Chapter 3590: Emergency response

Black Panther Gure also nodded, "Jabassi is in a special position, and it is very likely that many soldiers will retreat. We can collect these broken troops here to supplement our strength."
"It's good to add troops, but our own supply is also a problem. If we add more than a thousand people, the supply problem will become more serious." Carrian frowned.
"Yes. That's why I don't approve of evacuation for the time being. We lack supplies here because we have just regained Jabas, and we have not yet fully established a transportation supply system based on Jabas. But the town of Sodar is different. As a strategic town, they have been hoarding supplies from the beginning of preparation for war. They have enough supplies, weapons and ammunition.
If they withdraw, we will have enough supplies. In addition, after they withdraw first, the general will not have a moral burden. You can assist Sodar's friendly forces to evacuate, and then we will withdraw. No one can tell if you are not at all. The Supreme Command cannot hold you accountable. Lin Rui explained.
"You mean waiting for them to evacuate first? We retreat after them?" Carrian frowned.
"Yes. This way, apart from what I said before, you can avoid responsibility. In addition, it can also preserve the strength of the Canavian Army to the greatest extent. Sodar also has three to four thousand troops. If we withdraw first, the enemy will be extremely It is possible to completely surround them there. And if we do not withdraw, we can contain the enemy and give them a chance to withdraw safely." Lin Rui pointed to the map.
"Is this too idealistic?" Carrian frowned.
"This is not idealization. An organized retreat based on strategic purposes and defeat are two concepts. The former is to preserve the strength to the greatest extent, and the latter is a simple escape. A good force not only needs to attack, but also needs Will retreat." Black Panther Gulei said slowly.
"Then what is a good retreat?" Carrian frowned.
"Under the oppression and pursuit of the enemy, the evacuation is completed with minimal casualties or at a cost. To prevent the enemy from inflicting too much damage on one's own side during the pursuit, this is the best retreat." Lin Rui replied, "At present, The town of Dal was ambushed and trapped on three sides. In order to avoid further failure, their only way was to evacuate.
But during the evacuation process, they are bound to be pursued by enemy forces. The enemy has armor, but the Canavian army stationed in Sodar has only two legs. And once it retreats, it is equivalent to giving up all the advantages of the defending side. So this must be something that the Sodar defenders are considering. But if we can stop the enemy forces and cover their withdrawal, the situation is different. "
"But doesn't this draw the enemy to our side?" a black officer hesitated.
"Yes. But the terrain of Jabbas is favorable. Both we and the secret agency have established multiple lines of defense here, and anti-tank trenches are also under emergency construction. This allows us to delay the enemy's armored forces from surprise attacks. At present. Only we can provide cover to assist Sodar's defenders in the evacuation. We can also receive extra supplies from them. After they evacuate, we will re-form a line of defense with them in the area west of Lake Emma." Lin Rui Pointing to the map, "This is the best solution."
"What if we withdraw first?" an officer asked.
"If we retreat first, Sodar’s defenders will be wiped out. And we have no chance to reintegrate the defeated troops from Drumman. There are no extra supplies and supplies, even if we evacuate to the west of Lake Emma, There is no way to organize an effective defense.
We will face the Orumi Federal Army with a certain degree of mechanization with the current more than 6,000 people, without sufficient fortifications and supplies, and their strength will exceed ours by nearly half. If you think there is no problem even in this way, then I have nothing to say. "Lin Rui shook his head.
General Carrian shook his head and said, "This result is equivalent to exposing the entire central Canavia area to the enemy."
"It's true." Black Panther Gure nodded, "So General, we must now contact Sodar's defenders and let them retreat, and we will cover them, otherwise it will be like this."
Karian stood up and said to a Kanavia officer next to him, "Immediately contact the Sodar Command, tell them this situation, and ask them to evacuate immediately."
"General, how do you contact them? After the defeat of the Drumman defenders, our text code should have been leaked. If we contact them again on shortwave radio, it might be difficult to keep them secret." The officer whispered.
"Activate the backup code. Use the Mora language to contact. Mora is a small language, but the commander of the Sodar garrison is a Mora, he can understand this." Carrian whispered. "Tell them this is my order."
"Aren't we going to report this to the Supreme Command? Will it be possible to mobilize troops like this..." the officer hesitated.
General Carrian was furious and slapped the table with a slap, "I am still the chief of staff appointed by the Supreme Command. I have the right to deploy defenses and mobilize my troops according to the actual situation on the battlefield. In addition, General Witkinson was Prisoner, I am currently the highest-ranking person here, and I have command over all the current troops."
"Yes General, I'll do it now." The officer nodded quickly.
At noon that day, the Sodar defenders began to retreat. They did not retreat directly, but completed the retreat from the flank of Jabas. A large number of supplies were left to General Carrian and others in Jabas. The secret agency armed forces were not unaware of their evacuation, but during the pursuit, they were stubbornly blocked by the Canavian army from Jabas. Related information was immediately notified to the Red Baron.
With a slight frown, the Red Baron understood the intentions of the Canavian Army. "They want to use Jabbas's special underground to block us and cover the withdrawal of Sodar's garrison."
"Baron, do we want to pursue..." White Glove White asked.
"No, this is not very effective. Because of the special terrain, the hilly area, and the large number of fortifications before, the ravines are vertical and horizontal. Our armored forces are difficult to break through, and the infantry attack is very poor. We are now launching a pursuit. It’s not cost-effective. Tell the frontline troops not to chase too much, but they must be pressured. In addition, they will be sent to occupy Sodar immediately after they leave. When our situation is dominant, it is not advisable to be too aggressive, and we will speak steadily." The Red Baron groaned, "No matter what, we still control their three major border towns."
