Fortunately, Captain Miloš Chuatoko didn't say much. After all, in his opinion, he was a lion and he didn't need to care about the hateful eyes of the antelopes on the roadside.
As we go deeper, this scene appears from time to time.
When he arrived at the town government, three battalion commanders were already leading their men waiting for his arrival.
Seeing the Brazilian flag raised outside the town hall, Captain Milos Chuatoko finally smiled with satisfaction.
When several subordinates saw the smile on the leader's face, they quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"Report, Your Excellency, Commander, our regiment has successfully recaptured the town of Bittenkot at ten o'clock this morning in accordance with the battle plan, and wiped out a total of 86 rebels. There were no casualties in our army."
After hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko nodded with satisfaction and said:
“Well done, brothers, thank you for your hard work.
Although we have occupied Bittenkot, the enemy's main force has not been found yet, and we cannot relax our vigilance.
Let your soldiers patrol the streets in shifts to ensure that there are no remaining rebel forces in the town. "
"Yes, sir!"
Then Captain Miloš Chuatoko turned to the chief of staff beside him and said:
"Send power to the Ministry of National Defense and say that our army has successfully completed the task of recovering Bittenkot town and that the enemy has been defeated by our army."
Upon hearing this, the chief of staff quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, making arrangements to send a report to the Ministry of National Defense.
And Captain Miloš Chuatoko, surrounded by three battalion commanders, walked into the town government of Bitenkot Town! A two-story brick and stone building, it is also the best building built in the entire town.
First Battalion Commander Bassam walked up to Commander Miloš Chuatoko with an eager face and introduced him:
"Captain, we have seized a lot of good things from the town government. Do you want to go take a look?"
Hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko's brows jumped unconsciously and said:
"Oh! What good things can be found in such a remote place?"
Bassam smiled slightly at Miloš Chuatoko and said:
"Hehe...Have you forgotten what Brother Eddie's team does?"
Captain Miloš Chuatoko frowned and said in a deep voice:
"It can't be DP!"
Seeing his captain's face, Bassam quickly stopped his smile. He was still a little complacent at first, but then he realized that although his captain loved money, he was very disgusted with DP.
I wish I could give myself a slap in the face, it seems that I am a little carried away after just ransacking the town.
His face straightened up quickly, his tone changed quickly, and his smiling tone turned into gritted teeth:
"Yes, Captain. These damn bastards actually used the town government's warehouse to store red soil. It is an unforgivable crime.
Fortunately, we arrived in time and seized all these harmful things.
As for how to deal with it, it is up to you, the leader, to decide! "
Captain Miloš Chuatoko couldn't feel the change in Bassam's tone, but he also knew the virtue of his subordinates. As long as it could be exchanged for money, he would not refuse anything.
After hearing his words, he glanced at the other party calmly, and then slowly said:
"Seal up the things, and after the Eddie brothers are eliminated, use these things as evidence of crime and hand them over to the Ministry of National Defense!"
Bassam's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and a feeling of heartache came to his heart. The quantity of this batch of red soil is not small! It can be sold for a lot of money if resold! Unexpectedly, Captain Miloš Chuatoko would turn these things over to the Ministry of Defense as incriminating evidence.
The other two battalion commanders behind him also felt a burst of physical pain.
However, they are not easy to resist the orders of their superiors.
I could only nod my head in response.
How could Captain Miloš Chuatoko not understand the little thoughts of these people? He glanced at them sternly and said in a solemn tone:
"You must always remember your identity. We are the Brazilian border guards and the country's regular force.
I can turn a blind eye to some of your little tricks when hunting down rebels. But DP must not be touched.
Understand? "
Although, Bassam didn't take it seriously. However, when the officer spoke, he could only stand at attention and salute:
"Yes, sir."
The other two battalion commanders also quickly stood at attention and took orders, looking like they were being taught.
"Besides these, aren't there any other valuable things? Have you found any clues about the whereabouts of the enemy?"
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing this scene, Captain Miloš Chuatoko felt dissatisfied. The men under him were too stretched to take on big responsibilities. He heard that Brazil would soon establish a regular military academy. It seemed that it would These people should be sent over to study hard.
