Captain Miloš Chuatoko, who led two battalions of government officers and soldiers, was stunned after receiving Bassam's telegram. He did not expect that the one who attacked Bassam's battalion turned out to be the main force of the rebels.
p>

At this time, he didn't have time to think too much. Since the enemy's main force had been entangled by the first battalion, it was obvious that they would not be able to escape in a short time. He did not want to miss this opportunity to eliminate the enemy's main force.

Therefore, he directly ordered the two battalions to divide into two groups. The second battalion followed him to rescue the first battalion, and the third battalion was responsible for launching an attack on Manguari Town according to the original plan.

Soon, under the personal leadership of Commander Miloš Chuatoko, the Second Battalion quickly landed on the tidal flat closest to the First Battalion and went directly to encircle the First Battalion's camp.

As time passed, when they approached the battlefield, the sky had turned white. Unfortunately, the light in the Amazon jungle was still dim and visibility was very low.

Fortunately, the fierce gunfire near the battlefield can point out the direction for reinforcements.

When Captain Miloš Chuatoko arrived near the battlefield, he felt something was wrong.

Because Bassam told him that this is the main force of the enemy, with as many as a thousand people, but what he sees now is obviously inconsistent with the intelligence!

Although the enemy attacked the camp of the first battalion from all directions, there was only one real main attack direction. The other directions were completely focused on the sheep attack, and the main attack direction was as expected by Miloš Chuatoko.

If so, it would only have about one company of troops.

Although they have now entered the camp of the first battalion, the rebels, who obviously do not have the advantage in terms of strength, have been blocked by the first battalion behind the second line of defense.

But at this time, he had already arrived with reinforcements, and it was impossible to change the direction of the attack now.

We can only bite the bullet and order all the soldiers of the second battalion to attack directly towards the enemy's rear.

The rebels, who had already been blocked from attacking, were in panic when faced with the sudden attack. As soon as these veterans realized that something was wrong, they began to break out without hesitation.

It is a pity that the rebels who have been fighting for more than two hours are already suffering from many injuries, but the second battalion that is now surrounded is a new force, and the strength of the second battalion has more than three times the advantage.

Where can the rebels escape easily?

However, the rebels were also ruthless characters. Seeing that they were about to be completely surrounded, they immediately took out the grenades without hesitation, concentrated their strength, and threw a hail of grenades at the already exhausted battalion position.

The soldiers of the first battalion, who were excited to see the arrival of reinforcements, never expected that the rebels would put their breakthrough direction on their side.

Being caught off guard by this sudden attack, without waiting for the soldiers to react, the rebels took their weapons and launched a desperate charge towards the first battalion position that had just been baptized with grenades.

This desperate fighting style directly broke through the front line that the first battalion had managed to maintain. The rebels faced the front without any care and charged forward fiercely.

In just a few minutes, both sides suffered dozens of casualties.

Bassam's face, which was still excited when he saw the reinforcements arriving, suddenly turned ugly. He knew that if this group of enemies escaped easily at this time, it would definitely not be a good end for him.

Therefore, he didn't have time to think too much. He picked up the pistol in his hand and took the few remaining guards with him, and rushed towards the rebels who were charging towards them.

The two sides started shooting at each other from a distance. Under the newly brightened sky, Bassam, holding a short gun in his hand, was very conspicuous.

This allowed the rebels who were eager to break out to seize the opportunity and shoot at him.

Bassam, who was finally forced to be brave, felt his body shake before he could react. When he lowered his head, he saw a few more blood holes on his body. Then all his strength began to disappear, leaving him weak.

Fell in the muddy camp.

When the surrounding guards saw this situation, they fired at the rebels who rushed in regardless.

The two groups of men fired nearly a hundred rounds of bullets at each other in just two minutes, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

By the time the rebels broke through a camp and rushed into the jungle on the opposite side, less than ten people were left.

The Second Battalion in the rear followed closely behind these rebels. After less than 500 meters of pursuit in the jungle, they had to give up. Because these rebels were obviously more familiar with the jungle environment than they were.

The rebels who entered the jungle took advantage of the small number of people and disappeared into the dense jungle like monkeys.

As the rebels who were finally able to move broke through, the entire camp of the first battalion finally returned to calm.

Accompanied by the soldiers, Captain Miloš Chuatoko walked into the camp that had been penetrated by the enemy. His face was very ugly.

Because, from what he saw, the enemies attacking here were not the main force of the rebels at all, and their number was even less than the more than a thousand people Bassam said.

"Tell your battalion commander to come see me!"

Captain Miloš Chuatoko said with a cold tone, he grabbed a battalion of soldiers.

When the soldier heard this, he glanced at his regiment leader hesitantly, but hesitated to speak.

Miloš Chuatoko's face became even more gloomy upon seeing this.

"If you have something to say, say it, if you have something to say, let it go!"

