To the west of Malacca is a pristine rainforest, with only a plain within two kilometres of the city. This plain is usually used by the merchants of Malacca and the natives of Malacca.

Because of the war, the market has been closed for nearly half a month, and there are no merchants who dare to come here to trade with the natives because of the threat from the natives.

Occasionally, a few natives could be seen emerging from the depths of the forest, looking with wary eyes at the soldiers of the First Company and the Blackwater who were already stationed here, and the soldiers did nothing out of the ordinary against them.

Three of the reconnaissance teams sent out by He Yu have returned, and two have not returned, and once the reconnaissance is clear according to the agreed time, today will be the first day of the purge of the western indigenous tribes, and the soldiers in the barracks are ready to wait for the arrival of news.

Suddenly, the soldiers standing guard found that there were several soldiers in camouflage uniforms in the forest who were looking around, and then they came out, and these people knew at a glance that they were scouts sent out by their side.

"Qiao Yan, I'm sure this is a tough battle, it's not very likely that we want to end the battle quickly, maybe this time I will stay in the hands of these natives." It was Qiao Yushan and a few others who came out of the dense forest, and they were ordered to accept the reconnaissance mission a day ago.

In order to more accurately understand the location and actual scope of the indigenous tribes, He Yu sent five teams to investigate, the first three teams have been the first to return, but the team led by Qiao Yan and Makarov has not returned for a long time, which also makes He Yu worried, it can be said that he values these people the most under his hands.

Hearing that someone came to report that Qiao Yan had returned, He Yu's heart finally let go of a lot, and now only Makarov has not returned, and the location of his reconnaissance is relatively remote, and he may encounter a lot of trouble.

In fact, it is very dangerous to go out to investigate this kind of mission. Not only do you have to enter the unknown forest, but you also have to go deep into the vicinity of the enemy, and sometimes you have to squat on the ground for a day to understand the situation, so Yu Shan is definitely not willing to do this kind of thing.

"I heard that Martha Monkey hasn't come back yet, Qiao Yan, do you think he will be caught by those savage natives, if he is, I'm sure he will become a delicious meal for those natives." Yu Shan returned to the camp and said with some schadenfreude.

However, Qiao Yan couldn't laugh, and looked at his companion with a frown: "Okay Yu Shan, can't your mouth stop." As comrades-in-arms, we should be more concerned about the safety of our superiors. ”

"No, I'm just saying, you're taking it too seriously, Qiao." Yu Shan shrugged, then stuffed a piece of flatbread into his mouth, took a hard bite, and stopped speaking.

After a few minutes, He Yu wore a combat uniform, walked into the tent and asked with a smile: "How is it, my warrior, what do you know?" There is no resistance to our attack.

"Major, from what we know, it seems that the natives are ready to defend themselves against our attack, and they have set up a large number of interference facilities around the tribe. For example, traps and stakes, etc., the most important thing is that they are disgusting, and if they are caught, they will definitely be tortured to death. They actually eat the living. ”

Qiao Yan frowned as he introduced, obviously he didn't want to recall that scene. The sight of eating a living person is truly disgusting.

"Okay, these people are still cannibals," He Yu was a little speechless, he didn't expect to encounter cannibals, since he could attack without any scruples, he had to use force to deal with these cannibals who were not much different from wild beasts.

"Except for cannibalism, each of their individual tribes has a maximum of five hundred troops, so if we want to attack separately, we must ensure that a well-equipped squad with two coffee mill guns can have an absolute advantage."

The 500-man combatable strength does not mean that the natives have more than 500 soldiers, but that they have more than 500 young men who can go to the battlefield, and all the young men in the general indigenous tribe can basically become combat troops. It's a bit like a nomadic tribe, so when attacking an indigenous tribe, any young man will basically be caught, because you can't tell which is a soldier or a civilian, and they don't have a clear line at all.

After listening to Qiao Yan's introduction, He Yu basically has a general understanding, although the indigenous tribe belongs to a large tribe as a whole, but because of the large population, it has been divided into dozens of tribes of different sizes, and the living places are not too far apart, once something happens, they can definitely support each other.

He Yu took out the map and pointed to one of the locations marked with point B, "This is the middle ground of the indigenous tribes, and the number of indigenous tribes living in this place is not large, so first send a hundred people to take this place, and then prevent them from reinforcing each other, and all the troops will concentrate their firepower to clear the natives on the left." ”

Since He Yu had already begun to issue combat missions, it proved that he was basically confident, and Makarov finally returned to the camp after he had assigned all the tasks and reported what he knew one by one.

"Very good, Second Lieutenant Makarov, your understanding of the situation is very important, this path, you will lead two squads of soldiers to defend, be sure to cut off the natives' retreat, and strive to capture all these natives, this will be our first tough battle in Malacca, I hope to see each and every one of you come back alive."

Makarov was late because he had discovered a trail into the valley, which was the only way for all the natives to enter the valley, and once it was blocked, there was no way out. Therefore, He Yu attached great importance to this trail and sent Makarov to take charge of it himself.

"Yes Major, I promise to complete the mission, and I will not let you down." Makarov's standard sexual answer made He Yushu smile.

"Okay, I hope you can all see yourself promoted when you come back this time, you must know that our troops will be expanded after this battle, so you all have to live well, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, go and tell the boys that this time the army will be expanded to battalion units, and everyone has a chance to be promoted, you know."

He Yu's last temptation is not so much to give the soldiers hope to live, as long as they think that they can be promoted after the battle, these big-headed soldiers will definitely be very careful with every enemy around them, and they will never take it lightly. This is the first time to encourage soldiers like this, and it is also the first time that He Yu has encouraged soldiers.

After announcing the combat mission, several officers who led the main attack walked out of the conference room and walked towards their team to start the official Malacca clean-up operation. (To be continued......)
