Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 398 Ambush

Commander Miloš 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 commanders at all levels. The front seemed very quiet and did not encounter any resistance.

Just when everyone thought that the enemy had given up their position and evacuated, the roar of a heavy machine gun suddenly came to mind from the two-story building facing the corner of the street ahead.

It can be heard from the sound that this is an old-fashioned Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun. It is not a large-caliber heavy machine gun, but it is such a heavy machine gun. After occupying such a favorable position where the entire street can be clearly seen,

The combat effectiveness displayed is also very terrifying.

As rhythmic gunfire rang out, more than ten soldiers of the Second Battalion, who had been crouching and groping forward a moment ago, were instantly swept away. The soldiers behind them hurriedly 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 were currently firing only this heavy machine gun, and there were no other weapons to cooperate with each other to create a crossfire point. Otherwise, more than a dozen people would have fallen just now.

Regarding this emergency situation, the shortcomings of the Brazilian border guards who have not experienced actual combat were immediately exposed.

When the company commander saw that his company was suppressed, he did not seek fire support from the rear. Instead, he directly ordered the soldiers to form a death squad and attack the machine gun position under the cover of his own firepower.

However, this is obviously just filling it with the people, which cannot solve any problems at all.

But even so, this machine gun firepower caused more than 30 casualties to the government troops, which was equivalent to the direct loss of one-third of the combat effectiveness of the leading company.

The messenger heard this and took the order to leave.

After two squads suffered casualties, the second battalion commander at the rear finally discovered the problem, quickly called in a mortar, and fired three rounds of grenades at the machine gun fire point to completely smash the second floor downstairs.

sky.

After a while of observation, Captain Miloš Chuatoko's face turned livid. The enemy obviously wanted to eat them all directly, because now he and others were obviously surrounded by enemies.

Otherwise, you will have no choice but to run into the dense Amazon jungle.

The enemies who besieged the third battalion seemed to be frightened by the arrival of their reinforcements and retreated without a trace.

The soldiers of the first battalion were also looking for cover while desperately fighting back.

The chief of staff approached Commander Miloš Chuatoko and said:

"These rebels won't run away again, will they?"

"That's not right! If they really wanted to put us all in, why did they attack the first battalion station? This forced us to split up our troops to rescue the first battalion. They wanted to eat us in the town. Isn't that right?

Has it failed?"

Therefore, he said nothing more, just nodded with firm eyes, and said to Captain Miloš Chuatoko:

"I understand! We must guard the ship and ensure that the way back is clear. We will never leave until you come."

After all, the leader has put the retreat in his own hands. In such a situation where life is at stake, if he continues to push back, he will obviously be a little ignorant.

He believed that the other party would not dare to leave him and escape alone, so he turned to the chief of staff and said:

Originally, Commander Miloš Chuatoko did not agree with the Chief of Staff's opinion that the enemy had escaped. But when he heard the Chief of Staff's suggestion to send someone to the dock to have a look, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Of course, after the position blocking the advance of the government troops was destroyed, everyone walked out of the bunker one after another and began to search forward. After advancing more than 500 meters, the soldiers were finally able to see their besieged comrades from the third battalion.

.

When the soldiers heard this, their expressions were shocked, and they no longer hesitated and began to move forward. The soldiers of the commando team directly passed the position of the third battalion and searched further forward.

I wanted to ask about the situation at the scene but couldn't find the right person.

After finishing speaking, he turned to the messenger beside him and said:

"Ask the first battalion responsible for covering to send troops around to test the enemy's strength and see if they can find any traces of the enemy."

The second battalion commander led other soldiers of the second battalion to start searching for survivors. It is possible that too few survivors were found, and most of them were somewhat unconscious or had deafness in both ears.

This statement made Commander Miloš Chuatoko very satisfied, indicating that the chief of staff understood what he meant.

