Joe Ga was also fighting a large-scale battle for the first time, and he had to face enemies coming from two different directions.
The mission of P·B was extremely challenging; they needed to eliminate the enemy's living forces without affecting civilians as much as possible.
This meant that P·B had to wait until 'Zetaka' and the mercenaries moved out of their towns before launching their most fierce attack.
Under these circumstances, the effect of an air strike was hard to guarantee; once they scattered the enemy, completely controlling them would be very difficult.
What P·B had to do was steadfastly guard the transit routes, drive those guys north, and then use helicopters in coordination with infantry to gradually devour them.
This was a massive undertaking; battles in modern warfare that result in the capture or killing of thousands in one fell swoop are rare, and P·B needed to take on this challenge.
