Chapter 315: Coordinated Operations
As soon as the Blackwater General Staff Headquarters' decision to increase troops was passed, the Intelligence Section, which was in charge of information transmission, immediately reported the good news to the Oshima troops, and also informed him how to deal with the Dutch.
It was given to Zhou Yu to let the Dutch station in the Blackwater camp give a reply, if there was no such instruction Oshima and the others agreed privately, although they would not be punished, but a lecture would definitely be inevitable.
In the camp of United City, the messenger accompanying the combat unit handed a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters to Oshima: "Sir, the General Staff Headquarters has sent a telegram to order that our camp will be reinforced in ten days, and our troops will not be engaged in large-scale battles within ten days, and the battle can be basically changed to defense." ”
The correspondent read the telegram in one breath, and then handed it to Oshima and retreated, and Zhou Yu stood aside and naturally heard the contents of the telegram.
"Sir, this time the General Staff Headquarters has agreed with our ideas, which is very important for us to capture the capital of Landak."
"Yes, I didn't expect the staff to agree, but if this war wants to end quickly, we must send additional troops, otherwise the investment in the early stage will be lost, how is the situation on the Dutch side, can it survive?"
At present, the Dutch are barely holding on, and last night according to statistics, the Landaks launched nearly eight attacks, although they were all repulsed, but the Dutch also had a dozen wounded, and three were killed at the same time.
Eight attacks, Oshima couldn't help but think in his heart, it seems that the Landaks are indeed ready to resist to the end, but it won't be too long, it won't be good for them to continue to fight, this war will end in half a year at most, as long as Blackwater can hold out for half a year, it can win.
It's just that Blackwater doesn't have half a year, and if it is fought for half a year, then Oshima doesn't need to be the commander, and Blackwater's combat time has strict tasks. The people in the staff are not vegetarians.
"Send a man over and send a message to our partners saying that Blackwater can provide them with material assistance, but they must stay and fight with us, and if necessary, they must be highly obedient to our arrangements, and if they agree, they will be stationed in our camp."
"Yes, sir, I'm here myself, and I think the Dutch will be more than willing." Zhou Yu said with a smug smile.
The Dutch camp was full of vicissitudes, and traces of operations and battles could be seen everywhere, both in tents and on the ground, there were arrows fired by the Landaks. The protective fence made of twigs and other items was also breached, and the Dutch soldiers were divided into two groups, one to build the camp and the other to rest in the camp in case of another attack that might be encountered at night.
Lieutenant Steve, who was standing in front of his tent, had a sad face at this time, and he knew that this was not the way to go on like this, these damn Landaks, I must send them to hell, damn it. Damn it.
Steve, who was roaring in his heart, although he looked very calm on the surface, had reached an extremely unbearable point in his heart, and at this time, it only took a fuse to ignite the anger in his heart and explode.
"Lieutenant Steve. Chief of Staff Zhou Yu of the Blackwater Combat Detachment asked to see him, saying that there was something important to agree with us," a soldier reported with a military salute.
"Bring him in, I'll wait for him here."
Lieutenant Steve. It seems that you are not very good here, Zhou Yu looked around, frowned and said: But I came here to bring you good news this time. The Blackwater Staff Headquarters has decided to send 500 additional troops to Kalimantan, and will also provide you with a batch of weapons and supplies.
Reinforcement of troops, assistance with weapons and supplies, oh my God, this is really good news, Steve's heart is already happy, and the little hatred for the Landaks in his heart immediately disappears.
Blackwater's aid is very good, and the weapons alone are much better than the Dutch.
"Thank you for your company's staff headquarters, but I want to know what your conditions are." Blackwater can't help for nothing for no reason, and if they want to help, there must be follow-up conditions. Naturally, Steve knew what was going on.
"Our condition is that your unit continue to cooperate with us in combat, and at the same time, if necessary, your unit must obey our unified deployment, I don't know what the lieutenant thinks of these two conditions."
"No, no, there is no problem with coordinated operations, but how can this be done in a unified manner, and how about asking your company to change the conditions." Steve's refusal shows that he still has scruples in his heart.
Obeying Blackwater's dispatch is likely to make his team fall into the ranks of cannon fodder, he is not stupid at all, but he doesn't want to be cannon fodder for others.
What are Mr. Steve's concerns, is it because we are afraid that we will betray you or what,
"Don't get me wrong, Chief of Staff Zhou, I think this matter is too big for me to contact the Governor of Batavia." Steve came up with a delaying policy, just in time to find out what the Governor meant.
"Of course, but the aid to your ministry will naturally only have to wait until your country has negotiated and distributed it, and I ask the lieutenant to forgive me."
"It's hard to forgive, and if you don't, you can't agree with it," Steve replied with a smile.
"I hope so, please also ask Mr. Lieutenant to reach an agreement with Batavia as soon as possible, this is good for you and me, looking at your appearance, the perfect attack yesterday should be very fierce and the loss is not small, the security of our camp is much higher than yours, if you want, your troops can be stationed in our camp."
Ah, entering the camp in Blackwater, this is indeed a good way, you can save your strength and have a big backer, Steve would love to have such a proposal.
"When Mr. Lieutenant is in good contact with Batavia, we will welcome you in the camp." Zhou Yu got up and prepared to go back, but Steve stood up with him and sent the other party outside the camp.
"Lieutenant Steve, we should agree to Blackwater's conditions, it's not a loss to us, I think the Landaks will attack tonight, if we move into Blackwater's camp, the task of dealing with Landak will be theirs." One of Steve's personal henchmen persuaded him.
"Karn, I know, but let me think about it, at least I'll give you an answer before dark, and now it's up to you to urge them to put the camp fence in place, it's our only defense, and without them the Landaks will attack even more violently." (To be continued......)
