While Fang Lang was discussing the actions of the Army Department with General Nairo Mora, far away in the primitive jungle on the northwest border of Brazil, the sizable Eddie Brothers armed force was struggling to move forward in the jungle where Brazil and Colombia meet.
"Brother, I don't understand, why should we run?"
Raymond Eddie, who was unshaven and covered in mud, said to his elder brother Brisso Eddie with a depressed look on his face.
“This time the government troops sent a total of 5,000 people to surround us, why would we stay here if we didn’t run away?
Give them heads? "
Brissot Eddie, who had a gloomy face and was covered in mud, used a lighter to bake the blood-sucked leech's butt on his leg. He endured the nausea and pain and pulled it out of his leg.
Looking at his legs covered with leeches, he said with a dissatisfied expression.
Brisso Eddy, who has lived in the city since childhood, obviously underestimated the dangers of the Amazon jungle. After two days of trekking in the jungle, more than ten people in the team of nearly 2,000 people fell.
Some people died from mosquito bites, some died from the mouths of ferocious beasts, some died from poisoning, and all kinds of strange ways of death made people in the team panic and complain.
Such little loss is also due to the fact that everyone is originally a person living 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. He took out his dagger and stabbed the leech that was thrown to the ground by his brother, cursing in his mouth:
"But they haven't come yet!
We retreated without even touching them. Our brothers thought we were afraid. "
Brissot Eddie glanced at Raymond Eddie's action of stabbing a leech with a dagger, and said dissatisfied:
"These leeches cannot be killed with a knife. Don't wait until they become two."
Then he looked up at the resting rebel team, glared at Raymond Eddie and said:
"These brothers are our family members. Are you willing to let them be wasted by the government forces like this?"
Raymond Eddie did not stop the movement of his hand, but continued to use it on the leech, pricking it constantly, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on this little leech.
"Of course I couldn't bear to part with you, but the government troops haven't arrived yet, and we don't even know whether your information is accurate or not, so we abandoned our family property and ran away, which made many brothers start to feel dissatisfied."
"I guess you are dissatisfied!
how? After successfully defeating the government troops last time, you feel that you are very powerful and you don’t take the government troops seriously anymore?
It's not your turn to question whether my information is accurate or not.
You just need to take care of your own manpower and don't be outcompeted by others. "
Brissot Eddy glared at his brother again, and after speaking, he did not forget to look at Bartlett Crow, who was talking and laughing with a group of rebel soldiers not far away.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, both brothers realized the huge threat posed by their subordinate Bartlett Crow. Unlike some of them who were aloof, Bartlett Crow got along well with the soldiers and was very popular with them. support.
Raymond Eddie did not raise his head, but kept stabbing the leech on the ground with his dagger. The whole leech had turned into a mass of mud that was like a lake of flesh and blood, and his movements showed no intention of stopping.
His brother's criticism made him feel very harsh.
"I know you have contacts in the Labor Party and receive the latest news from within the government.
But these things must not be told to the brothers. It is normal for them to have thoughts in their hearts. What I mean is that we should have a head-on fight with the government troops and then retreat into the jungle.
In this way, everyone will naturally not have any objections if they know how powerful the enemy is. "
After Brissot Eddie heard his brother's words, he sighed softly and said:
"Alas! It's not that I don't understand this truth, but the intelligence I received is that the government troops were divided into two groups and attacked the two small towns under our control in an upright manner.
】
Once the government forces, which have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, get into trouble with us, it will be difficult for us to evacuate safely.
Don't you understand that it is more reassuring for soldiers to evacuate hastily after a defeat, or to evacuate in anticipation of the enemy and avoid the enemy's sharp attack?
What you have to do is to take the initiative to explain the situation to the soldiers like Bartlett Crowe and get everyone's approval, instead of coming to me to complain.
Also, don’t discuss my intelligence sources with anyone, do you understand? "
Upon hearing this, Raymond Eddie stopped what he was doing, looked up at his brother and said:
"Then where are we going?
This jungle is so dangerous. If we don't find a place to stay as soon as possible, I'm worried that our army will lose morale! "
“I didn’t expect the jungle to be so dangerous, but don’t worry!
I have been prepared for a long time. I have already prepared a jungle camp so that the government troops cannot find it.
As long as we hide in the jungle for a while, they will definitely be anxious. Once anxious, they will easily make mistakes. Then we can seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson. "
Although Brissot Eddie looked a little embarrassed, he was still confident.
But Raymond Eddie was not as optimistic as he was. He was used to urban life and was frustrated enough to be forced to hide in a remote town. Now he was asked to hide in the dense jungle and live like a primitive man. He really couldn't accept it.
"If government troops keep heavily stationed in the town, we won't be able to go back, right?"
