Chapter 399 Rout

After Captain Miloš Chuatoko observed carefully for a while, without too much hesitation, he directly ordered the second battalion in the middle to start shrinking the front, and then ordered the first battalion on the outside that had been mixed with the enemy to withstand the enemy's attack with all their strength.

attack.

The purpose is very clear, to preserve the still-strength Second Battalion and let the First Battalion take over the cover.

But the first battalion was already at its weakest point. After a long period of fighting, it was unable to obtain a large supply of weapons and ammunition, and it was always in a passive position of being beaten in the battle with the rebels.

Now being assigned to cover the second battalion, naturally it cannot exert much combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it soon reached the brink of collapse. This situation greatly exceeded the expectations of Captain Miloš Chuatoko.

The commander of the second battalion stood at the head of the regiment, Miloš Chuatoko, and said anxiously to him:

"Captain, please withdraw with us!"

Captain Miloš Chuatoko glared at the second battalion commander, feeling very dissatisfied. In this situation, he began to think about escaping, but he also understood that it was useless to blame the other person, so he pondered for a while.

Later:

"You arrange a company of troops to support the retreat of the first battalion, and the rest attack towards the dock. Make sure that the entire army's retreat route is clear."

The second battalion commander nodded quickly and saluted Captain Miloš Chuatoko:

"Yes, Captain, then you can follow me and retreat first!"

At this moment, Commander Miloš Chuatoko was in a very complicated mood. He was the commander of the Border Guard Corps and had a bright future. This time he came to annihilate the Eddie brothers’ rebels with the purpose of showing off his talents. He wanted to let

You can have the opportunity to go further.

But in this situation, it is no longer a question of whether we can go further. Whether we can save our lives depends on whether the retreat can be successful.

The medical soldier took bandages and chased after several people.

"Boss, now that the enemy is surrounded by us, how can we let them leave?"

Looking at the confident face of Bartlett Crowe, Brissot Eddie, who was originally highly vigilant, felt a little relieved, and continued with a slightly restrained smile:

"Bartley, you have to understand that the government army has a lot of troops. The casualties of a regiment are not important to the government army at all. They can send more regiment-level troops at any time to encircle and suppress us.

One rainy season is enough time for our strength to be rapidly improved. Soon our army will have an armed force of more than 1,800 people.

"Sir, we will accompany you to show these rebels our strength."

When Brissot Eddie saw this scene, a trace of dissatisfaction and vigilance flashed in his eyes, but his face was really calm, as if he had not noticed the behavior of the orderer.

Brisso Eddy, who was in charge of commanding the rebels, also understood that if he wanted to rely on his own strength to keep the entire border guard behind, it would obviously be an impossible task.

"Boss, I understand what you mean. You are right. I listen to you."

Everything he does now is to maintain his sense of honor as a group leader and to fulfill his due responsibilities.

The messenger on the side heard Bartlett Crowe's objection and did not leave directly to convey the order to the frontline troops.

So he quickly opened his mouth to admonish.

Instead, he said to Bartlett Clowe with a smile:

After hearing this, Brissot Eddie nodded with a smile on his face, and asked the eager-looking Bartlett Crowe:

"Then do you know how many soldiers the enemy still has left to fight?"

Therefore, after receiving the battle report from the front and knowing that the enemy was beginning to break out towards the dock, he hesitated again and again and decided to open the gap and let the government troops escape.

This data was obviously beyond the control of Bartlett Crowe. He hesitated and said:

"I don't know, but there should be five to six hundred people!"

If government troops attack again, how can we resist?

"I understand what you mean, but I am really unwilling to let these government troops leave!"

"We are now unable to make a comeback. You are the backbone of our army. As long as you are still there, there is still hope for our army to rebuild.

Captain Miloš Chuatoko, who was wounded in the head, could not care about the situation on the battlefield at this moment.

Does it depend on those new recruits that have just been recruited?"

Regarding the statements of his officers, Captain Miloš Chuatoko thought about it for a moment and then slowly shook his head. He knew very well that now the army had no hope of making a comeback.

