Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 396 Night Attack

   When it became clear that his brother was indeed going to make a fuss about this matter, Raymond Eddie didn't hesitate any longer, and nodded excitedly:

   "Okay, bro, I'm going to find them now."

  Raymond Eddie thought that his brother wanted to make an example of others, so he caught that soldier and slaughtered him, and vented his anger on himself. Of course he was very happy.

   But in fact, Brisso Eddie was not going to do this. His plan was to silence the mother and child after getting the confession, and then put the confession in front of Bartley Kloe.

   And told him that he had already dealt with the matter, and asked him to restrain his subordinates in the future, and not to beat the other party with such violations of military discipline.

  It is not only to strengthen your majesty, but also to show favor to the other party, tell the other party, did you see it, but for your sake, I let go of such violations of military discipline.

  Of course, this is called giving both kindness and strength in Chinese culture.

   Raymond Eddie was still confused and thought that he could really vent his anger this time.

   But what made him even more unexpected was that when he hurriedly led a few people to find the house just now, he found that the house was burning to ruins.

  The surrounding local residents are organizing fire fighting. After questioning, everyone said that the mother and son had been buried in the sea of ​​fire, but no one knew the cause of the fire.

   At this moment, Raymond Eddie understood what was going on no matter how stupid he was.

  Looking at the burned houses, Raymond Eddie clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, wishing he could swallow the two soldiers alive. But he also understands that there is no proof now, and it is impossible to find trouble with the other party.

  He kicked a few times at the house on one side bitterly, and he had no choice but to lead the team back to the camp.

  The old soldier Youzi, who was watching this scene from a distance, showed a sneer with disdain, and the other soldier on the side let out a long breath.

   After Brisso Eddie received the news, he also consciously acted as if nothing had happened, but stepped up the efficiency of recruiting troops in Manguali.

   After a day's rest, the border guards in Bittenkot finally sent scouts to Manguari.

  As the two small towns closest to the border, in addition to waterway transportation, there is still a muddy path between the small towns.

  However, during the rainy season, this path becomes very difficult to walk and is often flooded.

   From Manguari to other parts of Brazil, it is mostly by water, which is why the border guards put the logistics base in Manguari.

   It was already two days later when the scouts received information from Manguari.

"Commander, these rebels are currently recruiting troops in Manguali. It seems that they will leave sooner or later. I think it is better to eliminate them sooner rather than later. Otherwise, we may need to eliminate them after their recruits complete their training. Pay a higher price."

  After receiving the intelligence from Manguari, the Chief of Staff made his own proposals to Commander Milosh Chuatoko.

   Several battalion commanders under him also asked for a fight.

Commander Milosh Chuatoko had already received a telegram from the Ministry of Defense, urging him to end the battle within a week. This made him, who wanted to stabilize himself, have to overturn his original plan and start preparing Attack on Manguari.

   He was a little surprised to receive the information that the rebels were still in Manguali. He didn't expect that the other party didn't flee as he expected this time, and left the mess in Manguali to himself.

   He was very satisfied with the attitude of several of his subordinates asking for battle one after another. After all, everyone knew that Manguali was their logistics base and retreat.

   He was very pleased when he learned that everyone was able to quickly adjust their mentality and actively prepare to take back Manguali when the back road was cut off.

   "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's pack up our equipment and take back Manguali.

  Chief of Staff, since the enemy still dares to stay in the town, we can no longer let them run away. Therefore, I plan to advance from land and water, encircle Manguali, block the enemy in Manguali, and fight the opponent.

  Strive to wipe them out in the town of Manguari. "

  Hearing that the group leader also agreed to launch an attack on Manguari Town, everyone began to cheer up, and finally no longer had to be stuck in this border town.

   Immediately afterwards, Milosh Chuatoko started the division of labor, because they took the water route from Manguari to Bitenkot Town, so they had a lot of ships on hand.

   It was enough to transport everyone directly to Manguali, but it was precisely because they entered the vicinity of Bittenkot town by water that the rebels had an opportunity to jump out of Bittenkot directly.

  So this time, Commander Milosh Chuatoko learned his lesson and decided to advance both land and water, and divide his troops into two groups to surround Manguari.

