On the position near Jabaxi, Black Panther Gulei held up a telescope to observe Zhou's defense situation. A mercenary walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
"What?" Black Panther Gulei was a little surprised, "These Orumi federal troops would actually give up the pursuit?"
"They tried, but gave up soon. We don't know why. Now that Solda's troops have evacuated more than half, they still don't seem to be moving." The mercenary replied nervously.
"Something's not right, there's something weird about this." Lin Rui whispered.
Black Panther Gulei looked at him and said, "What do you think?"
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "If I were the Red Baron, I would never give up this opportunity. Even if they know that Jabaxi is not easy to fight, they will take advantage of the situation and chase after the Solda defenders. And. They would not be allowed to withdraw. After all, Solda's defenders numbered in the thousands. After these people withdrew, they could quickly organize resistance. How could the secret society let go of this opportunity?
This is only the first point. The second point is, even if they are willing to let Solda's defenders withdraw, will they still be allowed to evacuate with a large amount of supplies and baggage? This is a bit counterintuitive. unless¡¡"
"Unless what?" Black Panther Gu Lei frowned slightly.
"Unless they have other intentions and can obtain greater benefits, they will look down on this immediate benefit." Lin Rui whispered.
"But looking at the overall situation, apart from Jabaxi and Solda, they have no other better offensive options?" General Kalyan felt a little strange.
Lin Rui suddenly turned to the map, pointed at the Jabaxi area on the map and asked, "Who is behind us?"
¡°It¡¯s the sixth and fourth regiments of the government army, the two regiments that previously cooperated with us in fighting in the Emma Lake area.¡± Black Panther Gulei replied.
"I'm talking about the side and rear. Who is responsible for the other direction?" Lin Rui asked.
"That's the territory of Colonel Collins, a local warlord. He probably has less than 2,000 troops." General Kalyan answered.
"Colonel Collins? How is this man?" Lin Rui asked.
General Kalyan replied, "This man is a local warlord with some power. He currently controls a mixed group of local armed forces and government troops. Why are you suddenly interested in this man?"
Lin Rui remained silent and drew an arc on the map with the pencil in his hand. "I'm wondering what would happen if the Orumi federal army gave up the pursuit and directly bypassed our defensive protrusion?"
"Bypass us? You mean they will enter Berry Town?" General Kallian asked.
"Yes, there are now more than 2,000 Orumi federal troops in Berry Town who retreated from Jabaxi after the defeat. If these secret society armed forces join forces with them, their strength will reach more than 5,000. If things go smoothly If we move forward to Berry Town and capture Colonel Collins' defense area, we can directly threaten our retreat and completely surround us. At this time, the original Sodar garrison that had just withdrawn itself is not yet stable, not only giving Without much support from us, we might even be in danger." Lin Rui looked at the map and drew another arc on it.
"Isn't this impossible? Even if they have certain mechanization capabilities, they can't completely bypass us and rush to Berry Town, then launch an offensive from Berry Town and circle to our rear. If that's the case, Not only have all Sodar's defenders evacuated, we should also have almost withdrawn." Kalian shook his head.
"According to normal thinking, they are indeed too late. But I'm afraid it's not that simple. What you imagine is that they will encounter obstruction in the area where Colonel Collins is responsible. But if we take a step back and think about it, they did not encounter obstruction in Colonel Collins' area. ? They will pass smoothly and even cut off our retreat before we evacuate." Lin Rui whispered.
"How is it possible that we won't encounter resistance? Are you saying" General Kalyan's face suddenly changed, "Unless Collins has rebelled and turned his back! In this case, not only are we finished, but even the retreating Sodar garrison will be annihilated. .Damn, how could I forget this!
Collins used to be a peacemaker, and his attitude towards war with the Orumi Federation has always been quite ambiguous. If he switches sides at the last minute Damn it! I can¡¯t even imagine this outcome! "
"If that's the case, the Red Baron really won't pursue him because he has a better plan." Black Panther Gulei whispered.
"However, now I am just guessing. There is no basis." Lin Rui whispered, "We have to find a way to prove this."
"How to prove it?" General Kalyan asked.
"Satellite. Half an hour later."??Our satellite should pass over this area, and we may be able to detect the enemy's movements through the satellite. If the Orumi federal army was indeed moving towards Berry Town, then the likelihood of Collins' defection was high. Lin Rui replied.
"What if he rebels against the true way?" Black Panther Gulei asked.
"What should I do? I'll shoot him!" General Kalyan was furious.
"Calm down, general, otherwise not only will you not be able to shoot him, but you will probably be shot by him." Lin Rui whispered, "We have to analyze carefully. The secret society armed forces and the Orumi federal army bypassed us and Berry. It will take a certain amount of time for the enemy forces in the town to converge. And it will take a certain amount of time for them to enter the area responsible for Collins from Berry Town. According to normal logic, it will take them at least four to six hours. The terrain of Jabaxi is very difficult for the attackers. It is not suitable for night battles. This means that they will have to wait until at least the afternoon to complete the outflanking and launch an attack from our rear."
"That means we still have four to six hours available." Black Panther Gulei whispered. "But how do you plan to use it?"
"Make a decisive decision, kill Collins, and seize command of the troops." Lin Rui replied in a low voice.
"But we don't have any evidence yet. It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to control his troops. What if he dies and causes a mutiny in the troops?" General Kalyan frowned.
"So, we need someone who can control the situation. You!" Lin Rui looked at General Kalyan and said.
"Me?" General Kalyan frowned.
"Yes, General, you are not only Canavia's deputy defense minister, but also the chief of general staff this time. You are quite prestigious among the government forces. You have also said before that Collins's troops are local armed forces plus the government. A regiment composed of mixed military forces. As long as you control the officers of the government army and let them control their subordinates, the local armed people will not be able to cause trouble." Lin Rui replied.
