Fang Lang had expected the attitude of the army, and he didn't care, just smiled slightly and said slowly:

"It's not a big deal, as you know, our marines have completely wiped out the main rebel force and captured a lot of prisoners.

After interrogation, a rebel officer revealed to us that the rebels had hidden an ambush of about 500 men in the towns of Bittenkot and Manguari, which were ready to be used as internal countermeasures in the counterattack on the two towns.

Unfortunately, the officer, who was himself badly wounded on the battlefield, did not survive. And the person who was specifically responsible for arranging this mission has disappeared on the battlefield again, and our marines are still looking for this guy in the jungle.

If we can capture each other, we can go directly to the two small towns according to the roster and arrest people.

But now, days have passed, and we haven't searched for this guy, and our main force will not be able to get out of the jungle for a while.

So, if you want to trouble Lieutenant Colonel Ribeiro, help keep an eye on the situation in the town during this time, don't let these rebels run away, and when our marines are transferred, we will wipe them out.

This favor should not be difficult for Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro! ”

As soon as Fang Lang's words were finished, Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro wanted to refuse without even thinking about it.

"General Fang, you also know that we have received the order to withdraw our troops......."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, the chief of staff on the side grabbed his arm, and Spyros Ribeiro turned his head to look at the chief of staff beside him with some confusion.

saw that the chief of staff kept frowning at him, as if signaling him to agree.

This surprised him, after all, the two of them belonged to the army officers, and it would be good if they didn't make trouble for the navy, and now the navy officers still want to let themselves help him, how is this possible.

But he has been cooperating with the chief of staff for a long time, and he has a certain understanding, and he knows that this guy has a more flexible head, and since the other party is like this, he must have his own reasons.

Hurriedly stopped his words.

Seeing this, Fang Lang on the other side smiled slightly in his heart, but said with a look of pity on his face:

"I understand, it's true that what I thought was too simple, and since your army has received the order to withdraw, I won't force it anymore.

I don't know when your army is going to evacuate, so I'll go back and make arrangements to see if I can send a company up first to take over your army's defense area.

Don't let these rebels run away when the time comes. ”

Before Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro could speak, the chief of staff on the side had already spoken directly:

"General Fang, what are you talking about, now you are the front-line commander, since you have a need, of course we are obeying your command.

I immediately reported to the War Department to request a delay in our withdrawal.

If your Marines still need to hunt down rebels in the jungle, don't rush to transfer back first, we'll help you guard here, and there will be no problems.

Also, you don't have to worry about Manguali Town, I will tell you what you need and guarantee to help you stabilize the situation in the town. ”

Although Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro did not understand why his chief of staff said this, he had to say again and again at this time:

"That's right, General Fang, now you are the commander-in-chief of the front line, since you have needs, we will definitely cooperate fully."

Hearing the words of the two, Fang Lang was naturally full of surprise, and hurriedly took the initiative to speak with a smile on his face:

"Hahaha..... Good, good, good.

If that's the case, that's great, don't worry, when I get rid of the rebels, I'll report them to the two of you for their selfless help.

At that time, there will definitely be no less credit. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro looked at his chief of staff when he heard this, and laughed and said:

"Haha.... Then I really thank General Fang. ”

Then, of course, another mutual flattery, Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro also left Fang Lang in the barracks for lunch.

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Fang Lang staggered out of the barracks under the farewell of the two and left in the car.

After Fang Lang walked away, Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro looked at his chief of staff with a puzzled expression and said:

"Why did you agree to help them stabilize the town?

You must know that this time the navy has already made a big show, trampling on the face of our army and rubbing it on the ground, and we are really obeying the other party's command.

If the War Department elders find out, we won't be able to eat and walk around when we go back. ”

The chief of staff said with a smile on his face:

"It is precisely because of this navy that we have to take on this task."

After speaking, he glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro and motioned for the two to return to the office.

After returning to the office, the chief of staff stopped selling the guanzi and said directly:

"Didn't you hear General Fang say? The rebels laid an ambush of 500 men in both Bitkot and Mangari. Prepare to use it in a counterattack on two towns.

】

Now that the rebels have been wiped out, the rebels in the two towns must be even deeper.

Therefore, they did not dare to act rashly when they did not know the specific situation of the rebels in the town.

That's a credit to the door! ”

As soon as he heard this, Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro immediately understood what his chief of staff was thinking.

"You mean, we're going to go straight to the town and take out the rebels in town?"

Hearing this, the chief of staff said with a wicked smile:

"That's right, instead of getting any credit for this encirclement and suppression operation, we have lost our troops.

