Sean was still stunned, Charlie had already reacted, he dragged Sean out of the car, and the two of them crawled behind the boulders by the river. Charlie's correct judgment saved the lives of the two men, and the ambush came from the rainforest, and the soldiers who had taken refuge in the rainforest were shot and killed.

The shootout in the rainforest is raging, and Sean and Charlie are behind the boulder, and they dare not come out. "I said don't cover up next time, you just said that there was a war, and this is going to be a fight." Charlie complained repeatedly, he was only a soldier to eat well, and he could hide from the battle of the dead, otherwise he would not have come to be a logistics soldier. At this moment, Sean's face was extremely pale, and he nodded again and again when he heard Charlie's words, and now he had no complaints at all, and the whole person shrank behind the boulder, for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

The Boston soldiers who escorted the convoy were smaller, only about 300 men, while the attacking Yaman army was 8,000 soldiers under the command of Walbeck, plus they were raiders, so they quickly defeated the Bostonians.

"Clean up the battlefield immediately, clear it all here, and then retreat immediately." Walbeck shouted orders to the native soldiers.

The native soldiers quickly climbed onto the truck and unpacked the large number of wooden boxes. "General, it's all canned food, and there's a lot of ammunition." An indigenous soldier reported loudly.

"Very good, find suitable ammunition and bring more cans, and don't leave the rest to the enemy, pour gasoline on it, and burn it all." Walbeck commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"General? We'll do a great job by killing him. Sean was so excited when he heard the words of the native soldier that he picked up his rifle and was about to poke his head out.

Charlie pulled Sean back: "You're crazy, if you shoot, the two of us will be beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant." ”

Sean whispered, "What do you say should be done?" ”

Charlie rolled his eyes: "Honestly cats here, surrender if you are discovered." ”

The indigenous soldiers pumped gasoline out of the truck's tank, poured it all over the truck's bed, and then set the truck on fire with torches. With the help of gasoline, the flames immediately rose into the sky, and the indigenous soldiers who were roasted by the heat of the flames retreated again and again, and even Charlie and Sean, who were hiding behind the boulders, also felt a wave of heat, but the two did not dare to move, for fear of being discovered by the other party.

It wasn't until it was getting late and the fire was extinguishing that Charlie and Sean dared to poke their heads out from behind the boulders, and by this moment Walbeck's troops had already left. Sean jumped twice, allowing the blood to flow back into his already numb legs, and he turned to ask "Charlie, what do we do now?" ”

Charlie kneaded his numb arm and said, "What else can I do?" Find the garrison and report the situation. ”

Sean looked in both directions of the road and said, "Where are we going?" Is it Libreville, or to Zanagar Fortress? ”

Charlie stepped forward and patted Sean on the head and said, "You must be stupid in the future, our convoy was robbed just half a day after it came out, so naturally we are back to Port Libreville, which is relatively close." ”

The commander of the corps, Major General McLean, was soon informed of the robbery of the convoy, but he did not pay attention to the report, he only thought that these people were the remnants of the Satinia Colonial Army, and that the strength should not be large. Therefore, he ordered the corps to send a corps, split them into large small units, and enter the rainforest in battalion size to search, and at the same time raised the convoy of the logistics unit from the company to the battalion level.

Walbeck found the light enemy of the Bostonians, and he led his 8,000 men to attack continuously, eliminating four Boston search teams, and plundering two logistics formations, so that the Boston army that was attacking the Zanaga Fortress had a very tight ammunition reserve, in addition to Walbeck's direct troops, other small troops also attacked again and again, eliminating many Bostonians.

"You sons of can raise it, and you don't report such a loss." Lieutenant General Craig angrily threw the report on his desk and cursed, the losses in the past half a month have caused the Third Army to suffer a lot of losses, and seeing that the gaffe is serious, Major General McLean had to report the situation.

"At the beginning, we thought it was a small group of troops that the Satinia colonial army had been defeated, so we didn't care, and we didn't expect that the other side had annihilated several of our battalion-level search teams in a row, and it seemed that they were not Sardinians." Major General McLean had no choice but to share his thoughts.

"Small troops? A battalion-sized team can be wiped out in no more than half an hour, and unless he is an elite special forces of the Chinese Empire, the opponent's strength is at least more than three thousand people. Lieutenant General Craig walked around the room a few times and said: "Order to send additional troops, send search teams at least at the regimental level, all teams cannot be more than five kilometers away from each other to advance in parallel, and we will clean up the entire Gabon area."

