Chapter 444:

Whether to retreat, or whether to continue to hold on to the small town of Sulan, has become an unavoidable question. One to read a book?

"Mr. Captain, I don't think it would be a good choice to continue to hold on, maybe we should choose to retreat, under the strong firepower of the government army, I think that the Qashush battalion has achieved certain combat results at present, and the strategic goal of delaying the enemy's offensive has been achieved, and it can retreat."

Xiao Mubai smiled and stood in front of Captain Andal and said this.

Should the Qashush battalion continue to stick to Sulan Town, Xiao Mubai didn't want to pay attention to the thoughts of the top brass of the Free Army, he only knew that the Qashush battalion was sacrificed in Sulan Town, but his interests did not match.

That's enough, there doesn't need too many reasons, Xiao Mubai already has an excuse to intervene in this battle.

When the furious Captain Andal heard this, he stared at Xiao Mubai angrily, as if he was about to draw his gun in anger the next moment and kill this outsider who shook the morale of the army, and several staff officers looked at this side cautiously.

"What did you say?" Gritting his teeth and his eyes bulging, Captain Andal stared at Xiao Mubai without blinking, and said word by word.

"I said, it's time to retreat!" Xiao Mubai continued to smile.

Right now, the only people who can stand in front of Captain Andal and give him this kind of retreat suggestion are Xiao Mubai, as well as the mercenary leader Evan, and the militia boss Olush, but unfortunately Olush is not here, and Evan is even more unlikely to exceed the rules as a mercenary.

As an instructor, Xiao Mubai can be said to have the right and obligation to speak to Captain Andal. One reads the book

The furious Andal listened to Xiao Mubai's speech, although the words were extremely euphemistic, but Andal knew that it was a modifier, and he had achieved a certain battle result, what was the certain battle result? Killed dozens of government soldiers and destroyed more than two dozen BMP infantry fighting vehicles?

And the strategic goal of delaying the offensive of the government army, how long has it been delayed, and what strategic goal has it achieved? These are very broad things, and there is no standard for measurement, so they just deceive some low-level soldiers.

However, this is exactly what Captain Andal needs for the moment, and he also needs a reason to retreat, not only to give an account to his officers and soldiers, but most importantly to the top of the Free Army.

And Xiao Mubai can give Captain Andal this reason.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Mubai said that more than three hours had passed since the battle, and the Qashush battalion had lost nearly a hundred soldiers, and one-seventh of its strength had been reduced at once, how could Captain Andal bear it.

Without the 700 soldiers under his command, Andal is nothing, and someone else can take his place as captain at any time, this is an era when guns are the king of grass.

It can be said that even if Xiao Mubai does not speak, Captain Andal will lead his troops to retreat sooner or later.

At this moment, the staff officer suddenly came over with a headset and said to Captain Andal, who was standing aside: "Report to Captain, Olush has asked to speak to you!" "Trembling, trembling, standing motionless.

Captain Andal glanced at Xiao Mubai with deep meaning, and then took the headset.

There was an intermittent sound from the headset, Xiao Mubai didn't hear it very clearly, he could vaguely hear the words retreat, casualties, Kuka, etc., it was obvious that Olush was ready to lead people to withdraw, Kuka was a small town east of Sulan, and it was estimated that Olush was going to take people to evacuate there.

"I'm sorry!" Captain Andal listened without speaking, and at last there was a long silence before he said a word with a lost face.

"The militia in Olush has been withdrawn!" Turning off the headset, facing each officer who looked at him, Andal said the above words with some frustration, and after saying this, the strength of the whole body seemed to be hollowed out.

The air seemed to be condensed, and Captain Andal at this moment was no longer the leader who hated the prisoners and ordered to kill the traitor just now, but an officer at the end of his rope.

At this time, Second Lieutenant Sapra, who was supervising the battle on the front line, came in, as if he hadn't noticed the situation in the command room, and said with a big grin: "Just now, on the side of the southeast defense line, I and the gendarmes have killed more than ten deserters, the situation is very serious, what should I do next?" ”

After saying that, Second Lieutenant Sapra noticed that the situation was different, and immediately stopped where he was, looked around, and realized for a moment what had just happened.

The words of Second Lieutenant Sapra just now were heard by everyone, more than a dozen deserters, which shows the intensity of the government army's offensive, and more importantly, it is only a matter of time before a more intense wave of deserters appears under the continuous collapse of the battle front.

"Dear Sapra, Olush has already retreated with men, we have lost almost a hundred soldiers, there are dozens of wounded soldiers who are in urgent need of medical treatment, and the current damage inflicted on the enemy is limited, the other side still has more than two hundred armored vehicles, and most importantly, we are running out of ammunition, do you think we should continue to fight from the point of view of a chief of staff?"

After a moment's hesitation, Andal finally handed over the choice to Sapra and asked with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Mubai knew that Andal, the old fox, still didn't want to take responsibility, and his previous performance originally thought that his acting skills would be very strong, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, he wanted Sapra to carry the black pot, it seems that Sapra is going to finish.

What Captain Andal just said was very problematic, first with the retreat of Olush, giving the impression that his own qashush battalion was abandoned, and then he needed to fight alone, and then he suggested that the wounded soldiers could not be delayed and needed to receive first aid as soon as possible, and then there was a lack of ammunition and needed to be replenished.

Every situation can be a reason to retreat, and most importantly, when these circumstances are laid out, the retreat becomes a matter of course, rather than an escape.

The old fox is the old fox after all, and this person really can't be despised either.

Sure enough, the young and upright Sapra was deceived, frowned and just listened to the whole paragraph, immediately looked at Andal sincerely and said without hesitation: "Captain, I think we should be responsible for the soldiers, don't we?" ”

After a pause, a hint of anger appeared on Sapra's face and continued.

"According to one of the leaders of China, the government army is much stronger than us, and in this case we should fight a guerrilla war, not a positional war like this to block the attack of the government army, which is not the strength of the free army. I really don't know what the big guys are thinking, I think we should be responsible for our soldiers. ”

Two in a row were responsible for the soldiers, and Second Lieutenant Sapra made his opinion very clear, and Captain Andal got his wish.

Xiao Mubai mourned for Sapra in his heart, this person didn't expect to be so simple, didn't he really know that war is a continuation of politics?
