Chapter 316: Make Up Your Mind
If Zhou Yu's arrival can be said to have not made the Dutch commander Steve make up his mind, then the next attack of the Landaks can be regarded as giving them the determination to obey Blackwater's dispatch.
According to the investigations of those sent out, the Landaks were stationed in the jungle about ten miles from the Dutch military camp, and judging from the size of their numbers and the amount of food they cooked, there were about fifteen hundred.
The Dutch were naturally not afraid of more than 1,500 of Landak's so-called soldiers armed with clubs and bows and arrows, but the other party basically did not leave the station during the day, and at night it was like an owl looking for voles in the field.
The constant attacks caused a great deal of exhaustion to the Dutch, who had to rebuild their fortifications during the day and prevent attacks at night.
If it weren't for seeing that it was profitable, Steve would definitely not be able to hold on.
Fifteen hundred people are the size of the Dutch, which is almost seven times the number of people in Blackwater, and five times as many as the Dutch, and it should be no problem for the Dutch to deal with so many people during the day, but at night they will definitely be exhausted.
Steve arguably had to make a decision to either fight the Landaks alone or move to the camp in Blackwater, and he had no other options.
"Karn, you personally go and negotiate with the people of Blackwater, and we agree to their terms, but at the same time we want them to make good on their promises."
"Yes, sir, I'll go." Karn didn't show a very happy expression, but he was very, very happy in his heart, and he would be able to sleep well tonight, which was an enviable thing.
By noon, the Dutch's advance troops began to carry some useful supplies to the United City camp, where Blackwater was located. Steve also arrived here one step earlier.
"Commander Oshima, Staff Officer Zhou is very happy to see you again, according to my investigation, the Landaks have already gathered more than 1,500 people not far from us, and if we attack head-on during the day, we are completely sure of victory. But if it's night, I'm sorry. Steve shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically, it seems that the attacks he has received in the past few days have really hurt him a lot.
"Haha, huh? But we don't plan to attack each other, Lieutenant Steve, you and your soldiers should get some rest here, as long as we wait a few days, the reinforcements sent by the headquarters of Blackwater City will arrive, and it will not be too late for us to pick up these monkeys jumping up and down. ”
"Monkeys, yes, monkeys. The Landaks are like monkeys, and the Commander of the Big Island is not at all right. Steve laughed and nodded in response.
After sending Steve away, Oshima and Zhou Yu began to discuss countermeasures, once the Dutch were all stationed in the camp in Blackwater, the target of the attack would naturally change, and they would come towards Blackwater, and Blackwater would not be able to do anything. Since they can carry out the attack, so can the Blackwater, which is not a difficult task.
Blackwater's just let the other party know. Dialysis is not their strong point, so Oshima and Zhou Yu decided to send a team of ten people with sufficient firepower. Go and give the other side a sneak attack, and quickly withdraw from the battlefield after success.
"Commander, we've picked out the best people. This mission will definitely succeed. ”
"I believe so, but you still have to be careful, and remember not to fight. The number of people on the other side is more than 1,500 people, and they can deal with it if they are not a small team, so you must make it clear to them that our main task is to wait for reinforcements, and this sneak attack is only as a proper counterattack. ”
Oshima personally explained, after all, he didn't want to lose ten soldiers, that was a very valuable asset of Blackwater, even if he couldn't succeed, he had to ensure the lives of the soldiers, this time the requirements mentioned by the Chief of General Staff Tang Wei and Jiang Junbo many times, it was precisely because of such a humane decision-making that a large part of the Blackwater soldiers voluntarily extended the contract after the expiration of the contract to continue to serve.
The sneak attack team had been assembled, and after Oshima and Zhou Yu had finished talking, they headed towards the Landak camp along the pre-scouted route.
The official Muhammad Ayef of the Randak commander of the army, who also learned the previous lesson, now only believes that it is safest to attack and attack at night, so the Landaks are also like the Dutch, most of them rest and sleep in the camp, and only a few people are on duty.
This is equivalent to giving the sneak attack team a godsend, as long as they don't die, they won't die, the sneak attack team is divided into groups of two, each with at least nearly twenty grenades on their bodies, divided into five directions for sneak attacks, and their task is to throw the grenades into the camp to be completed.
It can be said that this task is both simple and dangerous, the simple thing is that as long as the grenade is thrown into the opponent's camp, the danger is that if you don't escape in time, you are likely to send your name, so these ten people are the fastest runners, and they are good at running in the jungle.
While the Randak soldiers were still asleep, some of the soldiers on duty saw dozens of small wooden sticks flying from the woods, and with them flew up, driving a long tail behind them with a white smoke.
From the Randak soldiers, who had seen such a scene, to see the little wooden sticks fall on the camp without being half alert, until there was a bang, one after another, they realized that the situation did not seem right, that it was an attack.
The Randak soldiers shouted in the vernacular, some of the soldiers who had not had time to get up had already died in the explosion, and some of them had their thighs broken and were lying on the ground screaming.
By the time Ayev came to his senses and sent someone in pursuit, the Blackwater soldiers in charge of dropping the bombs had already run back towards the camp.
This attack was a wake-up call to Ayef that it was not so safe during the day, and although he chose to avoid the blackwater, intending to deal with the intruders one by one, the blackwater he encountered was not as simple as he imagined.
According to later statistics, the attack killed thirty of the Landaks and injured more than two hundred, many of whom were basically hit by exploding monoliths in their dreams.
For this reason, Ayev had to set up a guard post within a five-kilometer radius of the camp during the day to prevent the enemy from attacking, and this attack also caused a lot of shadows in the hearts of the Landak soldiers, just a few small wooden sticks caused them to be so badly damaged, it was simply incredible.
But what Ayev didn't know was that what awaited them next would be even more desperate battles, and Blackwater's reinforcements had already boarded the ship and set off. (To be continued......)
