Chapter 483: The Second Encirclement and Suppression
While Fang Lang was discussing the War Department's operations with General Nairo Mora, far away in the primeval jungle on Brazil's northwest border, the Eddie Brothers' armed forces, which were struggling to advance through the jungle where Brazil and Colombia meet.
"Brother, I don't understand, why are we running?"
Raymond Eddie, who was stubbled and covered in mud, said to his big brother Brissor Eddie beside him with a depressed face.
"This time, the government army sent a full 5,000 people to surround us, why don't you run away?
Give them heads? β
Brissot Eddie, whose face was gloomy and covered in mud, used a lighter to bake the blood-soaked leech's buttocks from his legs, and at the same time resisted the nausea and pain, and pulled it off his legs.
looked at his legs full of leeches, and said with a dissatisfied face.
Brizo Eddy, who had lived in the city since childhood, clearly underestimated the dangers of the Amazon jungle, and after a two-day jungle trek, a team of nearly 2,000 people fell more than a dozen people.
Some people died from mosquito bites, some people died from the mouths of Meng beasts, some people died of poisoning, and the way of death was strange, which made the people in the team panic and complained.
Such a small loss is also due to the fact that everyone is originally a person who survives near the Amazon jungle, and there are primitive tribal hunters who are proficient in jungle survival as guides.
Raymond Eddie obviously knew how powerful these leeches were, took out a dagger and nailed it to the leeches that were thrown to the ground by his brother, and cursed in his mouth:
"But they haven't come yet!
We retreated without even touching them, and our brothers thought we were scared. β
Brissot Eddy glanced at Raymond Eddie's action of stabbing the leech with a dagger, and said dissatisfiedly:
"These leeches can't be killed with a knife, don't wait for them to become two."
Then he glanced up at the rebel ranks who were resting, glared at Raymond Eddy and said:
"These brothers are all from our family, and you are willing to let them be consumed by the government army like this?"
Raymond Eddie did not stop his movements, but continued to use it on the leech's body, constantly stabbing it, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on the little leech.
"Of course I can't bear it, but the government army hasn't come yet, and I don't know if your news is accurate or not, so we left our family business and fled, which made many brothers start to be dissatisfied."
"I think you're dissatisfied!
How? The last time I managed to defeat a government army, I felt that I was very powerful, and I didn't take the government army seriously?
My message is inaccurate, and it's not your turn to question it.
You just have to bring your own men, don't be compared to others. β
Brissot Eddy glared at his brother again, and after speaking, he did not forget to look at BatlΓ© Chloe, who was talking and laughing with a rebel soldier not far away.
After this period of time together, the two brothers realized the great threat of this Batlle Chloe under their command, and unlike some of them, Batlle Chloe mingled with the soldiers and won the support of the soldiers.
Raymond Eddie didn't look up, his hand still kept stabbing the leech on the ground with a dagger, the whole leech had turned into a lump of flesh and blood, and his movements did not stop at all.
The elder brother's criticism made him feel very harsh.
"I know you have contacts with people in the Labour Party and are able to receive updates from within the government.
But these things must not be told to the brothers, because it is normal for them to have thoughts in their hearts, I mean that we should have a hard fight with the government army, and then it is not too late to withdraw into the jungle.
In this way, everyone knows the strength of the enemy, and naturally there will be no opinion. β
When Brissot Eddy heard his brother's words, he sighed softly before he said:
"Alas! I don't don't understand this, but I have received information that the government army is attacking the two towns under our control in two separate ways.
γ
The government forces, which have absolute superiority in numbers, will find it very difficult for us to evacuate safely once they get into contact with us.
Don't you understand that it is more reassuring for soldiers to evacuate in a hurry after defeat, and to evacuate first to avoid the enemy's edge?
What you have to do is to take the initiative to explain the situation to the soldiers like Batlle Chloe and get everyone's approval, instead of coming to me to complain.
Also, don't discuss my intelligence sources with anyone, understand? β
Hearing this, Raymond Eddy stopped what he was doing, looked up at his brother and said:
"So where the hell are we going?
It's too dangerous in this jungle, and if I don't find a foothold as soon as possible, I'm worried that the army's morale will be scattered! β
"I didn't expect the jungle to be so dangerous, but don't worry!
I had already prepared a jungle camp that the government army would not have noticed.
As long as we hide in the jungle for a while, they will definitely be in a hurry, and once they are in a hurry, they are prone to make mistakes, and then we can seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson. β
Brissel Eddie was a little embarrassed, but he was still confident.
But Raymond Eddie is not as optimistic as him, and he is used to city life, and it is enough to be forced to hide in a remote town. Now he has to let him hide in the dense jungle and live a life like a primitive man, he really can't accept it.
"If the government army keeps stationing heavily in the town, we won't be able to go back, will we?"
Brissot Eddy felt his brother's depressed mood, smiled and patted the other party's back and said:
"Don't worry! My brother, these government troops won't be in the town for long, and the logistical pressure of such a large army stationed here is very high.
