Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 309 Torture (I)

Only after personally hitting the road did Huangmao realize that the traffic conditions in Brazil were really bad.

It's okay in inhabited areas. No matter how dilapidated the roads are, even the lowest-level rural dirt roads are maintained by people. When potholes appear on the road, pebbles and river sand will be poured in to fill them.

As long as the engine of the passing car is powerful and as long as the driver and passengers can tolerate the slight bumps, this is not a big problem; at most you will just have to drive slower.

However, as soon as the convoy leaves the inhabited area and enters the uninhabited area of ​​the rainforest, the integrity of the traffic roads will rapidly decline and become dilapidated.

In the rainforest environment, roads corrode quickly, and the Brazilian government's lack of attention to road funding and corruption within the road department have exacerbated the existing problems.

It is hard to describe the wild roads in Brazil in a few words. Friends who are interested can search for relevant videos on video websites. There is no need to spend too much time describing them here, so as to avoid the suspicion of watering down the word count.

Fortunately, Fujiwara no Masato had anticipated this problem in advance. He sent out rangers to survey the road conditions on site and planned a route that avoided the difficult roads.

There are some key sections that cannot be avoided, and there is no way to stop the convoy's progress. With more than a thousand people, there is strength in numbers, not to mention that Fujiwara Masato has also prepared professional tools and small excavators in advance.

Even if the bridge is broken, the convoy can build a temporary bridge in the shortest time and pass through quickly.

This is the feeling of an army traveling, cutting through mountains and building bridges over rivers. Fujiwara Masato, who is controlling all this behind the scenes, feels very happy, just like he is playing Stellaris, Red Alert, or a gunfight version of Mount & Blade.

There is no doubt about the NPC's execution ability. Once the BOSS gives an order, they will resolutely carry it out no matter what difficulties they face.

The execution ability of the militiamen of the Heitu family is not much worse. The Japanese immigrants living in groups still maintain the Japanese group discipline. With the head of the family, Heitu Yang, present in person, they work particularly hard.

To the extent that, when it came to paving roads and building bridges, this joint team was so efficient that the spies following behind were frightened when they just stepped forward to take a quick look.

Brazilians are very romantic, and the synonym of romance is actually laziness. This lazy culture exists from the civilian population to the military.

They are good at eating, drinking and having fun. If you ask Brazilians to work seriously, they will only find ways to be lazy and slack off.

Therefore, in the eyes of the spies, the only group that can carry out engineering projects so efficiently is the army, and they are the elite among the army.

Although the answer was not wrong, they obviously misunderstood something... But if you look into it more carefully, it seems that there was no misunderstanding.

The convoy's efficient road and bridge construction made the forces behind the spies even more tense.

No one wants to go up against an elite army, which is the embodiment of death and destruction.

The convoy's journey was relatively smooth, but due to the poor road conditions, the 1,000 people still spent a lot of extra time repairing the road, so they did not arrive at their destination until five o'clock in the evening.

This is a small clearing in the rainforest, one kilometer away from the nearest road and ten kilometers away from the enemy base.

The space was not large, so as soon as the convoy arrived, the Sea Lion Commandos, Rangers, and the militiamen from the Black Soil family came with chainsaws to cut down trees. Three small excavators were driven off the heavy trucks to weed and remove fallen trees.

In just one hour, the small open space that could only accommodate dozens of people was turned into a vast area large enough for a thousand people to camp.

Half of the people began to set up camp. Following the advice of low-ranking officers in the Sea Lion Commando, Huangmao ordered the drivers to park the trucks in a group outside the camp, with important auxiliary vehicles inside.

In particular, the three 155 howitzers were transferred from heavy trucks by the artillerymen and began to deploy them in the center of the camp.

Of course, such a deployment must be carried out in secret. The artillerymen set up large military tents in advance to block the artillery, and outsiders cannot be allowed to spy on their existence now.

The howitzer needs to be kept secret, but there is no need to pay too much attention to other things.

The cooking cart was firing up, and more than twenty chefs and double the number of kitchen helpers were already at work. Tonight's dinner was rice as the main course, kebab, beef stew with potatoes, and mushroom cream soup with boiled cabbage.

