MTL - Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat-Chapter 398 Encounter
Chapter 398 Encounter
Commander Milosh Chuatoko’s arrangement was helpless. After all, the troops he could mobilize were really limited.
As the order was issued, the soldiers began to attack the town of Manguari in batches under the command of the officers at all levels. The front has always been very quiet and did not encounter any resistance.
Just when everyone thought that the enemy had given up their position and evacuated, the two-story building facing the corner of the street ahead went downstairs, and suddenly remembered the roar of heavy machine guns.
It can be heard from the sound that this is an old-fashioned Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun. It is not a heavy machine gun with a large caliber, but it is such a heavy machine gun. After occupying such a favorable position where the entire street can be seen clearly, The combat power displayed is also very terrifying.
With the sound of rhythmic gunfire, the soldiers of the second battalion who were still groping forward just now were swept away by more than a dozen people, and the soldiers behind quickly hid behind the houses on both sides.
It can be said that the layout of this machine gun position is very tricky. If you want to go deeper from the main street, you will inevitably be exposed to the firepower of this machine gun.
Fortunately, the rebels are only firing at this heavy machine gun now, and there are no other weapons to cooperate with them to build a cross-fire point. Otherwise, more than a dozen people have just fallen.
For this sudden situation, the shortcomings of the Brazilian border guards who have not experienced actual combat were immediately exposed.
Seeing that his company was suppressed, the company commander did not seek fire support from the rear, but directly ordered the soldiers to form a death squad, and under the cover of his own firepower, stormed the machine gun position.
However, this is obviously just filling it with people, and it can't solve any problems at all.
After paying the casualties of two squads, the second battalion commander in the rear finally discovered the problem, and quickly dispatched a mortar, and fired three grenades at the firepower of the machine gun to completely smash the second floor down the stairs. sky.
Even so, this machine gun firepower caused more than 30 casualties to the government army, which is equivalent to the direct loss of one-third of the combat effectiveness of the leading company.
Of course, after the positions that blocked the advance of the government troops were destroyed, everyone stepped out of the bunkers and continued to search forward. After advancing more than 500 meters, the soldiers were finally able to see their comrades in the besieged third battalion up.
But the third battalion at this moment has obviously suffered heavy losses, and Commander Milosh Chuatoko can only see some sporadic resistance through the telescope.
The enemies who besieged the third battalion seemed to be scared by the arrival of their reinforcements and retreated without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Commander Milosh Chuatoko did not dare to be careless. He picked up the binoculars and observed the surrounding environment repeatedly. After finding nothing unusual, he waved at the second battalion commander.
The commander of the second battalion, who had been waiting for the order, nodded his head to show his understanding, and waved his hands to the soldiers under him. About one platoon of soldiers raised their weapons and vigilantly searched for the location of the third battalion.
Surprisingly, they did not encounter any resistance.
The chief of staff approached Captain Milosh Chuatoko and said:
"These rebels won't run away again?"
Captain Milosh Chuatoko, who was holding a telescope, frowned even more when he heard the words, and now he was a little confused about what the enemy meant.
But he felt that things didn't feel that way. At least, according to the current situation, the rebels had the upper hand. Logically speaking, at this time, the opponent should take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
"I don't think it should be, and this situation feels very bad to me now."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the orderly soldier beside him:
"Let the first battalion in charge of cover send troops around to test the enemy's reality and see if they can find traces of the enemy."
The messenger heard the words and took the order to leave.
The chief of staff said in surprise:
"Commander, are you suspicious that this is an enemy trap?"
"No, this was originally an enemy trap, but the prey that was put in was the third battalion. If we hadn't brought the second battalion to rescue the first battalion, maybe all of us had been put in."
Milosh Chuatoko's tone was affirmative, and his eyes were fixed on the messy town center that was obviously destroyed by the big bang not far away. That is the position where Sanying is struggling at the moment.
But the chief of staff has a different opinion, looking at his head with doubts and saying:
"That's not right either! If they really wanted to put us all in, why would they attack the First Battalion? This forced us to divide our forces to rescue the First Battalion. Their plan to eat us in the town is not right. Is it lost?"
