Chapter 391: Enlightening Jungle Warfare
But soon he condensed in his heart:
"Mr. Commander, I don't think the other party will be waiting for us in the mangua, but will most likely jump out and continue to lead us by the nose.
We're going to be very passive! ”
Captain Miloš Chuatoko nodded with a gloomy face and said:
"Yes! That's what I'm most worried about, it's too easy for the Amazon jungle to hide a team, not to mention that the other party is still an armed force that transports DP in the Amazon jungle all year round.
I'm sure the real lair of the other party must be hidden in the nearby jungle.
If we can't find this place, they can lead us like birds. That's not what I want to see. ”
The chief of staff saw that Commander Miloš Chuatoko was worried, gritted his teeth and said:
"Commander, now that we have captured the town of Bittenkot, it is impossible for us to give up. As soon as we are to move our troops to Manguari, it will lead to the emptiness of the town of Bittenkot.
We don't know if the town of Bittenkot, which we just recaptured, will be taken by the Eddie brothers again.
In this way, we will not be able to explain to our superiors.
If this is not possible, I will leave some of my men behind to defend Bittencott, and you will lead your army straight to Manguari and force the Eddie brothers into the jungle.
Let the rainy season in the Amazon jungle teach them a good lesson. ”
Commander Miloš Chuatoko glanced at his rookie chief of staff with some surprise, he knew very well in his heart that staying to defend the town of Bittenkot was not an easy task, and now they were not sure how many rebels the Eddie brothers had, and they would definitely take a large army with them by attacking Manguari.
There weren't many people left behind for the Chief of Staff, and if the Eddie brothers jumped out of Mangua again like they were doing now and turned around to attack Bittencott, it would definitely be a big loss to the defenders defending Bittencott.
And looking at the expression of the chief of staff, it was obvious that he understood this, but the other party still took the initiative to mention it, and then the head of the Milosh Chuatoko had to look at the other party with admiration.
After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Chief of Staff, I understand your intentions. The reason why we didn't pounce this time was because we didn't know enough about the Eddie brothers' movements.
We can't afford to make the same mistake again this time. So, I plan to send scouts to Manguari to confirm the Eddie brothers' movements first, and if they are confirmed to stay in Manguari, we will only start the operation.
If the other party wants to do it again and jump back to Bittenkot, we will set up an ambush in Bittenkot and try to eliminate the other party directly. ”
When the chief of staff heard this, he understood that Commander Miloš Chuatoko had already had a complete plan in his heart, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and then he thought of something, and said to the regiment commander with some concern:
"But, the superior ......."
Commander Miloš Chuatoko withdrew his eyes from staring at the map, glanced back at the chief of staff and said:
"I'll explain it myself. You don't have to worry, even if it's up to me. ”
Seeing that the regiment commander had made up his mind, he knew that it would be useless for him to say more, so the chief of staff did not say more, but just stood up and saluted:
"Yes, Captain!"
The three battalion commanders followed behind, and they had already heard the conversation between the two and had already understood the current situation.
Apparently their target was to set them along, directly attacking their rear roads and occupying their logistics base.
Several people were a little flustered at first, but with the conversation between the regiment commander and the chief of staff, they were also relieved to hear that the regiment commander had already made up his mind.
Just when the border guards occupied the town of Bittenkot and received a clear telegram from the Eddie brothers, they were anxious and uncomfortable.
Fang Lang has returned to Natal with his two girlfriends.
Fang Lang, who had just been in the office for a while, was interrupted by Sirio Reich with a telegram.
After listening to Sirio Leitch's report, Fang Lang got up with some surprise, came to the map, looked at the location of Bittencott and Manguari, and touched his chin with his hand and said:
"There are capable people in this Eddie brothers' team! The actions of the border guards are under the control of the other side.
Maybe the border guards have their eyeliner in them. If that's the case, it's a dangerous operation. ”
After speaking, he commanded outside the door:
"Qingshan, help me call Chief of Staff de la Torre over."
