Chapter 389: Occupying Bittenkot(1/2)
Captain Miloš Chuatoko was very satisfied with the other party’s attitude. He smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder and said with satisfaction
"Very good! Then you will fire the first shot tomorrow."
After speaking, he raised the telescope in his hand again and looked in the direction of the town. He saw that some houses in the town had begun to light candles, but he did not see the opponent's army.
I was a little confused. After all, I led more than a thousand troops to camp less than five miles away from the opponent's town. The opponent shouldn't be so quiet.
According to what I learned in the military academy, we should send scouts to each other to figure out each other's arrangements.
Even if the other party has no experience in the military and does not know how to organize troops, the guy named Raymond Eddy is a policeman, so there should not be any movement at all.
The scouts he sent out have not yet received any information, which makes him feel a little strange. Because the town seems too quiet.
At this moment, his adjutant quickly stepped forward to his side, stood at attention and saluted Captain Miloš Chuatoko
"Sir, the scout reported that the enemy's military camp was discovered.
However, no soldiers from the other side were found, and the military camp is empty?"
Captain Miloš Chuatoko was stunned when he heard this, a little confused, and said with a confused face
"What do you mean? The other party is not in the military camp? Are there any traces of the enemy found elsewhere?"
The adjutant stood at attention again and saluted
"Sir, the five reconnaissance teams we sent have found no trace of the enemy."
At this time, Captain Miloš Chuatoko frowned. He raised the telescope in his hand again with a puzzled expression and looked at the small town in the distance.
There was a beep in my heart. This Eddie brother clearly used power to occupy the town of Bittencourt and set up anti-Japanese armed forces. When he led the army over, the other party only left an empty military camp. What does this mean?<
/p>
Bassam, the commander of the first battalion, who was still a little troubled by the fact that he only got a test mission in exchange for asking for a battle, felt relieved when he heard this. It seems that this test mission does not need to be carried out.
Because the opposite side is basically an empty town, so what else is there to explore?
But soon he felt a chill on his spine, and he quickly said
"Captain, aren't these bastards already lurking nearby and preparing to ambush us?"
As he said that, he looked around with vigilant eyes. As the sun gradually set, the jungle became a little dark. It felt like there was a group of ferocious beasts hidden in the jungle at this moment, and they would rush out at any time to choose people to eat.<
/p>
After Captain Miloš Chuatoko heard Bassam's words, he was also stunned and quickly looked through the telescope at the dense forest around him.
However, the dense vegetation in the jungle makes it difficult to observe any abnormalities with a telescope even in broad daylight, not to mention that the sun has already set and the jungle has become dim.
Captain Miloš Chuatoko, who had lost sight of the enemy, felt a little worried for no reason.
I put down the telescope and looked at the surrounding terrain, as well as a rare open space in this jungle.
Are you unconsciously worried that the other party is deliberately setting a trap for your own unit?
After forcing himself to calm down, Captain Miloš Chuatoko slowly spoke
"After the order was passed, all soldiers began to dig trenches around the military camp and establish three lines of defense to prepare for enemy attacks that may come at any time."
When the adjutant heard this, he quickly stood at attention and saluted
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
First Battalion Commander Bassam also looked around with some worry and then stood at attention and saluted Captain Miloš Chuatoko
"Captain, I will go down now and arrange for the brothers of the first battalion to establish a defensive line."
Captain Miloš Chuatoko nodded and signaled the other party to leave. He picked up the telescope again and carefully observed the town in the distance, but still found nothing unusual.
I could only hand the binoculars to the guard beside me helplessly, and slowly walked towards my tent.
At this moment, Bassam had returned to his first battalion's station early, gathered his company commanders, and arranged for them to start digging trenches in their defense area to prevent possible attacks.
He didn't take the initiative to fight, but he just felt that at such a dangerous moment, he would feel more secure if he was with his soldiers.
Although the Brazilian border guards have not experienced any actual combat and are very experienced, they have still experienced the most basic military training.
Under this special situation now, everyone knows that they may be attacked by the enemy at any time, so everyone will definitely be able to show unprecedented enthusiasm.
The defense line that originally took three hours to complete was built in two hours.
After the fortifications were completed, everyone entered a state of combat readiness, ready to face the attack of the Japanese army at any time.