Fujiwara no Masato couldn't comment on how it tasted, after all, he couldn't eat it. Anyway, there were meat and vegetables, as well as soup, which was enough to fill everyone's stomach.

Apart from the deployment of artillery, everyone else's actions were normal in preparation for setting up camp, so the spies who were following not far away did not have too many suspicions.

The people at the Wallis Mercy Medical Base ten kilometers away didn't even know that there was an army camped ten kilometers away.

In the rainforest environment, ten kilometers is not close. The Wallis family installed many hidden cameras on the side of the only dirt road leading to the base to monitor the road. The cameras are mainly within a five-kilometer range.

Even if the motorcade was holding a concert and an open-air barbecue feast, the Wallis Mercy Medical Base ten kilometers away would not be able to see or hear the noise in the distance.

Secondly, the Wallis Mercy Medical Base is so well hidden that it is not only unknown in Brazil, but the only access to the base is a dirt road connecting to the main road, which can be accessed by motorcycles but not by four-wheel trucks.

When the spies passing by saw this road, they subconsciously thought that the end of the road was a village of rainforest residents.

In fact, there is indeed a village in front of the base, and the residents living there will block drivers and tourists who accidentally break in, so that they will not discover the base hidden further back in the valley.

Therefore, the spies who wanted to sell the team intelligence for money also ignored the existence of Wallis Charity Medical Base, so that even though the former was so close, the Wallis family did not notice the danger.

As for the part-time spies in the convoy, they didn't know what the convoy was going to do or who they were going to fight. The order they received was just to set up camp here. They had no idea that the battle would begin tomorrow.

In this way, Wallis Mercy Medical Base spent a very quiet night tonight.

the next morning
"Ohhhh... Here it comes, here it comes, the battle is about to begin!"

Fujiwara Masato, who was far away in Japan, shouted excitedly. On the desk in front of him was a military combat map filled with information the Rangers had obtained after investigating the Wallis Mercy Medical Base.

The terrain of Wallis Mercy Medical Base is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely concealed.

This "high school" is hidden in a valley. The mountains on both sides of the valley are not high, but very steep. Coupled with the rubber trees and thorny plants on the mountains, this place has become a difficult place to climb.

Professional mountain climbers can definitely climb up, but it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

Behind the Wallis Mercy Medical Base, not far from the second exit of the valley, is a river that is more than ten meters wide and of unknown depth.

Obviously, the Wallis Mercy Medical Base relies on this river and uses boats rather than vehicles to replenish supplies.

In front of the base, there is a village with about a hundred people living there to block unknown outsiders. According to the rangers' report, there are many dangerous things placed there, such as sinkholes, iron clamps and other things targeting humans. In the dense rainforest, not to mention ordinary people, even US special forces soldiers may get hurt if they pass through here.

Fujiwara Masato asked the rangers if they could clean up the place, and the answer he got was yes, but it would take a lot of time.

In that case, forget it.

In addition, since the enemy did not want outsiders to approach the base from the rainforests on both sides, Fujiwara Masato did as they wished and let the rangers carry a large number of anti-personnel mines into the convoy on the night when the convoy set up camp to provoke the enemy.

My people can't pass through here, so you can't pass through here either.

As for what to do with the traps and mines in this rainforest after the battle is over.

This has nothing to do with Fujiwara Masato. He is not going to come to this damn place called Brazilian rainforest to wander around.

Secondly, the humidity in the rainforest is so high that the anti-personnel mines placed in the forest may become ineffective in a short period of time.

Such a unique terrain allowed Fujiwara no Masato, who did not have much military knowledge, to know that if his troops wanted to attack, they could only attack head-on or go around and cross the river.

And how wide is the front of the battlefield?
The rangers marked on the map that the width of the passage between the rainforest and the mountains was only about 500 meters to 1 kilometer, and the base and the village were about two kilometers apart, separated by a small hill about 100 meters high and sparse trees.