Raising his finger to point to the current location of the third battalion, Commander Milosh Chuatoko said in a gloomy tone:
"Do you think that such a large explosion, which almost included the entire town, would be just for one of our battalions?
I feel like this is more for our two battalions together.
Obviously, there were not many people who attacked the first battalion. Their purpose was more likely to contain the first battalion. Otherwise, they would appear in Manguari Town in time to support the main force trapped in the encirclement.
Maybe they didn't expect that the rebels who were going to contain the first battalion almost defeated the first battalion directly, forcing Bassam to lie about the military situation, claiming that the main force of the rebels was the one who attacked them, so we had to divide our troops to rescue them.
This can be regarded as a crooked attack, disrupting the plan of the rebels. "
The Chief of Staff was also a little bit confused when he analyzed it. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. After thinking for a while, he continued:
"What about the harassment and landmines we encountered when we went to Manguari for reinforcements? Isn't it aimed at us?"
Milosh Chuatoko heard the words, shook his head, and said uncertainly:
"I feel that the people who harassed us should be the group who attacked the first camp. Didn't some of them escape?
Maybe they received the mission to stop the 1st Battalion outside the town, or delay the 1st Battalion's actions. The landmines were obviously not arranged temporarily this morning, and they should have been arranged to prevent the first battalion from reinforcing Manguari. "
After a while of analysis by Commander Milosh Chuatoko, the chief of staff could not help but feel that it made sense,
But the current situation is very complicated, all of this is the guess of the head of Milosh Chuatoko, and it can only be used as a reference.
If it is as predicted by Commander Milosh Chuatoko, there must be a rebel force nearby that is enough to wipe out their two battalions.
But the current situation is indeed true, and there are no rebels at all.
Either the enemy evacuated ahead of time when they saw that the tactical target did not meet expectations, or the enemy had a bigger trap waiting for them.
In the mind of the chief of staff, he didn't quite believe that the rebels had escaped. After all, if they wanted to escape, they had to either take a boat by water, or use the land they attacked just now.
Otherwise, you can only run into the dense Amazon jungle.
But now the enemy clearly has the upper hand. Will the enemy hide in the Amazon jungle at this time? In the opinion of the Chief of Staff, this is impossible.
But now they don't even see the enemy's shadow, how can this not make everyone feel anxious?
After thinking for a while, the chief of staff still hesitated and said to Commander Milosh Chuatoko:
"Regimental Commander, should we send someone to the pier to see if the enemy has gone directly to the pier again this time and drove all our boats away and fled back to Bittencourt Town?"
Originally, Commander Milosh Chuatoko did not agree with the Chief of Staff's opinion that the enemy had fled. But when the chief of staff suggested sending someone to the pier to take a look, my heart couldn't help but move.
He didn't think that the enemy would **** the ship and escape. On the contrary, he felt very bad now. He had a premonition that if he didn't do well this time, he might have a big fall here. If something unpredictable happened, he It is necessary to stay behind.
And this back road, now it seems that it will be realized on the ship on the dock.
Thinking of this, Commander Milosh Chuatoko no longer hesitates. Although he still doesn't trust the chief of staff in front of him, as the two highest officers of this army, he can't leave the other party behind. Run away alone.
He believed that the other party would not dare to abandon him and run away alone, so he turned to the chief of staff and said:
"The chief of staff is right, the enemy may indeed choose to attack our fleet, if the enemy really controls our fleet, our retreat will be completely cut off.
How about this! Chief of Staff, I will arrange a platoon of soldiers for you. You are in charge of going to the pier to investigate the situation there. We must not let the enemy **** or damage our ships. How do you see it? "
The chief of staff has just arrived, and there is no tacit understanding with the head of Milosh Chuatoko, so he is a little puzzled by the arrangement of the head of the group, and said with a little hesitation:
"Ah! But there is a shortage of manpower here. Isn't it inappropriate to divide the troops at this time!"
At this time, the border guards were indeed tense. After all, the situation of the third battalion was unknown, and the first battalion was basically disabled. Although the second battalion did not suffer any losses, it also suffered a lot of casualties during the attack on Manguari Town.
