Chapter 742 Self-help
At this time, about 50 miles in front of the Malai position, Chinese tanks drove out on the edge of the forest, hundreds of tanks rumbling, followed by trucks. The infantry of the Armored Division is now following, followed by the 99th Division's troops, and now they are also following. △¢The torrent of steel began to drive towards Malai, and at this time, a roar came from the sky.
"Look, our country's fighter jets are guarding us!" A soldier pointed at the more than 10 fighter jets in the sky and said excitedly.
The blue sky and white sun flag under the wings of the fighter jet is very obvious, and they can find that it is a fighter jet of their own country.
Xiang Feng was standing at the position of a heavy machine gun, looking at the plane in the sky, and laughed very happily. He thought that when he was in Shanxi, there were only a few people who wanted to block the attack of the two infantry regiments of the Japanese. When he was in Henan, his troops had to worry about the revenge of the Japanese plane after killing the Japanese. Now, his troops also had tanks and planes.
On the Japanese side, they have not received any information about when Hu Bin's troops will attack, but they are ready to know that Chinese troops will definitely come to attack.
"Weng~" Suddenly, in the sky, the sound of the roar of the plane engine came.
"It's a bomber, Chinese bomber, please get the air defense alarm!" At the command of a division, a division commander saw with a telescope that the plane in the sky belonged to China, and immediately shouted.
"Woo woo woo woo woo~" After a while, the harsh sound of an air defense alarm came from the entire position, and all the Japanese soldiers entered the bunkers and air raid shelters.
"No, their target is the artillery position behind us. Hurry up, send telegrams to the artillery position. Chinese bombers are heading for them!" The division commander shouted loudly, and the staff behind immediately sent telegrams to the artillery position.
"Wen~~" More than a dozen bombers flew towards the Japanese artillery positions. Although the artillery also knew about it, they had no way to transfer the artillery and could only hide in the air raid shelter.
"Discover the target and prepare to drop bombs!" At this time, an aviation squadron leader who led the bombing received a report from the observer behind and began to use the radio madman to notify other aircraft.
"Prepare to drop bombs!" the squadron leader said again.
"Prepare to drop bombs!" After receiving the order, the pilots of other aircraft also used the radio to order the bombers behind them to open the hatch door!
“h0037 is ready!”
"h0042 is ready!"... Soon, the pilots of the plane immediately sent an order to the squadron leader.
At this time, the plane was about to reach the sky above the artillery positions.
"Follow me, drop bombs, three cycles!" the squadron leader said.
"Yes! Blasting!"
"Yes, drop bombs!"... The pilots of other bombers heard it and immediately began to repeat the orders.
The Japanese soldiers on the ground immediately retreated into the air raid shelter when they saw the plane dropping rows of bombs.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!" Soon, a violent explosion occurred in the entire artillery position, and many cannons were blown up, and the shells that had not yet been moved in were quickly ignited, and a second explosion occurred.
After completing the first round of bomb drops, the bombers turned around in front, flew over again, and made the second bomb drop. After three bomb drops, the bombers began to go back under the escort of fighter jets.
The entire artillery position was already in a mess, and some places were still burning.
"Damn it, China really has bombers. These bombers are not from the United States. The United States did not have such bombers before, and this bomber is even bigger!" The commander of the division below said immediately after seeing the planes back.
He had fought in the Philippines and the United States troops and knew what American planes looked like. He had never seen these planes in the sky before.
"Report, the bomber bombed the Japanese artillery positions and the reconnaissance plane is now observing the effects, and the results will come out soon!" A consultant came to Hu Bin and said.
At this time, Hu Bin was working on the map, marking the direction to attack in the next step.
"Okay, where has Xiang Feng's troops arrived?" Hu Bin nodded and said.
"Report, it's half an hour since we set out, and it's expected that we will arrive at the Malay front in half an hour. Our armored troops are advancing very fast!" Another staff officer next to him immediately reported.
"Okay, order Xiang Feng's troops to wait for a moment after they arrive on the front line and start attacking immediately. Now our attack must be fast. Our air force troops cannot bear the responsibility. They need time to train." Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.