Captain Miloš Chuatoko's tone was affirmative, and his eyes were always fixed on the center of the town not far away, which was obviously destroyed by the big explosion. This was the location where the third battalion was struggling at the moment.

"The chief of staff is right. The enemy may indeed choose to attack our fleet. If the enemy really takes control of our fleet, our retreat will be completely cut off.

There were many corpses of border guards lying in the middle of the road.

"I feel that the people who harassed us should be the same group of people who attacked the first camp. Didn't some of them escape?

But now that 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 we don't even see the shadow of the enemy. How can this not make everyone fearful?

"I don't think so. This situation makes me feel very bad."

This situation has a huge impact on the morale of the entire army.

Raising his hand and pointing to the current location of the third battalion, Captain Miloš Chuatoko said in a gloomy tone:

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the soldiers made everyone's scalp numb, and many soldiers even vomited on the spot.

"Chief of Staff, to be honest, I don't feel very good. I asked you to go to the dock to leave a way for us to escape. Please be sure to hold the dock. If nothing can be done, we may have to lead the remaining troops to evacuate by water. You understand me.

What do you mean?"

At this time, the border guards were indeed in a tight situation. After all, the situation of the third battalion was unclear, and the first battalion was basically disabled. Although the second battalion had no losses, it also suffered a lot of casualties during the attack on Manguari Town.

Captain Miloš Chuatoko, who was holding a telescope, frowned even more when he heard this. Now he was a little confused as to what the enemy meant.

Of course, since he was worried about the rebels snatching their ship from the dock and escaping Manguari at this time, he must also be a little worried that if he only brought a platoon of soldiers to the dock, if he really encountered the main force of the rebels, he would directly die for his country.

.

Maybe they didn't expect that the rebels who went to contain the first battalion almost defeated the first battalion, forcing Bassam to lie about the military situation and claim that the main force of the rebels was the one who attacked them, so we had no choice but to divide our troops for rescue.

When the chief of staff saw this, he didn't say much. He just gave a silent military salute and turned to leave.

Surprisingly, they did not encounter any resistance.

He didn't think that the enemy would seize the ship and escape. On the contrary, he felt very bad now. He had a feeling that if something went wrong this time, he might be in trouble here. If something unpredictable really happened, he would

You must leave a way out.

However, now was obviously not the time to collect corpses for the Third Battalion, so he yelled at the soldiers around him:

"Why are you stopping here? Everyone continues to search and move forward to see if they can find any brothers who are still alive. The commando team continues to move forward. These damn rebels must not be allowed to run away like this."

The chief of staff had just arrived and had no tacit understanding with the regiment leader Miloš Chuatoko, so he was a little confused by the regiment commander's arrangement 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?"

"Do you think such a large explosion, which almost included the entire town, would be just for one of our battalions?

I feel like this was more prepared for our two battalions together.

Seeing this scene, Captain Miloš Chuatoko did not dare to be careless. He picked up the telescope and repeatedly observed the surrounding environment. He found that there was nothing abnormal, and then waved to the second battalion commander.

"No, this was originally the enemy's trap, but the prey contained in it was only the third battalion. If we hadn't taken the second battalion to rescue the first battalion, maybe all of us would have been trapped in it."

When the Chief of Staff heard this, he finally understood the plan of Commander Miloš Chuatoko. Although he was worried about encountering enemies on the dock, it was impossible for him to express his worries at this time.

The commander of the second battalion, who had been waiting for the order, nodded to indicate that he understood, waved his hands to his soldiers, and asked a platoon of soldiers to take the lead in picking up their weapons and warily searching for the location of the third battalion.

In the mind of the chief of staff, he did not quite believe that the rebels had escaped. After all, if you wanted to escape, you would either have to take a waterway and take a boat, or go through the land route they just attacked.

Either the enemy saw that the tactical objectives did not meet expectations and evacuated early, or the enemy had a bigger trap waiting for them.

This can be regarded as an unexpected attack and disrupted the rebels' plan."

