Chapter 257 - 252 Shepherd Dog
Gao Yuan and the Indians both made a grave mistake, which was that Gao Yuan had seriously overestimated the enemy’s combat strength, while the enemy had seriously overestimated their numbers.
An entire reinforced battalion, the count reaching eight hundred, and they were actually, actually infiltrated by just three people?
Only one mortar shell fell, and then Gao Yuan and his men watched, dumbfounded, as sudden chaos erupted within the enemy camp.
And it was extreme chaos.
Gao Yuan saw Yu Shunzhou and his men break into the enemy camp and then quickly disappear from view, leaving only the faint sound of gunfire. But soon, he saw large numbers of people running out of the camp.
They were swept by the machine guns manned by Li Jingang and Panxin, and those who had just run out from the camp actually turned around and fled, heading south along the highway.
The machine gun position that was still exchanging fire with Gao Yuan and his men instantly fell silent, because those men had also run away.
Gao Yuan turned to Li Jingang, eyes wide with disbelief, and said, "What’s going on here? I... I don’t understand!"
Li Jingang ceased firing because the enemy had started to flee. If he kept firing now, it would make the enemy feel cornered and they might decide to fight to the death, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Li Jingang, without turning his head, said, "Don’t you know what the Indians are like? Isn’t this normal? Of course, this result still surprises me; eight hundred people, they should have fought for some time before collapsing."
