But soon his mind condensed and he said:
"Captain, I don't think the enemy will wait for us in Manguali. Instead, they are very likely to jump out and continue to lead us by the nose.
This will make us very passive! "
Captain Milosh Chuatoko nodded with a gloomy face and said:
"Yes! This is what I am most worried about. It is too easy to hide a team in the Amazon jungle, not to mention that the other party is an armed force that transports DP in the Amazon jungle all year round.
I'm sure the other party's real lair must be hidden in the nearby jungle.
If we can’t find this place, they’ll just lead us around like birds. That’s not what I want to see.”
The Chief of Staff saw the concern of Colonel Milos Chuatoko and gritted his teeth and said:
“Captain, now that we have occupied Bitenkot Town, we cannot give it up. Once we transfer troops to Manguari, Bitenkot Town will be empty.
...
...
It is possible that the town of Bittencourt, which we have just recaptured, will be occupied by the Eddie brothers again.
This will make it even more difficult for us to explain to our superiors.
If it doesn't work, I will take some people to stay behind to defend Bittenkot, and you will lead the army to attack Manguari and force the Eddie brothers into the jungle.
Let the Amazon rainy season teach them a lesson.”
Captain Milos Chuatoco looked at his new chief of staff with some surprise. He knew very well that staying to defend the town of Bitenkot was not an easy task. Now they were not sure how many people were in the anti-government armed forces of the Eddie brothers. If he attacked Manguari, he would definitely take a large force with him.
There are not many people who can stay for the Chief of Staff. If the Eddie brothers jump out of Manguari again like they are doing now and turn around to attack Bittenkot, the defenders of Bittenkot will definitely suffer a great loss.
Judging from the expression of the chief of staff, he obviously understood this, but he still took the initiative to bring it up. This forced Colonel Milos Chuatoko to look at him with new eyes.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Chief of Staff, I understand your intention. The reason why we came up empty-handed this time is because we don't know enough about the movements of the Eddie brothers.
We can't make the same mistake this time. So, I plan to send scouts to Manguari to confirm the movements of the Eddie brothers. If we confirm that they have stayed in Manguari, we will start the action.
If the enemy wants to come back to Bittenkot again, we will set up an ambush in Bittenkot and try to eliminate them in one go."
Upon hearing this, the Chief of Staff realized that Captain Milosh Chuatoko already had a complete plan in mind. He breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something else and said to the captain with some concern:
"But, the superiors..."
Captain Milosh Chuatoko withdrew his gaze from the map, looked back at the chief of staff and said:
"I will explain it to my superiors in person. Don't worry, even if there is accountability, I will bear the responsibility."
Seeing that the regiment commander had made up his mind, and knowing that it was useless to say more, the chief of staff stopped talking and just stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, Captain!"
The three battalion commanders who were following behind had already heard the conversation between the two and understood the current situation.
Obviously, their target had tricked them, directly attacked their rear route, and occupied their logistics base.
Several people were a little panicked at first, but as the regiment commander and the chief of staff talked, they were relieved to hear that the regiment commander had an idea.
Just when the border guards occupied the town of Bittenkot and received the coded telegram from the Eddie brothers, they were anxious and upset.
Fang Lang has returned to Natal with his two girlfriends.
Fang Lang, who had just been dealing with official documents in the office, was interrupted by Syrio Reci with a telegram.
After listening to Cirio Recchi's report, Fang Lang stood up in surprise, walked to the map, looked at the positions of Bittenkot and Manguari, and said while touching his chin:
“Brother Eddie has some capable people in his team! The border guards’ actions are under their control.
Maybe there are spies among the border guards. If that's the case, this operation will be dangerous."
After saying that, he gave another order to the person outside the door:
"Qingshan, help me call Chief of Staff De La Torre over."
Qi Qingshan responded from outside the door, "Yes, boss!"
Fang Lang continued to look at the map and fell into deep thought. Seeing that Fang Lang was thinking about something, Syrio Recchi did not respond, but just stood there quietly waiting.