The Brazilian Army is not the US Army, they do not have such an advanced logistics system.
What's more, the Ministry of Defense won't give them so much time. β
As Brissot Eddy said, the commander of the government forces, Major General Wotai Wesker, did not have much time, and pressure from the presidential palace and the Ministry of Defense forced the War Department to send a large army deep into the Amazon jungle as soon as the rainy season ended.
But when Major-General Wottai Wesker's team stormed the towns of Bittencott and Manguari, he knew his desire to end the battle quickly had failed.
"What? They were evacuated two days ago? β
Major General Wottai Wesker kicked over the desk in front of him and angrily questioned the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer in front of him.
The lieutenant colonel was so frightened by the general's anger that he almost couldn't stand steadily, but he still held back the fear in his heart and hurriedly spoke:
"Yes, General!
We learned from the townspeople that they had begun to pack their bags four days earlier, and that all the rebels had disappeared two days earlier in the morning. β
Although Major General Wottai Wesker has a fiery temper that catches on at a moment, he is not a fool and immediately grasps the point in the intelligence.
"They started packing four days ago?
Looks like someone leaked the news of our coming over to these damn rats in advance.
Don't let me know who it is, or I'll screw his head off and feed it to the crocodile.
It is impossible for so many people to directly evaporate from the world, have you found where they evacuated from? β
Seeing that Wottai Wesk's mood seemed to have calmed down, the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer spit out lightly, stood up and saluted:
"Report to the General! We were looking for, and I suspect they were boated into a tributary of the Amazon River, and then, from the tributary, ran ashore into the jungle. β
Major General Wottai Wesker frowned, looked at the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer with some puzzlement, and said:
"Is there any basis for this?"
"In the last battle, the rebels captured a lot of transport ships, but now they are gone. We've already scouted the roads around both towns, and there's been no sign of a large-scale army operation lately. β
The lieutenant colonel's intelligence officer was obviously not a general person, and immediately explained what he had learned to Major General Wottai Wesker.
Hearing this, Major General Wottai Wesker nodded and said to the adjutant beside him:
"Map!"
The adjutant hurriedly stepped forward, took out the nearby map from the map tube beside him, and spread it out in front of Major General Wottai Wesker.
Major General Wottai Wesker, a veteran of the European War and with actual combat experience, swept his eyes from the map in front of him and asked directly:
"Do you think they're going to go straight down the Amazon and hide in Colombia?"
As a temporary command of the government army, of course, it is not only Major General Wotai Wesker and Lieutenant Colonel Intelligence Officer, but as the command of a divisional combat unit, it has a complete staff department.
As soon as the words of Major General Wottai Wesker fell, an officer with the rank of colonel soon said:
"I don't think it's possible that since this rebel army occupied the neighborhood, the Colombian side has tightened the security on the border.
If they had taken refuge in Colombia by water, they would have clashed with Colombian border guards, but we have not been informed of this until now. β
Although Major General Wottey Wesker agreed with the other party's statement, he still turned to a staff officer and said:
"I immediately contacted the Colombian side and asked if they had seen any traces of the rebels."
"Yes, General!"
A staff officer stood up and saluted, then turned to leave.
Looking at the dense water network on the map, Major General Wottai Wesker had a headache, he couldn't disperse everyone to look for the enemy's traces, which would give the enemy a chance to break through.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he slowly raised his head and said:
"Miles, have your men figure out how many ships they have in total."
When the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer heard this, he stood up and saluted:
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Then Wotai Wesker looked at a middle-aged colonel officer with gold-rimmed glasses beside him and said:
"Chief of Staff, it seems that we have to find a way to get some air support, you come forward to apply, and transfer a few Air Force reconnaissance planes to search the nearby river carefully,
It's not easy to find people hiding in the jungle, but boats can't be found!
As long as we confirm the direction of the other person's escape, we have a chance to pull them out and get rid of them. β
This made the eyes of the middle-aged colonel officer who was pondering on the side light up, yes! You can ask for air force reconnaissance support!
Glancing at his division commander, I have to say that those who have participated in the European war are experienced, and immediately thought of reconnaissance from the air.
"Yes, Your Excellency!
I immediately applied to the Ministry of National Defense, and I felt that it was very necessary for us to build an airstrip nearby to facilitate the take-off and landing of reconnaissance planes, otherwise the air force planes would not be able to stay for a long time. β
Major General Wottai Wesker obviously recognized this matter very much, and glanced at a staff officer on the other side and said:
"Order a regiment, organize the local people, immediately find a suitable place near the small town of Manguari to build a field airfield, and establish a guard, I will only give him three days!"
The staff officer commanded:
"Yes! Your Excellency, General! β
Then he turned and walked away.
As one order after another was issued, the entire military camp quickly moved into action, and the second encirclement and suppression operation against the Eddie brothers rebels officially began.