The border guards lit bonfires more than 300 meters in front of the position, and set up searchlights in the military camp, constantly illuminating the open space outside the military camp, not giving the enemy any chance to make a sneak attack.
All soldiers are also arranged to work in three shifts, taking turns to rest, ensuring that there are awake soldiers in the trenches and machine gun bunkers at all times, and not giving the enemy any opportunities.
Commander Miloš Chuatoko and other officers were all concentrated at the regiment headquarters, not daring to relax and ready to welcome the enemy's attack at any time.
In fact, after all the defense lines were built, Captain Miloš Chuatoko was somewhat looking forward to the enemy launching a direct attack on his camp tonight.
Because, compared to attacking, defense is of course easier.
If the enemy really doesn't care and launches a night attack on his own team, he would like to see how many people the other party can consume.
After all, it is not that easy to storm a military camp with a heavy military presence.
The firepower network composed of the light and heavy machine guns in the regiment alone is enough to teach the rebels how to behave.
But as time passed little by little, the attack that everyone was waiting for did not happen. The soldiers waited nervously and nervously all night, but did not wait for any movement.
Don't say that someone launched an attack, there is not even a mouse in the two.
When the sun rose from the sky early the next morning, Commander Miloš Chuatoko and his officers walked out of the regiment headquarters one by one with dark circles under their eyes.
"Captain, this bullshit Eddie brother won't run away!"
First Battalion Commander Bassam asked with confusion.
The other two battalion commanders next to them also looked at Captain Miloš Chuatoko with puzzled faces.
"Where's the reconnaissance company? Send everyone out to me to investigate the town of Bittencott again.
If the enemy escapes, we will directly occupy the town."
Captain Miloš Chuatoko also felt very helpless about the doubts of several subordinates. Everyone has obtained the same information now. You don’t know the enemy’s traces, and I certainly don’t know either.
What do you mean by focusing your attention on me one by one? I am not a prophet.
However, it doesn't matter if the enemy really abandons Bittencourt and flees.
As long as he regains the town of Bittencourt, it will be considered a great achievement. As for how many enemies he has destroyed, isn't it up to him to make up whatever he wants?
At this time, Bassam rolled his eyes when he heard this, remembering that the scouts had reported last night that there were no enemies in the town of Bittenkot, and even the military camp was empty.
If you want to occupy the town, wouldn't it be an easy task?
If you don’t get this kind of credit for being delivered to your doorstep, you will be thundered by the sky.
So, he quickly spoke
"Commander, let's go up with the first battalion! I guarantee that we will win the completed town of Bittenkot for you."
The other two battalion commanders were not fools either. After hearing what Bassam said, they both slapped their heads and reacted. They cursed Bassam in their hearts because this bastard got the better of them again.
However, of course they couldn't give up on this kind of bargain hunting, so they also took the initiative to ask for help
"Captain, let our second battalion go up!"
"Captain, leave it to our third battalion!"
Captain Miloš Chuatoko heard the words of the people below and glanced at them with twinkling eyes.
I quickly understood in my heart that these bastards were all good at grabbing credit. They didn’t want to give up when they saw an advantage to be taken!
Originally, according to yesterday's plan, he wanted to hand over the task to First Battalion Commander Bassam.
But now the situation has changed, and I just let it slip.
Everyone knows that capturing the small town of Bittenkot is simply a credit to the doorstep.
If this task is given to Bassam, the other two battalion commanders will definitely be dissatisfied, which is obviously not conducive to the unity of the team.
Therefore, after he pondered for a while, he slowly spoke
"First, let the reconnaissance company send people to find out the situation in Bittencourt Town. If it is confirmed that the enemy has left the town, we will divide our troops into three groups. Each of you will lead your own troops to liberate the town from three directions."
p>
The three battalion commanders looked at each other when they heard this and were reluctant to say more.
However, the commander of the first battalion, Bassam, was secretly unhappy. Yesterday, he agreed to lead the attack, but today he changed the order.
However, as a person who is used to flattering others, he would not show his emotions. He just stood at attention and saluted
"Yes, leader.
I will go back now to organize the team and wait for your order to liberate the town of Bittencourt."
The other two battalion commanders also quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Commander Miloš Chuatoko turned to his chief of staff and three battalion commanders and said
