Chapter 572: The situation deteriorates

Lin Dong hurriedly came to the base command camp.

Early this morning, he received news from the soldiers that Nils had an urgent matter for him to meet with the command camp of the base.

It has been almost two months since Lin Dong arrived in Central Africa, and except for the previous battle, the rest of the time Bria is quite peaceful.

In some scattered skirmishes, the government forces did not suffer any damage, but caused a lot of losses to the rebels.

And this level of battle will not alarm the people of the Dragon Soul.

"General Nils, I wonder what happened to me in such a hurry?"

Looking at Nils, whose arm injury was almost healed, Lin Dong asked out loud.

"Captain of the Dragon God, come and see, this is the news I just got today, the northern rebels and the Boji government are fighting!"

"Oh?"

Lin Dong's expression moved, and he became interested.

Taking the document handed over by Niels, Lin Dong looked at it carefully.

It turned out that just yesterday evening, the rebels in the north suddenly launched an attack on important cities in northern Central Africa, including the capital of Bamingi-Bangolan province, Ndailai, Odada and Sam Odiga.

By dawn, the cities of Ndale and others were occupied by the rebels, and the garrison government forces had to withdraw from many cities in the north, giving them to the rebels.

The battle, which lasted several hours, resulted in forty or fifty casualties among the government forces and more than a hundred for the rebels.

In comparison, the armed forces in the hands of the Boji government are still significantly higher than the rebels, and the street battles carried out with the help of city streets and other things have caused a lot of trouble to the rebels when they are absolutely inferior in numbers.

However, this battle was not only the loss of the city, but also the government army did not take away a lot of heavy weapons because they were too hasty when they retreated, and in the end they all cheapened the northern rebels, so that the strength of the rebels increased a lot.

Of the cities that missed, Ndale's loss had the greatest impact on the Boji government.

Ndale itself is a small town with a population of only about 11,000 people, but it is a market in the northeastern part of the Central African Republic and the capital of the province of Bamingi-Bangoran, located east of the Bamingi-Bangolan National Park, at an altitude of 515 meters above sea level, and the town also has airport facilities.

The loss of such towns had a great impact on the Boji government's control over vast areas of the north. The most important thing is that this kind of place will bring great economic benefits to the rebels, so that the rebels, who have always been constrained by money, will get the best chance to grow.

"Are there any unusual movements of the rebels in the east?"

Putting down the information in his hand, Lin Dong looked at Nils and asked.

"Nope."

Nils shook his head.

"Since we annihilated more than a thousand rebel troops in the east, the eastern rebel alliance can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and now they may not have the courage to cater to the attack of the rebels in the north."

"We can't relax, we don't know who is standing behind these rebels, so we can't be careless about them."

As far as Lin Dong knows, there is a force led by the Ugandan rebel Omo in the northern rebel army, they are very strong, and there is a big arms dealer standing behind them, who knows how far they have developed now.

"Haha, don't worry, now we have enough manpower, the outposts, patrols, and scouts outside are constantly monitoring the perimeter of Bria, and we won't let the enemy come under our noses to attack again!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong nodded, and stopped saying anything.

He had already reminded him that his duty had been done, and the rest depended on whether the rebels were bold.

"That's right, this time, in addition to telling the Dragon God Regiment Leader the news of the northern rebels, there is another thing I want to discuss with you."

Lin Dong nodded, "General Nils, please." ”

"Well, in the south of our Bria, go south along the Bangui-Birao road and you will reach Bambari.

This is the capital of the province of Huaca. It has a population of more than 40,000 people. On the left bank of the Whaka River, a tributary of the Ubangi River, is the central city of the Central Highlands.

It is a distribution center for agricultural and forestry products such as cotton, rubber and timber in China and Africa. There are small industries such as cotton ginning, oil extraction, soap, etc.

There are diamond and nickel mines nearby. It is an important land and water transport hub in the central region, where multiple highways intersect, connecting the capital Bangui and major provincial capitals. The Kawa River is navigable most of the year.

It is also the end point of the river transport tax, and if it is occupied by the rebels, it will change the situation of the entire war in Central Africa.

That's why the Boji government wants us to send troops to defend Bambari with them and prevent it from falling into the hands of the rebels. ”

"Bambari?"

This place Lin Dong was very unfamiliar, he had not heard of this city.

"Yes, Captain Ryujin, please see."

Nils pointed to the map on his desk and said, "Look, this is the Bangui-Birao road, and here we are." ”

Tapping to a red dot on the map, Nils continued: "This is Bria, and then go down the road, over the mountains on the border between the provinces of Haute Koto and Vaca, and then go about a hundred kilometers to Bambari." ”

"There are about 500 government guards in Bambari now, and although they are well-equipped and veterans, they are too few to stop if the rebels in the east really launch a large-scale attack."

Lin Dong carefully checked the distance between the two cities, raised his head and said, "General, don't you think these two cities are too far apart?" ”

"If we support Bambari, how many people will we send? These people have to think about the resources that need to be wasted on such a long distance, and the possibility of being attacked by the rebels.

In addition, even if you can enter Bambari safely, at such a long distance, the soldiers supporting you can be said to have completely cut off contact with us, and the battle on both sides is not able to support us in a short time, so this point also needs to be judged by you, General. ”

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Dong's words, Nils fell into deep thought, and he was now weighing the gains and losses of this mission in his heart.

Thinking about the conditions given by Boji before, to be honest, Nils is very tempted.

"Captain of the Dragon God, in fact, there is a way to solve your worries."

After listening to Nils's words, Lin Dong knew that he had made a choice.

"It seems that the conditions proposed by the other party have made Nils very excited, and he can even give up his own army temporarily."

Thinking in his heart, Lin Dong quietly waited for Nils's solution.
