that battle on the Western Front!" Barton heard it and nodded.

Eisenhower heard this, nodded his head, and did not speak.

"You say, what is the mystery of the commander's deployment now? I didn't understand it, it seems to be a very ordinary way of fighting! Barton looked at Eisenhower and asked.

"I don't know, I'm still wondering, there's no special place, isn't it just to surround those cities, ready to fight? There's nothing clever about that, is there? Eisenhower looked at Barton and said.

At this time, a senior staff officer on Hu Bin's side came over with a telegram and said to Patton: "Chief of Staff, the follow-up troops have now arrived in those cities and have taken over the defense of the cities!" ”

"Oh, okay, thank you, by the way, Staff Officer Wang, I want to ask you something, is there any intention for the commander to deploy like this now? Or the purpose! Barton looked at the staff officer and asked.

"Ha, there should be, but I'm not sure, so I can't say!" When the Wang staff officer heard it, he smiled and said.

"Tell me about it!" Patton heard this, and looked at the staff officer with great interest.

"Well, in this way, you will know sooner or later anyway, and I won't hide it from you, our commander will never deploy troops so densely, if it is in other places, to attack these cities, 400,000 troops are enough.

But based on the troops that are being mobilized now, we have about 1.25 million troops, so I guess we have a next move, but I'm not sure. If there is really a next move, Okamura Ninji will also be able to know.

He knows our commander's command style very well, and I can see that there are a lot of troops here, and I think he can also see it, so I'm not sure if the commander has the next operational intention, and generally speaking, our commander will not deploy so obviously! The Wang staff officer looked at Barton and said.

"Do you mean that if you want to deal with these 1 million troops, it is enough to command 400,000 troops?" Eisenhower looked at the staff officer and asked.

"Yes, that's enough!" Counselor Wang nodded.

Eisenhower and Patton looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes, and then they were confused again, because if 400,000 was enough, then why Hu Bin mobilized so many troops to go over made no sense.

What the intentions were, the two of them couldn't tell now, so the two of them sat there thinking, and Counselor Wang saw that they were okay and left.

"What is the purpose of fighting like this, training soldiers? However, the training soldiers will not fight like this, there are too many! Barton looked at Eisenhower and asked.

"I don't know, I don't know, 400,000 is enough, are they bragging?" Eisenhower asked, looking at Barton.

"No, no, the commander just said, 2 million has 2 million plays, 200,000 has 200,000 plays, if it is 400,000 troops, the commander will definitely not fight like this!" Barton heard it, shook his head and said.

"Well, okay, let's go and look at the telegrams that come up, and when the time comes, we have to provide support to the commander, and think slowly, but I'm strange, those troops rarely have telegrams coming, don't they report when they fight?

On the contrary, our troops in the United States also sent a lot of telegrams, I just counted the telegrams within an hour, of which our troops are 212, and Hu Bin's troops, that is, 12, and they are all telegrams that have reported that they have arrived, there is no specific description at all, I don't understand! Eisenhower stood up and spoke.

"Well, this is what we have to learn, the troops below us dare not fight now, and Hu Bin's troops, they dare to fight, because Hu Bin is standing in the back, and we are holding them in front, which is different.

So, this time we're going to see the effect, and then we're going to ask the troops below, ask them what they think, and if necessary, we're going to empower the troops below. Barton heard and nodded.

He also knew that the generals below were accustomed to sending telegrams to the above, asking how to fight next, but Hu Bin's troops would not send telegrams up, and they would find a way to solve it themselves.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Hu Bin saw that there was nothing major in the headquarters, so he was lying on the marching bed in the office and sleeping, so he didn't care about the things on the front line, and now Hu Bin just had to wait, waiting for Okamura Ningji to retreat.

However, this retreat, Okamura Ningji will do very secretly, if he didn't have the heart to analyze, it is estimated that he would not believe it, and Hu Bin's deployment over there has already begun, so Shi Hao arranged for the troops to keep an eye on them.

At this moment, in Alaska, Okamura Ninji received a telegram from the Eastern Front, saying that Hu Bin's troops had surrounded a large number of their cities, and some cities did not have many troops, but they were a large number of troops, and those big cities had at least one division, and some even had 3 divisions!

"Commander, it's not too early, rest early, it is estimated that there will be no major problems in the next few days, Hu Bin's troops are on the Eastern Front, and there will be no substantial progress, I believe that the imperial troops can hold off Hu Bin's troops!" A senior staff officer came to Okamura Ninji and reported.

"I hope so, but now I don't know something, why Hu Bin deployed more than 1 million troops over there, plus the troops behind, almost 2 million, is it really a military training?" Okamura Ninji looked at the senior staff officer and asked. (To be continued.) )
