Prior to this, the 17102 Armored Battalion had already been committed to battle and had moved in front of the 17304 Mechanized Infantry Battalion, striking at the Fan Army's front line.
The key point is that the 17304 Mechanized Infantry Battalion has remained in a "paralyzed" state.
It is evident that to threaten the Fan Army, a focus strike should be on the 17102 Armored Battalion, but the Fan Army's long-range artillery aimed at the 17304 Mechanized Infantry Battalion.
The shelling lasted for nearly ten minutes before the Fan Army suddenly realized the mistake.
In those ten minutes, the 17102 Armored Battalion adjusted its offensive tactics, primarily by widening its front.
Although the artillery fire was still very fierce, most Main Battle Tanks managed to avoid disaster.
Additionally, by expanding to both sides of the highway, the 17102 Armored Battalion maneuvered to the Fan Army's rear flank, achieving a counter-encirclement.
