Chapter 791 Tachino's Concerns

Tachino knew that the Fourth Army had more than a dozen divisions. If all of them were deployed, they would definitely have an advantage in terms of manpower.

Although I said that the Yan people had hundreds of thousands of troops when I escaped from the Macedonian military factory, that was just nonsense. If I didn't describe the Yan people's strength as larger, how could these people choose to evacuate with me under pressure?

In Tachino's opinion, after the battle with the reinforcements from Port Brulo, the Yan people forcibly attacked the Macedonian military factory. Although they won these two battles, their casualties would definitely not be small.

As long as there is a huge advantage in military strength, the gap in weapons can be more or less eliminated, but the prerequisite is to concentrate the forces for combat. If the army group cannot be fully deployed, but is divided into multiple forces to fight against the Yan people, then it will definitely lose badly.

Thinking about the fact that they only sent three divisions for support this time, Tachino was extremely depressed. Even if the Macedonian arsenal had not fallen and held out until the arrival of these three divisions, it did not seem to have much effect. Wasn't General Brewster too underestimated the enemy, or were the other divisions in the army not all in Heinrichsburg at the moment?

But no matter what, the current situation is to rush to Heinrichburg as soon as possible, so he said:

"We can't go any further. The military factory fell on the night of the 3rd. The Yan people set it on fire. Everything is probably burned down. The Yan army may be on the way now."

Maude nodded helplessly, "Yes, sir."

He looked at the group of demoralized soldiers behind Tachino, frowned, and said, "Sir, you only have..."

Before he finished speaking, Tachino sighed and said, "The Yan people attacked fiercely. They rushed to the bottom of the bunker under our artillery fire and installed explosives. After the bunker collapsed, we could no longer hold on."

"There were more than 90,000 people in the military factory, and most of them died at the hands of the Yan people. But it was also because of their resistance that I was able to evacuate with the 19,000 people you see now."

"But this is just a tactical retreat. After I lead these people to join the Fourth Army, we will take back what we lost!"

"And those damn Yan people will definitely pay the price for this!" Tachino said viciously.

Maude looked heavy-hearted, but still said, "We will win in the end."

He then changed the subject: "Sir, as you said, the military factory has now been captured by the Yan people. They may be on their way. I wonder if you have set up checkpoints on the road to intercept them? Or have you cut off the road to prevent them from going deeper?"

As soon as these words came out, Tachino's face changed, and he immediately said in a cold voice: "We only have so few troops? What can we use to intercept?"

"If we can intercept them, why would we need to withdraw from the military factory?!"

Mod heard the anger in Tachino's words and said quickly, "Sir, that's not what I meant. It's just that once the Yan people spread out, the surrounding towns centered on the military factory will be killed by the Yan people. Those civilians..."

Before he could finish his words, Tachino interrupted with a cold face: "With our current strength, we can't do anything. The retreat was too hasty. We didn't even have time to bring out heavy weapons. Setting up a checkpoint to intercept them is tantamount to sending these soldiers to their deaths."

"Is there any need for unnecessary sacrifice? What we should do is to preserve our manpower and eliminate the Yan people in the next battle!"

"But..." Maude looked worried.

"You don't need to teach me! I have already led these soldiers to fight the Yan people with all our strength! If the military base could have sent reinforcements earlier, the military factory would not have fallen!" Tachino's face was cold.

"This... is too far away, and we can't do anything..." Maude was about to explain, but Tachino interrupted again, "Isn't that enough? You can't do anything? What can I do?!"

"We can't let our limited force intercept the Yan people and defend those towns at the same time, right?"

"What we need to do now is to quickly organize our forces and defeat the Yan people as soon as possible, so that we can take back those occupied areas!"

Hearing this, Maud felt angry and said in a muffled voice:

"okay, I get it."

"Sir, do you know the specific information about the Yan people's military strength and military composition?"

Hearing this, Tachino rolled his eyes. The battle that night was extremely fierce and they didn't even have time to escape, so how could they have time to understand the military strength of the Yan people?

But he couldn't answer that yet. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the exact number, but they have at least 100,000 troops, and they are mainly cavalry. In addition, they have many artillery pieces, at least three or four hundred. The range and power of those artillery shells..."

Hearing this, Maude sighed inwardly. It was like saying nothing, and it might even be wrong information.

He interrupted, "Sir, I have heard General Harris talk in detail about the weapons of the Yan Army."

"Can you give me some more precise information?"

Tachino was stunned, but after thinking about it, he found that there was really no detailed information to say, so he spread his hands and said, "We are trapped in the military factory by the Yan people and cannot get out. How can we possibly understand them?"

Maud looked at Tachino deeply and said:

"Well, sir, I will bring back the news that the military factory has fallen as soon as possible."

After saying this, Mod said no more and was about to leave with the messengers.

Seeing him leave as soon as he said, Tachino's heart tightened and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong, sir? We need to bring back the news as soon as possible and can't waste time." Modra stopped his horse and turned around to say.

Tachino asked:

"Where is your army now? Who is the commander?"

Maude was stunned, but still said, "The commander-in-chief is Lieutenant General Carter, but I don't know where the army is now because I set out first. However, if there is no bad weather, the army can travel 40 kilometers a day. If we follow the original plan, we will arrive at the military factory around the 12th."

Tachino nodded: "Today is already the seventh, so there are only four or five days left."

Maude hummed, not understanding why he said that. After all, the military factory had already fallen, and it would be useless to rush over now. The plan would definitely have to be changed accordingly.

Tachino then stammered, "Since the journey is only a few days away, I think you could bring me a message when you go back to report the news."

"What?" Maude asked puzzledly.

Tachino looked back at the soldiers, then turned to Maud and said, "Come and help us."

"The enemy might catch up with us. If they catch up with us, we will be in trouble."

"Okay, sir, I'll pass it on for you." Maude agreed, and with a stern look on his face, he rode away with the messengers.