Soon, there was a knock on the office door, and De La Torre, led by Qi Qingshan, entered Fang Lang's office.
"Boss, you're looking for me?"
Fang Lang turned around and nodded to De La Torre, saying:
"Come in and sit down. Sirio, please brief the chief of staff on the situation."
Upon hearing this, Sirio Regis stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, boss!"
Then he turned around and told De La Torre the news he had just received.
Hearing this, De La Torre frowned, stood up, walked to Fang Lang, and looked at the map.
He said to Fang Lang beside him:
"Boss, do you need us to send people to join the encirclement and suppression?"
Fang Lang heard this, smiled and shook his head:
"Not yet, we are the navy, it is not our turn to take action now.
However, Amazon jungle warfare is also a skill that we must master.
The current army has not begun to pay attention to the particularity of jungle warfare. I believe that after this incident, the army will begin to understand that there is a big difference between jungle warfare and fighting in ordinary terrain.
Our Marines must also master the skills of jungle warfare, so I hope your staff can go back and organize personnel to conduct research on jungle warfare.
We must plan ahead. If the Army suffers a loss in the Amazon jungle, our Marines cannot make the same mistake.
Moreover, the relationship between Brother Eddie and us is not very friendly. I hope that when necessary, our Marines can be pulled out, stepped up, and win the battle.
Do you get me?"
After listening to Fang Lang's words, De La Torre nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Boss, actually, I think our navy has certain advantages in fighting in the Amazon jungle. You see, the towns of Bittenkote and Manguari are both by the river. Compared with the army, our marines still have certain advantages in landing operations.
If we become more familiar with the characteristics of jungle warfare, play to our strengths, and attack these towns directly from the river, we will definitely be more confident than their army.
Do you think we need to apply to the Ministry of Defense to allow us to join the operation to encircle and suppress the Eddie brothers?
After all, the Eddie family has a great grudge against us."
The meaning is very clear. They believe that Brother Eddie is the mastermind behind the assassination of Fang Lang, and that they are the mortal enemies of the aircraft carrier fleet. They hope to personally eliminate their enemies.
Fang Lang heard this, smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder and said:
"Haha... De La Torre, don't worry, the Eddie brothers not only have a grudge against us, they are criminals who have committed treason and have now formed an anti-government armed force.
They can be said to be the enemy of the entire Brazil. If we rush out and take the initiative to fight them, people may think that we are stealing the army's work. The relationship between the army and the navy is not harmonious, so we should be cautious about such matters.
Also, I don't feel that we are ready to fight the enemy in the jungle.
You are right, we do have an advantage over the army in launching an attack from the river.
However, don't forget that the Amazon River is just a river, and the enemy's location is only a tributary of the Amazon River. The hydrological conditions of the river are definitely not suitable for our naval ships to enter.
If we accidentally let our warship run aground in it, it would be a huge joke.
Therefore, the first priority now is to first study the characteristics of jungle warfare, and then research some targeted equipment based on these characteristics.
We also developed a special training plan to enable our soldiers to thrive in the jungle and achieve a perfect strike."
De La Torre blushed when he heard this. He was indeed too eager and did not consider the danger of the Amazon River to the navy.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"As far as I know, the equipment of our Amazon River inland fleet is very old. They are all old gunboats eliminated during the First World War. I don't know if they can play their due role."
Fang Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this an opportunity to build his own shipyard?
Given the current situation of Fangyuan Group's shipyard, it may take some time to build qualified naval ships immediately, but inland gunboats are not difficult at all, and some experience can be gained for naval ships.
The most important thing is the current situation. Neither the Ministry of Defense nor the President will be stingy with investment in inland gunboats.
After all, the Eddie brothers have now dealt a severe slap to the government in the face, and the government will absolutely spare no cost in eliminating this anti-government armed force.
As long as the operation is done properly, it might be a big order. Thinking of this, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that this brother Eddie is not useless!
