Commander Miloš Chuatoko, who led two battalions of government officers and soldiers, was also stunned when he received Bassam's telegram, he did not expect that the battalion that attacked Bassam was actually the main force of the rebels.

At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, since the enemy's main force had been entangled by a battalion, it was obvious that he would not be able to escape in a short time, and he didn't want to let go of this opportunity to destroy the enemy's main force.

Therefore, the two battalions were directly ordered to divide into two routes, the second battalion followed him to rescue the first battalion, and the third battalion was responsible for launching an attack on Manguali Town according to the original plan.

Soon, under the personal leadership of Commander Miloš Chuatoko, the 2nd Battalion quickly landed on the tidal flats closest to the 1st Battalion and came directly to the 1st Battalion's camp.

As time passed, and as they approached the battlefield, the sky was already white, but the Amazon jungle was still dimly lit and visibility was low.

Fortunately, the fierce sound of gunfire near the battlefield can point the way for reinforcements.

When Commander Miloš Chuatoko arrived near the battlefield, something felt wrong.

Because Bassam told him that this is the main force of the enemy, numbering as many as a thousand, but what he has seen now obviously does not match the intelligence!

Although the enemy attacked the camp of the first battalion from all sides, there was only one real direction of attack, and the other directions were completely attracted by sheep attacks, and the main direction of attack, if Miloš Chuatoko expected, was only about a company of troops.

Although the camp of the first battalion had now been attacked, it was clear that the rebels, who were not superior in numbers, had been blocked by the first battalion behind the second line of defense.

But at this time, he had already led reinforcements to arrive, and it was impossible to change the direction of the attack now.

The entire army of the 2nd Battalion could only be ordered to attack directly to the rear of the enemy.

The rebels, who were already blocked from attacking, were also panicked in the face of a sudden attack, and these veterans began to break out without hesitation as soon as they noticed that the situation was wrong.

It is a pity that the rebels, who have been fighting for more than two hours, have already suffered many injuries, but now the second battalion that has surrounded them is a new force, and the strength of the second battalion has occupied more than three times the advantage.

Where can the rebels easily escape.

However, the rebels are also ruthless characters, and seeing that they are about to be completely encircled, they immediately took out their grenades regardless of it, concentrated their forces on the already exhausted positions of the battalion, and threw a rain of grenades.

The soldiers of the first battalion, who were excited to see the arrival of reinforcements, never imagined that the rebels would put the direction of the breakthrough on their side.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the rebels launched a desperate charge with their weapons on the positions of the battalion that had just been baptized with grenades.

This kind of deadly fighting directly broke through the front line that the first battalion had managed to maintain, and the rebels were fighting fiercely in front of them.

In just a few minutes, the warring sides paid dozens of casualties.

Bassam originally saw the reinforcements arriving, but his face was still excited, and it instantly became difficult to see, he knew that if this group of enemies escaped easily at this time, it would definitely not be a good end for him.

Therefore, he didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up the pistol in his hand and took the few remaining guards, and met the rebels who were rushing towards them.

The two sides began to shoot at each other from a distance, and in the light that had just dawned, Bassam, who was holding a short gun, was very conspicuous.

This allowed the rebels, who were eager to break through, to seize the opportunity and shoot at him.

Bassam, who was finally forced to be brave, felt a shock to his body before he could react, and when he looked down, he saw a few more blood holes on his body, and then the strength in his body began to disappear, making him fall directly into the muddy camp.

Seeing this, the surrounding guards also ignored the fact that they were shooting at the rebels who rushed in.

The two groups of men and horses exchanged nearly 100 rounds of ammunition in just two minutes, and both sides paid a heavy price for casualties.

By the time the rebels had broken through a battalion and rushed into the jungle opposite, there were less than ten men left.

The second battalion in the rear followed closely behind these rebels and pursued in the jungle for less than five hundred meters before having to choose to give up. Because these rebels are obviously more familiar with the environment of the jungle than they are.

The rebels who entered the jungle disappeared into the dense jungle like monkeys with the advantage of few people.

As the last rebels were able to move broke through, the entire battalion finally returned to calm.

Captain Miloš Chuatoko, accompanied by his soldiers, walked into the camp, which had already been penetrated by the enemy, and his face was very ugly.

