Gao Guang had to leave someone behind to regroup his troops.
This battalion commander was indeed the best choice. Although handing over his own cannons was extremely painful, he consoled himself with the thought that what he lost could soon be regained. Now that he was commanding a heavy artillery regiment instead of just a battalion, it wouldn't be too painful.
As for the reason, of course, it was that they had overextended too fast. After the air raid, they were unable to reconvene, so the battalion commander and his men were captured.
The helicopter did a circle in the sky; those soldiers were already scared to death. Molatu called people to retreat quickly, and the appearance of a routed army in defeat naturally emerged, without any need for acting.
Gao Guang stood by the radio, listening to the continual calls coming through. Finally, he felt it was about time and reached for the radio handset.
"I'm Mad Dog, this place is now under my control."