Qi Qingshan's response came from outside the door, "Yes, boss!" ”
Fang Lang continued to look at the map and fell into deep thought, and Sirio Leitch on the side saw that Fang Lang was thinking about things, so he didn't answer, just stood quietly and waited.
Soon, there was a knock on the office door, and De La Torre, led by Qi Qingshan, entered Fang Lang's office.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Fang Lang turned his head and nodded to De La Torre:
"Come in and sit down, Sirio, you will brief the chief of staff on the situation."
When Sirio Leitch heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted:
"Yes, boss!"
Then he turned around and told De la Torre what he had just gotten.
Hearing this, De La Torre also frowned, got up and came to Fang Lang's side, and looked at the map.
Said to Fang Lang beside him:
"Boss, do you need us to send someone to participate in the encirclement and suppression?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and shook his head:
"Not yet, we are the Navy, and it is not our turn to do this kind of thing now.
However, fighting in the Amazon jungle is also a skill that we must master.
The current army has not begun to pay attention to the particularity of jungle warfare, and I believe that after this incident, the army will begin to understand that there is a big difference between jungle warfare and fighting in ordinary terrain.
And our Marines must also master the skills of jungle warfare, so I hope that your staff will go back and organize the manpower to conduct research on jungle warfare.
We need to plan ahead, and if the Army suffers in the Amazon jungle, our Marines cannot afford to make the same mistake.
Also, the relationship between Brother Eddie and us is not very friendly, and I hope that when the time comes, our Marines will be able to pull it out, stand up to it, and win the battle.
Do you understand what I mean? ”
After listening to Fang Lang's words, De la Torre nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Boss, actually, I think our navy also has a certain advantage in fighting in the Amazon jungle, you see that the town of Bittenkot and Manguari are both by the river, and our marines still have a certain advantage in landing operations compared to the army.
If we are more familiar with the characteristics of jungle warfare, and give full play to our advantages, we will definitely be more confident than their army if we attack these towns directly from the river.
Let's see if we need to apply to the Department of Defense to join us in the encirclement of the Eddie brothers.
After all, this Eddie family has a great enmity with us. ”
This meaning is obvious, thinking that the Eddie brothers are the masterminds behind the assassination of Fang Lang, that is, the sworn enemy of the aircraft carrier fleet, hoping to destroy their enemies with their own hands.
When Fang Lang heard this, he patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said:
"Haha...... Don't worry, de la Torre, the Eddie brothers are not only enemies with us, they are criminals who have committed treason, and now they have formed rebels.
It can be said that it is the enemy of the whole of Brazil, and if we jump out and fight with them in a hurry, it may make people think that we are robbing the army of work, and now the relationship between the army and the navy is not harmonious, and we should be cautious about this kind of thing.
And I don't think we're ready to fight the enemy in the jungle.
You're right, we really have a better advantage of attacking from the river than the army.
However, don't forget, the Amazon is just a river, not to mention that the enemy's location is only a tributary of the Amazon, and the hydrological conditions of the river are certainly not suitable for the ships of our navy.
If one accidentally causes our warship to run aground in it, it will be a big joke.
Therefore, the most important issue at present is to first study the characteristics of jungle warfare, and then study some equipment for specific purposes in accordance with these characteristics.
And develop a special training plan so that our fighters can be like fish in water in the jungle, so that they can achieve a single hit. ”
De la Torre's face turned red when he heard this, he was indeed too eager to take into account the danger of the navy and the Amazon River.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"As far as I know, the equipment of our inland river fleet in the Amazon River is very old, and they are all old gunboats that were eliminated during the First World War, and I don't know if they can play their due role."
When Fang Lang heard this, his eyes lit up, isn't this an opportunity for his own shipyard?
With the current situation of Fangyuan Group's shipyard, it may take a while to explore if you want to build qualified naval ships immediately, but the river gunboats are not difficult at all, and you can find out some experience for naval ships.
The most important thing is the current situation, neither the Ministry of Defense nor the president will certainly not skimp on investment in river gunboats.
After all, the current Eddie brothers have slapped the government in the face, and the government is absolutely costless to eliminate this rebel force.
