Bab 950: Chapter 709: Barton's Choice

```

November 9, 1928, two days after the artillery position was attacked.

Brigadier General Pan Xing sat gloomily in the headquarters, studying the situation map of the battlefield with a magnifying glass.

Standing next to him was Deputy Officer George Smith Barton, General Pan Xing's deputy officer, and sitting at the table next to them were many upper echelons from the Western Front Army, including brigade generals and chiefs of staff.

Rubbing his brow, General Pan Xing then inquired, "What is the situation with each unit?"

"Your Excellency, Commander," the brigade general responsible for defending the New Town to Williston line immediately reported, "We lack all kinds of supplies, and some of our wounded are also unable to receive proper aid.

There are at least two brigades of enemy forces stationed opposite in Waterford, I need at least a brigade of support to resist the enemy's offense."