So, the chief of staff was worried that if the main force of the rebel army was really still in the town, the troops on his side would obviously not be dominant, and one more person would be a strength.
Of course, since he was worried that the rebels would **** their ships from the pier and escape from Manguali at this time, he must also be a little worried that he would only take one platoon of soldiers to the pier. If he really met the main force of the rebels, would he die for the country .
Hearing what he said, Commander Milosh Chuatoko frowned and didn't think much about it. He just turned to the telescope and looked around. Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, he lowered his voice and said:
"Chief of Staff, to be honest, I don't feel very good. I asked you to go to the pier to give us a way out. Please be sure to hold the pier. If nothing can be done, we may have to lead the remnants to evacuate by water. You understand me mean?"
Hearing this, the chief of staff understood the plan of Commander Milosh Chuatoko. Although he was worried that he would encounter enemies on the pier, it was impossible for him to express his worries at this time.
After all, the head of the group is tantamount to handing over the escape route to himself. In such a situation of life-threatening delays, if he pushes back and forth again, he will obviously be a little ignorant.
Therefore, he didn't say anything more, but nodded with firm eyes, and said to Captain Milosh Chuatoko:
"I understand! We must guard the ship and ensure that the back road is smooth. If you don't come, we will never leave."
This statement satisfied Commander Milosh Chuatoko, indicating that the chief of staff had already understood what he meant.
Seeing this, he patted the chief of staff on the shoulder, and said with a pun:
"Then get rid of it."
After finishing speaking, he raised the telescope in his hand again to observe the situation ahead.
Seeing this, the chief of staff didn't say much, but silently paid a military salute, then turned and left.
A platoon of soldiers from the commando team of the second battalion entered the location of the third battalion without any risk. The streets here have been completely destroyed, and the houses on both sides have also collapsed.
In the middle of the road, there are many corpses of border guards lying in disorder.
Judging from the wounds, many people were not killed by gunshots at all, but were injured by explosions without wounds. Obviously, this was caused by the shock wave of explosives.
In the eyes of the soldiers, this kind of scene made everyone's scalp tingle, and many soldiers even vomited out on the spot.
Soon, the commander of the second battalion also bent over and touched it carefully. As soon as he saw the situation on the battlefield, he knew that the third battalion was finished, and he couldn't see any soldiers of the third battalion who could stand normally.
This situation has a huge blow to the morale of the entire army.
However, now is obviously not the time for Sanying corpses, so he yelled at the soldiers around him:
"What are you doing here? Everyone continues to search to see if they can find any brothers who are still alive. The commandos continue to move forward. These damned rebels must not let them run away like this."
The soldiers were all shocked when they heard the words, and they stopped hesitating and started to move forward. The soldiers of the commando directly crossed the position of the third battalion and searched further forward.
The commander of the second battalion led the other soldiers of the second battalion to start searching for survivors. There were too few survivors, and most of them were unconscious or deaf.
Wanted to inquire about some on-site conditions but failed to find the right person.
Just as everyone was busy rescuing the wounded, there was a sudden explosion of gunfire from the periphery. Judging from the direction, it should be that the first battalion in charge of covering the two wings exchanged fire with the enemy.
Milosh Chuatoko found a commanding height for the first time, and looked through the telescope to the periphery of the street.
I saw countless figures rushing out of the low houses on both sides of the street behind, firing fiercely at the frontier guards who were searching and advancing in the street.
The soldiers of the first battalion were also desperately fighting back while looking for cover.
After observing for a while, Commander Milosh Chuatoko's face turned ashen. The enemy obviously wanted to eat them all directly, because now he and the others were obviously surrounded by the enemy.
Before Commander Milosh Chuatoko thought about it, the rebels started firing mortars at their position in the rear. Saw mortar shells constantly exploding among the crowd.
People kept falling down. This situation is obviously because the enemy has already prepared and marked this street.
The mortars of the border guards also responded quickly and began to fight back against the enemy's artillery positions.
But Commander Milosh Chuatoko knows that even if the enemy's artillery is eliminated, it will be difficult to restore the current situation.
