The staff officer quickly pleaded: "General Wen, I think we should wait until the 18 teams ahead have some news before we decide!"
However……
They waited all night, but the radio station was still silent and there was no news.
The eighteen squads of the Northern Army they sent out disappeared like a drop in the ocean, and no news or information was ever sent back.
When the east was getting light, General Wen, who had fallen asleep at some point, suddenly got up and immediately shouted: "Contact station, hurry up...is there any news?"
"Report to the General! No...no...Eighteen teams, still no news."
The liaison soldier's eyes were red and he didn't dare sleep all night, for fear of missing any news.
The staff officer was also awakened and stood up immediately in shock.
"Asshole! Could it be that they... collectively defected to China? Otherwise, even if they were caught off guard and were chased and surrounded by the Chinese, it is impossible that there is no news at all for the eighteen teams?"
Wen Xiangqian also realized at this time that things were becoming a little abnormal.
In the past, the troops he organized to harass the Chinese border were always successful, and the Chinese had no way to deal with them at all.
But now, encountering such a situation for the first time, he couldn't help but think of the possibility of mutiny in those troops.
The staff officer vehemently denied it, saying, "General! That's impossible. Our soldiers are all loyal to Annan and will never surrender to the Chinese."
"Then tell me, why is there no news at all when there are so many of them? It's impossible that they were all annihilated en masse?
Do you think it's possible? With the Chinese's rainforest combat capabilities, even if 600 pigs were released into the rainforest, the Chinese wouldn't be able to catch them all, right?"
With a snap!
General Wen slammed the table angrily and questioned several Northern Army staff officers.
“This, this, this…”
Just when this staff officer was speechless, suddenly another Confederate staff officer ran in hurriedly shouting.
"Oh no! General! Something terrible has happened!"
In the staff officer's hand, there was a copy of the People's Daily written entirely in Chinese characters.
"Why are you panicking? What serious thing could happen?"
General Wen, who was angry, taught his staff a lesson.
After all, the Southern staff officer he brought with him was so flustered and reckless, which was a disgrace to him as a general.
However……
His staff officer, however, had a sad face and waved the newspaper in his hand, saying: "General! General! Look quickly, this is the front-page headline of the People's Daily that we obtained from China this morning."
"Huh? Why am I watching their news?"
Although Wen Xiangqian was very unhappy, he still took it and took a look.
At this time in Annan, Chinese characters had just been abolished not long ago, and most people who were literate and had some culture could recognize Chinese characters.
Wen Xiangqian picked up the People's Daily and was immediately stunned.
The headline on the front page of the People's Daily read "The dignity of a great power cannot be challenged, our people's soldiers wipe out the Annan harassment troops."
It was a very long title, but every word seemed like a bullet piercing the heart, shooting towards Wen.
"This, this, this... this is impossible! How could they do this? They were more than 600 Annan marines who were extremely skilled in rainforest and mountain warfare!"
With his eyes wide open, Wen Xiangqian no longer believed it, but after seeing the details described in the text below, he had to admit that the 18 harassment troops he had sent out were really completely wiped out by the Chinese side.
"What? General! Our troops were completely wiped out?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Chinese army simply does not have such strength!"
“No wonder we haven’t received any response, because they have been completely wiped out by the Chinese army.”
…
The faces of the staff officers in the combat command room turned pale.
The combat troops sent out by our command center have to learn about their final status and results from newspapers in neighboring countries. This is simply a huge joke!
As long as this news gets to the higher-ups, everyone in their combat command room will be held accountable.
What’s more crucial is that all eighteen units were wiped out last night, and the impact caused was not just the loss of troops.
Rather, it is about Annan’s importance and availability in the international situation. How will the Soviet Union, which has just surrendered, view him as a younger brother?
They are talking big and can involve China in the south, causing a lot of harassment and obstacles to it.
As a result, eighteen harassment troops were wiped out in one go. What kind of ability is this!
"It's over! If what's said in the news is... all true, then it's really over."
With a snap!
Wen Xiangqian collapsed in the chair. He knew that once Annan lost its home advantage in the rainforest battle.
Faced with the powerful military force of the Chinese army, they are no match at all.
Not to mention that it would no longer be possible to send harassment troops to the Chinese border at any time as it pleased as before.
Even when a large-scale conflict really broke out before, even if Annan's army retreated to the rainforest area further inland, the advantages brought by it would no longer be able to form a natural barrier.
"Quick! Report this incident to Secretary Li urgently! We must reconsider our competition and relationship with China."
Wen Xiangqian, sweating profusely, thought deeply and immediately asked the liaison station to send a telegram.