After listening to his words, Captain Miloš Chuatoko frowned and didn't think much. He just turned the telescope and looked around. When he saw that there were no outsiders around him, he lowered his voice and said:

Captain Miloš Chuatoko immediately found a commanding height and looked through the telescope to the outside of the street.

But the current situation is indeed that the rebels are nowhere to be seen.

The chief of staff said with some surprise:

"Captain, do you suspect that this is a trap by the enemy?"

And this retreat now seems to be realized on the ships at the dock.

A platoon of soldiers from the second battalion's commando team entered the location of the third battalion without any danger. The streets here had been completely destroyed, and all the houses on both sides had collapsed.

Just as everyone was busy rescuing the wounded, loud gunfire suddenly rang out from the outside. Judging from the direction, it should be the first battalion responsible for covering the two wings that exchanged fire with the enemy.

If it is as expected by Captain Miloš Chuatoko, there must be a rebel force nearby that is enough to wipe out two of their battalions.

After thinking for a while, the chief of staff still hesitated and said to Commander Miloš Chuatoko:

"Captain, should we send someone to the pier to see if the enemy has gone directly to the pier this time, driven away all our ships and fled back to Bittenkot Town?"

The chief of staff who analyzed Yitong was also a little confused. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. He thought for a while before continuing:

"What about the harassment and mine blocking we encountered when we went to Manguari for reinforcements? Wasn't it aimed at us?"

But the chief of staff had a different opinion. He looked at his captain with confusion and said:

Maybe the mission they received was to block the 1st Battalion outside the town, or delay the 1st Battalion's actions. The mines were obviously not temporarily deployed this morning, but were probably also deployed to prevent the 1st Battalion from reinforcing Manguari."

There were obviously not many people who attacked the 1st Battalion's position. Their purpose was more likely to contain the 1st Battalion, otherwise they would have appeared in Manguari Town in time to support the main force that was surrounded.

After a period of analysis by Captain Miloš Chuatoko, the Chief of Staff couldn’t help but feel that it made some sense.

But the current situation is very complicated. All this is the speculation of Captain Miloš Chuatoko and can only be used as a reference.

But he felt that things didn't feel that way. At least, the current situation seemed that the rebels had the advantage. Logically speaking, the opponent should pursue the victory at this time.

Thinking of this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko no longer hesitated. Although he still did not trust the chief of staff in front of him, as the two highest officers of this unit, he could not leave the other party behind.

Escape alone.

Judging from the wounds, many people did not die from gunfire at all, but suffered explosion injuries without wounds. Obviously, this was caused by the shock wave of explosives.

But at this moment, the third battalion had obviously suffered heavy losses, and Captain Miloš Chuatoko could only see some sporadic resistance through the telescope.

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. There were no soldiers from the third battalion who could stand normally.

Let’s do this! Chief of Staff, I will arrange a platoon of soldiers for you. You are responsible for going to the dock to explore the situation there. You must not let the enemy snatch or damage our ships. What do you think? "

Therefore, the chief of staff was worried that if the main force of the rebels was really still in the town, his own troops would obviously not have an advantage. Every extra person would be a strength.

Seeing this, he patted the chief of staff on the shoulder and said with a pun:

"Then get rid of it."

On both sides of the street behind, countless figures were seen rushing out of low-rise houses, firing fiercely at the border guards who were searching and advancing in the street.

After saying that, he raised the telescope in his hand again and observed the situation ahead.

Hearing this, Captain Miloš Chuatoko shook his head and said uncertainly:

Before Captain Miloš Chuatoko could think more, the rebels' rear positions began to fire mortars at their position. Mortar shells were seen exploding in the crowd.

People kept falling down. It was obvious that the enemy had prepared for this situation and had marked this street.

The border guard's mortars also responded quickly and began to fire back at the enemy's artillery positions.

But Commander Miloš Chuatoko knew that even if the enemy's artillery was eliminated, it would be difficult to restore the current situation.