Because, as far as he could see, the enemy attacking here was not the main rebel force at all, and the number was even less than the more than 1,000 people that Bassam said.

"Tell your battalion commander to come and see me!"

Commander Miloš Chuatoko said in a cold tone as he grabbed a battalion of soldiers.

When the soldier heard this, he glanced at his regiment commander with some hesitation, and stopped talking.

Miloš Chuatoko's face became even more gloomy when he saw this.

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!"

Seeing this, the soldier did not dare to hide it, and pointed in the direction of the battalion headquarters and said:

"I heard from the brothers that when the rebels had just broken through, they had an encounter with the battalion commander, and there was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and the battalion commander ...... The battalion commander died in the line of duty. ”

Hearing this, Commander Miloš Chuatoko couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes followed the direction pointed by the other party, and he did see where a group of people were surrounding.

It made his face even more difficult to look at.

There are a total of three battalions under his command, and the current situation seems that the first battalion is about to be disabled, and if the battalion commander dies in battle, it will be a huge loss.

Ignoring the soldier, Commander Miloš Chuatoko walked quickly to the crowd, and sure enough, he saw Bassam lying on his back on the muddy ground, and the medical soldiers next to him had given up on resuscitation.

Obviously, it's really dead.

This made Commander Miloš Chuatoko have nowhere to get angry, so he can only glance at the crowd and see that there are two more company commanders in the first battalion.

The two of them had already seen their own head of the regiment, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and everyone around them hurriedly followed suit.

At this time, the head of Miloš Chuatoko obviously didn't care about these false courtesies, and waved his hand indifferently:

"What are you doing here, since Battalion Commander Bassam has sacrificed his life for the country, hurry up and collect his body.

Your officers at and above the platoon level of the first battalion will gather with me at your battalion headquarters and give me a detailed explanation of the situation you have encountered. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stood up and saluted, and they should say yes in unison!

Then the man with the position followed the regiment commander and entered the battalion commander's tent, and the soldiers at the scene had begun to collect the body of their battalion commander.

The purpose of the group brought the people together by the head of Miloš Chuatoko, of course, was to find out what they were really going through.

After all, what he saw now was still very different from what Bassam had reported in the telegram.

Soon, after the accounts of these front-line officers, Commander Miloš Chuatoko also understood the actual situation at that time, and what he saw was clearly the same as the actual situation.

This shows that the content of the telegram sent by Bassam is a serious exaggeration.

Commander Miloš Chuatoko, who reacted, rushed out of the camp as soon as possible and set his sights in the direction of Manguari.

As if to confirm his conjecture, as soon as he looked in the direction of Manguari Town, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the town, and he could clearly feel the huge impact five kilometers away from the town.

This situation made his face change greatly, and he understood that the third battalion attacking the town of Manguari must have encountered an ambush.

With a blue face, he didn't have time to blame Bassam, who was already dead, and shouted to the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield:

"Assemble everyone! Fast....... Fast! ”

The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield in the camp were also frightened by the sudden explosion, and their eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where the explosion came from.

It wasn't until he heard the roar of his own regiment commander that he reacted, and they all left their work and began to assemble according to the regiment commander's orders.

As soon as Miloš Chuatoko finished speaking, a steady stream of gunfire rang out in the direction of the town of Manguari, and everyone understood what this meant.

Everyone began to hurry up and organize their equipment and move closer to their superiors.

At the constant urging of Commander Miloš Chuatoko, the remnants of the 2nd and 1st Battalions, which had just experienced a battle, regrouped and began to advance in the direction of the town of Manguari.

But the enemy clearly did not intend to make it easy for them, and from time to time a few gunshots could be heard in the jungle along the way.

As soon as the gunshots are fired, everyone will instinctively start looking for cover to hide, and then the commanders at all levels will send their soldiers to launch a counterattack against the enemy who attacks them.

But the enemy did not stay where they were, and when the warriors rushed into the jungle, they often found that they could not find any enemy at all.

After doing this twice, Commander Miloš Chuatoko also reacted, this was not an attack on himself at all, these gunners in the jungle were actually harassing themselves to the point of delaying their own reinforcements in Manguari.

