Sorry, it was a typo. I mean "decrease"
Sredni:
To add confusion, let me say that in certain conditions you can actually see base current change with VCE.
If you do not pull the base toward a fixed voltage, VBE can be seen changing appreciably with VCE. You need a very big resistance in base, so some might argue that VBE actually changes when IB=0, but if I can measure VBE with an ordinary voltmeter

(see page 2. the last pictures)
...then we must conclude that a base current proportional to the base-emitter voltage is actually flowing due to the applied VCE.
