It was the outer guard of the Marine Corps who arrived, and they were still ordered very early to search for possible Medeno spies in the mountains and forests near the south, but because there was a large area of undeveloped jungle south of Champa Port, there was no way to search for the enemy in a short time, not to mention that these Medeno people had specially dragged their boats ashore and hid them in the woods when they landed at dawn.

Of course, the Maidno people would come to peek at the exercise, and the Army Intelligence Bureau naturally got the information early in the morning. Since the Medeno sneak attack on the Senate naval fleet, there has been a long-range reconnaissance unit of a special reconnaissance team entrenched in the middle of a certain seaside hill north of Wenshan Port for a long time, and in addition, several groups of informants have been developed in the field of the Army Intelligence Bureau in Wenshan Port - it is not difficult to say that with the addition of the Ito Army, there are tens of thousands of Japanese naturalized people under the rule of the Senate, and these naturalized people are more or less related to each other because they are all from Japan, Wenshan Port is a city with a large number of Japanese immigrants, so the Japanese field agents recruited by the Army Intelligence Bureau easily infiltrated Wenshan Port, and also developed a large number of informants by the way.

These informants in Wenshan Port have all kinds of jobs, that is, there are miscellaneous subordinates in the government, there are also soap lis patrolling the streets, and naturally there are peddlers and pawns who walk the streets and alleys, and more are beggars who are all over Wenshan Port but will not attract attention at all. Since the important officials and generals of Maidno lived in Wenshan Harbor, and they all had their own mansions, at least one or two informants would keep an eye on the front and back doors of each mansion, and as long as they went out, they would follow behind and report to the intelligence station at any time. And these people who have been tracked throughout the whole process feel very safe because they are in the sphere of influence of "their own people", and they will never do anything to deliberately cover up their whereabouts, so they are actually a one-way transparency compared to the Army Intelligence Bureau, they don't know what the Senate is doing, but the Senate knows almost everything about them.

In the intelligence summary of the previous night, the Wenshan Port Intelligence Station found that the commanders of several important units gathered at the mansion of the naval commander Kirkman outside Wenshan Port at the same time at night, so they sent informants hidden in Kirkman's mansion to collect information, but because the Medeno people naturally did not use Chinese or Annam for talks, the intelligence collected by the wiretapping informants had little effect, but they still heard the words "Chinese" and "Champong Port".

The Intelligence Bureau sent the news to the Army Intelligence Bureau of Dongfang Port by radio as soon as possible, and Ren Xuefeng immediately convened an intelligence analysis meeting after receiving the information. By analyzing the information sent from Wenshan Port, they obtained many different analysis results: first, it was naturally guessed that the Medeno people were preparing to gather all the troops of Wenshan Port to attack Dongfang Port or Zhancheng Port, after all, the people who came to Kirkman's residence for a meeting were all high-ranking officers with military power in Wenshan Port, but this conjecture was quickly rejected directly, according to the report of the observatory north of Wenshan Port, the entire Medeno fleet did nothing at night except for unloading supplies and troops on the trestle bridge of Wenshan Port. You must know that it is winter now, Wenshan Port and Dongfang Port are all north winds, if you do not anchor at night, you will not be able to reach Dongfang Port before the day, even if you reach Zhancheng Port, it is very reluctant. And to carry out a full-scale military operation, it is not an operation that can be done by a few dozen ships, at least the entire fleet outside the port of Wenshan must be active to carry out, if the fleet of the Medeno people is not active now, then it is not such a large military operation; The second analysis was that the Medeno were preparing to move north with a small force to interfere with the Senate navy's maneuvers, but given that the Medeno had already suffered a major loss to the sail destroyers in the previous naval battle, they were less likely to conduct military operations at sea. However, it is likely that the Medenor would ship the marines north, and when they reached the vicinity of the port of Champang, they would come ashore to attack. However, after discussion, it was felt that this possibility was also very low, and the intelligence agencies had analyzed the landing capabilities of the Medeno, and their fleet had arrived at Wenshan Port for quite some time, and until now, a considerable amount of supplies and personnel have not been transported ashore. Even if the Medeno people live at sea all year round and have a strong ability to resist the waves, they will still be unbearable for such a long time, so it is impossible to directly use the marine troops floating outside Wenshan Port to carry out such an operation, but there are no ground troops to start boarding ships at the trestle and wharf of Wenshan Port, so this possibility is almost non-existent; Then the last possibility is left, the Medenor want to peek at the joint exercises of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps that the Senate will take place the next day south of the port of Champa. In order to peep at the exercise, there were very few people to move forward, the ships used were almost negligible, and they could lurk at any point in the vast jungle south of Champa Harbor to observe, but the Chinese army really wanted to find them out of a needle in a haystack, so after such an analysis, the intelligence bureau could almost determine the last possibility, and even so, they submitted three possibilities to the Joint Chiefs of Staff through a report.

After receiving the information, the Joint Chiefs of Staff also quickly convened a meeting to discuss, and the participants were divided into several factions, some of whom felt that the Senate army had now developed a powerful combat power that was no less powerful than the Zenith technology for this time and space, and could crush all the forces of this time and space, if the Medenor people wanted to peep, they would let it go, and the more they watched, the more they felt that the technological generation gap between the two could not be bridged, so they gave up the idea of going against the Senate army and bowed down to China; However, some people feel that this is not possible, now the training method of the Chinese army is absolutely unusual, and it is still the inevitable trend of historical development, although at this moment the Maidno people due to the accuracy and power of weapons can not achieve a comprehensive learning from the Chinese, but backwardness will not be forever, once the Maidno people master the manufacturing methods of stronger weapons, they can quickly understand the principles of these tactics according to the power of weapons and quickly put them into actual operation, reducing the detours in military development. If the enemy takes fewer detours, then the Senate will inevitably pay a heavy price, so the Medeno people cannot be allowed to see the exercises.