Brissot Eddie felt his brother's depressed mood, smiled and patted the other man's back and said:
"Don't worry! My brother, these government troops will not stay in the town for long. The logistical pressure of such a large army stationed here is very high.
The Brazilian Army is not the U.S. Army, and they don't have that advanced logistics system.
What's more, the Department of Defense won't give them that much time. "
As Brissot Eddy said, the government army commander Major General Walter Wesker did not have much time. The pressure from the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of Defense forced the Ministry of War to send out troops as soon as the rainy season ended. The army penetrates deep into the Amazon jungle.
But when Major General Walter Wesker's team rushed into the towns of Bittenkot and Manguari, he knew that his idea of ending the battle quickly was in vain.
"What? They evacuated two days ago?"
Major General Walter 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 upright, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and said quickly:
"Yes, General!
We learned from the residents of the town that they had started packing their bags four days ago, and all the rebels disappeared in the early morning two days ago. "
Although Major General Walter Wesker had a fiery temper, he was not a fool and immediately grasped the key points in the intelligence.
“They started packing four days ago?
It seems that someone leaked the news to these damn mice in advance that we were coming.
Don't let me know who it is, or I'll rip his head off and feed it to the crocodiles.
It's impossible for so many people to just disappear. Has anyone found where they evacuated from? "
Seeing that Walter Wesker's mood seemed to have calmed down, the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer gently spit out a mouthful, stood at attention and saluted:
"Report General! We are looking. I suspect they entered a tributary of the Amazon River by boat, and then ran ashore from the tributary into the jungle."
Major General Walter Wesker frowned, looked at the Lieutenant Colonel Intelligence Officer with some confusion and said:
"Is there any basis for this?"
"In the last battle, the rebels captured a lot of transport ships, but now these transport ships are gone. We have sent people to investigate the roads around the two towns, and there have been no traces of large-scale military operations recently."
The lieutenant colonel intelligence officer was obviously not a general person, and he immediately explained what he learned to Major General Walter Wesker.
Hearing this, Major General Walter Wesker nodded and said to the adjutant beside him:
"map!"
The adjutant quickly stepped forward, took out a nearby map from the map tube beside him, and spread it in front of Major General Walter Wesker.
Major General Walter Wesker was a veteran of the European War and had actual combat experience. He glanced at the map in front of him and asked directly:
"Do you think they went directly along the Amazon River and hid in Colombia?"
As the temporary headquarters of the government forces, this is of course not just Major General Walter Wesker and the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer. As the headquarters of a division-level combat unit, it has a complete staff.
As soon as Major General Walter Wesker finished speaking, an officer with the rank of colonel quickly said:
"I think it's unlikely. Since the rebels took over the area, Colombia has stepped up security on the border.
If they hide into Colombia through the waterway with great fanfare, they will definitely conflict with the Colombian border guards, but we have not received relevant notifications so far. "
Although Major General Walter Wesker agreed with the other party's statement, he still turned to a staff officer and said:
"Immediately contact the Colombian authorities and ask them if they have seen any traces of the rebels."
"Yes, General!"
A staff officer stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
Looking at the dense water network on the map, Major General Walter Wesker had a headache. It was impossible for him to disperse everyone to find traces of the enemy. This would give the enemy every opportunity to defeat them.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he slowly raised his head and said:
"Miles, have your people figure out how many ships they have in total."
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonel intelligence officer stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, General!"
Then Walter Wesker looked at a middle-aged colonel wearing gold glasses next to him and said:
"Chief of Staff, it seems that we need to find a way to get some air support. Please come forward and apply for a few air force reconnaissance planes to search the nearby river carefully.
It's hard to find people hiding in the jungle, but the boat can't be found!
As long as we confirm the direction in which the other party is escaping, we have a chance to find them out and eliminate them. "
This made the middle-aged colonel officer who was meditating on the side suddenly light up, yes! You can request air force reconnaissance support!
After taking a look at his division commander, I had to say that those who had participated in the European War had rich experience, and he immediately thought of conducting reconnaissance from the air.
"Yes, General!
I immediately applied to the Ministry of National Defense. I thought it was necessary for us to build an airstrip nearby to facilitate the takeoff and landing of reconnaissance aircraft. Otherwise, Air Force aircraft would not be able to stay for a long time. "
Major General Walter Wesker obviously recognized this matter very much. He glanced at a staff officer on the other side and said:
"Order a regiment to organize local people to immediately find a suitable place to build a field airport near the town of Manguari and set up a security guard. I only give him three days!"
The staff officer took the order:
"Yes! General!"
Then he turned and left.
As orders were issued one after another, the entire military camp quickly took action, and the second encirclement and suppression operation against the Eddie Brothers' anti-government forces officially began.
