Extract from the Story
When the enemy (tribal guerrilla invaders), under the command of the Pakistani army, saw that only a small group of Indian soldiers were left behind in Badgam, they attacked them.

Answer: It shows that he could think beyond what was immediately visible. Instead of assuming the first attack was the main threat, he anticipated a larger move. This quick judgement helped him understand the real danger facing D Company.