  Time passed quickly. In the jungle less than five kilometers away from the town of Manguari, the First Battalion of the Frontier Guards had already finished setting up camp. After a whole day of trekking, I finally got close to this small town.

  Just wait until tomorrow morning, when the time for the general attack arrives, then we can attack Manguari by land.

  Everyone is very tired, because marching in the jungle is not an easy task, let alone a fully armed march on foot.

   This made Bassam regret it halfway through the journey. If he had known that the road was so difficult, he shouldn't have volunteered to challenge the regiment leader and take the initiative to claim the mission of attacking from land.

   "Commander, your tent has been set up, it's been a hard day, you should go to bed early!"

  The adjutant came to Bassam's side and courted him courteously.

  Looking at the darkened sky, the timid Bassam asked worriedly:

   "Have all the guard posts been dispatched? Our place is not far from Manguali. Be careful of the enemy attacking the camp."

   "Please rest assured, sir, our guard post has sneaked into the outskirts of Manguari Town and joined the scouts from the regiment headquarters.

  What we see now is that the rebels have not found any abnormalities. The town of Manguari is still singing and dancing, and we can surely take it down when our army makes a surprise attack tomorrow. "

  The adjutant assured Bassam with a relaxed face.

   These words can be regarded as reassuring for Bassam who participated in the actual combat for the first time. It was the first time that he spent a whole night in fear outside the town of Bittenkot, but nothing happened.

  Bassam was no longer nervous.

  However, he still cautiously explained to the adjutant:

   "Don't slacken the patrol at night, arrange the schedule well, and don't relax your vigilance just because the enemy didn't find us, understand?"

  The adjutant quickly stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes, sir!"

  Bassam waved his hand upon seeing this, indicating that the other party could leave.

  After the other party left, Bassam, who was already tired enough, lay down on the camp bed, yawning, and soon fell asleep.

   As for, he would not go to inspect the side camps himself, or arrange tasks such as light and dark posts, obviously he would not do it.

  Time passed by little by little, except for the occasional sounds of patrolling soldiers passing by, the entire camp was almost only the sound of insects and animals that came out to look for food at night.

   Gradually, after midnight, even the sounds of insects and animals gradually disappeared.

  In the entire camp, there was no movement except for the crackling of the burning wood in the campfire from time to time. And all this did not arouse the vigilance of the patrolling soldiers.

  Until a gunshot of "Crack!" broke the tranquility of the night,

   Bassam, who was sleeping, was terrified by the sudden gunshot, jumped up from the bed, and shouted in panic:

   "Where to shoot?"

  But he didn't wait for the soldiers' answers. Instead, the gunshots rang out quickly, enveloping the entire camp. Even people who were slow to react could understand that this was an attack.

   Bassam stumbled out of the camp before he had time to think about it, and found that the entire camp was in a mess, with soldiers running around everywhere, but the assailant could not be seen.

  As the chief officer of the army, although his legs were trembling with fright, he also understood at this time that panic cannot solve the problem, so he took his pistol and fired into the sky.

   shouted loudly:

   "What are you panicking about? You made a mess without even seeing the enemy. Order the commanders and order the company commanders to organize their teams and establish a line of defense."

   It can only be said that Bassam, as the battalion commander, is a sycophant, but he is not stupid. He did not spot the enemy in the first place, so he responded as an officer should.

  With the commander's order, the soldiers soon had a backbone, and they began to move closer to their commander and prepare to establish a line of defense.

   But at this time, there were loud shouts in the dark jungle, and the gunfire became more intense.

   From time to time, rebels rushed out of the darkness and rushed into the government camp. The government soldiers who could only shoot blindly at the dark jungle finally saw the enemy, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

   After all, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying.

  Actually, the attack on the camp by the rebels was not smooth. After all, in this era, night combat is a combat skill that can only be mastered by a small number of elite troops.

  The rebels who were originally only responsible for transporting DP obviously did not receive these trainings. Attacking the enemy from the dense primeval jungle in the dark night is not something that can be accomplished by simply pulling out a single army.

  So, this night battle, whether it is the offensive side or the defensive side, is obviously full of loopholes.

  When the rebels fired the first shot, many people still hadn’t reached the intended attack position. This made the entire offensive rhythm out of line, and gave the government forces in the camp time to react.

