Soon, the two battalions and the special operations battalion of the Hongtang Whale Department were mobilized, and Li Tianyang also began to prepare all kinds of logistical work for this battle of more than 2,000 people.

Although it was only a military operation of more than 2,000 people, because they had to go deep into the jungle, who could know what accidents would happen at that time, so early, Li Tianyang had already prepared bagged fried noodles for the team members in advance and distributed them to each team member.

Of course, the fried noodles distributed to the team members were prepared for the accident after going deep into the jungle, and in the initial march, following the three teams, Li Tianyang organized three logistics groups with a scale of about 1,000 people, which were specially responsible for transporting food and armament materials, and cutting down and sorting out a road that could be used.

In the previous battles that Hongtang had experienced, most of them were based on war, and they alleviated their logistical pressure by plundering the grain and grass of the indigenous tribes around Bengang. However, in this war, because there was no specific location of the indigenous tribes' cottages, and I didn't know how many tribes existed on their way to sweep, Li Tianyang and them could only prepare their own grain and grass, which put a lot of pressure on logistics.

Since it was a sweep, the three teams were like plowing in their respective directions, not letting go of any suspicious places around them, and the speed of their march was naturally extremely slow.

It was only a seventeen or eighteen miles between Jilong Harbor and Jilong Mountain, and the three teams were stunned for more than two days, spreading out the crowd from north to south on this seven-eight-mile deep land. With such careful action, the natural harvest was not small, and several smaller, well-avoided small tribes were pulled out and became the first victims, and many of the larger beasts in this forest were also swept away and became food for the team members.

After the three teams converged in Jilong Shandong, the next in-depth sweep was the focus of this time.

Although the special operations battalion went deeper into the jungle for more than 30 miles, the direction in which they went deep was that the enemy invaded more southwestern foothills, because the east and southeast were relatively calm, and Wu Jie and the others could go as far as they could explore the vicinity of the unfortunate tribe that found the dog's head gold. As for the large-scale tribe marked on the map, it was accidentally discovered by a reconnaissance team under the command of the special operations battalion.

Therefore, according to the plan formulated, they will have to sweep twenty miles southeast along the coastline before ending this military operation.

"This time, our target tribe has about 1,200 people, of which the adult men are around 450, and the rest are middle-aged women, probably in their early 400s. Therefore, in the next battle, we should not take it lightly, the combat effectiveness of the indigenous people should not be underestimated, especially when they escape into the jungle, everyone must remember not to chase alone! Wu Jie, as the highest-ranking lieutenant colonel among the three battalion commanders, took on the position of wartime command, and at this time, several people were writing and drawing on the map with their respective staff.

"The front is led by our special operations battalion, and your first and second battalions are guarding our wings on the left and right flanks, encircling the rear line of the target tribe in a trapping situation." Wu Jie held his hands on the map, his eyes shining brightly at the place marked with a cross on the map.

"Okay!"

"No problem!"

Decai and Wu Chao replied one after another, without any intention of arguing and justifying, and after more than two days of jungle life, it was not difficult for Decai and Wu Chao to be wary of this unfriendly jungle area.

The non-combat attrition of 37 people was the warning issued by the jungle for more than two miles to this group of strangers in the past two days, the malaria caused by mosquito bites, the poisonous wounds caused by the attack of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and the simple traps made by the indigenous tribes, just these have made Decai and Wu Chao, the two majestic teams on the sea, become soft-footed shrimps.

Only Wu Jie and his special combat team, until they arrived at the meeting place, their team members were still standing together vigorously, and all of them were there.

Therefore, Decai and Wu Chao were very self-aware to give up the task of attacking the fortified positions to Wu Jie, and they obeyed Wu Jie's arrangement, outflanked the target's back road, and fought for a battle.

This plan is simple and straightforward, but it has also won the collective approval of everyone, and not all battle formations have to play tricks.

With the size of Wu Jie's team of more than 2,000 people, it is impossible to hide their traces in the jungle, and at this time, the traces of their group are probably already under the surveillance of the indigenous warriors.

As they got closer to the target, this realization was confirmed by Wu Jie and the others: from time to time, the feather arrows shot from a dark corner would always be accompanied by a team member's wail or a "grabbing" sound from nailing to the shield; The team members should also be more and more careful in their movements under their feet, otherwise they will inevitably touch some traps such as rows of bamboo spears falling from the sky.

Fortunately, it was Wu Jie's special operations battalion that walked ahead, and the confrontation with the indigenous fighters for more than a year has made the special combat battalion members familiar with their routines. Therefore, most of the bows and arrows and slightly rough traps shot secretly were always blocked by the team members in front of them at the first time, and only a few were able to make contributions.

If it is exchanged for the two battalions of their whale department, I am afraid that they will be in a hurry at this time, and the casualties will not be counted!

This target tribe is actually only seven or eight miles away from Jilong Mountain, but along the way, even if Wu Jie and the others are already veterans of jungle warfare, they are still delayed by the attacks one after another and the traps placed everywhere. It wasn't until it was nearly late in the evening that their group of more than 2,000 people could see the small hill where the target tribe was located.

On the fence of the cottage opposite, there were already heavily armed indigenous warriors, and it was obvious that they had already known about Wu Jie's arrival and were waiting for their arrival.

And Wu Jie and the others didn't panic, they came here all the way, and the spirit and energy of the team members were also tired, and they just had a night's rest before discussing the battle.

In addition to Decai and Wu Chao's second battalion of the whale department, it is necessary to complete the encirclement of this small cottage before dark, so as not to escape the target.

However, this is actually Wu Jie's preparation for taking precautions, with this group of indigenous warriors who can't even count the number of heads, how can they calculate the opponent who came to trouble their tribe this time, the strength of the warriors alone is more than the population of their tribe combined!

Coupled with the fierce and murderous character of the natives, it is not an easy thing to ask them to move away before they suffer a loss.

The encirclement operation was completed smoothly, this hill was not big except for the steep one, and it only took a meal, and the two battalions of Decai and Wu Chao were already in place, and the special operations battalion surrounded this cottage in the middle in a three-legged manner.