For a guerrilla war like Walbeck, Lieutenant General Greg didn't have any good ideas, and he could only choose to send additional troops to clear the net. On the orders of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in the southern subcontinent, the troops of several armies were withdrawn, and for the sake of safety, they took brigades as units, opened a large net, from west to east, and began to conduct parallel searches, and at the same time sent dozens of river gunboats to patrol the Congo River to prevent people from crossing the river to evade.

The Boston Army spread a wide net and pressed against Walbeck's troops. After discovering that the other side began to pull the net to clear the net, Walbeck knew that there were too many troops entering Gabon, and if they were all allowed to stay here, not only would they not be able to play their due role, but they would be easy to be discovered because of the large target, so Walbeck decided to continue to disrupt the Boston army here with only 8,000 direct troops, and the others crossed the Congo River and returned to Angola.

The Congo River was filled with Bostonian river gunboats, and in order to get the large army to cross the river and leave, Walbeck made a feint on the section of the river in the Mpuya area.

A Bostonian river gunboat slowly travels on the Congo River, these river gunboats are different from the products of the countries of the Western Continent, which are all gunboats modified by civilian ships on the river, and the products of the Boston Empire are specially manufactured to control the southern subcontinent with many rivers, and they are completely military products, which are much stronger than those modified gunboats.

"Open fire." With Walbeck's order, the only twelve 57-mm infantry guns in the direct team roared together. The shells landed in the middle of the river, startling several Bostonians on the small gunboat that was moving, and who were watching and watching.

"Keep firing and fire freely." Walbeck ordered loudly, those small infantry guns with a barrel of only thirty-five times the diameter were not far away, but they were enough to hit the middle of the river, and with their high rate of fire, the density of fire was still very considerable.

On the small gunboat, which was only fifty-three tons, the only turret quickly turned, and the two 76-millimeter guns of the twin mounted quickly turned around, aiming at the place where the smoke of gunpowder rose from the shore and roared. The shell fell in the rainforest, blew off a large tree, shook the leaves of the nearby trees and fell one after another, and seeing that the other side began to fire artillery, the artillery position immediately shifted places.

The infantry guns were very light, they could be easily moved by only two people, and by the time the next round of shelling of the gunboats began, the artillery positions had already been shifted. At this time, the three heavy machine guns on the gunboat also opened fire one after another, and they didn't care where the enemy was, but just strafed back and forth into the dense rainforest, causing branches and leaves to fall.

Hearing the dense sound of artillery here, the gunboats cruising on the nearby river also rushed here. The Bostonians had two types of gunboats on the Congo River, not only the 53-ton Great Salt Lake class, but also the 410-ton Lake Mead class, which had a 105-mm gun and four 37-mm guns.

Relying on the depth and width of the Congo River, the 410-ton Lake Mead-class river gunboats were able to cruise freely on the river, and when the cannon sound was heard, the nearest Lake Mead-class gunboat No. 1120 rushed towards the area at full speed, and before the gunboat arrived, the 1005-millimeter caliber main gun was the first to fire.

Artillery of this caliber is not too large caliber even in the army, but in the rainforest, large-caliber artillery is inconvenient, and a hundred and five mm caliber gun is already considered a huge one.

A 105-millimeter shell landed in the rainforest on the shore, blasting a large crater several meters wide, startling the nearby native soldiers, and seeing that the other side had large-caliber artillery, Walbeck immediately ordered the troops to retreat, leaving only a few infantry guns, one cannon and not a single cannon to amuse the Bostonians, attracting all the gunboats they patrolled nearby.

Seven or eight Boston Imperial river gunboats cruised nearby, firing indiscriminately at the shore, and two of them were Lake Mead-class bigwigs, which caused the somewhat overwhelmed Yaman artillery to lose two guns in succession, but Walbeck was unmoved, and still teased the other side to carry out the shelling.

Fifteen kilometers upstream, a bend was turned, and a large number of well-tied rafts were lowered into the river, and the indigenous soldiers quickly jumped onto the rafts, using makeshift wooden oars, and rowed desperately towards the opposite bank. This time, the Yaman colonial army was well prepared, they tied up hundreds of rafts, which could transport thousands of people across the river at a time, and in just a few trips, more than 20,000 people crossed the Congo River.

The Yaman Colonial Army troops who crossed the river quickly disappeared into the jungle, and a few minutes later, a red flare rose into the sky. Seeing the flares, Walbeck knew that the crossing of the river had been successful, and he immediately ordered the artillery to withdraw back.

"We found a lot of rafts on the other side of the Congo River, and I think there are a large number of troops crossing the Congo River, and maybe those enemies have fled to Angola." Rear Admiral McLean hurriedly reported the findings of the river fleet to Vice Admiral Craig.