Of course, Bartlett Crowe knew these data very well and reported almost out of his mouth:

"Haha. I can understand your mood. To be honest, I really want to eat this enemy army directly, but now our strength is not enough, and we need to slowly accumulate strength.

"You retreat first. I will stay here to lead the brothers to stop the enemy's pursuit. If things don't work out, I will come over and chase you."

In this regard, Miloš Chuatoko himself did not say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence to the officers' behavior of retreating directly with him.

The flying stones and shrapnel killed two officers on the spot, and regiment commander Miloš Chuatoko was also hit on the head by a flying stone, causing his head to bleed immediately.

After hearing his words, the officers under his command also understood his attitude and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, for them, the defeat was not their responsibility, but if they left their officers and fled for their lives, they would have to go to the Military Law Office.

Gone.

"Don't worry, boss. With the combat power of these government troops, we will have at most 300 casualties, and we will definitely be able to keep all the enemies behind."

If Commander Miloš Chuatoko died here, they would be in trouble.

This was something he couldn't accept under any circumstances. If he failed to destroy the enemy with his own strength, he would be judged as having poor abilities at most. But if his troops were annihilated because of his first evacuation, he might be shot when he returned.

Although Brazil is not a European country, it is still an independent country from European colonies, so its values ​​are still close to those of Western countries.

"Quickly stop the bleeding of the regiment leader. Let's retreat first and then check the regiment leader when we get to the ship."

The commander of the second battalion commanded the soldiers of the second battalion to start attacking towards the dock. Now everyone knew that they were about to start running for their lives, and everyone unleashed an unprecedented fighting force.

Upon hearing this, Brissot Eddie stepped forward and patted the other party on the shoulder and said:

"Our strength is not enough now. As long as we can take advantage of the rainy season to train these newly recruited soldiers, we will also recruit some people from Bittenkot Town.

Deep down in his heart, of course, he really wanted to evacuate directly. Now it has obviously turned into a big rout. If he evacuates first, the decline of the entire army will never be reversed.

Although it did not fall directly into the crowd, it also blew down one wall of the two-story building.

Brissot Eddie continued to ask with a smile:

"Then how many casualties are you prepared to pay to completely eliminate the enemy here?"

Of course, the changes here could not be hidden from the soldiers on the periphery. The headquarters was hit by mortars, which made everyone panic. The soldiers who were already in a state of collapse became even more panicked.

Hold yourself responsible for the defeat, but at least you don't have to risk your life.

"How many veterans are there?"

Now he knows very well that his military career is basically over, but at least he won't be shot!

Therefore, he could only pretend to be calm and said to the Second Battalion Commander:

Brissot Eddie continued to ask unhurriedly.

The rebels who had just gathered were unable to resist, and a gap was quickly breached by government troops.

But we only have more than 800 veterans. Now the government troops have brought over the battalion outside the town. It is obvious that the two companies responsible for attacking this battalion are in danger.

After hearing Brissot Eddie's analysis, Bartlett Clowe finally gave up his urge to annihilate the government forces, nodded to Brissot Eddie and said:

Then he took out a piece of gauze and pressed it directly on his forehead.

He dared not even think about relying on the current Second Battalion to complete a comeback against the wind, and he knew very well that this was an impossible task.

Brissot Eddie saw everything, but he said nothing, as if he didn't notice at all, and smiled at Bartlett Crowe:

Therefore, Captain Miloš Chuatoko never thought about fighting to the end or dying for his country.

In fact, there are very few officers like Commander Miloš Chuatoko in Europe. According to European values, officers are the most important asset of an army.

I suggest you lead us to the dock together and direct the subsequent evacuation operations!"

When the messenger on the side heard that Bartlett Crow had expressed his stance, he stopped staying and turned around to leave to convey the order.

After hearing this, Bartlett Crow finally reacted. After thinking about it, he nodded to Brissot Eddie and said:

The two officers did not wait for the medic to put on the bandage. One of them directly put his hand on the gauze and began to drag Miloš Chuatoko out.

Just when he was hesitating to weigh the pros and cons, the rebels didn't know whether they had discovered the location of their headquarters through intelligence, and three consecutive mortars directly hit their location.