When we go back, we will be held accountable for the defeat like Major General Wottai Wesker. If we can seize this opportunity to scrape the rebels hiding in the town, won't that be our victory?

When the time comes, not only will we not be held accountable, but we will also be rewarded! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro also said with a smile on his face:

"Haha...... It's still the chief of staff, I didn't expect you to find out about this opportunity, no wonder you want to stop me.

At that time, I didn't listen carefully to the other party's words at all, I just wanted to send him away quickly.

I almost missed such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Thanks to the Chief of Staff for the reminder! ”

The chief of staff smiled even more proudly:

"This is thanks to the lack of troops on the other side! Haha......."

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

It took a long time for Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro to say as if something had suddenly occurred to him:

"But we don't have any specific information about the rebels! How can the rebels be swept out of the local population? ”

The chief of staff also frowned when he heard this, but soon he gritted his teeth and said:

"If we know the specific list of rebels, we don't have our share of the credit.

Now that we know that the rebels are in the town, we simply gather all the people in the town and screen them one by one, and I don't believe we can't find them out. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro thought about it and had no better way, so he could only grit his teeth and say:

"Well, without further ado, we must find out all these rebels hiding in the town before the navy finds the rebel officer in charge of this matter.

I'll report this to the War Department now. ”

The chief of staff nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"We'll get in touch with the garrison in Manguali town and inform them of the news before reporting to the War Department.

This will allow the garrison of Manguali to lead us to a great favor. ”

When Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro heard this, he also nodded with a smile on his face, and gladly accepted:

"Okay, then we'll do it."

Soon, the news of the presence of five hundred rebels lurking in each of the towns of Bittenkot and Manguali spread between the War Department and the garrisons of the two towns.

The new Minister of Army, Lieutenant General Hombto Alder, was overjoyed upon the news and hurriedly ordered that the garrisons in both places must eliminate all the rebels hiding in the town before the navy could react.

In order to redeem the Army's incompetence in this operation to encircle and suppress the rebels.

Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro, who received the clear order, naturally had no scruples, walked to the high platform in the middle of the barracks in high spirits, and said to the officers and soldiers of the regiment who were already ready to go:

"Set out, surround the town of Bittenkot, and never let a single person be missed."

Then, in the midst of the overwhelming response of the officers and men of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Spyros Ribeiro and his chief of staff took the lead in boarding his jeep and surrounded the entire town of Bittencot in a hurry.

Because when Fang Lang left their barracks, it was already noon, plus the time when they reported to the War Department and the whole army was ready to assign tasks to assemble.

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's already getting dark.

In order not to give Fang Lang enough time to react, the War Department's action this time must not be unfast.

In this kind of town-wide search, the authorized officers and soldiers were naturally like wolves and tigers, showing no mercy to the residents of the town, and unceremoniously carrying their favorite property directly into their own pockets.

There have been several cases of insulting women.

In this case, it is not uncommon for the townspeople to resist.

Because Brazil does not ban guns, and during the rebel occupation, in order to win over the local residents, some weapons were also given to the local residents.

Residents with weapons can easily get into a clash with the government forces without understanding the purpose of the government forces.

This made the government forces, who had already believed that there were hidden rebels in the town, did not hesitate to launch an attack on these residents.

Soon, the town of Bittenkot turned into a small battlefield.

By the next morning, when Fang Lang got the news, the two towns of Bittenkot and Manguari had been successfully recovered by the army, and this operation to eliminate the hidden rebels in the town had caused more than 2,000 innocent townspeople to die and more than 1,000 to be injured.

The army also paid more than a hundred casualties.

The two towns were almost completely destroyed, and the army did not find any information from the towns that could prove the identity of the rebels.

In this regard, the army did not feel any surprise, but hurriedly reported this combat achievement to the Ministry of National Defense.

Such a result made Fang Lang dumbfounded, and he didn't believe his ears for a while.

It's not because of the army's behavior of stealing merit, after all, this so-called hidden information of the rebels was originally Fang Lang's trick into the army to help clean up the local residents of the two small towns.

After all, for the sake of the later immigration plan, Fang Lang had to clean up the hostile locals in the town, so as not to bring unnecessary variables to his later plans.

He thought that the army would screen the townspeople, and even thought that if the town couldn't find so many so-called rebels, the army might find a way to scrape together five hundred people to hand over the credit.

But he never expected that the army would directly attack the two towns and destroy the towns.

directly killed more than 2,000 people, and lost more than 100 people himself. There are no rebels in these two towns, and there must be rebels.

Whether the army finds out about this problem or not, even if they are forgery, they must falsify evidence that there are real rebels in the town.

Otherwise, their behavior will be stereotyped as killing good and taking meritorious deeds.
