The following week, Pablo's assembled team set off one after another. As Karl had said, they split into two routes, heading south-west, a feint along the way. They set out first, supposedly to attack an area where the guerrillas were concentrated. They're going to attack like crazy and show that's what the main force looks like. The main force led by Pablo himself did not move for the time being, but Karl told us that their goal was to go directly south, and after feintifying the troops along the way to mobilize the defense of the guerrillas, they went all the way south at a very fast speed to directly threaten the center of the guerrilla forces. When I asked if it would be too risky to fight like this, Karl explained that he was not prepared to actually attack there, but as long as he did, whether the guerrillas believed it or not, they would make a move to save them, and it was these people who came to the rescue who really wanted to be killed. When I heard him say this, I immediately understood that they were attacking and save, and they were encircling and sending reinforcements.

Five days after the feint set off, a battle report was sent back from the front. That way, having managed to break through the defense lines of the partisans, is continuing to advance towards the set goal. After another three days, Pablo suddenly assembled a team that was already ready to sharpen his knives and gave the order to go. Of course, the rest of us set off with us. Karl told us that the guerrillas had moved their troops to intercept the feints, and that the opportunity had arisen.

Pablo's main attacking team is actually not very large, much less than the team that went to feint. But these people have been selected, and the weapons and equipment are the best. From large and small caliber mortars, light and heavy machine guns, flamethrowers. Two more helicopter gunships are on standby. After the departure, they advanced quickly, crossing the demarcation line of forces, and after some skirmishes, and after a quick breakup of the guerrillas stragglers, they advanced to the vicinity of the village where Pablo had been imprisoned.

Here the guerrillas began a battle that was truly defensive. However, in front of Pablo's well-prepared team, the battle ended quickly. The defending partisans held out for just over two hours before being routed and quickly retreating with heavy losses.

Pablo, on the other hand, did not rest at all, and continued to lead the team all the way to the assault after leaving the wounded. It's like a German panzer division in World War II. Soon after, the tide of the war changed, as the guerrillas discovered that something was wrong. Begin to draw teams to flank Pablo, who has now penetrated into their sphere of influence. But Pablo and Carl had already made a plan and a plan to deal with it. The whole team suddenly changed the direction of the attack and headed northwest, while the feint team increased its attack again and changed to a south-facing assault, preparing to flank the two teams that were still defending against Pablo and the guerrillas who were still defending against the feint. According to Karl, the number of these partisans was about a thousand or so, and what is even more interesting is that the wizard is likely to take the rest of his immediate team with him in this thousand-odd number. This news seemed to have fueled Pablo's fighting spirit even more, and he rushed to the guerrillas with his team, but the guerrillas, who were only facing a two-sided attack, seemed to be prepared.

They set up a defensive line, and although they lost their first battle after encountering Pablo, they quickly gained a foothold after retreating slightly. There is no appearance of breaking through because of the need to be flanked. After trying a few more attacks and not taking them quickly, Pablo began to panic a little, after all, everyone could sense that the guerrillas had made up their minds to hold on and wait for reinforcements. At this moment, judging from the information coming in, the guerrillas are coming from all directions. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that he can't fight, but Pablo doesn't want to fall into a bitter battle, he is like a businessman, he has lost too much before, and he has made a lot recently, but the more he earns, the more afraid he is of losing back again. That is, he fell into the psychological barrier of wanting to win and being afraid of losing. It was a bit of a dilemma at first, hesitating. More importantly, if these guerrillas cannot be dealt with quickly, it will be difficult to say who will be caught in the middle of the attack.

A day later, Pablo finally couldn't help it, because Pablo wanted to besiege the other side, but in the battle for a small town, the guerrillas took the upper hand, and the opponent not only repelled the attackers of the town, but also gained a foothold in the town. This town is next to the road leading to the encirclement, and if it is not sealed, then the guerrillas will receive support from time to time, and even later become a breakthrough for the guerrillas in the encirclement after a large number of reinforcements arrive.

Pablo, after consulting with Carl, finally let us play. He put Carl in charge of the battle to capture the town, and the people there were all under Karl's command, and whatever weapons and equipment were needed, as long as there was something here, it could be satisfied.

Carl took our group and a hundred others to the outskirts of the town. There were more than 200 self-defense forces here, and according to the descriptions of these people, there were about fifty or sixty guerrilla forces in the town, and some local civilians joined them to cooperate with their defense, but the total number would not exceed 100.

I looked at the town, and it was indeed next to a big road. There was no one on the road and in the town at the moment, and the whole town was as quiet as if no one was there. It's just that the houses that have been dilapidated by the conflict and the black smoke that drifts from time to time make people feel that there are people hiding there.

The previous person in charge of the place, Joao, pointed to the houses on the outskirts of the town and said, "These houses are hiding guerrillas. These people are cunning, they only leave the observation post in the house. It was only when we began the shelling that the attack began in earnest that others entered the dilapidated houses. And they don't just start firing guns, they always let us go into the open field near the town before they shoot. When we approached them, they didn't hold out. Instead, they quickly retreated into the town. But when you enter the town, there are bullets coming everywhere, and there will be people coming back from the new ones trying to cut off the retreat of those who enter. I fought twice before, the first time I couldn't come out, the second time it was a little better, I sent someone to choke the way out, but the loss was still very large. And in the middle of the town, do you see the bell tower? The highest place in town. It's a church, it's a good vantage point, and every time we do something, they're in control. ”

Karl nodded after listening to the man's description and asked, "Was this town in your hands or in the hands of the guerrillas?" ”

Joao shook his head and said, "Neither. We're fighting for it. But we didn't beat them, in fact we were one step ahead of them. But they move very quickly and have good marksmanship. After touching the sentry I had just arranged, he caught us off guard. ”

Walker heard him say this, bowed his head and whispered to me, "How do I feel a bit like a wizard?" ”

I glanced at him, and then at Carl, who had also heard Walker, but he didn't speak. Carl thought for a moment and then turned to Walker and me, "How's it going?" Do you guys have any ideas? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't think a frontal attack will work." Why don't we try it when it's dark? With that, I looked at Walker.

Walker heard me say this, smiled and said, "Since the other party is not simple, it is impossible to be unprepared at night, right?" ”

Karl spoke, "Make some noise before this to get their attention." And then you guys go up. ”

"Striking the West?" I nodded, "But it's a little louder." It has to look like the real thing. ”

Carl nodded, "Of course." I'm pretty good at this. Let's start with the specific steps to try it out. ”