Just then, the chief of staff walked back quickly, came to Miloš Chuatoko and said:
"Captain, the telegram has been sent. However, we just received a clear telegram when our radio station was turned on. You'd better take a look."
Hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko glanced at his chief of staff with some confusion.
He was not familiar with the other party now. As the chief officer of this force, when the Ministry of National Defense ordered their regiment to be responsible for encircling and suppressing the Eddie brothers' armed forces, he also sent him the new chief of staff.
In his opinion, the chief of staff was created by the Ministry of National Defense to supervise him or to divide his control over the army. After all, according to the Brazilian military system, the chief of staff has a lot of power in the army. It can be said that he is the leader of the regiment. Number two.
Therefore, he did not give the new chief of staff the rights and peace he deserved.
Instead, he has been bossing the other person around, but the other person doesn't seem to mind. He treats his alienation as if he doesn't know about it and is doing the work he assigned him seriously.
I had already developed a good impression of him.
But now the way the other party was speaking secretly made him a little unhappy.
However, in front of three other subordinates, he decided to give the chief of staff some face and did not scold him. Instead, he took the telegram handed over by the other party.
The telegram was held in a folder. When Captain Miloš Chuatoko opened the folder and saw the contents, his expression changed drastically and he looked at his chief of staff in disbelief.
"When did this happen?"
"Just now, after we reported to the Ministry of National Defense, when I was about to come back to you, the people in the telecommunications room can prove it."
The chief of staff had to clarify the backward order of the two telegrams and inform the other party that someone could prove it to him.
Otherwise, your superiors may think that you are deliberately concealing information, which will arouse the suspicion of your superiors.
Hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko looked at the other party deeply.
Since the other party said that the people in the telecommunications room could prove it, he believed that the other party was not deceiving him. After all, he had not been here long.
It is impossible for people in the telecommunications room to join the other party so quickly. Moreover, this kind of thing is easy to investigate, and the other party should not dare to lie.
But if that were the case, he would be embarrassed.
Because this clear-coded telegram was exactly the goal of their trip and was sent by the Eddie brothers.
The content of the telegram was also very simple, which was to announce that they had successfully occupied Manguari, another town downstream of the Yapra River.
Bittencote and Manguari are the two closest towns on the upper reaches of the Yapra River, a tributary of the Amazon River, close to the Colombian border. It is also the only two human gathering areas within a radius of about 500 kilometers.
When they went to Bittenkot this time, they placed their logistics base in Manguari, which was also the retreat for the border guards.
If they cannot recapture Manguari in time, they will be in a dangerous situation of running out of ammunition and food.
Because Bittencourt is a border town at the junction with Colombia, continue upstream along the Yapra River and enter Colombia.
As Brazilian border guards, if they cross the border and enter Colombia, it will be an invasion of other country's territory. Therefore, this direction is absolutely impossible.
Except for this direction, the other directions are dense Amazon jungles. As Brazilian border guards, they are very aware of the horror of the tropical rainforest.
What's more, the depth of this rainforest is more than 500 kilometers. Wanting to travel through such a place alive is basically a wishful thinking.
Therefore, they have only one way to go now, which is to move downstream along the Yapra River, eliminate the rebels who have occupied their logistics base, retake the town of Manguari, and open up their own life path.
But the biggest problem for Commander Miloš Chuatoko now is that he had just sent a request for credit telegram to the Ministry of National Defense, reporting that he had successfully occupied the enemy's lair, but when he turned around, he found that his retreat had been cut off by the enemy.
This is simply a big joke. I guess the senior officials in the Ministry of National Defense are already cordially greeting the female family members of their families!
This Eddie brother did not play according to the routine, making Miloš Chuatoko very passive.
It would have been easier if this Qinggong telegram had not been sent. But now that the situation is like this, the officials in the Ministry of National Defense may start to wonder if he has lied about military information.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Captain Miloš Chuatoko closed the telegram in his hand and walked into the town government angrily.
The three battalion commanders looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on, and all turned their attention to the new chief of staff.
