Chapter 2209: Dying to live

Le Ansen's headquarters was also shabby, but a half-collapsed building was slightly covered with military green canvas. Some black officers have gathered together, waiting for their arrival.
After Le Ansen and others entered, these black officers all stood up and saluted. Le Ansen waved his hand, "Sit down. Let me introduce them. These are the people of the Black Island Military Company. Mr. Rick and his people have formed a military advisory group. They will guide us out of the current predicament."
Lin Rui nodded, "Fortunately meeting. But we still don't waste time making introductions. We want to know the current situation of the battle."
General Le Anson nodded and whispered to a black man next to him, "You can explain it."
"Yes, General." The black officer stood up, walked to the map, and began to explain the current situation. It was okay if he didn't talk about it. After finishing the talk, Lin Rui knew how bad the current situation of this resistance army was. The Orumi Federal Army forces have almost controlled the entire south, and the Resistance has been suppressed to the southernmost corner. Fortunately, they have not been completely defeated, but they are indeed helpless.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "How many people and armaments you have at present, I mean those who can still participate in combat."
"The total number is more than 5,000, and there are more than 4,000 who can participate in combat. This is the figure after adding the other two guerrillas withdrawing here yesterday. In terms of armed forces, we have some combat vehicles and light weapons and bazookas." The black officer replied,
It’s mainly supplies. Our current supplies are already getting nervous. Although this is an oasis, food is still scarce. Our food is mainly provided by several nearby towns. Since they were also attacked, food The supply began to decrease significantly."
The black officer pointed to the map and said, "Our current food and oil are mainly provided by two local tribal armed forces that are still supporting us. But this situation will not last long."
"That's why the Orumi Federal Army did not rush to exterminate them. They know that you are trapped here, and there will be a shortage of food supply soon. Then it will fall apart." Jiang An whispered. "Under such circumstances, they really don't need to do anything. They just need to wait briefly to make you surrender because your supplies are exhausted."
"We will not surrender. We would rather die in battle than surrender." A black officer shouted.
"Gentlemen, I admire your determination, but determination cannot be eaten as a meal. Once you are hungry for a few days, even if you want to fight with all your strength, your body won't let it go." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "You are currently The biggest problem is to try to solve the supply problem as soon as possible. General Le Ansen, how many more towns are in your control?"
"There are still three or four. But our contact with each other has also been severed." Le Ansen whispered, "They are all fighting on their own, and they may retreat at any time."
Lin Rui looked at the map and said decisively, "This desert oasis will not last long. You must leave this place immediately. Otherwise, when the surrounding towns are completely controlled, you will be a lone army trapped in the desert."
"But how do you leave? The Orumi government forces are encircling us. If it were really that simple, we would not retreat here step by step." A black officer frowned.
"Yes, that's the mentality. When you think there is no hope anymore, so are your opponents. They would never expect that under this situation, you would have a Jedi counterattack." Lin Rui paced back and forth. , "To be honest, your number is limited, only by surprise. You can win some opportunities."
"Counter-attack? Are we going to rush out again? If that's the case, we might not even be able to keep this last desert oasis." A black officer whispered.
Lin Rui said to Jiang An, "Actuarial, tell them the reason for doing this."
Jiang An nodded and walked to the map, "You are only guerrillas, so the understanding of war is still limited to small-scale operations. But behind the Orumi Federation, there is the support of secret agencies, a powerful military organization, and they are very professional. Judging from the situation on this map, the same is true. In addition to their superior strength, they are also significantly higher than you in tactics. By occupying several key important towns, they have formed a local advantage over you, and will force you a little bit. Enter the Jedi. Without paying too much, you will lose most of the territory you previously seized in chaos."
Le Ansen nodded, "It is true."
"This oasis where we are is not only a shelter, but also the only way to escape from the southwest. From the secret society's point of view, you must either escape and enter other countries. Or stick to this place for the last insistence. They would never expect you to return. Dare to take a deadly blow. Of course, they will also have defenses, but the main defense is on your northern front line. That is the key to suppressing your military." Jiang An looked at the map and said.
"Yes, they did block many of our main roads to the north and surrounding towns." The black officer nodded.
"This is a clever trick, but it is also a flaw. Because they will not easily give up the northern line, they will be relatively weak in other areas. Look at the map, in several towns close to the northern line, your people have been defeated one after another. . And the few towns that are still under your control are all concentrated in the east. This just shows that in these areas, their military strength is not very strong." Jiang An pointed to the map.
"This...it could be the case." The black officer nodded.
"Why?" Jiang An asked back.
"Because they don't believe that we will escape from there. Because if we intend to break through there, we are giving up the last escape route behind us. Once this happens, they can smoothly copy our back road. "The black officer whispered.
"Yes, that's what they think. But this has become their inertial thinking, that is, they think you will not break through there. In military operations, everything is changing, and any rigid and fixed way of thinking is It may lead to failure. This time is an opportunity you can take advantage of. Break through from the southeast and complete the rendezvous with the other guerrillas there. Then bypass their defenses and intersperse to the rear of the Orumi Federation Forces." Lin Rui took the pen from the black officer and drew a line on the map.
"Either put it to death and live after death!" Lin Rui turned to look at everyone and said, "Or just admit defeat like this."