"Commander, the infantry troops have set out, and there are fighter jets escorting. There is no problem!" Li Dalong came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.
"Very good!" Hu Bin nodded and said, his eyes still staring at the map.
Now he is considering his next combat plan, because the next combat plan is very important. After defeating Malai and Meiliao, Hu Bin must consider clearly how to fight in the next step!
"Commander, are you considering hitting Mandalay directly?" Li Dalong asked Hu Bin after seeing Hu Bin's homework on the map.
"Well, I have this consideration. I don't know yet. I only know after fighting. The Japanese are not that easy to deal with. However, it depends on how we fight on the front line. Now the troops have gone out and how they fight, it depends on how the commanders on the front line command. I told them about the combat missions, and they decided on how to fight. Now we have to consider what's ahead!" Hu Bin nodded and said calmly.
"Commander, wait a moment, can you come over?" Li Dalong felt that Hu Bin was in a wrong mood, so he immediately asked Hu Bin to stop, hoping to talk to Hu Bin.
"What's wrong?" Hu Bin raised his head in confusion and asked at Li Dalong.
"Come here!" Li Dalong said and walked towards the conference room. Hu Bin put down the pencil in his hand and thought for a while. He didn't know what he was asking for, but he still followed him. After arriving at the conference room, Li Dalong saw Hu Bin coming in and closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and asked.
"Xiaobin, have you not had a good rest recently? Or do you feel that the pressure is too great!" Li Dalong asked at Hu Bin.
"There is no rest well, and there is indeed pressure. However, why are you asking this?" Hu Bin started to say this when he heard him say this, but he didn't know why he asked this.
"Xiaobin, you are in a bad mood recently. This morning, the Air Force won a battle. I didn't see you happy. Now our armored troops have also been dispatched. It is probably only a matter of time to defeat Malai, but I didn't see you happy either.
Now that you are like this, the entire commander's staff feel a little depressed. I don't know what went wrong. So, I want to ask you, what happened?" Li Dalong said, lit two cigarettes, then handed Hu Bin one, Hu Bin took it, put it in his mouth and took a few puffs, and then became silent.
"What the hell is going on? Xiaobin? You have to know that you are the supreme commander of the more than 300,000 troops now. Your emotions will affect the emotions of the entire army. You used to be very free and easy, and you were not afraid of the world. What's wrong now? There are still things that scare you?" Li Dalong asked again when he saw Hu Bin not speaking.
"There are so many things that scare me!" Hu Bin took the words.
"Let me tell me, Xiaobin, you can't do this now, you must adjust it well. You have to know that the commander's confidence directly affects the confidence of the entire army during combat." Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin with concern and said.
"You are right. I have been in a devil for the past few days, Made!" Hu Bin touched his head and said.
When I was at the airport this morning, Hu Bin wanted to say some words of encouragement, but I didn’t know what was going on, but I just couldn’t say it out, and I felt so upset!
"What the hell is going on? Let me tell you and analyze it. Now that you are like this, I am very worried that a bad situation will occur!" Li Dalong said to Hu Bin.
"Hu!" Hu Bin heard it and exhaled.
"Are you under pressure to face the Japanese in Mandalay now? It's normal to have pressure on this. There are more than 700,000 troops in Japan, and there may be more troops to reinforce at any time. The Japanese just want to kill our troops!" Li Dalong asked at Hu Bin.
"Faced with the Japanese, I don't have any pressure. I don't take those Japanese seriously. As long as we defeated Malai and without the help of the Air Force, I can kill them. I don't worry about the Japanese in Mandalay. What I worry about is the domestic situation! And the entire international situation!
Now you also know that with tanks and planes, the balance between Yan'an and Chongqing will be broken. I don't know how the country will go in the future! Now that the enemy is in the face of great enemies, the country really cannot have trouble, and it cannot fight by itself. If it fights by itself, the Japanese will get a big advantage.
But Chongqing will definitely be worried about our Yan'an, and the situation in India. If I were a Japanese, I would rather die here 2 million people than let this army go north. But do you know? We must go north now, not to kill Japanese, but to save ourselves!" Hu Bin said as he looked at Li Dalong.
