Differences of opinion

After the Black Mamba and the other mercenaries arrived at the south bank of the Kem River, Lin Rui had already arrived with several other companies.

After Lin Rui received the Black Mamba's battle report on Clover Town, he had already rushed to the south bank of the Kem River.

At the South Bank position, Commander Hodgson was sitting on pins and needles. Seeing Lin Rui and others arriving, he hurriedly greeted him out of the headquarters.

Lin Rui entered the headquarters under the bunker, looked at the surrounding situation, and frowned.

Commander Hodgson quickly explained, "The temporary headquarters has just been withdrawn, and everything is a little messy, please don't mind."

"The other positions are not much better than yours. We are not here to be guests. Let's talk about the current battle situation." Lin Rui nodded.

Commander Hodgson asked someone to take the map, "At present, several of our positions on the flanks have been lost, and the 4th Battalion suffered heavy losses and has now been withdrawn.

A large number of enemy troops are now threatening our main positions on the south bank. My concern is that they will use the flanking position as a springboard and go straight to our side and rear.

Therefore, a team was temporarily dispatched to strengthen the flank defense. So far it looks pretty good. The enemy is now at a standstill in this position.

But the overall threat has not been lifted. "

Lin Rui looked at the map and nodded, "According to the normal pre-war deployment, several surrounding positions can provide firepower assistance to the flanking positions.

Moreover, the strength of the fourth battalion was more than enough to hold the flank positions. How could they collapse so quickly. "

Commander Hodgson was a little embarrassed, "We are completely following the orders of the Union Command. However, the 4th Battalion did not issue a rescue order.

It is not known whether it is a communication problem or a command error. When the 4th Battalion was attacked, the surrounding troops did not respond in time. "

"Without sending an order for help, or even reporting to the headquarters, I retreated on my own, but I committed a major taboo." Black Mamba said slowly.

"Where's the commander of the 4th Battalion?" Lin Rui asked with a sullen face.

"The battalion commander of the 4th battalion was killed, and their deputy battalion commander is currently in command of the troops. They have just arrived, and I have informed their deputy battalion commander to come over." General Hodgson nodded.

About a few minutes later, the deputy commander of the 4th Battalion arrived. The deputy battalion commander seemed to be injured, but after a simple bandage, he looked embarrassed.

When Lin Rui asked about the situation, the deputy battalion commander was also full of grievances.

"We sent out four requests for help in total. But there was no response from the headquarters.

Our entire battalion suffered heavy losses, and in the end we couldn't hold it any longer. If you don't withdraw, you will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy.

Our battalion commander also sent out four or five reports requesting evacuation. These battalions have records there. However, no reinforcements have been seen, and there has been no clear answer from the headquarters to approve or reject the evacuation request.

We really just pulled back out of desperation. ' the deputy battalion commander of the 4th battalion tried his best to explain.

"General Hodgson, what's going on?" Lin Rui turned his head and asked.

"I don't know, maybe we were evacuating at the time. The communications company didn't receive the information in time." General Hodgson replied.

"Even if the command headquarters is evacuating, smooth communication must be ensured. The failure of the battle because of communication failure is a great responsibility." Lin Rui replied.

"I understand, but the enemy attacked aggressively at that time. We fell into chaos here, in order to ensure that our army's front-line headquarters would not be defeated by the enemy.

We had to evacuate urgently, and it was inevitable that some mistakes would be made in the process. ' explained General Hodgson.

"But because of such a so-called mistake, the 4th Battalion was almost wiped out. Such a mistake is unforgivable." Lin Rui interrupted him, "All relevant personnel must be responsible."

General Hodgson nodded, "I will definitely investigate this matter severely and investigate the relevant responsibilities. But the main thing now is that we have to solve the current trouble.

The Oromi Federation Army has occupied our army's flank positions, and it is very likely that they will continue to threaten the safety of Pinestone Town to the west, or advance southwestward and threaten our army's Mirto line of defense. "

Lin Rui nodded, "It is indeed possible, but so far. The biggest trouble is not the flanking position.

According to reports from our reconnaissance troops, enemy forces are still gathering strength in front of our main positions. It is very possible to break through the main position in one fell swoop. Directly attack the defense line of the Kem River. "

"That's even more trouble. Once the main position is breached, both the Pinestone and Mirto flanks will be threatened, so I suggest that we spread our current forces to the Pinestone and Mirto flanks to strengthen the defense." General Hodgson replied. .

"The general means that you have to abandon the main position on the south bank of the Kem River. Evacuate to Pinestone Town and Mirto." Lin Rui turned to look at General Hodgson.

"The enemy army is coming, and we can't hold it head-on. So I think it's necessary to retreat temporarily." General Hodgson explained.

"But don't forget, the general, the command given to you by the headquarters is to stick to the south bank position. If you disobey the order and evacuate, it will lead to a major crisis in the Kenmu River defense line." Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"But in the current situation, I can't take care of that much anymore. If I stick to it, these troops under my command may all be explained here.

Even if the main position on the south bank of the Kem River is lost, there will still be our north bank fortress group. But my brethren under my command were all finished, and it was over.

Not only have we lost our positions, but there is even a chance to counterattack. We no longer have enough troops to organize a counterattack. ' General Hodgson shook his head.

"General, don't forget~www.readwn.com~ You are not only responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Kem River. It is also the gate of the entire Anmore.

If the position on the south bank is lost, the enemy will directly cross the river and attack the fortress group on the north bank of the Kem River.

Once this layer of defense is broken again, the enemy will bypass our carefully organized defense system and drive straight in from the Kem River side.

This is the biggest threat to us, and the biggest threat to the entire Anmore war. " Lin Rui replied.

"But if I stay here, it is clear that I will have to fight the enemy to the death. The 4th Battalion has almost been eliminated, and the other battalions are also under enormous pressure.

Under such circumstances, the main position on the south bank of the Kem River may have been difficult to hold. Rather than put troops here and the enemy to consume further, it is better to take a step back and wait for the opportunity. exclaimed General Hodgson.

"There is no chance. If you retreat, the pressure on the fortress group on the north bank of the Kem River will increase greatly. We will readjust the deployment and reinforce the north bank defense line for a certain period of time. This time is enough for the enemy to form a breakthrough opportunity." Lin Rui is serious.
