Chapter 570 The situation deteriorates

Lin Dong hurried to the base command camp.

Early this morning, he received a message from a soldier, saying that Niels had something urgent to ask him to meet at the base command camp.

It has been almost two months since Lin Dong arrived in Central Africa. Except for the previous battle, Bria was considered peaceful during the rest of the time.

In some scattered skirmishes, the government troops did not suffer much damage, but caused a lot of losses to the rebels.

And this level of fighting will not alarm everyone in Dragon Soul.

"General Niels, I don't know what happened to looking for me so urgently?"

Looking at Nils whose arm injury was almost healed, Lin Dong asked aloud.

"Head of the Dragon God, come and see, this is the news I just got today, the northern rebels are fighting with the Boji government!"

"Oh?"

Lin Dong's expression changed, and he became interested.

After receiving the document from Niels, Lin Dong carefully read it.

It turned out that just last night, the northern rebels suddenly launched an attack on important cities in northern Central Africa. Among them, the capital of Bamingui-Bangoran province, Ndélé, Odada and Samo Oddga, were successively attacked. .

At dawn, cities such as Ndélé had been occupied by the rebels, and the garrisoned government troops had to withdraw from many cities in the north and hand over these places to the rebels.

The battle lasted for several hours, in which the government army suffered 50 casualties, and the rebels also paid the price of more than 100 people.

In comparison, the armed forces in the hands of the Boji government are still much more powerful than the rebels. With an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the street fighting with the help of city streets has caused a lot of trouble for the rebels.

However, this battle not only lost the city. When the government army retreated, many heavy weapons were not taken away because they were too hasty. In the end, they were all cheaper for the northern rebels. In this way, the strength of the rebels increased a lot. .

Of those missed cities, the loss of Ndélé affected the Bozi government the most.

Ndélé itself is just a small town with a population of only about 1000 people, but it is a market in the northeastern part of the Central African Republic and the capital of Bamingui-Bangoran Province. East, with an altitude of 515 meters, and there are airport facilities in the town.

The loss of such towns had a great impact on the Boji government's control over the vast northern areas.The most important thing is that this kind of place will bring great economic benefits to the rebels. In this way, the rebels who have been constrained by money are tantamount to getting the best opportunity to grow and develop.

"Are there any abnormal movements in the eastern rebels?"

Putting down the documents in his hand, Lin Dong looked at Niels and asked.

"No."

Niels shook his head.

"Since we wiped out more than 1000 rebel troops in the east, the eastern rebel alliance can be said to have been hit hard. Now they may not have the courage to cater to the attack of the northern rebels."

"We can't relax. We don't know who is standing behind these rebels, so we can't be careless about them."

As far as Lin Dong knew, there was a unit led by the Ugandan rebel Omo in the northern rebel army. They were very powerful, and there was a big arms dealer behind them. Who knows how far they have developed now.

"Haha, don't worry, now we have enough manpower, the outposts, patrols, and scouts are constantly monitoring the surrounding area of Bria, and we won't let the enemy come under our noses and attack this kind of thing again. of!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong nodded and said nothing more.

He has already reminded that his duty has been fulfilled, and the rest depends on whether the rebels are brave enough.

"It's like this. Apart from telling the head of the Dragon God about the northern rebels, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Lin Dong nodded, "General Niels, please tell me."

"It's like this, in the south of our Bria, go south along the Bangui-Birao road, and you will reach Bambari.

This is the capital of the Vaca province.The population is more than 4 people.On the left bank of the Waka River, a tributary of the Ubangi River, it is the central city of the Central Highlands.

This is the distribution center of China-Africa cotton, rubber, timber and other agricultural and forestry products.There are small industries such as cotton ginning, oil pressing, and soap.

There are diamond mines and nickel mines nearby.An important water and land transportation hub in the central region, where multiple highways intersect, leading to the capital Bangui and major provincial capitals.The Kava River is navigable most of the year.

It is also the end of the river taxation. If it is occupied by the rebels, it will change the situation of the entire Central African war.

So the Bozi government hopes that we can send troops to guard Bambari with them and prevent it from falling into the hands of the rebels. "

"Bambari?"

This place is very strange to Lin Dong, he has never heard of this city.

"Yes, Captain Dragon God, please take a look."

Nils pointed to the map on the table and said, "Look, this is the Bangui-Birao Highway, and we are here now."

After clicking a red dot on the map, Nils continued: "This is Bria, then go down the road, climb over the mountains on the border between Haut-Kotto and Vaka, and then go on for about a hundred kilometers. , it’s Bambari.”

"There are about government guards in Bambari now. Although they are well-equipped and staffed by veterans, their numbers are too small. If the eastern rebels really launch a large-scale attack, they will not be able to stop them at all."

Lin Dong carefully checked the distance between the two cities, raised his head and said, "General, don't you think these two cities are too far apart?"

"Let's not talk about other things. If we support Bambari, how many people should we send? These people need to waste a lot of resources on such a long journey, and they may be attacked by rebels. These things are all We must consider.

Also, even if you can enter Bambari safely, with such a long distance, the supporting soldiers may have completely cut off contact with us. The battles on both sides cannot be supported in a short time, so this is the same. It also needs you, the general, to judge. "

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Dong's words, Nils fell into deep thought. He is now weighing the gains and losses of this mission in his mind.

Thinking about the conditions Bozi gave before, Niels was very tempted to be honest.

"Captain Dragon God, in fact, there is a way to solve your worries."

After hearing Niels' words, Lin Dong knew that he had already made a choice.

"It seems that Niels was so moved by the conditions proposed by the other party that he even temporarily abandoned his own army."

Thinking in his heart, Lin Dong quietly waited for Niels' solution.