  The combination of various circumstances turned this premeditated night attack by the anti-government forces into a melee.

  But as the offensive side, the anti-government army has the psychological advantage of taking the initiative to attack, and Bassam on the defensive side only thinks about passive defense from beginning to end.

  So, during the entire melee, the anti-government forces actually had the absolute initiative.

  In the dark jungle, the two sides fought back and forth for nearly two hours, and finally the rebel army broke into the government camp before dawn.

   "Sir, what should we do now, the front can no longer be defended."

  The adjutant walked in front of Bassam anxiously, and said in fear.

   "Didn't it be fine just now? Why can't you keep it all of a sudden?"

  Bassam trembled all over when he heard your adjutant say that he couldn't hold on. He was already timid and flustered.

  "Just now the rebels concentrated their forces and threw a large number of grenades on the position of the first company. Now the defense line of the first company has been broken through, and the commander of the first company was seriously injured.

  Now the rebels have broken through the defense line of the company and are coming here. "

  What the adjutant said made Bassam tremble with fright, and he wanted to turn around and run away like a conditioned reflex.

   At this moment, an orderly rushed to Bassam with a telegram, and he stood at attention and saluted:

   "Sir, the regiment headquarters called and ordered our troops to stick to the camp and firmly attract the rebels who attacked our troops here. Create an opportunity for the main force of the regiment to attack Manguari Town.

   If there is any violation of military law to engage in! "

  Bassam glanced at his adjutant with a pale face when he heard this. The telegram came at an inopportune time.

   If he was two minutes late, he would have already fled with his troops.

  But now that the order from the regiment headquarters has come down, if you run again, you might lose your head.

   Glancing at the orderly, Bassam gritted his teeth and said:

  " Power again, ask for help from the regiment headquarters, and tell them that our camp has been breached by the enemy, and the number of enemies attacking our department is expected to reach 1,000, so they must be the main force of the enemy.

  It is suggested that the regiment headquarters abandon the town of Manguari and move closer to our department to encircle the main force of the enemy. "

  The messenger heard the news, wrote the order on the telegram, and confirmed it to Bassam again. After Bassam confirmed it, he stood at attention and saluted, and ran back to the telegraph room.

   This is because they are acting alone, so the regiment headquarters equipped them with a set of radio stations.

  As for the walkie-talkies that have long been available in this era, border guards like them haven't come to equip them urgently.

  The adjutant heard this, and asked with some concern:

   "Sir, our position has been breached by the enemy, and now it's too late for the main force of the regiment to move closer to us!"

  Bassam kicked the opponent angrily when he heard the words, and said dissatisfiedly:

   "Knowing that the position has been breached, why are you still sticking around here! Why don't you organize a counterattack and take back the position!"

  The adjutant obviously didn't expect that Bassam would be so stubborn today, and he was going to organize a counterattack. This is not the same person as the battalion commander in his impression!

  How did he know that Bassam was thinking at this time, knowing that the main force of the regiment headquarters had reached the outskirts of Manguali, and could launch an attack at any time to wipe out the enemy.

  If I ran away at this time, wouldn't it be as stupid as surrendering to the enemy when I won? His ingenuity will not allow him to make such a mistake.

  As for, he exaggerated to the regiment headquarters saying that there are more than a thousand enemies here, who are the main force of the rebel army, of course to attract the main force of the regiment headquarters to rescue him.

   Now, he doesn't know exactly how many enemies are besieging him, because the enemies are all in the jungle, and it is difficult to make an accurate judgment in the dark jungle.

  Unbeknownst to him, it was only two rebel companies that actually attacked his camp.

   And the person in charge of the command is the old soldier who burned the woman's house in Manguali.

  Why did this veteran soldier be in charge of commanding the night attack? This is actually just a means for Brisso Eddie to weaken Batlle Crowe's influence in the rebel army.

  After hearing Bassam's order, the adjutant didn't dare to resist. He could only put away his thoughts about fleeing for his life, and saluted Bassam:

"Yes, sir!"

   Then he called up the battalion staff and killed the rebels who had already broken into the camp.

   I just said that there were actually only two companies attacking the camp. After two hours of fighting, there were not many people who could still charge.

  So, against the manpower led by the adjutant, they were evenly matched.

   Soon the war fell into a stalemate again.
