Chapter 35: The War of Extermination

PS: The first update has arrived! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for dream tickets!

In the vast forest of Mindanao, a team wearing dark green camouflage uniforms is passing through, and the color of their military uniforms is very similar to the color of the forest, so that they can hide in the forest so well that it is difficult to find them if they do not get close. This is the combat uniform designed by Long Yufei for the soldiers of the Flying Fish Army, at the beginning, the colorful camouflage uniform looked a little ugly, and it was difficult for the soldiers to accept. However, in the subsequent training, after these soldiers discovered the role of camouflage uniforms, they immediately changed their attitudes and praised Long Yufei.

Especially those scouts of the Exocet. The combat missions they carry out are already dangerous, and the camouflage uniforms on their bodies help them hide their tracks in the forest, increasing their chances of survival.

Around the Flying Fish Army's march, there were scouts of the Flying Fish Army. Their main task is to find the natives in time, and then kill them, so as to prevent the whereabouts of the Exocet from leaking as much as possible. Although the Flying Fish are not afraid of these natives, they must do a good job of secrecy in order to annihilate the main force of the Mang'abong tribe in order to fight a battle.

The lair of the Mang-Abang tribe is located in a huge valley in the Mang-Abang Mountains, a full fifty kilometers from Flying Fish City. In the plains, fifty kilometers is nothing, and it can be completed in two days at most. But in the forest, that's far from it. At a distance of fifty kilometers, the Exocet Army walked for four days. During this period, the number of non-combat attrition reached hundreds. Most of these soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes or poisonous insects, and most of them were saved because of timely treatment, but they also lost their combat effectiveness, and a small number of them lost their lives. Before the enemy saw it, he almost lost an infantry company, and such a loss made Long Yufei very distressed.

"Damn, this place is really not for people!" Long Yufei split a colorful little snake in half with a knife, and scolded with some annoyance. It is no wonder that the Western colonizers abandoned Mindanao, the living conditions here are indeed so bad that except for the natives living here who can adapt to it, others are probably not able to adapt to it at all. Even if the Westerners occupied it, they wouldn't be able to use it, so they had to leave it to the natives. However, Long Yufei believes that the Chinese are not weak in adaptability, and since these natives can survive here, the Chinese will definitely be able to do it. Mindanao is rich in mineral resources, and Long Yufei is also counting on these resources to support the future development of Feiyu Company!

"Commander! This is already very good, this dense forest has always been a forbidden place for us Chinese! In the beginning, the Chinese were also in a group, and we joined forces to repel the attacks of these natives many times! However, when they failed, the natives fled into the forest. And once we chase into the forest, the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the forest alone are enough to cause us huge losses, and it is very difficult to exterminate the natives! In addition, the Chinese formed and dispersed later, which gave these natives the opportunity to bully us again! Liu Wu, deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, explained!

Long Yufei nodded, when these natives were strong in the Chinese, they hid in the forest, and the Chinese could not eliminate them. When the Chinese were divided and weakened, they took the opportunity to come out of the forest and continue to bully the Chinese. This is all guerrilla warfare! However, this time, Long Yufei will not give these natives another chance. The Mang-Abang tribe will be the first tribe to be dealt with by the Exoces, and then the Exoces will launch attacks on the indigenous tribes in Mindanao one after another, striving to wipe out all the indigenous tribes. These natives were either killed or became slaves of the Exocets, and there was no third way to go. At that time, the indigenous people will be completely wiped out, and Mindanao will become the world of the Chinese!

After four days of trekking through the forest, the Flying Fish finally arrived at Mount Mang-Abang, less than five kilometers from the lair of the Mang-Abang tribe. Long Yufei and their luck was not bad, and they were not discovered by the natives along the way. In other words, the spies sent by the natives were all eliminated by the scouts of the Exoces. So that they came to the hinterland of the Mang'abong tribe without knowing it!

"Commander! In front of us is the valley where the Manga Bang tribe lives, and according to the information we have obtained, most of the people of the Mangabong tribe live in the valley! On the outskirts of the valley are the subordinate tribes of the Mang'abong tribe! If we go any further, we'll have an encounter with the natives! Niu Meng, commander of the First Brigade of the Flying Fish Army, said.

Long Yufei looked at the sky, it was already afternoon at this moment. If you start a battle, it can't be finished until dark. Once it was night, the firepower advantage of the Exocet could not be brought into play. Therefore, he said: "Order all the troops to rest in place and remain vigilant!" Early tomorrow morning, launch an attack on the Mang Abang tribe and try to wipe out the entire tribe! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Niu Meng nodded and quickly arranged it. There are more than 3,000 Flying Fish troops, hidden in the forest.

