The news that the Secret Society had begun to retreat reached the headquarters of the Mawo Army, and Lin Rui sat down and breathed a sigh of relief amid a burst of cheers.

Shogishi patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're blocking them." ”

"yes, it's a tough day to stop them. Lin Rui shook his head with a wry smile. But this is only the second day. ”

Shogishi was silent for a while and said, "It turns out that our defense strategy is right, and the next step is how to maintain this effective defense." ”

Lin Rui nodded weakly, "Are Jason and Wang Haoze back?"

"Come back, I'll let them come over to meet you. Shogishi nodded and walked outside the headquarters. After a while, Jason and Wang Haoze both came in, and they all looked similar, covered in sweat and blood. Lin Rui walked up and hugged them. "Well done, how's the casualty?"

"Our No. 3 Sector is okay, but Jason's Sector 1 has suffered a lot of losses, and it is the main direction of attack of the Order. The battle began early in the morning and continued uninterrupted. Wang Haoze said in a low voice.

Jason nodded, "More than half of the casualties are there." I don't know how many times those soldiers will be able to withstand an attack, and if it weren't for the final stage of your artillery, I'm afraid the casualties will soar even further. On the bright side, though, they have regained the first leg of their defence that they once lost. My men are relaying mines, reinforcing fortifications. ”

"Let them rest, I'll have the soldiers of the 2nd and 4th Zones transfer over to help them. In addition, the lost soldiers had to be replenished from the reserves. Lin Rui nodded and said, "This time, the loss of the Secret Society is not small, although it is not a big loss of vitality, but at least they should not launch such a large-scale attack in a short period of time." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the position," Lin Rui sighed.

The three of them walked to the badly beaten position, where several Mavo soldiers were carrying out their fallen companions. The bodies were all set aside and lined up in a row.

Jason took a deep breath and said, "These bodies will be burned at a later date." Because the corpses cannot be allowed to decompose, causing contamination and the spread of epidemics. The Mavo people are used to this way of dealing with it. Doesn't it feel a little cruel, they sacrificed their lives for the country, but they couldn't even get a cemetery. ”

"But if you think about it, they don't even sacrifice their lives for their country, they're just fighting for some warlords and fighting against another. This is the role of the military in war. They are dying fighting for reasons they don't even know. Shogishi sighed and said, "That's why I left the military." ”

"They are heroes. Jason was silent for a moment and said, "Even in the most difficult times of the battle between the two sides, none of these Mavo soldiers with only basic training retreated. It's not me who is holding the line, it's them. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "Gather those seriously wounded who are not capable of fighting to the hospital in the city, where there are medicines and medical personnel." We are short of personnel, and I am afraid that the lightly wounded personnel will have to stay and continue the fight, but we can deploy them to the second or fifth area, where the pressure is relatively light. ”

Shogishi nodded, "Okay, I'll do it right away later." ”

Lin Rui stood on a high place and looked at the camp where the Secret Society was stationed, and said slowly, "Can their casualties be estimated?"

"They are the attackers, and the price they pay is naturally higher than ours. Shogan frowned and said, "Judging from the statistics of the battlefield, their losses are at least three hundred or more. ”

Lin Rui pondered for a moment and nodded, "We must strengthen the defenses of other areas." With the loss of so many troops at one time, the Red Baron must not be willing to fight so hard again. We must be careful not to make a roundabout attack on our flank. ”

The Red Baron was not furious at the failure of this attack. Instead, he sat there in silence and listened to the detailed report. The more silent he was, the more Conan felt his scalp tingle beside him. He knew that the Red Baron was not a good-natured man.

But to his surprise, the Red Baron didn't say anything, just waved at him and said, "You should go down and rest too." ”

"Baron, I don't understand. Conan frowned.

"Don't understand what?" said the Red Baron, looking up.

"Is this what we are, don't we have a plan of action for the next step?" said Baron Conan, puzzled.

"What's next?" the Red Baron sneered, "Our more than a thousand of us have been reduced by three hundred in one battle. Nearly 30 percent of the battle damage ratio. Since the founding of the Order, there has been no such record. Do you want me to throw all the other hands into this bottomless pit?"

"What do you mean?" Conan frowned.

"Abandon the plan for a frontal assault entirely. The Red Baron pointed to the map, "We can make a detour back to Naran's flank and attack there." ”

"What's in it for us? Why don't we just take Naran's eastern gateway and take a detour to attack his flank?" Conan frowned.

"Because from the current state of their defense, we have anticipated the direction of our main attack in advance. So heavy defenses were laid there. If we are so hard-hitting, it will undoubtedly lead to more losses. We can't fight hard-fought battles anymore, we have to try other ways. The Red Baron frowned.

"But why this position?" Conan frowned, "it's the location of the river valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to our charge. ”

"They're going to think the same way as you, so the defenses here are the weakest. And I never said anything about forcing a charge. I mean infiltration. The Red Baron said lightly. "I need an elite squad to infiltrate the rear of their positions from the direction of this valley, and then cooperate with our outer personnel to take this position in a short period of time. ”

"I see. As long as we control this area, it is equivalent to digging a hole in their overall defense. Conan's eyes flickered. "It's precisely because this area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they think it's foolproof, that they make mistakes. ”

"That's right. But tonight we can't move. The Red Baron said lightly. "Tomorrow we will continue to feint on their front on a small scale for the whole day. Make them further convinced that we will not change the plan. In this case, they will continue to increase their forces to defend the east and north flanks. But at night, under the cover of night, we made a detour to the southern valley of Naraner. ”

"We're going to go ahead with the infiltration team and open the southern passage into Naran. Then the elite came out together and quickly attacked the headquarters of the Mavo army. Destroy their command center in one fell swoop. Conan's eyes twinkled.

The Red Baron nodded silently, "This will be a sneak attack." ”
