3571 Preserving life is the most important thing

The chief of staff immediately understood Barbosse's deep meaning. Since the Chinese bombers can travel long distances to bomb the railway supporting the city of Marktau, and since the Chinese transport planes can transport thousands of miles and drop the No.60 airborne division, then the Chinese bombers will definitely be able to destroy the four Canadian regiments. The reserves were blown up.

The chief of staff said sadly: "But our transport capacity is not too much, and those materials may not be able to transport much."

Barbosse growled: "Now is not the time to talk about those things, how much can be shipped out, hurry up, hurry up!"

Before the chief of staff ran out of the headquarters, the phone rang at the headquarters. A combat staff officer picked up the phone, listened for a while, and reported to Barbosse in a trembling voice: "General, our material storage station has been mysteriously attacked... ..."

"Mysterious strike? Bastard!" Barbosse vented all his frustration on the combat staff officer, "A strike is a blow. What does a mysterious strike mean?"

The combat staff officer was frightened by Barbosse's anger, he said nervously: "General, it's like this, an unknown thing attacked the No. After that, it knocked a deep hole in the ground."

"The strange thing is that there was no explosion during the strike, and there was no explosion at the strike site. The sound was more like an impact."

"What is this?" asked Barbosse in astonishment.

"The people at the material storage station don't know either. They are planning to dig that hole to see what's inside?"

"No need, let them hurry up and transfer the supplies." Barbosse waved his hand sadly, signaling the combat staff to continue answering other calls, adding another level of fear to Lin Yuan.

If Barbosse knew the truth about this mysterious attack, he would be even more afraid of Lin Yuan. The weapon Lin Yuan used this time was a space-based kinetic energy weapon.

Lin Yuan knew very well that the space-based kinetic energy weapon was not as powerful as the rumors, and its total kinetic energy was only equivalent to the energy of an explosion of two or three tons of TNT.The greatest value of space-based kinetic energy weapons lies in striking high-value targets such as spacecraft and nuclear warheads in outer space. The reason why Lin Yuan used them to attack the Canadian Legion's material storage station was just to use this battlefield to conduct a test.

Barbosse was a little desperate. Since Lin Yuan could launch a mysterious weapon to attack the material storage station, the air force's attack would follow, and the Canadian side had no way to fight back.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, news came from the material storage station: all four material storage stations were bombed by the Chinese Air Force.

Barbosse realized that he had completely lost this battle. Without the supplies from Maketau City, the Canadian Legion could last for ten days. Without the supply station, the Canadian Legion could only last for three days. It will take more than eight days to rush to Makto City, and it will take even more time to fight against the plateau combat division.

At this moment, a combat staff officer ran over and suggested: "General, the city of Makto and the supply station have been destroyed. If the news gets out, it will deal a major blow to the morale of our troops. I suggest blocking the news immediately."

"No need." Barbosse waved his hand helplessly, "What's the use of blocking the news? It's blocked for three days at most. Once the three days are over, everyone will know."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Order the troops to retreat."

"But the First Army and Second Army have been surrounded by the Chinese army and cannot withdraw."

"Order them to break out of the siege as soon as possible. If they fail to break out, the commander can put saving the lives of the soldiers first." Barbosse's implication is that the two legions can surrender when the breakout is unsuccessful. In fact, this order is incorrect.

Barbosse's order, although it seemed beautiful, saved the lives of even a soldier of the legion, but in this way, the Chinese army could spare its troops to chase and wipe out the third and fourth legions.Barbosse's correct order should be to order the First Army and the Second Army to fight to the death and hold back the Chinese Army, even if they wiped out all the soldiers.

But—Barbosse is the commander of Canada, not Lin Yuan, nor the commander of the US military. In the Canadian social atmosphere, preserving the lives of soldiers is the most important thing. Soldiers should never be made to make fearless sacrifices. I agree with the behavior of fighting to save allies.

After Barbosse's order was issued, the First and Second Corps surrendered to China within a day, and the Plateau Combat Division and the Alaska Expeditionary Force immediately outflanked and surrounded the Canadian Third and Fourth Corps.

The Chinese Air Force bombed the retreating railways of the Third and Fourth Corps, and the Canadian army, which was not highly mechanized, was soon surrounded by the Chinese army.

At this time, Canada's ammunition was no longer enough to support the battle, and the rear reinforcements could not arrive in a short time, so Barbosse proposed peace talks with Fang Xianyang, hoping to end the battle in a gentlemanly manner and save the lives of Canadian soldiers.

This situation is exactly what both Lin Yuan and Barbosse wanted to see, so Lin Yuan agreed to Barbosse's surrender. Of course, in order to save the face of the former British Empire general, Lin Yuan did not mention the word "surrender" in the agreement. Instead, termination resistance was used.

Lin Yuan then ordered all the troops to confiscate the weapons of the Canadian Army and let them go home. In terms of propaganda, Lin Yuan specifically pointed out that it was Barbosse who fought with all his strength, which saved the lives of the soldiers of the Canadian Army and brought Barbosse Serge casts the image of a hero trying to protect his soldiers.

Lin Yuan sent the transport vehicles to Barbosse and high-ranking officers, and asked them to return to the Canadian capital first. As for the ordinary soldiers, they could only go slowly. It's really an interesting thing. If Lin Yuan didn't blow up the railway, the Canadian soldiers wouldn't surrender. If the railway was blown up, the Canadian soldiers who surrendered wouldn't be able to send them back.

Barbosse returned to Ottawa and was greeted by a hero. Canada agreed that the failure of this battle was not because our army was too incompetent, but because the enemy was too strong.
