Black Panther Gu Lei also nodded and said, "Jabbasi is in a special position, and it is very likely that many soldiers will retreat. We can collect these defeated troops here to replenish our troops."

"Supplying troops is good, but our own supply is also a problem. If we add more than a thousand people, the supply problem will be even more serious." Karian frowned.

"That's right. That's why I'm not in favor of evacuation for the time being. We're short of supplies here because we've just recaptured Jabba and haven't fully established a Jabba-based transport supply system. But Sodar Town is different, where it started at the beginning. As a strategic town, they have been hoarding supplies since preparations 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 have no moral burden. You can assist Sodar's friendly forces to withdraw, and then we will withdraw. No one can say that you are not at all. The High Command cannot hold you accountable either. "Lin Rui explained.

"You mean to wait for them to retreat first? We retreat after them?" Karian frowned.

"That's right. In addition to what I said before, it can avoid responsibility. In addition, it can also preserve the strength of the Canavia Army to the greatest extent. Sodar also has three or four thousand troops. If we withdraw first, the enemy will be extremely strong. It is possible to completely surround them there. And if we don't withdraw, we can contain the enemy and give them a chance to withdraw safely." Lin Rui pointed at the map.

"Is this a little too idealistic?" Karian frowned.

"This is not an idealization. An organized retreat based on strategic purposes and a rout are two concepts. The former is to preserve strength to the greatest extent possible, while the latter is simply to escape. A good army not only needs to be able to attack, but also needs to be able to attack. I will retreat." Black Panther Gu Lei said slowly.

"Then what makes a good retreat?" Karian frowned.

"Under the oppression and pursuit of the enemy, complete the evacuation with minimal casualties or cost. Avoid the enemy causing too much damage to oneself in the process of taking advantage of the situation. This is the best way to retreat." Lin Rui replied, "So far Dahl was ambushed and surrounded on three sides, and the only way to avoid further defeat was to evacuate.

But in the process of evacuation, they are bound to be pursued by the enemy. The enemy had armor, but the Canavia army stationed in Sodar had only two legs. And once retreated, it would be equivalent to giving up all the advantages that were originally on the defensive side. So this must be something the Sodar defenders are considering. But if we can stop the enemy troops and cover their withdrawal, the situation will be different. "

"But didn't this attract the enemy to our side?" a black officer hesitated.

"Yes. But the terrain of Jabba is favorable. We and the secret society have established multiple defense lines here, and the anti-tank trenches are also being urgently built. This makes us have a certain ability to delay the raid of the opponent's armored forces. Currently Only we can provide cover and assist Sodar's defenders to evacuate. We can also receive excess supplies from them. After they evacuate, we will re-form a defense line with them in the 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 withdraw first, Sodar's defenders will be wiped out. And we have no chance to regroup the defeated army from Drumman. There is no excess material and supplies, even if we withdraw to the west of Lake Emma, There is no way to organize an effective defense.

With the current 6,000-odd people, we will face the Orumi Federation Army with certain mechanized capabilities without sufficient fortifications and supplies, and their strength will exceed nearly half of ours. If you think that even this is okay, 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 Kanavia region to the enemy."

"Indeed." Black Panther Gu Lei nodded. "So General, we must now contact Sodar's defenders to let them retreat, and we will cover for them, otherwise it will be like this."

Carrian got up and said to a Kanavia officer beside him, "Contact the Sodar command immediately, tell them about the situation, and let them evacuate immediately."

"General, how do I contact them? After the defeat of the Drumman garrison, our message code should have been leaked. If we contact them via shortwave radio, it may be difficult to keep it secret." The officer whispered.

"Activate the backup password. Use the language of the Mora tribe. The Mora language is a small language, but the Sodar garrison commander is a Mora tribe, and he can understand this." Karian whispered. "Tell them this is my order."

"Aren't we going to report this situation to the Supreme Command? If we mobilize the troops without authorization, will it..." the officer hesitated.

General Carrian was furious and slapped the table, "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. Prisoner, I am currently the highest rank here, and I have command over all current troops."

"Yes General, I'll do it now." The officer nodded quickly.

At noon that day, the Sodar defenders were ordered to retreat~www.readwn.com~ They did not retreat directly, but completed the retreat from Jabbas's flank. A large number of supplies were left to General Carrian and others in Jabbas. The secret society armed forces were not unaware of their evacuation, but during the pursuit, they were stubbornly blocked by the Canavia Army from Jabbas. The relevant information was immediately notified to the Red Baron.

With a slight frown, the Red Baron understood the intentions of the Canavia Army, "They want to use Jabbas' special underground to stop us and cover the evacuation of Sodar's garrison."

"Baron, do we want to pursue..." White Gloves asked.

"No, this is not very effective. Because of the special terrain of Jabba, it is in a hilly area, and with a large number of fortifications before, there are ravines and ravines. It is difficult for our armored troops to penetrate, and the effect of infantry attacks is very poor. We are now launching a pursuit. It’s not worth it. Tell the frontline troops not to pursue too much, but you must put pressure on them. In addition, send someone to occupy Sodar immediately after they withdraw. When our situation is dominant, it is not advisable to be too aggressive. The Red Baron pondered, "No matter what, we still control their three major border towns."
