To win in speed, those coming for Gao Yang came by car, those coming to rescue Gao Yang also arrived by car, and driving meant they had to follow the highway.
The highway was about a kilometer to the east of Gao Yang, with a small road connecting to the main road. If on foot, they could approach Gao Yang's location from all directions, but if driving, they could only turn from the highway onto the small road.
A major disadvantage of night battles is the inability to identify foes by their uniforms or gear, making it hard to distinguish the commander from the crowd. Gao Yang couldn't delay the enemy's actions by shooting the commander.
The enemy had already spread out, advancing slowly yet resolutely. Judging by their tactical movements, the enemy also had high competence, making it very difficult for Gao Yang to continuously harm them.