Is this a problem?
Fujiwara no Masato was not sure. In addition, with a width of 500 meters at its narrowest point, how many soldiers could be deployed to participate in the attack at the same time?

Fujiwara Masato made a rough estimate and estimated that there were about fifty to one hundred people. If there were more people, it would not be possible because the density was too high and the other party could easily hit the target with random shooting.

This is not a problem either.

If you can't take the base quickly, then take it slow. Also, the river behind the valley behind the enemy base is also a problem, so arrange for people to go around it.

Fujiwara no Masato lay on the map and drew with great interest.

"Hurry, get in the car!"

Early in the morning, after breakfast, all the militiamen belonging to the Black Soil Family were ordered to carry a day's supply of dry food and clean water, and get on the truck with a hundred terrorists to leave the camp.

"What's going on, where are we going?"

"Shut up, we are going to fight, hold your weapons and follow the orders of the officers around you... Who do you say is the officer?
Idiot, the person holding the walkie-talkie next to you is your superior, he is your squad leader, follow him!"

A huge convoy consisting of more than 400 joint forces headed towards the enemy base.

However, fifteen trucks carrying one hundred militiamen and twenty terrorists, as well as two small excavators, separated from the main force halfway and headed towards another road.

After crossing the river, the convoy would stop on the side of the road, and the soldiers on board would get out and walk through the woods to go around the rear of the enemy base.

Their mission was to station troops on the opposite side of the river, block the retreat route to the valley, and seal off the river so that people inside could not enter or leave at will.

At the same time, the two small excavators following them will clear the trees that are in the way and clear a temporary road as soon as possible so that the logistics supply trucks can go directly.

While the detachment was trudging through the rain forest, the main force of 300 people also disembarked by the roadside and rushed towards the village along the path.

At this point, the villagers employed by the Wallis family also realized that something was wrong. After the young and middle-aged men in the village heard the alarm, they quickly rushed to the village entrance with guns.

Then, without asking any questions, these dozen people started yelling at a group of people who had come to the open space in front of the village and told them to get out immediately.

The villagers' courage was commendable, but their eyesight was not very good. They had just fired a few shots with their second-hand weapons when a hail of bullets came flying towards them from the opposite side.

The villagers' resistance was weak. The more than 300 people who entered the village occupied every corner of the village in just fifteen minutes.

Huangmao left behind more than 20 militiamen to collect the villagers' weapons and guard the prisoners, while the rest of them passed through the existence and continued forward to the base hidden behind.

The Wallis Mercy Medical Base was so well camouflaged that no one could see the base until the others followed the dirt road and climbed the small hill behind the village.

When the three hundred people climbed up the hillside, they could see the tall walls of the base not far away through the gaps between the trees. The guards on the wall could also see the former. They were one kilometer apart, which was not far.

Huangmao climbed up the hillside and took a quick look through the telescope. He found that the guards on the wall must have known that the enemy would come long ago, and they were looking at the hill with a nervous expression.

"Mr. Red Jack, what should we do now?"

The militia leader of the Heitu family asked him respectfully, but Heituyang did not come over. He stayed in the artillery position in the rear.

Huangmao didn't answer. He looked up at the sky and then at his watch. The time was half past ten.

"Dig trenches, chop wood, and fortify this hillside."

At this time, the flanking troops had not yet arrived, but the people in the base had also discovered the former.

The head of the base, no matter how stupid the members of the Wallis family were, they realized at this time that there were enemies coming.

How to do?
For a while, he didn't know that the armed men were blocking the hillside in front of the base and refused to come down. Judging from their number, there were about two or three hundred people, and they didn't seem like they were easy to deal with.

But letting them continue to block the way was not a good idea, especially when the operator of the drone discovered another group of enemies passing through the woods on the other side of the river.

Wallis thought for a moment and took out the walkie-talkie.

"Have the escort fire at them with machine guns and sniper rifles, and at the same time take out the mortars and blow up ..."

Before he could finish his words, Wallis heard a heavy whistling sound coming from the top of the ceiling in his office. Having once served in the Israeli army, his face changed drastically.

He was so familiar with this noise!
