Throughout this morning, the search teams that went into the mountains did not bring any more bad news.

Apart from a few initial engagements with the guerrillas, during which both sides suffered minor casualties, the search team eventually gained regional control of the situation.

The guerrillas, who achieved brilliant results yesterday by taking advantage of the terrain and using traps, have run into a brick wall today.

The Chief of Staff's suggestion for coordinated search operations has played a significant role.

According to the latest battle report, the area within 3 kilometers on both sides of the mountain road has been basically cleared by the Kachin Army.

Nowadays, it is simply impossible for guerrillas to break through the blockade of 17 mountain warfare squads and launch a surprise attack on the Kachin Army.

"Commander, the military headquarters has called. Our main force and logistical support will enter the mountains by 4 p.m. at the latest today."

Chief of Staff Gulong strode over, holding a telegram.

"Oh? So fast?"

Dubois looked up, his tone tinged with surprise.

According to his estimate, the main force will not be able to enter the mountains until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

"Commander Gan Shang personally oversaw the work, which expedited the arrival of logistical supplies, and the main force is already on its way."

Gu Long handed over the telegram in his hand.

Dubrovnik casually took it, quickly glanced at the contents, frowned, and said:

"Time is of the essence. Order the search and rescue teams that have entered the mountains to expedite the clearing operation."

"Before 3 PM, all mountainous areas within a 3-kilometer radius of the mountain road must be cleared to ensure the safety of troops entering the mountains..."

"yes!"

The messenger behind Dubois quickly took notes, then turned and went to relay the order.

"Chief of Staff Gu, how should we deploy this forward position before the main force arrives?"

Dubois placed the telegram on the table and asked.

"Cut deep trenches around the two concrete bunkers and build artillery positions!"

Gu Long seemed to have anticipated that Commander Du would ask the question, and answered without hesitation.