As long as it is done properly, it is a big order. Thinking of this, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel happy, it seems that this Eddie brother is not useless!
Soon Fang Lang thought of another piece of equipment, which he hadn't remembered all along, but now he suddenly heard the river gunboat, which immediately reminded him of another very common piece of equipment - rubber boats.
You must know that when he was building the automobile industry, he also supported several rubber manufacturing enterprises, and the rubber boat is not much difficult to manufacture, but the range of use is very wide, and it seems necessary to manufacture it.
Of course, the biggest threat in the Amazon may not be the gunboats, but the speedboats that are fast and armed with heavy machine guns may be more lethal.
These equipment need to be carefully studied, such a long Amazon River, this kind of equipment is in demand, this is a big business.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang laughed and said to De La Torre:
"Isn't that just right, I can let the river fleet take the opportunity to replace a batch of equipment, it seems that I want to talk to the shipyard at home and take the opportunity to win this order!"
There are only de la Torre and Sirio Leci in the room, and everyone knows that Fang Yuan Group has a large shipyard in Santos Port, São Paulo, so when they heard Fang Lang's words, they all laughed.
Hearing this, De la Torre smiled even more:
"I didn't expect this Eddie brother to be able to create some performance for the boss's shipyard, do you want to give them a certificate of merit when the time comes!"
Several people understood that de la Torre was joking, and they all burst out laughing.
Since Fang Lang thought of river gunboats and rubber boats, he quickly thought that fighting in the jungle was very important for the soldiers to camouflage, and the current Brazilian army was not equipped with camouflage uniforms.
It seems that it is necessary to develop a special camouflage uniform for his Marines suitable for fighting in the Amazon jungle.
In fact, during World War II, the Germans began to use professional camouflage uniforms very early.
Of course, the German camouflage uniform pattern is definitely not suitable for use in the Amazon jungle.
But the Germans could get the printing and dyeing technique of camouflage cloth and use it to make special camouflage suitable for the Amazon jungle.
In addition, the most terrifying thing in the jungle is all kinds of poisonous insects, if you want to avoid the soldiers being injured by poisonous insects in the jungle and causing non-combat attrition, you must research the equipment and medicine to prevent poisonous insects.
For example, many oil paints in later generations have a certain insect repellent effect.
But these are obviously not enough, because there are many dangerous species such as mosquitoes and leeches in the jungle, which are the great enemies of human survival in the jungle.
And dealing with these things like this, Fang Lang believed that the natives in the jungle must have their own experience.
Therefore, Fang Lang originally planned to recruit some professional hunters from the jungle to train their marines' jungle warfare skills.
Sometimes a good hunter in the jungle can kill countless professional soldiers without a sound. The most popular thing used by the indigenous people of the Brazilian jungle is the poisonous blow arrow.
This kind of thing can also be learned and used by the Marine Corps in the future! It's all a sentry weapon.
And, of course, professional bows and silencers for firearms.
Think about the Rambo series of movies, Rambo uses a bow and arrows to kill an unknown number of heavily armed soldiers in the jungle.
This kind of silent battle can easily make people feel hopeless.
And these are the skills that Fang Lang hopes his fighters can master, yes, Fang Lang's purpose is to train a group of professional jungle warriors like Rambo in his Marine Corps.
In particular, the Navy Special Tactics Research Group, which he plans to set up, that is, the special forces he has prepared for himself, will have to learn to master these professional skills proficiently.
As for the gun silencer, it is not a completely new weapon, and there is no need to invest a lot of effort in re-research and design.
Because, this thing was invented as early as 1908.
Of course, not many people use this equipment, most of them are agents or only use it when they are on special missions.
And Fang Lang now wants to inform his light weapons factory and equip his Navy's special tactical research team with this kind of equipment.
Think of a team of Rambo-like fighters in the Amazon jungle to eliminate a group of rebels tasked with transporting DP, and that's not just hand-to-hand.
However, these are Fang Lang's plans, and now his naval special tactics research group has not yet been established!
He set up training time for his ordinary Marines for up to six months, and now these soldiers are still crawling on the training ground!
