This time, Jue Win's withdrawal was really unexpected. Not only was Wu Er and others caught off guard, but even the Burmese government was caught off guard.

When the Myanmar government learned the news, it was furious!

U Ne Win was furious in the conference room. He could not accept this situation.

A death order was immediately issued: Wen Jue must capture Danlao within one month!

Once it exceeds a month, the rainy season will come, and it will be a pipe dream to think of entering the dense forests in the mountains at that time.

Therefore, the Myanmar government has put almost all its efforts into mobilizing all its main forces just to end the war before the rainy season.

However, U Ne Win never expected that although he chose a chief officer who seemed steady, this chief officer was too steady.

Let's take a look at what was written in the war report sent back? It actually claimed that the enemy troops they were facing were not local soldiers, but suspected that a major power had directly sent troops to participate in the war.

This extremely ridiculous excuse made Wu Ne Win more and more angry.

It should be noted that the Myanmar government has always been aware of the conscription situation in the Myeik region. It is an indisputable fact that it is impossible for other countries to intervene and send troops.

Faced with such outrageous battle reports, U Ne Win's anger became increasingly difficult to contain.

This war is of vital importance to Myanmar. If we fail to achieve victory quickly and eliminate the local armed forces, the Myeik armed forces will be able to gain a foothold and it will be more difficult to eliminate them in the future.

But now, the chief officer used such a ridiculous reason to evade him, which was undoubtedly a serious provocation to his authority.

Wu Ne Win dragged his heavy and tired feet slowly back to his office, sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples gently.

Although he knew in his heart that it was unlikely that a powerful country would personally participate, the battle reports from the first battle still made him terrified.

According to reports, the death toll of the Myanmar Army exceeded 1400!

The death toll of Indian mercenaries also reached more than 500.

So many soldiers died, but relatively few were injured.

The Burmese army suffered such heavy casualties mainly due to artillery bombardment.

Most of the Burmese soldiers died on the spot in the shelling. Those who did not die immediately were directly included in the death list in subsequent statistics because the Burmese army was only concerned with escaping during the retreat and no one cared about the wounded lying on the ground.

As for the Indian mercenaries, the situation is even simpler and clearer.

They were responsible for battlefield reconnaissance, which was a very dangerous task and they were often attacked by cold guns. Those who were not attacked were only concerned with escaping the battlefield as quickly as possible, and had no time to care whether their teammates who were shot were still alive.

Similarly, as long as these mercenaries did not return to the camp, they would all be counted as dead.

These are 2,000 people! They are the elite forces of the Burmese army! In just one day, they were lost.

For Myanmar, which had just gained independence, facing such a huge loss was truly heartbreaking.

At this moment, Ne Win began to doubt whether he could successfully eliminate the Myeik armed forces.

Jue Wen, who was resting on the front line in Aning, was shocked when he saw the urgent report.

This urgent report not only did not approve his proposal to establish a defense line in the Aning area, but directly urged him to send troops and required him to capture Dan Lao within a month.

Faced with such an order, Jue Wen felt helpless.

After fighting with the Myeik armed forces, Jue Wen has witnessed the powerful combat effectiveness of the Myeik armed forces.

In comparison, the strength of the Myanmar Army is even inferior.

Although he was confident that he could capture Yecheng with his numerical advantage, it would also mean a huge price in casualties.

Once we enter the mountainous area, the losses will probably be even greater.

In his opinion, it was simply a fantasy to take down Dan Lao within a month.

As the highest commander of this army, Jue Wen can only watch his soldiers go to their deaths.

He understood that if he did not obey orders and insisted on building a defense line, he would inevitably face trial by a military court in the future, and his life and death would depend entirely on U Ne Win's whim.

However, if he obeyed the order and launched the attack, even if he failed in the end, it would be the failure caused by following Ne Win's instructions. The worst result would be dismissal, but at least he would not be tried.

But if we make this decision...
