Chapter 1210 Preparation with both hands
1210 After Hu Bin's troops arrived in Sidi Kirwa, the troops began to rest, and at this time, the people of the United States in Sidi Kielwa, after seeing the Chinese troops, hid at home and did not dare to come out.
It wasn't until they saw the soldiers of the United States that they came out, they thought that the troops who had just come over were Chinese troops, and in order not to leak the news, Hu Bin's special regiment had already arrived at the front.
Some troops have even gone outside Chicago and are now scouting the situation in Chicago, and Hu Bin has also arrived in the warehouse of a farmer's house in the United States, which is temporarily used as a resting place for the headquarters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Send a telegram to all the troops, cook immediately, finish eating, the soldiers rest early, and leave tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, now we are less than 30 kilometers from Chicago, and we can't stay long!" Hu Bin said to Huang Wenjin,
Huang Wenjin is Hu Bin's chief of staff, what is the matter, and his Third Army is handed over to Gong Junpeng to manage, of course, Huang Wenjin is still the commander of the Third Army. After Huang Wenjin heard Hu Bin's order, he immediately went to contact the other army commanders and ordered them to hurry up.
Hu Bin lit a cigarette outside the warehouse, at this time, there was a white expanse outside, it had just snowed heavily, and the snow outside was very thick.
"Brother Bin, it's done!" Huang Wenjin came over and said to Hu Bin. Hu Bin heard it, nodded, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Huang Wenjin.
"Now the little devil still thinks I'm going to hit his airport, where is his warehouse, hehe!" Hu Bin smiled at Huang Wenjin and said.
"Well, I guess they must think so, I heard that the troops in Chicago have transferred 1 division of troops away, probably to defend their important targets." Huang Wenjin said with a smile.
"Where have Xiang Feng's troops gone? How long will it take to get close to Escanoba? The devil's airport is on the Ottawa side, and we need him to lurk. Hu Bin looked at Huang Wenjin and asked.
"A telegram came at noon saying that it would take three more days, and that his side would not dare to march during the day and march at night. Troops should be slower, besides, their journey is farther than ours! Huang Wenjin said to Hu Bin while smoking.
"Tell him, don't worry, it's okay a few days late, these days, we don't want to succeed in the sneak attack, Okamura Ningji is not so easy to fool, this person is very good, he knows, I will definitely not be able to bring such a few troops over." Hu Bin said to Xiang Feng.
"I know, but we need Okamura Ninji's attention on our side, so that he will let his guard down!" Huang Wenjin nodded and said.
"Of course, this time we will fight the devil from the side, he wants to surround me, but it's not so easy, why he chose Chicago, it's because his side is close to the lake, the devil wants to come over, he has to take a detour,
By the time he finishes his detour, I estimate that he has already taken a few cities, and when the time comes, let the troops of the United States also attack with us, and Okamura Ninji can only transfer troops from other places.
And the United States also has a chance, and they are also involved in counterattacking. Hu Bin smiled and said,
This time, Hu Bin plans to use himself as a bait, and then let Xiang Feng find an opportunity to kill the devil's airport, and then the warehouse, forcing the devil's troops outside to fight a decisive battle with the United States and himself, there is not enough ammunition, and the Japanese side will not win the decisive battle.
Coupled with Xiang Feng's cut off the back road in the back, the Japanese troops will definitely be in chaos. Therefore, Hu Bin has his own bait and lets the Japanese troops besiege him, as long as he can kill several Japanese troops that surround the cities of the United States and integrate all the troops of the United States, then the Japanese troops will not be so comfortable.
At that time, the troops guarding the airport and important targets will definitely be transferred, and Japan does not want Hu Bin to crush their troops on the eastern front of the United States one by one.
"Brother Bin, the people of the United States can't be trusted, what if they don't send troops to fight us?" Huang Wenjin looked at Hu Bin and said.
"I still wish they didn't move, if they don't move, we will retreat, let Japan continue to fight, we and Xiang Feng's troops can retreat!" Hu Bin looked at Huang Wenjin and said with a smile.
"Can it work? Wouldn't that be bad? Huang Wenjin looked at Hu Bin and said.
"If he can do it, I will be able to do it even more, if he doesn't fight, he still expects me to fight, it's not my country, this time, if he doesn't fight, then I'm ready to lose all the cities on the eastern front!" Hu Bin said very seriously.
"But I don't think it's likely, I always feel that the United States also wants to hide a hand, just look at his recruit arrangement this time. If we take the troops of the United States to fight, they will definitely be able to think that the casualties will definitely not be small, and they will still count on us, Brother Bin, we have to prepare with both hands. Huang Wenjin suggested to Hu Bin.
