Pomi signaled his subordinates who had rushed in to all withdraw, then said to Shao Gang, "I need to return to headquarters to direct the battle. Co back with ."
"At this mont, I don’t recomnd you go back. Rember when Dan Tuo ambushed Suowen, he intercepted Suowen’s guard company midway. He’s surely anticipated that you’ll rush back for reinforcents and plans to intercept you halfway."
Upon hearing this, Pomi beca very deliberate and said to his adjutant, "Bring the military map."
The adjutant quickly spread the map out on the table.
Military maps are different from ordinary civilian maps; they are more precise and detailed, with even the height of each mountain peak accurately marked.
Pomi stood in front of the table, fully focused on the map before him, analyzing what Shao Gang had just said.
Without realizing it, Shao Gang had also stood beside Pomi, pointing at the map, he said, "If I were Dan Tuo, knowing the general would return for support, I would definitely set an ambush here. The terrain here is narrow, surrounded by dense jungle, very suitable for an ambush. However, there is still a gap between his strength and the general’s. If he invests the majority of his forces in battle, he won’t have many left to set an ambush, failing to achieve the desired effect. At this point, there is another option."
"What option?"
Pomi listened intently, acknowledging that Shao Gang made sense, coupled with his special forces background, Pomi internally agreed with Shao Gang’s opinion and asked, "What should we do?"
"It’s simple; just send a reconnaissance team to scout the area."
"Alright, since you can share this insight with , I trust you’re not Dan Tuo’s spy. I’ll need you by my side until you can confirm that everything you’ve said is true."
Frankly, Pomi still hadn’t fully trusted Shao Gang. Doing this was a disguised form of house arrest.
Pomi heeded Shao Gang’s advice, dispatched two reconnaissance teams to scout the two locations, while his main forces imdiately set off to prepare for reinforcents.
Shao Gang and Pomi sat in the sa vehicle, and Shao Gang could clearly sense Pomi’s tension at this mont. After all, their stronghold was under attack, and the reports from the base defense commanders hinted they couldn’t hold out any longer, making him very tense inside.
Along the way, he received dozens of satellite calls; the news from headquarters was mixed, but the majority was bad.
"A bunch of incompetents, getting beaten like this."
Although Dan Tuo’s ambush played a part, Pomi still could not accept that his army might one day be defeated by Dan Tuo.
Just as Pomi’s expression turned grim, his phone rang again. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from the reconnaissance team he sent out.
"General, we indeed found explosives under the bridge, and we eliminated Dan Tuo’s five-man team before they could detonate them. The bridge is now safe."
"Good, very good."
On hearing this news, Pomi glanced at Li Xiang. Only at this point did he fully trust Shao Gang’s words. Now that the bombs were discovered, he managed to turn the situation around a bit.
He imdiately ordered, "Proceed at full speed, return to reinforce."
-----------------
Deep in the jungle, under the cover of torrential rain, another army lay in ambush.
Director Fan was inside a field camp, discussing the opportunity for military intervention with senior generals from Myanmar.
This was the chance for the Myanmar military to eliminate the Keren Army, a hidden threat, once and for all.
At that mont, a sentinel reported, "Report, a small troop is spotted at the one o’clock direction, about three hundred n, advancing toward our position."
"More people? Who are they?"
"Judging by their attire, they should be from the Keren Army."
"Take them out."
"Yes."
Suowen, with his own trusted troops, was preparing to withdraw from the battle between Dan Tuo and the Keren Army.
Although he had previously sided with the Keren Army, his aim was to use their strength to aid his revenge.
Now that both forces were engaged, his goal was achieved. Naturally, he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his three hundred elite troops for the Keren Army.
It wasn’t worth it!
So he seized the opportunity to lead his troops out of the battle, running toward the periphery.
At this mont, gunfire suddenly erupted ahead, and the vanguard troops in the front fell like wheat being cut by a sickle.
"It’s an ambush, an ambush!"
Suowen, like a startled bird, had grown fearful of ambushes, creating a psychological shadow. Hearing about an ambush ahead, he urgently ordered a retreat, but by then, it was too late.
A large number of Myanmar military soldiers surrounded them, and in just one wave of firepower, they completely decimated his three hundred n.
"General, the enemy seems to be the Myanmar military. Their firepower is too strong. We should surrender."
With bullets whistling overhead, even though he was extrely unwilling, Suowen, valuing his own life, decided to surrender.
In the Myanmar military camp, a guard reported again, "Report to the general, the enemy squad has been annihilated. We have killed 167 and captured 139. The high-ranking officer leading this squad is nad Suowen."