But the chief of staff himself remained calm without saying a word, followed directly in the footsteps of the regiment leader, and walked quickly into the town government.
Captain Miloš Chuatoko entered the regimental headquarters where his subordinates had set up in the town government and looked at the map hanging on the wall. Start thinking about what to do next.
Sending a telegram to explain to the Ministry of Defense was the next best thing. The main problem now is how to eliminate the Eddie brothers as an anti-government force.
Needless to say, the opponent's strength will definitely increase after occupying Manguari and obtaining the supplies they left there.
If he leads his army directly towards Manguari regardless of all costs, he might suffer a big loss.
After all, I and others had not rested all night last night, and now everyone had big dark circles under their eyes. In addition, in order to quickly deal with the Eddie brothers, after receiving the order, they rushed to the town of Bittencourt without stopping.
The entire team did not come for an urgent rest and occupied the town again this morning. Although they encountered no resistance, fierce fighting took place. But the team must also take a break, otherwise the soldiers under his command may have objections.
Fortunately, today's battle did not consume much. When we go back to recapture Manguari, we still have enough weapons and ammunition.
But the biggest problem with this matter now may be the blow to morale. He knows very well the moral character of the troops he leads. Therefore, he is very worried that once the news spreads, the troops will be in chaos.
But it is obviously impossible to hide such important news.
Therefore, Captain Miloš Chuatoko is very confused now.
The chief of staff naturally knew that the current situation was very embarrassing, otherwise he would not have just handed the telegram to the regiment leader for his own review instead of reporting it in public.
Entering the room, he saw the group leader staring at the map without saying a word. He walked slowly to the group leader and said:
“Captain, I don’t think we can panic now, nor can we turn around and fight back to Manguari right away.
The Eddie brothers were able to seize the opportunity so accurately and launch the attack on Manguari. Obviously, they were very aware of our movements.
We must be careful not to give the enemy an opportunity! "
Captain Miloš Chuatoko glanced at his new chief of staff with some surprise. It seemed that the other person was not a useless person, which made him very satisfied.
He held his two hands in front of him, relieved his emotions, and then slowly said:
"Yes! I think so too. Although our retreat is cut off now, we have gained nothing by occupying the town of Bittenkot.
At least the enemy lost their base camp. We can also explain it to the outside world.
Moreover, by staying here, we can prevent the enemy from escaping to Colombia.
The question now is whether the officials of the Ministry of Defense will force us to launch an attack on Manguari as soon as possible. "
The chief of staff understood what the leader meant. Although they missed the target and did not eliminate any enemies of the Eddie family, regaining the lost ground could be considered a real achievement.
However, the escape of the Eddie brothers has caused the Minister of Justice to resign, and the other party has blatantly declared anti-government opposition. The political impact of this incident is really bad.
Politicians absolutely do not want to see these two brothers continue to exist. It is conceivable that the Ministry of National Defense will urge them to seize the time to eliminate this rebel group.
Therefore, their idea of taking things slowly is almost impossible to achieve.
The chief of staff sighed helplessly after hearing the commander's words:
"Yes! It seems that we need to prepare early. The rainy season in the Amazon is coming soon.
If we want to eliminate the Eddie brothers, we must wipe them out before the rainy season arrives.
Otherwise, the difficulty of eradicating them will increase exponentially during the rainy season. "
Hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko nodded and said to himself, the chief of staff:
"What do you think we should do?"
The chief of staff unexpectedly glanced at Miloš Chuatoko. He did not expect that the regiment commander would ask his opinion. This was the first time since he joined his unit.
Hearing this, he did not hesitate and said directly:
“I think we should apologize to our superiors first, lest anyone catch the enemy sneaking away from us and attacking other places.
Then, let's see if we can ask our superiors to send a force to go upstream along the Yapra River from the lower reaches and join us in flanking the Eddie Brothers' armed forces in Manguari. "
After hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko continued to look at the map calmly and asked:
“Do you think that now that you can leave the town of Bittencourt to us, do you think you’ll do it again in Manguari?”
The chief of staff was stunned by these words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