The soldier didn't dare to hide it when he saw this, and pointed in the direction of the battalion headquarters

"I heard from my brothers that when the rebels broke out, they encountered the battalion commander. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and the battalion commander died in the line of duty."

Captain Miloš Chuatoko couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He looked in the direction pointed by the other party and indeed saw a group of people surrounding him.

This made his face look even more ugly.

There are three battalions under his command, and the current situation seems that one battalion is about to be crippled. If the battalion commander dies in battle, it will be a huge loss.

Ignoring the soldier, Captain Miloš Chuatoko quickly walked towards the crowd. As expected, he saw Bassam lying on his back on the muddy ground. The medical soldier next to him had given up rescuing him.

Obviously, he is really dead.

This left Commander Miloš Chuatoko with nowhere to get angry. He could only glance at the crowd and saw two company commanders from the first battalion present.

The two of them had also seen their captain, and they quickly stood at attention and saluted. Everyone around them quickly followed suit and saluted.

At this time, Captain Miloš Chuatoko obviously had no time to care about these false courtesy, and waved his hand indifferently

"Why are you still hanging around here? Since Battalion Commander Bassam has died for the country, let's collect his body quickly.

The officers of your battalion and platoon level or above will gather with me at your battalion headquarters and give me a detailed explanation of the situation you encountered."

When everyone heard this, they quickly stood at attention and saluted, and they all responded in unison!

Then the responsible people followed the regiment commander and entered the battalion commander's tent, while the soldiers at the scene had already begun to collect the body of their battalion commander.

The purpose of Captain Miloš Chuatoko's gathering of everyone was, of course, to understand the true situation they had experienced.

After all, the situation he sees now is still very different from what Bassam reported in the telegram.

Soon, through the narrations of these front-line officers, Captain Miloš Chuatoko also understood the actual situation at that time. The situation he saw was obviously consistent with the actual situation.

This shows that the content of the telegram sent by Bassam seriously exaggerated the facts.

After reacting, Captain Miloš Chuatoko rushed out of the camp immediately and set his sights in the direction of Manguari.

As if to confirm his conjecture, as soon as he looked in the direction of Manguari Town, an earth-shattering explosion came from the town. He could clearly feel the huge impact even five kilometers away from the town.

This situation made his expression change drastically, and he understood that the third battalion attacking Manguari Town must have encountered an ambush.

With his face ashen, he had no time to blame the dead Bassam and shouted to the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield

"Everyone gather together! Hurry!"

The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield in the camp were also shaken by the sudden big explosion, and their eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the explosion.

It wasn't until they heard the roar of their captain that they realized what they were doing. They all dropped what they were doing and began to assemble according to the captain's orders.

Just when Miloš Chuatoko finished speaking, continuous gunshots rang out from the direction of Manguari Town, and everyone understood what this meant.

Everyone began to seize the time to organize their equipment and move closer to their superiors.

Under the constant urging of Commander Miloš Chuatoko, the remnants of the Second Battalion and the First Battalion, which had just experienced a battle, gathered again and began to move towards the town of Manguari.

But the enemy obviously didn't intend to let them take it easy. Several gunshots were heard from time to time in the jungle on the way forward.

As soon as the gunshots sound, everyone will instinctively start to look for bunkers to hide, and then commanders at all levels will send soldiers to launch a counterattack against the enemies who attack them.

But the enemy never stayed where they were. When the soldiers rushed into the jungle, they often found that they could not find any enemy at all.

After doing this twice, Captain Miloš Chuatoko also realized that this was not an attack on him at all. These gunmen in the jungle were actually harassing him to the point of slowing down his ability to reinforce Manguari.

.

Give the rebels on the Manguari battlefield more time to eliminate their own three battalions.

"Order the Second Battalion to send a company forward to investigate the jungles on both sides of the road and eliminate scattered enemies harassing the large army. The rest of the group should ignore these harassments, and the entire army will go straight to Manguari to reinforce the Third Battalion."

Commander Miloš Chuatoko issued the new order without hesitation.

When the ordering soldiers heard this, they quickly stood at attention and saluted.

"Yes, sir!"

Then he went straight to deliver the order without stopping.

With a company searching for enemies on both sides of the advancing direction of the large army, the troops completely ignored the bullets fired from the jungle on both sides, and the advance speed was significantly accelerated.

Just when Captain Miloš Chuatoko thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, two violent explosions came from the front, and the entire team had to stop again.

"What's going on?"

Captain Miloš Chuatoko felt uneasy for a while, and soon the news from the front confirmed his suspicion.

"Captain, the enemy has planted mines on the road ahead, and we have lost three brothers. We are now organizing manpower to clear mines, and the forward speed is limited!"

Hearing this, Miloš Chuatoko couldn't help but cursed

"Assholes, these damn rebels. How long do you think it will take to clear the mines?"