"Yes, that's what Mi Guo thinks, so I'm fighting like this, forcing Mi Guo to fight with us, don't fight? Hum! If you don't fight me and withdraw, Lao Tzu is not a fool, our troops, don't you want to withdraw and retreat? Prepare with both hands, I have been ready for a long time. Hu Bin sneered and said,
He didn't expect Mi Guo to really listen to his advice and fight with his own troops, but it was best to listen to it, and if he didn't listen, Hu Bin was even happier in his heart, now it was the command that ordered him to increase the troops, if it wasn't for the order from the headquarters, Hu Bin would continue to drag, and it is estimated that he would not come over so soon.
At this time, in Houston, Roosevelt was now sitting in the office of the interim president, and Marshall came over to make a routine report to Roosevelt on the defense of the Eastern Front and the United States as a whole.
"Is it dangerous for the Eastern Front to begin retreating tonight?" When Roosevelt heard Marshall's plan, he looked at him and asked.
"There is danger, but it is not big, we are all in accordance with the principle of proximity, retreating troops, as long as we are fast, even if the Japanese side can find out, it will be too late, and now our troops are already retreating,
And the Japanese troops are now resting, and from the time we just gave the order, to now, an hour has passed, and I think that in 1 hour, our troops will be able to reach their target city for the most part. Marshall looked at his watch and said to Roosevelt.
"Well, that's good, Hu Bin's troops are still not moving? It is not known where his troops are yet? Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
"I don't know, it's been 3 days, and we don't know where Hu Bin's troops are, but according to the situation reported in those small cities, it may be on the Kansas City side, and it is estimated that it will take about 3 days to reach the front line.
Therefore, now we really can't stand it, so we ordered our troops to retreat, and if Hu Bin's troops could have arrived a day or two earlier, we would not have arranged for the troops to retreat.
Moreover, the Japanese side may not know where Hu Bin's troops are now, so their attacks on the front line are still very fierce. Hey, if Hu Bin's side announced that he was going to attack the Japanese troops immediately, I think the Japanese side would not dare to attack like this. Marshall looked at Roosevelt, sighed and said,
He didn't know where Hu Bin's troops were now, so he could only rely on some local reports to deduce the approximate location of Hu Bin.
"You say, can Hu Bin's troops do it? Will he be able to reverse our defeat on the Eastern Front? Roosevelt looked at Marshall and asked again.
"I don't know about this, and I hope he can, but Hu Bin's troops are a little small after all, by the way, he sent me a telegram, which was sent yesterday,
He said that he hoped that our troops would be able to cooperate with their troops in combat, and that Hu Bin would send a telegram to him if there were any specific requirements at that time, and he hoped that we would be able to meet his demands, that is, operational requirements! Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
"Operational requirements? Our troops fight with him? Roosevelt heard it, looked at Marshall and asked.
"Yes, that's what he meant." Marshall nodded.
"Now our troops, do they still have the ability to counterattack?" Roosevelt asked again.
"Yes, yes, but I think. Once our troops are engaged in a counteroffensive, our casualties can be very large! That's something we have to think about, and it's winter, so the casualties are really worse, and if it's summer, maybe it's better, and our wounded can hold out longer and wait for treatment. Marshall looked at Roosevelt and said.
"Now we are on the Eastern Front, how many troops are left, all add up, including our garrison." Roosevelt looked at Marshall and asked again.
"The total strength is 2.7 million, of which 600,000 are garrisons, 700,000 are veterans who are really capable of fighting, and the remaining 1.3 million are recruit troops. In recent times, the recruits of our second line of defense have suffered very heavy casualties! Marshall opened his mouth and reported back to Roosevelt.
"In other words, the troops we can really put into the attack are these 700,000 veteran troops?" Roosevelt then asked. Marshall nodded.
"Damn, if the casualties of these 700,000 veteran troops are too large, we will not have a counterattack force at all, and if we send new troops, the casualties will be even greater, and it will be a pity!" Roosevelt saw Marshall nodding his head and said irritably.
"But there is a problem, that is, if Hu Bin wants us to cooperate, if we don't cooperate, I think he will be dissatisfied, and then he will pull the troops away, no matter what?" Marshall was also worried about this question, looked at Roosevelt and asked.
"We just need to stabilize the first line of defense, can't Hu Bin help us do this?" Roosevelt then asked, he didn't want to use his troops to fight back. (To be continued.) )