Even though it's still February, the forest is very wet. For Long Yufei, sleeping in the forest is even more of an ordeal. The difficult conditions made him regret it a little. If you had known the Dao, you would have stayed in Flying Fish City and waited for the news, so why bother to come and suffer for the sake of being a hero? Even so, though, he couldn't say it. Otherwise, the heroic image he established among the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Flying Fish Army would be finished!

Fortunately, there are many locals in the Flying Fish Army, and they are equipped with a lot of insect repellent herbs, which can basically eliminate the harassment of poisonous insects, snakes and ants after sprinkling them around the camp. As for the large beasts, they were no match for the heavily armed Exocet soldiers. If it weren't for the proximity to the lair of the Mang'abong tribe and the inability to use rifles, lest they startle the snakes, the Flying Fish could easily hunt down those beasts!

The night passed quickly, and on the morning of March 1, as soon as it was dawn, the Exoces went into action. After a simple meal of dry food, the soldiers began to act according to the predetermined plan. In order to wipe out all the people of the Mang-Abang tribe, the four infantry battalions of the Flying Fish Army divided into four directions and surrounded Mang-Abang Mountain. Although this makes the Exocet Army's forces in every direction seem a little weak, after being equipped with Exocet rifles and Thunderbolt mortars, the Exocet's firepower has increased greatly, and it is not difficult to eliminate these natives!

By 7 o'clock in the morning, the various units of the Flying Fish Army had been deployed in place. At this moment, the Mang'abong tribe and their affiliated tribes are still quiet. These natives are lazy by nature, they don't get up at dawn to work like the Chinese, they usually sleep until they wake up naturally, and they will find a way when they are really hungry.

At 7:20, Long Yufei gave the order to attack. He himself fought with the 1st Infantry Battalion, and Niu Meng, the commander of the 1st Brigade, went to command the 2nd Infantry Battalion. These two infantry battalions were the heaviest in the battle, blocking the two ends of the valley where the Mang-Abang tribe lived. The other two infantry battalions are responsible for clearing out the subordinate tribes of the Mang'abang tribe first!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The first to fire were the ten Thunderbolt mortars of the 1st Infantry Battalion. There are 6 artillery platoons in the battalion, and one more in each infantry company below, for a total of ten!

The shells, weighing 1.5 kilograms, flew towards the indigenous tribes more than 500 meters away. In the violent explosion of shells, the thatched houses built by the natives were blown into the sky one by one. Many natives were killed in their sleep!

The natives ran out of the hut in a panic, they didn't know what was happening, and many even thought it was thunder. However, when the shells exploded around them, and from time to time the natives were killed, they realized that the road was under attack. However, such an attack was something they had never encountered before, and the natives were scurrying like headless flies.

The Exoces then attacked from four directions, and when the crisp sound of rifles like fried beans rang out, the natives realized what enemy they had encountered. Under the propaganda of the natives who escaped from the battle of Flying Fish City, the Flying Fish Army has become equivalent to the devil in the hearts of these natives!

One by one, the natives were killed, and the rest of the people fell to their knees and surrendered. The sudden and violent blow made it difficult for these natives to resist, and their confidence in resistance was even closer to zero.

The first to be hit were the affiliated tribes of the Mang-Abang tribe. Most of these tribes are dependent on the Mang-Abang tribe for their survival and act as a peripheral barrier for the Mang-Abang tribe. In the last battle of Flying Fish City, their losses were not small. When Flying Fish soldiers dressed in dark green camouflage uniforms appeared outside their tribe and shouted slogans of surrender and death, many of these natives gave up their resistance. After all, even these natives are the same, and it is naturally best to be alive!

When the Flying Fish attacked, the Mang'abong tribe living in the valley was also awakened. Countless bare-bottomed natives rushed out of the thatched huts, and the violent explosion made them think that the gods were angry, and it seemed to be the same when volcanoes erupted in the past. However, the subsequent gunfire made them understand that it was not the gods who were angry, but the enemy!

"Damn the Chinese, how dare they come into the forest and attack us? Warriors of the Horde, take up your weapons and prepare to fight the enemy and defend the Horde! "Thornton, the patriarch of the Mang'abong tribe, was shocked and angry, and while calming the frightened natives, he gave the order to resist!