Soon Fang Lang thought of another kind of equipment, which he had never thought of before. Now when he suddenly heard about the inland gunboat, it immediately reminded him of another very common equipment - the rubber boat.
You know, when he was building the automobile industry, he also supported several rubber manufacturing companies. Rubber boats are not difficult to manufacture, but they have a wide range of uses, so it seems necessary to manufacture them.
Of course, the biggest threat in the Amazon River may not be the gunboats, but rather those fast-moving armed speedboats equipped with heavy machine guns, which may be more lethal.
These equipments need to be studied carefully. The Amazon River is so long that there is a lot of demand for this kind of equipment. This is a big business.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang laughed and said to De La Torre:
"That's perfect. It will allow the inland fleet to replace some equipment. I have to talk to the shipyard at home and take advantage of the opportunity to win this order!"
There were only De La Torre and Cirio Recchi in the room. Everyone knew that Fangyuan Group had a large shipyard in the Port of Santos in Sao Paulo, so when they heard Fang Lang's words, they all laughed.
De La Torre smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that this Eddie brother could actually create some performance for the boss's shipyard. Should we give them a certificate of merit when the time comes?"
Several people realized that De La Torre was joking and burst into laughter.
After Fang Lang thought of the inland gunboats and rubber boats, he soon realized that fighting in the jungle, camouflage is very important for the soldiers. The current Brazilian army is not equipped with camouflage uniforms.
It seems necessary to develop a special camouflage uniform suitable for fighting in the Amazon jungle for our Marine Corps.
In fact, during World War II, the Germans had already begun using professional camouflage uniforms.
Of course, the German camouflage patterns are definitely not suitable for use in the Amazon jungle.
But we can get the printing and dyeing technology of camouflage fabrics from the Germans and use it to make special camouflage suitable for the Amazon jungle.
In addition to clothing, the most terrifying thing in the jungle is the various poisonous insects. If you want to prevent soldiers from being harmed by poisonous insects in the jungle and causing non-combat casualties, you must develop equipment and medicines to prevent poisonous insects.
For example, many oil paints used in later generations have a certain insect repellent effect.
But these are obviously not enough, because there are still many dangerous species such as mosquitoes and leeches in the jungle, which are the biggest enemies of human survival in the jungle.
Fang Lang believed that the natives in the jungle must have their own experience in dealing with these things.
Therefore, Fang Lang originally planned to recruit some professional hunters from the jungle to train their Marines in jungle warfare skills.
Sometimes a good hunter in the jungle can kill countless professional soldiers silently. The favorite weapon used by the Brazilian jungle natives is the poisonous blowgun.
The Marines can also learn to use this kind of thing in the future! These are all powerful weapons for scouting.
Of course there are also professional crossbows and firearms silencers.
Think about the Rambo movie series, where Rambo used a bow and arrow to kill countless fully armed soldiers in the jungle.
This kind of silent battle can easily make people feel despair.
These are the skills that Fang Lang hopes his soldiers can master. Yes, Fang Lang's goal is to train a group of professional jungle warfare fighters like Rambo in his Marine Corps.
In particular, the Navy Special Tactics Research Group he plans to establish, which is the special forces he prepares for himself, will have to learn and master these professional skills.
As for gun silencers, they are not some new weapons and equipment, so there is no need to invest a lot of effort in re-research and design.
Because this thing was invented as early as 1908.
Of course, not many people use this kind of equipment. Most of them are agents, or they use it when performing special tasks.
Fang Lang now wants to notify his light weapons factory to equip his naval special tactics research team with this equipment.
Imagine a team of Rambo-like warriors destroying a group of anti-government armed forces responsible for transporting DP in the Amazon jungle. That would be an easy task.
However, these are just Fang Lang’s plans. His naval special tactics research team has not yet been established!
The training time he set for his ordinary Marines was as long as six months, and now these soldiers are still struggling in the exciting training ground!