This exercise is the first joint military exercise, and the input and coordinated operation of multiple arms is also the first attempt by the Senate army, in which many units and units, and between arms and arms are very blunt, and because the formation of various arms of the army almost started at the same time, the momentum of competition between the various arms of the army is very obvious, and in the exercise just now, the officers of different units almost shouted at each other to carry out the exercise, and I don't know if this discord in the Senate army has been discovered by the Meedno spies.

The Marines who had arrived on the perimeter had already landed after the first batch of beach-grabbing, and their task was to search for possible enemies in the nearby mountains and forests. As the inheritors of the spirit of "the Marine Corps marching forward bravely" advocated by Xue Ziliang every day, they would rather rush and kill on the beachhead and show their heroic posture in amphibious operations to the land turtles in the joint exercise, rather than searching for some enemies that may not exist here. As a result, they were a little discouraged all morning, and they didn't eat any hot food at the beginning of the ensuing meal...... Due to the special nature of their mission, they could neither rush back to the beach to eat a hot meal, nor would any soldiers bring them food, so they could only nibble on the teeth bricks in a bamboo kettle.

Depressed, they grumbled as they nibbled on the compressed dry food that could almost be used to crush the enemy, and drank the water with a slight salty taste. But after a while, someone smelled a trace of fragrance, which undoubtedly lifted their spirits, light salt water is definitely no fragrance, compressed dry food has no fragrance, then these fragrances are undoubtedly from the enemy, as long as you follow the fragrance to find the past, you will definitely be able to find the hidden enemy.

In fact, when it comes to the fragrance, it is quite aggrieved, and this fragrance comes from the thermos held by the Medeno orderlies. Since this was a lunch for a few Medeno generals, and the generals ate hard biscuits, the cooks who wanted them to taste better naturally wanted to prepare a better tasting soup for them, so in addition to a variety of ingredients, the soup in this thermos also put a lot of spices to increase the flavor of the soup.

Smell is a taboo in warfare, but most of the Medenor's battles take place at sea, and land battles are often smooth sailing, so little attention is paid to masking the smell of food - the smell of cigarette smoke can travel about 50 meters in the jungle, and the smell of food can reach at least 200 meters away, so when the orderlies smash the hard biscuits and soak them in the soup, the soup in their bowls radiates the fragrance far away, revealing their approximate location.

Kirkman was now under the pull of the two orderlies and quickly ran towards the ship's hiding point, he was full of thoughts about what he had seen at the last moment, several very large things were driving down from the docked trestle, that thing looked very heavy, when driving on the trestle, the trestle obviously sank a lot, and the lucky ship bounced up a lot of height from the water. These huge things had wheels underneath, a spatula in front of them, and chimneys at the front, spewing black smoke and white vapor like the boats.

"Bang-" "Bang-" Several Medeno people in the back were chased in a panic, took out the flintlock pistol on their waists, and pulled the trigger on the pursuing Chinese soldiers. But because it was in the jungle, the visibility was very low, and at the same time it was a hasty shot, and the distance between the two sides was seventy or eighty meters, and these flintlock pistols did not hurt the Chinese soldiers except for a large burst of lead that crackled the bushes and tree trunks nearby.

But the sound of gunfire was an order, and the pursuing soldiers immediately ducked and hid behind nearby bushes or tree trunks, carefully observing the resistors in front. When they spotted the resisters in front of them scrambling to reload their pistols, they began to aim and fire. With a thud, a rain of bullets swept across the woods on the side of the Meedno, and the muffled sound of scattered debris and bullets hitting them around them startled the resistant.

Russell, who heard these voices, couldn't help but froze and turned his head to look over. Before that, he was very skeptical about the power of the Chinese's weapons, and even if he read one report after another and swore that the Chinese's weapons were sharp, he still did not believe that it was true. Even when he saw the hot drill on the beach just now, he felt that the Chinese had done something on the target, deliberately letting the crude musket shooting show its power.

But now these bullets are hitting him, and the warheads hit the wood debris around him and popping, but fortunately, the visibility in the jungle is not high, so no one is hit. Even so, he was still scared into a sweat, recalling that today's behavior was too risky, and now the Chinese are a hundred steps away, and if they really catch up, they will definitely hit the people on their side.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Mycenae shouted loudly, threw away the brass telescope in his hand and ran towards the place where the ship was hidden, and several orderly soldiers around him were stunned, but then reacted and hurriedly chased after him. At this moment, Mycenae's heart suddenly recalled the terrible situation in the naval battle that day, the Chinese's bullets were like woodpeckers on the board of the ship on their side, debris and blood were splashed, screams and gunfire were everywhere, and the horror that could only be beaten but could not do anything came to his heart.

At the shouts of Mycenaeus, the Medenor soldiers also woke up from a dream, threw away their pistols, which had not had time to load, turned around and ran towards the place where the ship was hidden. The Marines were still shooting at the moment, they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and the rising smoke almost completely blocked their vision, and by the time they found that there was no enemy on the other side, the Medeno had already run away.

"Stop the pursuit! Stop the pursuit! The platoon commander waved his hands and shouted, "Don't pursue!" Let's go back! The soldiers checked their magazines, checked the reload, and began to slowly retreat in the direction of the beach north of the woods. The jungle is not something that anyone can enter and exit whenever they want to, and once they lose their way, the end is death, so without a guide or a special investigation team to lead, no one will rush into the jungle with unknown circumstances to pursue.

With a cheer from the beach, the first steam bulldozer was already on the beach, and the tracks were rolling forward, and they were being guided by the soldiers towards the area where the leveling operation was to be carried out.
