Gao Yang clapped his hands and said loudly, "Guys, retreat, let's leave enough buffer space. One thousand mi is too close; I don't want to have enemy tanks rushing over my head again. So before our reinforcements arrive, let the British show off for a while."
After finishing his speech, Gao Yang said into the walkie-talkie, "Change of plans: the first and sixth platoons are to pull back two thousand mi, re-establish our lines of defense, dig trenches, and antitank pits. The second and third platoons, move into the woods on the right flank and set up positions, making sure to keep a safe distance to prevent enemy sneak attacks, especially watch out for their night raids. The rest of the troops are to protect our supply landing site."
