1211 Roosevelt asked Marshall, can he stabilize the first line of defense without using his own troops, so that they don't have to pay such a big price, now the recruit troops have not been trained, and now they are sent to the battlefield, for the soldiers, it is very cruel, and for their country, it is also a huge loss.

"I'm afraid this won't work, I don't think Hu Bin will agree, before he marched to our side, he made a request to us, asking our troops to cooperate with him in the battle, saying that he wanted to completely annihilate the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front." Marshall looked at Roosevelt and said.

"Annihilation?" The other cabinet members heard and looked at Marshall and asked.

"Yes, that's what he said!" Marshall nodded and said.

"How is it possible, Japan has two or three million troops on the Eastern Front, how can it be completely annihilated, if all the Japanese troops are annihilated, I think, there are not many troops left in our country. We don't want total annihilation, we just need to repel the Japanese troops. A cabinet member said to Marshall.

"Yes, we don't have the luxury of annihilating everything, as long as we can beat the Japanese troops out of our country." The others heard it and nodded their heads.

"However, Hu Bin made this request, and from our military point of view, if we completely annihilate the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front, it will be of great benefit to our country.

In other places, we can also launch a counteroffensive, and if we don't cooperate with the battle, I think Hu Bin may let his troops retreat in a fit of anger. And if his troops retreat, we will find ourselves in trouble again on the Eastern Front, which is a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, I also ask you to think about it, if we don't cooperate with Hu Bin, what kind of price will we pay, now we are on the Eastern Front, between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, there are 2 cities occupied by Japanese troops, and the people inside have suffered heavy losses.

Although we don't know what the situation is over there, but black smoke is coming out of the city, and I think you can also think of the consequences, if the entire defense line completely collapses, and the Japanese troops fight street battles on our side, then our entire city will be destroyed, and the people inside will also be slaughtered terribly.

Also, the other two places will be attacked by Japan again, so I hope you can think about it, and this matter is very important to us. Marshall said, looking at the cabinet members.

When they heard this, they all looked at each other.

"Could it be that our troops in the United States still have to let Hu Bin command them, they are here to help us fight, not to command us to fight, we just need to drive out the Japanese troops, and we don't need to be completely annihilated." A cabinet member said with great dissatisfaction.

"That's right, just communicate with Hu Bin and ask him to help us beat the Japanese troops out, and we don't need to annihilate the Japanese troops!" Another cabinet member sighed as well.

And Marshall heard it, and sighed in his heart, he knew that it was difficult to convince those cabinet members, they didn't know how difficult the front line was, and they didn't know that once the Japanese troops could not be completely annihilated this time, then next, the United States might lose even more, and it would also make Hu Bin dissatisfied, and Hu Bin would not be like this now, and he would come over to help, and Hu Bin might not care about it at that time.

"General Marshall, what's your opinion? Tell me about it! Roosevelt looked at Marshall next to him and asked.

"Support Hu Bin, use the old troops in our city, cooperate with Hu Bin's troops to fight, recruit troops, defend the city!" Marshall spoke.

"What if the veteran troops are lost?" A member of the inner guard asked.

"If we don't fight, in the future, our country will have to bear even greater losses, and if we want to fight Japan's troops, we will have to kill them at once, and we can't let him relax." Marshall looked at them and said.

"Damn it!" Those who were members of the cabinet heard it and cursed.

"General Marshall, you go back and rest first, and we will discuss it again, and I will tell you what the results are. In addition, Hu Bin's side continues to contact, we now need him to come over to support us in the battle, instead of hiding in one place.

For Hu Bin's troops, our country has paid a huge price, I hope this price is worth it, of course, Hu Bin's troops did fight very well on the Western Front before, this is completely worth it, but I hope it will be worth it on the Eastern Front! Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.

"Yes, I think, it's definitely worth it." Marshall nodded and said.

"Good! I hope so, too! Roosevelt smiled and nodded.

When Marshall saw him like this, he immediately left, and after leaving the provisional presidential palace, he sighed.

He knew that now the United States had to make changes, and if those cabinet members were still allowed to look at their troops like this, the soldiers below would definitely have a big opinion if they knew.

