Actually, Deng Hong wasn't stupid; it was just that jealousy and a sense of crisis had clouded his vision, leading him to misjudge the situation. His irrational outburst due to envy towards his deputy was a big taboo on the battlefield! Yet while he was blind to this fact, others were not fools. The opponents were clearly formidable, and even if they used up all their rockets, it probably wouldn't make a difference, and they would have simply wasted ammunition.
Moreover, because of Deng Hong, this group had completely offended the other party, and it wouldn't be easy to negotiate. They had only one option: to attack tentatively. If the opponents were weaker than they had anticipated, they would take them down along with capturing Peace Base. If the opponents' strength was too great, they would have to temporarily retreat and report back to their leader to see what he wanted to do.