Add time to the rebels on the battlefield of Manguari to eliminate their own three battalions.

"The 2nd Battalion was ordered to send a company forward to reconnoiter the jungle on both sides of the road and to destroy the scattered enemy who was harassing the large force. The rest, ignoring these harassments, rushed straight to Manguari with reinforcements of three battalions. ”

Commander Miloš Chuatoko did not hesitate to give a new order.

When the herald heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Yes, sir!"

Then he went straight to convey the order without stopping.

With a company searching for the enemy on both sides of the direction of the advance of the large force, the troops completely ignored the bullets fired from the jungle on both sides, and the speed of their advance increased markedly.

Just when Captain Miloš Chuatoko thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, two violent explosions were heard in front of him, and the whole team had to stop again.

"What's going on?"

Commander Miloš Chuatoko was uneasy for a while, and soon news from the front confirmed his suspicions.

"Regiment commander, the road ahead was mined by the enemy, and we lost three brothers. Now manual demining is being organized, and the speed of progress is limited! ”

Hearing this, Miloš Chuatoko couldn't help but scold:

"Bastards, these damn rebels. How long do you expect to take to clear the mines? ”

When the officer who came to report heard this, he looked at Commander Miloš Chuatoko with a look of embarrassment, and said with some hesitation:

"Commander, now we can't determine how much minefield the enemy has placed in front of us, so we can't give an exact time!"

Commander Miloš Chuatoko was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at the moment, and he knew very well in his heart that if the rebels set up an ambush in the town of Manguari and completely annihilated his three battalions, his strength would be greatly damaged, and the logistics and supply base was occupied by the enemy, and the weapons and ammunition in their hands had begun to run out.

If they can't rescue the three battalions besieged in Manguari in time and recapture the small town of Manguali, they may run out of ammunition and food and risk being eaten by the rebels, which he absolutely cannot accept.

This situation forced him to go crazy.

"Everyone, bypass the minefields from the jungle on both sides, don't stop, I don't believe these damn rebels can bury the entire perimeter of Manguari town with explosives."

Seeing his commander gritting his teeth, the officer did not hesitate and saluted directly.

"Yes, sir!"

Then he turned away and went to deliver the order.

Soon, the stagnant team began to move, and everyone left the already sparse road and walked into the dense jungle.

However, the speed of progress in the jungle was obviously limited, and although the team was moving slowly, the speed of progress made Captain Miloš Chuatoko a little anxious.

Raising the binoculars in his hand and looking at the nearby town of Manguari, the head of Miloš Chuatoko was anxious.

Because, the gunshots from the town slowly began to become less dense, which gave him a very bad premonition.

As the sun slowly broke free from the dark jungle and revealed a bright red head in the sky, the scene of the entire town of Manguari slowly appeared in front of Captain Miloš Chuatoko.

Look at the smoke rising over the streets in the middle of the town, and the increasingly sparse gunshots.

Captain Miloš Chuatoko looked at the corner of the town, but hesitated.

Although he didn't see the enemy and didn't find any ambush as far as the naked eye could see, he gave him the illusion of a tiger's den in Longtan.

He glanced at the soldiers around him who had finally broken through the enemy's obstacles and came to the outside of the small town of Manguari.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered the fighters:

"The 2nd Battalion is attacking from the streets, and the 1st Battalion is responsible for covering the flanks of the 2nd Battalion, so that we can wipe out all the rebels in Manguari. Advance! ”

At this time, Commander Miloš Chuatoko had no other choice, after all, the third battalion was still resisting, and if he came outside the town and suspected that there was an ambush against them in the town, and retreated, the morale of their entire team might be dissipated.

At that time, there will be no need for the enemy to attack at all, and these warriors may directly run to the ground, which he absolutely does not want to see.

As his order was given, the various companies below moved one after another, as a battalion that had just fought with the rebels, it was only the task of flanking cover, which could be regarded as the regiment commander's care for them.

Because, they are now basically in a state of remnants, the entire team has lost nearly a third of its personnel, the battalion commander has been killed in battle, and after more than two hours of fighting, there has begun to be a shortage of weapons and ammunition.

If they were to be the main attackers, they would probably be discouraged halfway through.