They made such a big sacrifice on the front line, in the eyes of those cabinets, it seemed that they were not important at all, and their generals couldn't sleep at night in order to be able to hold the line, but they were still regarded as incompetent by those cabinet people.

You can't let the generals below know about such a thing, and if you do, you don't know what kind of big thing will come out.

Soon, Marshall was at his own headquarters.

"Have you contacted Hu Bin's troops?" As soon as Marshall entered the headquarters, he asked the staff officers who greeted him.

"Not yet, but the Japanese side has sent a lot of troops to the back, and I guess they also know that Hu Bin's troops may be coming, but I think they don't know where Hu Bin's troops are.

In addition, just now, our troops have withdrawn, and in some places they have been discovered by Japanese troops, and they have pursued them, causing considerable casualties to our troops. One of the staff officers asked, looking at Marshall.

"How many casualties?" Marshall asked.

"I don't know yet, the troops are still fighting, but most of the troops still managed to retreat to the city, and now the Japanese troops are also keeping up, and the troops who have been caught up are all retreating from a relatively long distance, and they are still on the way to retreat, and they are caught up by the Japanese troops!" The staff officer said again.

Marshall heard it, nodded, and then went to the command hall, where Marshall stood in front of the huge sand table, looking at the latest situation inside.

"Damn, why can't Hu Bin tell us where his troops are? This makes our troops too passive! Marshall scolded a little dissatisfiedly at this time, and now he urgently needed to know where Hu Bin's troops were.

"Commander, I have a guess, Hu Bin's troops won't be coming, right?" A staff officer spoke.

"No way, their troops have set off, and we have been in touch before! It's just that there is no news these days! Marshall shook his head.

"But why didn't they send us a telegram telling us where their troops were at critical times?" Another staff officer asked.

"Maybe he has his scruples, but his troops must be coming, this is for sure, the Chinese side has already given him an order, and he doesn't dare not come." Marshall said, looking at the map.

At this time, on Hu Bin's side, they had just finished eating, Hu Bin was lying in the warehouse, covering himself with the quilt, leaning on Mu Qiang, there was a fire next to him, the other staff officers had begun to prepare to rest, and Hu Bin was holding the latest marked combat map and looking at it.

"Brother Bin!" Huang Wenjin lit a cigarette and handed it to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin took it, took a sip, and said to Huang Wenjin: "Tomorrow, after taking Chicago, the troops will divide into two routes, all the way to the east to continue the attack, attacking Gary City, all the way to the north, attacking Milwaukee and Madison.

However, I reckon that the devils in Milwaukee and Madison, knowing that we have attacked the troops in Chicago, will definitely come south to support, and when the time comes, there will be an encounter.

Wen Jin, you take your army, I will mobilize 2 more infantry divisions for you, go to Milwaukee, my troops will prepare to attack Gary, and then the troops from other places will also be defended.

Tomorrow day, in these four places, these four places, there are about 200,000 devils, of which more than 70,000 are in Chicago, and there are three places left, and there are not many troops.

And in these four cities, judging from the previous report from the United States, I estimate that there are still about 150,000 United States troops, all of whom are veteran troops, I think, let them help us defend the north when the time comes, and your troops will come and gather with us, ready to continue to fight to the east! Hu Bin pointed to the map and whispered to Huang Wenjin.

"Done! However, Brother Bin, do you mean that you want to stop the waist and cut off the devil's retreat? This is a bit unrealistic, right, there are so many troops on the devil's side? It's dangerous for us to fight like this! Huang Wenjin looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"Why should I cut him off, I want to make such a posture to make Okamura Ningji think that I will do this, so that his troops will attack us on both sides, and when the time comes, our troops will retreat, and Xiang Feng's troops will move, you know?" Hu Bin explained to Huang Wenjin.

"Oh, if that's the case, it's okay, but, Brother Bin, if we fight and retreat, what will happen to the United States? Will they be able to agree? Huang Wenjin looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"What can't you agree with, his soldiers are still in the city, our troops have at least eliminated a lot of devils, he doesn't agree, I don't agree yet!" Hu Bin heard it, and said with a smile in his mouth. (To be continued.) )
