The phone was already ringing quickly. After receiving the call, a staff officer hurried to General Edgar Rondo and whispered to him.

"What did you say?" General Edgar Rondo grabbed his neckline and roared loudly. "You say it again."

The staff officer was a little nervous and said, "Area 24 suffered an air attack, and we suffered heavy losses. The other side dispatched a fighter plane and bombed the 24th area."

"Isn't it already deployed air defense? How could this be?" General Edgar Rondo said angrily.

"General, calm down. You rely on antiaircraft artillery and short-range missiles to form an air defense system that cannot be foolproof. In fact, the Moroccan fighters are quite advanced." Lin Rui shook his head.

"Send reinforcements immediately," General Edgar Rondo said loudly.

"General, the correct approach now is not to send reinforcements, but to immediately withdraw from Height 24." Lin Rui pointed to the map and said, "The enemy army is determined to win Height 24, so they will not stop after just one round of air strikes. There will definitely be a second or even third round of air strikes later.

To avoid heavy casualties, the team must withdraw from the 24th area. Other reinforcements should not go to the 24th area to avoid unnecessary casualties. "

"What are you talking about? The 24th area is very important and the main support point for the entire front. Once the 24th area is lost, our entire front will not be able to defend." General Edgar Rondo said in surprise.

"That's the case. Since the entire front cannot be held, it's better for us to retreat across the board." Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Knowing that we will lose, actively evacuate and retain vitality. This is the wisest choice."

"No! I will never retreat!" General Edgar Rondo shouted. "I will fight the enemy to the death."

"The enemy will not die, and you will not die, but the soldiers under your hand will die." Lin Rui raised his voice, "We have limited forces. We are the most irresponsible commander if we persist in fighting when we know we will lose. the behavior of.

At present, around the ceasefire zone, we have only 6 regiments. The newly expanded personnel, plus the personnel who had previously incorporated local armed forces, add up to 7 regiments at full capacity.

The enemy has the advantage of surprise attacks, and they have armored forces and air dominance. If you choose to fight the enemy hard at this time, these 6 regiments are equivalent to the enemy. The only viable option now is to use part of the force to continue to resist and order other troops to leave. "

"Evacuate at this time, what about the regiment we are surrounded by?" General Edgar Rondo roared.

"I'm afraid they have to sacrifice. This is war, general." Lin Rui said coldly, "At this time, we can't talk about personal feelings, we can only proceed from the overall situation."

General Edgar Rondo turned his head and glared at him. After a few seconds, he suddenly turned around and said, "Order the whole army to retreat. Order the 4th regiment that was besieged, hold on to the resistance, and do your best to hold the enemy. Cover your friends." Neighboring forces withdrew."

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief. This General Edgar Rondo still obeyed his own opinions.

A staff officer whispered beside Lin Rui, "The general's son is the head of that regiment."

Lin Rui was taken aback, turned around and looked at Edgar Rondo. General Edgar Rondo did not look at him, but stared at the map closely. While drawing up an evacuation route, they gave loud orders.

"Sorry General, but I have to do this." Lin Rui took a deep breath.

"I'm not for personal feelings. But the 24th area is too important. If there is a way to defend the 24th area, I would rather lose two regiments." Edgar Rondo sat down slowly.

"I understand, but judging from the current situation. Even if all the 6 regiments died there, we could not defend the 24th area. This is an impossible task. Knowing that we will lose, as What the commander has to do is to stop the loss in time. Losing the **** to protect the car, although helpless, is necessary.

What we have to do now is to do everything possible to preserve our strength. Even if we lose the line of defense around the ceasefire zone, as long as the main combat force is not greatly weakened, it is still possible to continue fighting.

Coming to Japan is long, general. We can't put all our bets on this one, let alone if we know it is impossible to win. Lin Rui turned around and silently lit a cigarette. Then he also handed a cigarette to General Edgar Rondo.

General Edgar Rondo never smoked, only took a couple of puffs and choked with tears. There was still noisy inside the headquarters, and Lin Rui had been paying attention to the situation of the troops on both sides.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the troops of the Popular Front of Western Sahara. But it has not fallen into a real desperate situation. Except for the 4th regiment, other troops still have time to withdraw.

"General!" The staff officer just came back from running, with a serious expression, "The 4th regiment accepted the order. They asked for the last artillery support to win them a chance to regroup and launch a counterattack. General, do you want to talk to them? "

"No need." General Edgar Rondo slowly closed his eyes and nodded, "Agree to launch artillery support, one last time. Then the entire artillery regiment will be withdrawn. And tell the fourth regiment, Lang Howard, I am proud of having a son like him..."

The staff officer turned and left with a sad look. A few minutes later, the troops of the Popular Front of Western Sahara launched their last heavy shelling. The 4th Regiment of the 6th District Defender launched its final recoil under the cover of artillery fire.

They didn't use flesh and blood to fight against the opposing armored forces, but took advantage of the opportunity to charge, spread out to both sides, and took over the positions of the brothers. And relying on the position desperately to resist the attack of the Moroccan troops.

Using fortifications and bunkers, and the few anti-tank weapons available, they launched a desperate resistance against the enemy forces coordinated by Butan. Their resistance is desperate and determined, and equally useless.

Everyone knew that they could not resist the torrent of enemy steel, and everyone knew that they would die in this position. But no one backed down. They used mortar rocket launchers and anti-tank mines to delay the enemy for an hour, and eventually the entire army was wiped out.

Rondo, the commander of the 4th regiment, was killed in action at the age of 36. Among his more than 600 Western Sahara soldiers and more than 200 mercenaries, more than 50 were seriously injured and captured, and none of the others survived.

But the sacrifice of this entire regiment resulted in the safe retreat of other friendly neighbors. Almost all the troops of the People’s Front of Western Sahara safely withdrew from the periphery of the ceasefire zone, and withdrew one after another into the further west.

After learning that the main force had withdrawn safely, the command room was full of joy. Only General Edgar left early.

"What is fortunate?!" Lin Rui said with a cold face in the headquarters, "This is war, this **** is war!"
