After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Chapter 616: Garrison in Shuanglin Town and build a defensive position!

"Emergency intelligence from the front line?"

"Say!"

Commander Bauer was shocked at first, and then he asked anxiously.

"Commander-in-chief, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army suddenly ordered the Third and Fifth Army of the Xia Kingdom, as well as Yang Jianguo's 36th Army and three divisions of the Eighth Route Army to garrison Shuanglin Town ahead of our vanguard!"

"Among them, the Third and Fifth Armies will build the first line of defense, and the three divisions of the 36th Army and the Eighth Route Army will be responsible for the security of their flanks!"

"Looking at the Xia army's situation, they seem to be preparing to have a big fight with us!" After taking a breath, the communicator said solemnly.

"what?"

"Xia State dispatched two army groups and one corps, plus three divisions of troops to garrison Shuanglin Town?"

After hearing the report from the communicator, Commander Bauer widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

"Yes, Commander. Most of their troops have been dispatched, leaving only 309 troops stationed at Hill !"

The communicator nodded vigorously.

"Shuanglin Town?"

Commander Bauer frowned and suddenly stood up and looked at the military map on the wall.

Just now he was drinking tea leisurely, but now the Xia Kingdom not only sent troops, but also tried to stop their troops from occupying Shuanglin Town.

Is it really worth it for the Xia Kingdom to mobilize so many troops for a mere Shuanglin Town?

A series of questions lingered in Ball's mind. He scratched his head and racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

What is the purpose of Xia Guo doing this?

"Commander-in-chief, are they sending troops to Shuanglin Town because this place is very important, or is it a transportation hub?"

The deputy next to him swallowed subconsciously.

"Yes, I just looked carefully. This place is indeed very important. It has convenient transportation and a developed economy. It has always been a battleground for military strategists!"

"I think the reason why Xia Country doesn't want us to occupy this place is because of this reason, right?"

Commander Bauer gave a somewhat far-fetched explanation with a wry smile on his face.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that his explanation seemed a bit untenable!

Let’s not talk about how important Shuanglin Town is, but it is just a town at most. Is it necessary for the Xia Kingdom to mobilize such a large force?

"Commander, what should we do now?" The deputy couldn't help but sigh and asked tentatively.

"Immediately send an order to Marshal Mosier, requiring them to take over the area in the shortest possible time at all costs!"

After hesitating for a while, Commander Bauer waved his hand and said.

"Yes! Commander!"

The deputy agreed and was about to leave.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, an urgent telegram from the Mao Bear Country Command!"

At this moment, a communicator came in hurriedly and reported loudly.

"An urgent telegram from the Mao Bear Country's headquarters?"

"Say!"

After hearing the communicator's report, Commander Bauer frowned slightly and his heart skipped a beat.

Since both the southern and northern battlefields were in a relatively quiet state, no telegrams had been received from the Bear Country for a long time.

Could this sudden telegram mean that something happened in the Bear Country?

"Commander, Commander Silin of the Maoxiong Country was very confused after learning that a large number of troops from the Xia Country were stationed in Shuanglin Town."

"So I sent an urgent telegram to remind the commander to be on guard and avoid cheating by the Xia Kingdom!" The communicator paused for a moment and then replied quickly.

After saying that, the communicator handed the telegram to Commander Borel.

"Well, Commander Silin is right. The Xia army's actions must be hiding a bigger conspiracy!"

"Also, notify Mosier immediately and tell him to be vigilant and careful when attacking Shuanglin Town!"

After reading the telegram from beginning to end, Commander Bauer gave a decisive order.

"Yes! Commander!"

The deputy quickly stood at attention and agreed, then quickly left the headquarters.

......

The battlefield on the southern border of Xia State.

Inside an extremely secret command center.

A tall commander stared at the military map hanging on the wall with sharp eyes, but his brows gradually relaxed.

"Where is the vanguard now?"

Suddenly, the commander looked at his deputy next to him and spoke in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Marshal, our vanguard is still about ten kilometers away from Shuanglin Town!" the deputy replied quickly.

"Shuanglin Town?"

"I heard that this place is rich in economy and has a large population. If we can seize this place, it will be a great achievement!"

After finding the location of Shuanglin Town on the map, the middle-aged commander Mosier smiled rarely.

Recently, our troops have been busy occupying important towns and transportation routes along the border of Xia State.

But what is strange is that the Xia Kingdom never responded at all, as if it had turned a blind eye to their invasion.

"Report to the marshal!"

"Urgent telegram from the High Command!"

Just at this moment, a communicator walked in quickly and reported loudly.

"An urgent telegram from the High Command?"

"Say it!"

Mosier was stunned for a moment, then he gestured.

"Marshal, according to intelligence, Xiaguo's Third Army and Fifth Army on the southern battlefield, as well as Yang Jianguo's 36th Army and most of the Eighth Route Army, have already built defensive positions near Shuanglin Town!"

"From the looks of it, it seems like they want to stop our vanguard from entering Shuanglin Town!"

The communicator hesitated for a moment, then reported loudly.

"What? You said that most of the troops on the southern front of Xia Country have arrived at Shuanglin Town and have built defensive positions nearby?"

After hearing the communicator's report, Mosier couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After dealing with the Xia Kingdom for such a long time, I have never seen them care about any town on the border.

But now, they have actually taken the initiative to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison the Shuanglin Town area?

What exactly does the Xia Kingdom want to do by doing this?

"Yes, Commander. Our vanguard has just sent a telegram saying that most of the troops from Xia Country have already arrived in Shuanglin Town!"

The communicator answered quickly.

"Commander-in-chief, it seems that the Xia Kingdom is not planning to hide any longer this time. They probably want to have a real fight with us, otherwise they wouldn't be putting on such a big show!"

The deputy next to him couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, does the High Command have any other instructions?"

After a slight pause, Moser looked at the communicator beside him and asked.
