    The phone was ringing rapidly. After receiving the call, a staff officer hurried to General Edgar Landau and reported to him in a low voice.

    "What did you say?" General Edgar Rondo grabbed him by the collar and roared loudly, "Say it again."

    The staff officer said nervously, "The 24th district was hit by an air attack, and we suffered heavy losses. The other party dispatched fighter planes and bombed the 24th district."

    "Haven't we already deployed air defense? Why is it still like this?" General Edgar Rondo said angrily.

    "General, calm down. Your air defense system, which relies on anti-aircraft artillery and short-range missiles, cannot be foolproof. In fact, Morocco's fighter planes are quite advanced." Lin Rui shook his head.

    "Send reinforcements immediately." General Edgar Rondo said loudly.

    "General, the right thing to do now is not to send reinforcements, but to evacuate Highland 24 immediately." Lin Rui pointed at the map and said, "The enemy army is determined to win Highland 24, so they will not give up after just one round of air strikes.  .There will definitely be a second or even third round of air raids later.

    To avoid heavy casualties, the team must withdraw from Area 24.  Other reinforcements should not go to Area 24 to avoid unnecessary casualties.  "

    "What are you talking about? Area 24 is very important and is the main support point of the entire front. Once area 24 is lost, our entire front will not be able to hold it." General Edgar Rondo said in surprise.

    "That's right. Since the entire front cannot be defended, it's better for us to retreat across the board." Lin Rui said in a low voice, "When we know that we are bound to lose, it is the wisest choice to actively evacuate and retain our strength."

    "No! I will never retreat!" General Edgar Rondo shouted.  "I want to fight the enemy to the death."

    "The enemy will not die, and you will not die, but your soldiers will die." Lin Rui raised his voice, "We have limited troops, and insisting on fighting when we know we will lose is the most irresponsible commander.  the behavior of.

    At present, we only have 6 regiments around the ceasefire zone. With the newly expanded personnel and the personnel previously recruited from local armed forces, we still have 7 regiments.

    The enemy has the advantage of surprise attack, and they have armored units and air superiority. If you choose to fight the enemy head-on at this time, these 6 regiments will be given to the enemy.  The only feasible option now is to use some of the troops to continue resisting and order other troops to withdraw.  "

    "If we evacuate at this time, what will happen to our surrounded regiment?" General Edgar Rondo roared.

    "I'm afraid they have to sacrifice. This is war, general." Lin Rui said coldly, "We can't talk about personal feelings at this time, we can only consider the overall situation."

    General Edgar Rondo turned his head and glared at him. After a few seconds, he suddenly turned back and said, "Order the entire army to retreat. Order the surrounded 4th Regiment to resist and do their best to hold back the enemy. Cover the friends."  Neighboring troops withdraw."

    Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, General Edgar Rondo still listened to his own opinion.

    A staff officer whispered beside Lin Rui, "The general's son is the commander of that regiment."

    Lin Rui was stunned and turned around to look at Edgar Rondo.  General Edgar Rondo didn't look at him, he just stared at the map closely.  While planning an evacuation route, he shouted orders.

    "I'm sorry, General, but I have to do this." Lin Rui took a deep breath and said.

    "I'm not doing it for personal reasons. But Area 24 is too important. If there is a way to defend Area 24, I would rather lose two regiments." Edgar Rondo sat down slowly.

    "I understand, but judging from the current situation. Even if all six regiments die there, we cannot hold District 24. This is an impossible task. Knowing that we will lose, as a  What the commander has to do is to stop the loss in time. Losing pawns to save the rook is helpless, but it is necessary.

    What we have to do now is to do everything possible to preserve our strength. Even if we lose the defense line in the ceasefire area, as long as the main combat force is not greatly weakened, it is still possible to continue fighting.

    The days ahead are long, General.  We can't put all our bets on this one, especially when we know clearly that we can't win.  "Lin Rui turned around and silently lit a cigarette. Then he also handed a cigarette to General Edgar Rondo.

    General Edgar Rondo never smoked, but after just two puffs, he choked in tears.  The headquarters was still noisy, and Lin Rui had been paying attention to the situation of the troops on both sides.

    The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the troops of the Western Sahara Popular Front.  But it has not yet fallen into a real desperate situation. Except for the 4th Regiment, other troops are still??Time to evacuate.

    "General!" the staff officer who just ran back said with a heavy face, "The 4th Regiment accepted the order. They requested the last artillery support to give them the opportunity to regroup and launch a counterattack. General, do you want to talk to them?  "

    "No need." General Edgar Rondo slowly closed his eyes and nodded, "I agree to launch artillery support for the last time. Then withdraw the entire artillery regiment. And tell the Fourth Regiment, Colonel Rondo,  I am proud to have a son like him"

    The staff officer turned and left with a sad expression.  Minutes later, troops from the Popular Front for Western Sahara launched a final, heavy shelling attack.  The 4th Regiment of the 6th District defenders launched the final counterattack under the cover of artillery fire.

    They did not fight against the opponent's armored forces with their flesh and blood, but took advantage of the charge to spread out to both sides and take over the positions of their brother troops.  And relied on their positions to desperately resist the attack of the Moroccan troops.

    Using fortifications and bunkers, as well as a small number of anti-tank weapons, they launched a desperate resistance against the enemy forces coordinated by infantry and tanks.  Their resistance was desperate and determined, but also futile.

    Everyone knows that they cannot resist the enemy's steel torrent, and everyone also knows that they will die on this position.  But no one backed down. They used mortar rocket launchers and anti-tank mines to delay the enemy for an hour, and finally the entire army was annihilated.

    Rondo, the major commander of the 4th regiment, was killed in action at the age of 36.  Of his more than 600 Western Saharan soldiers and more than 200 mercenaries, more than 50 were seriously injured and captured, and no one else survived.

    But the sacrifice of an entire regiment resulted in the safe retreat of other friendly neighboring troops.  Almost all Western Sahara Popular Front troops safely withdrew from the vicinity of the ceasefire zone and successively retreated further west.

    After learning that the main force had safely withdrawn, the command room was filled with joy.  Only General Edgar left early.

    "What is there to be thankful for?!" Lin Rui said with a cold face in the headquarters, "This is war, this is war!"
