Looking at the information reported by the river fleet, Vice Admiral Craig's eyebrows furrowed: "According to the report of the river fleet, there were enemies on the river bank to tease them to open fire, and the shelling lasted for nearly an hour. And an hour and a half after the end of the shelling, they found a large number of rafts on the banks of the river? ”

Major General McLean nodded, "Yes, I think there were enemy troops who deliberately fired artillery to attract our attention, and then they fled across the river. ”

Vice Admiral Craig said: "Do you think they can walk faster than river gunboats?" Will they be able to run upstream to cross the river while conducting artillery battles downstream? ”

"This ......" Major General McClain choked speechless, to him, a young master from a big family who came to the army to gild, is a theoretician who graduated from a military academy, but he is a weak link in military common sense.

Lieutenant General Craig shook his head, the Boston Imperial Army had never fought any decent battles, and the level of officers was really a little low, but they couldn't be blamed for this. With the geographical location of the Boston Empire, if you want to defend it, you don't need much land at all. Before the First World War, the Boston Empire had not paid enough attention to the army, and it was only when the national strength expanded and the empire wanted to expand externally that they thought of them, but the army is easy to arm, and officers need to be trained for a long time, so it is not surprising that this situation occurs.

Lieutenant General Craig said: "Maybe their large army has crossed the river and fled, but there must still be a small force operating in the Gabon area, you must continue to carry out the clearance, find out this small force and eliminate it, so as to ensure the security of the Gabon region, and then we can rely on the blockade of the Congo River to attack the Angolan region." ”

After speaking, Lieutenant General Craig sighed and said: "The troops attacking to the north have already crossed the Sanaga River, and I heard that your eldest brother is in that army, and if you want to be strong enough in the family, you have to work hard." ”

Lieutenant General Craig's words, though not trivial, point out Major General McLean's fears, now that he and his eldest brother are fighting for the inheritance of the family, he is doomed to lose the battle for the throne if his troops become entangled with the guerrillas and are not captured.

Major General McLean took a deep breath and replied: "I will definitely eliminate this guerrilla force as soon as possible, take full control of the Gabon region, and then occupy Angola as soon as possible." ”

Lieutenant General Craig naturally does not criticize his subordinates, on the contrary, he is willing to help his subordinates, which can be regarded as a good fate, so he nodded and encouraged: "You don't have to be too anxious now, after all, the northern troops need to control more areas, and they can't fully occupy it for a while, and after we stabilize Gabon, we only need to occupy Angola." In addition, you should know that the ultimate goal of the empire is the Chinese empire, and when we attack the Chinese empire, the focus of their defense will be on the Cairo line in the north, and you will have many more opportunities to make meritorious contributions than your brother. ”

Hearing Lieutenant General Craig's analysis, McKellen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and said, "My subordinates will do their best to complete the great cause of the empire as soon as possible." ”

In order to wipe out the remaining small force, Major General McLean sent the entire Third Army to repeatedly clear the Gabon area, while Walbeck led his troops through the gaps of the other side, and it was difficult to avoid the search of the other side, but the other side's troops became more and more dispersed, and the area under his control became larger and larger.

If the area of activity of the direct team becomes smaller, if it continues like this, they will lose their foothold, and eventually they will either be wiped out or flee to the north, and once they flee to the north, they will completely cut off contact with their logistics base.

Walbeck sat under a big tree, frowning and looking at the map, when his deputy, Colonel Holm, came over and said, "It's better to have a map given to us by the Chinese Empire, not only the standards are clearer, but also completely moisture-proof." What is this material called, by the way, it is called plastic, it is so wear-resistant and moisture-proof, much better than our paper map. ”

Walbeck nodded: "Indeed, the Chinese Empire not only has advanced science and technology, but also has a large number of special weapons for various environments, these weapons are not necessarily very advanced, but they are quite applicable in special regions, which shows that their designers are quite experienced." ”

Holm opened a box of canned food and said, "Okay, don't look at the map first, let's eat the canned food first." If you want me to say that this canned food is also the best product of the Chinese Empire, like this seized Boston Empire product, it tastes like paste, and the taste is too bad. ”

Walbeck also put down the can handed over by Holm, tasted it lightly, and said, "How much do we have left?" ”

Holm frowned and said: "Recently, the supply convoys of Bostonians have become more and more tightly guarded, and the search teams are too frequent, and our supplies have not been replenished, and it is estimated that they can be used for a month at most." In a month's time, we'll be looking for food in the rainforest. ”

Walbeck nodded, "It's a problem, but I've thought of a solution, as long as we succeed in fighting a war of annihilation, we can deter the Bostonians and make them dare not divide the troops too much, so that we have a chance." ”

Holm raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? I said, old man, what tricks do you have to do to hurt people? ”

Walbeck smiled slightly: "Don't dare to say that it's hurting, it won't make the Bostonians feel better anyway." ”

Due to the Bostonians transferred dozens of planes, they always carried out aerial reconnaissance during the day, although the aerial reconnaissance effect was not great due to the shelter of the rainforest, but Walbeck's troops were relatively large, in order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, they still chose to rest during the day and operate at night.

Night had fallen, Boston's search forces had set up camp, and their reconnaissance planes had chosen to rest because they could not take off at night, and it was in the dead of night that one unit was moving quickly through the rainforest.

The night in the rainforest is quite lively, many insects and poisonous snakes are acting at night, these things are quite dangerous to people who move at night, fortunately, all the equipment of Walbeck's army is from the Chinese Empire rainforest special equipment, they wear an integrated jacket, high-waisted military boots, not afraid of the invasion of poisonous insects and snakes, which gives them the ability to move in the rainforest at night.

Walbeck stumbled through the rainforest with his troops, but fortunately, most of the warriors were indigenous, and they were quite familiar with the rainforest environment, and although they did not light torches for fear of exposing their targets, they were still not slow.