Our strength will be restored quickly. It will not be that easy for the government to encircle and suppress us again."

Several people even expressed their opinions on the spot:

When the surrounding officers saw this situation, they suddenly panicked and shouted:

It was common for him to come out to lead troops again. Now it was mainly the sense of honor in Captain Miloš Chuatoko's heart that prevented him from abandoning his soldiers and escaping for his own life.

The rebels obviously also discovered that this situation was beneficial to them, and therefore began a more ferocious attack, which made the government army's defeat even faster.

"How many soldiers do we have now in Bartlett?"

Seeing the attitude of the other officers, the second battalion commander also understood that if he really left Commander Miloš Chuatoko and left first, he might be despised by the officers.

The two officers yelled at the medical soldiers:

Even he felt a little ashamed of the idea of ​​​​retreating directly just now.

When Bartlett Crowe heard this order, he looked at Brissot Eddie in disbelief and said:

We have already lost more than 200 people here. If we add another 300 people here, we will only have more than 300 veterans left.

Moreover, as long as we can drive this government army out of Manguari and Bittenkot, we will be equivalent to occupying the nearby five hundred kilometers.

"Captain, the current situation is critical. We still need you to take charge of the overall situation. Please stay in the safest place. Since the evacuation plan has been determined, you can't change anything even if you stay here.

The words of the second battalion commander made Miloš Chuatoko, who was not particularly determined in the first place, a little shaken. He was obviously not willing to lose his life in this remote town for a group of rebels.

It would not be a strange thing if Captain Miloš Chuatoko evacuated himself first. The worst he could do was to be punished when he returned, as long as he was willing to spend some money and bribe his superiors.

After being helped downstairs by two officers, a medical soldier quickly ran over and saw that his regimental commander looked horrified with blood on his face. He was also startled and wanted to go forward and check carefully.

The third battalion had been annihilated by the rebels, and the first battalion had been crippled by the enemy. Now after the enemy's sudden attack, he didn't know if anyone could escape in the end.

Seeing this scene, Captain Miloš Chuatoko felt relieved. It seemed that the soldiers under his command were still a group of warriors with a very sense of honor.

So he spoke directly:

The only second battalion that can still be considered complete is his last strength.

Therefore, you don’t need to stay here with me, and I won’t stay here to defend myself. I will naturally follow you back after the troops complete their evacuation.”

A small building with a collapsed wall was already crumbling. The officers were frightened by the close explosion and panicked. They followed Miloš Chuatoko out of the temporary headquarters.

"Medic, medic, come here quickly, the regiment leader is injured."

This turned the orderly retreat plan planned by Commander Miloš Chuatoko directly into a major rout.

"Eight hundred and fifty veterans."

The medical soldier was stunned and without any time to think, he took out the medical bag and poured a bag of styptic powder directly on Miloš Chuatoko's head.

The second battalion commander even ordered the two officers without hesitation:

"Hurry, the leader is injured. You two are responsible for protecting the leader and evacuating."

Bartlett Crowe obviously didn't notice the change in Dobrisso Eddie's eyes, and Hao said without hesitation:

"Including the newly recruited people, the total number is 1,200."

After hearing the words of their regimental commander, many of the officers around them began to look ashamed.

After saying that, he winked at the two officers. They were both smart people. After looking at each other, they directly crossed Miloš Chuatoko's arms and started to get off the ground without waiting for the medical soldiers to arrive.

building.

For him, although losing the war was very humiliating, it was not something that he could not accept. The worst he could do was to be tried by a military court after he returned.

Bartlett Crowe quickly understood what Brissot Eddie meant, and he confidently said to Brissot Eddie:

Regarding the attitude towards war, although surrender or defeat is very embarrassing, it is not unacceptable.

I believe it won’t be too long before we directly eat a regiment of government troops.”

When Bartlet Crowe heard this, he looked at Brissot Eddie with admiration and said:

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be a military genius. Not only did you lead us out of the heavy siege of Rio de Janeiro, but you also led us to repel the attack of the government troops.

I think the Brazilian government will definitely regret what they did to the Eddy family."
