Chapter 3589: The situation reversed

But in fact, the subsequent series of intelligence confirmed that Lin Rui's guess was not wrong. The Orumi Federal Army has indeed taken down Drumman and the surrounding area in a very short time.
Although the French developed the world’s first "Renault" FT-17 light tank with modern tank characteristics, the French have not been very good in the development of tanks for a long time, and can be launched in major countries. The AMX-13 light tank and the AMX-30 main battle tank developed by the French were tepid, and few people were interested in them.
In contrast, the French are extremely talented in wheeled armored vehicles. Such as VBL wheeled armored vehicles and AMX-10RC wheeled assault guns. The secret agency armed this raid on Drumman, using Panhard ERC90F4 "Javelin" armored vehicle. These vehicles were originally left over by the French army during the last anti-terrorism operation in Africa. After the counter-terrorism operations ended, these armored vehicles were purchased by the Orumi Federation at a low price.
Because the number is small, and these armors themselves are not advanced equipment, they are all products of the 1970s and 1980s, and are equipped in Chad, France, Gabon, Côte d’Ivoire, Mexico, Nigeria and other countries. So the French also sold them as bargains at the processing price. Although this assault gun is not as armored as the main battle tank, it is equipped with a TTB190 turret.
The secret agency armed with five assault guns and some second-hand light armored vehicles, formed a mechanized assault battalion as the forerunner, and a large number of infantry coordinated combat methods quickly took Drumman Town. In fact, it took less than one and a half hours from the start of the war to the end of the battle. Drumman's Kanavia soldiers didn't react at all, they were shocked to pieces.
In addition, the secret agency armed assault troops took the Kanavia headquarters in Drumman town by lightning, and the commander Witkinson was captured. These Kanavians had no intention of fighting. For the secret agency’s armed forces, apart from an armored vehicle that was destroyed by a rocket launcher, and the infantry also suffered casualties, it was a complete victory. It's just that their attempt to trap Carrian using the radio of the Canavian Army Command failed.
Lin Rui and others were not fooled out of caution. But the defenders of the other town of Sodar were not so lucky. They were lured out of some troops and received a considerable blow. After barely breaking through, the tortoise shrank in the town of Sodal and did not dare to come out. After this war, the battlefield situation reversed again. If it weren't for the fact that General Carrian had been standing still, the secret society's armed forces would be hesitant. Maybe you can win Sodal in one fell swoop.
But even so, the situation after the loss of Drumman Town also caused a very large passivity to the Canavian Army.
The Supreme Command of the Canavian Army had to redeploy a regiment on the flanks to reinforce Sodal, which barely maintained the situation. But in fact, on the map, the secret society has formed a situation where the secret society is advancing from the town of Berry and the town of Drumman.
The Canavian Army was forced from a horizontal front position to gather between the two regions of Jabbas and Sodar, forming an obvious protrusion.
On the same day, Lin Rui and others stayed up all night with General Carrian and gathered at the headquarters to hold a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.
"I think we should ask for reinforcements from the Supreme Command. According to the intelligence, the enemy has used armored units. At the current situation, we can't withstand the enemy's attack." A Kanavia officer shook his head.
"Go to his armored unit, they have few armored vehicles in total. They may be able to dominate in a flat area like Drumman Town, but here, the terrain is complicated, and wheeled armor is not a tracked tank after all. Their climbing ability. Coupled with the anti-tank trenches we set up, they can be killed with a bazooka.
Another Canaverian officer shouted. "The key is that we have to prevent the enemy from encircling us from the flanks or from behind."
"Yes, especially from the rear. They took down the towns of Berry and Drumman and formed a U-shaped offensive. If they encircle from the two wings, not to mention complete the lockdown, and completely surround us, they will even cut us off. Supplies and reinforcements are enough to defeat us. The best way for the current situation is to abandon here and Sodar, retreat for a certain distance, re-level the front, and organize defenses." Another black Kanavia officer shook his head.
His views have been opposed by more people, "Nonsense, you are timid before a fight! According to your statement, if you encounter an unfavorable situation, you should withdraw, then it is better to surrender directly."
"Jabassi must never give up."
"If we withdraw without authorization, we will be treated as fleeing. General Carrian will also be in a very passive situation. Because this is not a defeat and retreat, but an active avoidance of the war. These points alone are those of the command who are dissatisfied with the general. People may make a big fuss about it."
"I don't think we can just give up Jabbas." The meeting room became a vegetable market for a while, and everyone was advocating their own opinions.
General Carrian slapped his face on the table with a slap in the face, "Shut up all! I came to you to negotiate countermeasures, not to see you quarreling and verbal abuse."
Lin Rui waved his hand to him, "The general, don't worry, you always come up with ways slowly. Since it is a negotiation and discussion, naturally you should listen to the suggestions of these officers at all levels."
"They have a fart suggestion, a bunch of brainless pigs!" General Carrian said resentfully. Being yelled at by his voice, these officers were a little afraid to speak.
Carrian turned to Black Panther Gure, "Mr. Gure, what do you suggest regarding the current situation?"
Black Panther Gulei said slowly, "In fact, what they said just now makes sense. In fact, it is nothing more than two propositions: the first one advocates preserving strength, first withdrawing moderately, and re-launching defenses. This is focused on purely military aspects. Some propositions stick to it, which focuses on other aspects. My feeling is that we can’t consider this issue so simply. We have to combine several aspects to find a relatively safe solution.

"At this point, what else is safe?" Carrian said helplessly, "I feel really in a dilemma. I didn't expect these to have so much armor, who can stand it? Honestly, if I was guarding Drumman Town, the ending will not be much better than Witkinson, it may even be worse than him."
"I think so, we will not evacuate for the time being, but we have to prepare for evacuation. Using this time, we can continue to build fortifications, and also collect the remnants of the Canavian troops that were withdrawn from Drumman Town." Lin Ruidi Said, "Because Drumman was not taken down after a hard fight, and the enemy quickly assaulted with the advantage of armor, and defeated the Canavian Army in speed without causing a large number of casualties.
A large number of soldiers were forced to disperse because of command failures. This will cause them to retreat to the nearest Canavian army station, including here. "
