After the Black Mamba and other mercenaries arrived at the position on the south bank of the Kemu River, Lin Rui had also arrived with several other companies.

Lin Rui had already rushed to the position on the south bank of the Cam River first after receiving Hei Mamba's battle report on Clovertown.

At the South Bank position, Commander Hodgson was sitting on pins and needles anxiously. Seeing Lin Rui and others arrived, he hurriedly greeted the headquarters.

Lin Rui entered the command post 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Commander Hodgson quickly explained, "The temporary headquarters has just been withdrawn, and everything is a little messy, please don't mind both of you."

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

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 The 4th Battalion suffered heavy losses and has now withdrawn.

Now a large number of enemy troops are threatening our main south bank position. What I am worried about is that they will use the flank position as a springboard and go straight back to our side.

Therefore, a team was temporarily deployed to strengthen the flank defense. So far, the effect is pretty good. The enemy is currently stagnating 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 flank positions.

Moreover, it was more than enough to defend the flank positions with the troops of the fourth battalion. How could they be defeated so fast. "

Commander Hodgson was a little embarrassed, "We acted exactly according to the command of the Alliance Command. However, the 4th Battalion did not issue rescue instructions.

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

"I didn't issue a request for help, or even reported to the headquarters, I retreated on my own, but it was a big taboo." Hei Mamba said slowly.

"Where is the commander of the 4th Battalion?" Lin Rui asked with a sinking face.

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

After about a few minutes, the deputy commander of the 4th Battalion arrived. The deputy battalion commander looked injured, but after a simple dressing, he looked embarrassed.

When Lin Rui asked about the situation, the deputy battalion commander was also aggrieved.

"We sent out a total of four requests for help. But the command headquarters did not respond.

Our entire camp suffered heavy losses, and in the end it really couldn't hold it anymore. If you don't withdraw, you will be surrounded and wiped out by the enemy.

Our battalion commander also issued four or five copies of the report requesting the evacuation. These camps have records there. However, no reinforcements were seen, and there was no clear response from the headquarters to approve or reject the withdrawal request.

We really withdrew in desperation. The deputy 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 also evacuating at the time. The communications company did not receive the information in time." General Hodgson replied.

"Even if the command headquarters is being evacuated, smooth communication must be ensured. It is a big responsibility for the loss of the battle because of communication failure." Lin Rui replied.

"I understand, but the enemy attacked vigorously at that time. Our side was plunged into chaos, in order to ensure that our army's front command post was not destroyed by the enemy.

We can only evacuate urgently, and some mistakes are inevitable in this process. "General Hodgson explained.

"But just 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 held accountable."

General Hodgson nodded, "I will definitely pursue this matter severely and investigate the related responsibilities. But the most important thing now is that we have to solve the current troubles.

The Orumi Federal Army has occupied our flank positions, and it is very likely that they will continue to threaten the safety of Songshi Town to the west, or advance to the southwest to intimidate our military’s Mirto line of defense. "

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

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

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

"The general means that you are going to abandon the main position on the south bank of the Cam River. Retreat to Songshi Town and Mirto." Lin Rui turned to look at General Hodgson.

"The enemy is coming so aggressively, we can't carry 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 is to stick to your position on the South Bank. If you disobey the order and leave, you will cause a major crisis in the Kam River defense line." Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"But the current situation can no longer take care of that much. If you stick to it, these units under my hand may all be accounted for here.

Even if the main position on the south bank of the Kam River is lost, there is still our north bank fortress group. But my brethren were all finished, but they were all over.

Not only was the position lost, and there was even a chance for a counterattack, we also did not have enough troops to organize a counterattack. General Hodgson shook his head.

"General, don't forget, you are not only responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Cam River. It is also the gate of the entire Anmore.

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

Once this line of defense is breached again, the enemy will bypass our well-organized defense system and drive straight in from the side of the Kam River.

This is the greatest threat to us, and the greatest threat to the entire Anmor battle. "Lin Rui replied.

"But if I stay here, I will have to fight the enemy to the death. The 4th Battalion has been almost wiped out, and the other battalions have also been under tremendous pressure.

In this case, the main position on the south bank of the Kam River may have been difficult to hold. Instead of putting troops here and further consumption of the enemy, it is better to take a step back and wait for the opportunity. "General Hodgson said loudly.

"There is no chance. If you retreat, the pressure on the fortresses on the north bank of the Kam River will greatly increase. We will readjust our deployment and reinforce the defense on the north bank for a certain period of time. And this time is enough for the enemy to form a breakthrough opportunity." Lin Lin Rui serious and authentic.
