The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

In comparison, the guerrillas had fewer personnel and much worse weapons, let alone heavy equipment. It was considered good to have an assault rifle in hand. The assault rifles in the hands of the players were the "top configuration" among the Tongkat Ali guerrillas here, because they actually had rails and a zoom lens. It just so happened that the helicopters sent by Indonesia were not professional armed helicopters. The machine gunners at the hatch were exposed and used elastic ropes to fix the machine guns in their hands for strafing. Therefore, these giant security guards who were originally here to protect reporters actually took on the task of using assault rifles to fight against helicopters.

Using an assault rifle to shoot at a helicopter may be an easy task in other games, but in this highly realistic game, it is not easy for players to do this while facing a hail of bullets that may be fired at them at any time. It is probably because they are more stable in mentality (after all, if they die in the game, they only have to wait an hour to be resurrected, which is much less stressful than risking their lives to shoot down a helicopter). The four bodyguards opened fire together and concentrated their fire on one of the helicopters. Each of them used up one or two magazines before they finally killed the door machine gunner of one of the helicopters flying in the sky.

The four players thought that the remaining helicopters would notice them and then rain bullets down on them, overwhelming them so much that they couldn't even lift their heads.

I didn't expect that the few remaining helicopters in the sky actually... withdrew?

“Running away now?”

"I guess we should go back and get a professional armed helicopter..." Although the one in the sky had escaped, the Indonesian army on the ground was still fighting, and was winning victory after victory. The players were just rejoicing that they had shot the helicopter away, but the next second, a shell exploded directly next to one of the players. The huge impact knocked him against the wall, and he was smashed to pieces.

"Woo woo woo, guys, I'm offline! I'm going to go review for the final exam, see you in an hour!"

Among the remaining three players, one was also ready to die on the spot, and then hurried to eat, take a shower, poop, etc., to finish all the work within an hour, and then go back to the game online.

The two of them retreated with the main force.

The guerrillas responsible for covering fell one after another, and more and more guerrillas and important documents and supplies were transferred to the deeper part of the cave. However, the offensive of the Indonesian army was still fierce. Their armored vehicles moved forward and fired recklessly at the guerrillas who lacked anti-armor fire knives. The trees and rocks were broken into pieces.

Five pieces, not to mention the flesh and blood.

As for the player who chose to stay with the guerrillas to resist, he controlled the game character to tie a grenade behind the bunker. Now, the gunfire inside and outside the cave has stopped. If he raised his gun and fired at the Indonesian army, he would not only fail to kill anyone, but the Indonesian army would concentrate its firepower and flood the player's position with ammunition in the blink of an eye. It would be better to stop for a while and wait for the Indonesian soldiers to come over to finish off the player before firing the super-large glory bullet...

"Damn it, I'm going to blow up with you guys!"

In the battle of East Timor, the Indonesian armed forces had no rear, and the TURF had no front line.

For the Indonesian armed forces, they conquered the entire territory of East Timor, but most of the East Timorese throughout the territory were deeply hostile to Indonesia. Indonesian soldiers were facing sneak attacks, ambushes, or kidnappings from guerrillas at any time. Transport vehicles and arsenals were all targets of attack. As for the Tongan Revolutionary Front, they could not directly confront a behemoth like the Indonesian army on the land of East Timor. With the entire territory occupied, there was naturally no front line in the conventional sense. This meant that all their activities had to be carried out "underground" and under Indonesia's reign of terror at all times. Both the headquarters and the guerrillas scattered around the country could be forced to the "front line" by the Indonesian army at any time.

This is why the Chief of Staff and Commander-in-Chief of East Timor need good physical and marksmanship, because they will become frontline fighters at any time and pick up assault rifles to shoot at Indonesian soldiers. Without good physical and marksmanship and enough luck, let alone winning the battle, they can't even escape.

When the Indonesian army launched a "decapitation operation" against the Tongan Front's command structure here, the Tongan Front's Chief of Staff who was in command here immediately issued an order to "run, the faster the better!" Of course, the Tongan Front's running also has its own rules. Who goes first, who goes later, whose team is responsible for containment, and whose team must be prepared to pull the "glory bullet" were all deployed in advance.

Moreover, the Tongkat Ali troops did not just run around in the open space, that was purely to serve as a target for the Indonesian army. They first entered the tunnel connected to the cave, and then crawled out from the end of the tunnel, inside the endless rainforest. If the Indonesian army rashly chased directly into the tunnel, the Tongkat Ali guerrillas ambushed in the tunnel would block the passage with their bodies.

When the two bodyguard players followed the team out of the tunnel, they finally came to a higher place covered by trees. They did not hear any gunfire from the Indonesian army nearby. However, it was really difficult to gain a foothold in the place where they climbed out of the tunnel. It was difficult to stand firmly without grabbing something for support.

"Oh my god, is this a goat trail? Why is the tunnel exit located in such a place?"

The dusty-faced chief of staff heard what the Giant God Security said and replied casually: "Well, the open area below is very suitable for landing. It is very flat. The exit of our previous tunnel is right there, but

Now look at it..."

The open ground was littered with uprooted trees, and some huge trees were still standing, with no leaves on their outstretched branches, which had been stripped clean by the chemical bombs. The ghostly silhouettes of the branches stretched toward the low, dark sky.

Even reporters like Williams were deeply shocked and muttered: "This is just like the fucking Vietnam battlefield..."

At this point, the Chief of Staff said: "We should be thankful

Indonesia is not a real giant like the United States, otherwise the Indonesians would have left the entire East Timor barren. The reason why they left us some forests is probably because the use of chemical weapons is also very costly... Let's go, we still have to keep going until the next hidden

It is not safe before the shelter. I hope the commander-in-chief can also break through smoothly... Williams, I have to remind you and your companions that the road behind is not easy to walk. It is really deep into the tropical rainforest. In those places, you have to build roads and bridges every time you walk a section. "

Soon, Williams and his companions realized how much weight that light "not easy to walk" had. As they passed through the jungle, small green leeches fell from the branches, soft and cold, like drops of water. When blood flowed out, they realized something was wrong. In the dense forest, the marchers' backpacks were heavy from the rain.

They were so exhausted that they could not walk straight. Then, under the scorching sun, they sweated profusely and felt suffocated by the heat. The person at the end of the group had to wave the branches back and forth to remove the traces of their footsteps.

Let the Indonesian army discover it.

It was also during this journey that the Chief of Staff told Williams about the most difficult period of the Tongan K' movement, when the entire Tongan K' organization almost collapsed and the number of members was severely reduced. It was at that time that

The remaining leaders, led by Gusmao and Alex, reorganized with the "50 Eastern Desperadoes" and split up into smaller groups.

Go to the mountains and forests where few people go, let each resistance group decide their own actions independently, and use more flexible tactics, first to avoid being caught in one fell swoop, and then plan for development.

The Indonesian army believed that the guerrillas hiding in the mountains and rainforests would be swallowed up by nature, but the Indonesian army underestimated the enemy and allowed the scattered East

The Revolutionary Front slowly infiltrated the Indonesian army's blockade and began to carry out activities in the Indonesian-controlled area, constantly organizing small-scale harassment wars and fighting

While striking down the enemy, it also regained support in the vast rural areas.

"But you still failed. Indonesia is a terrible neighbor that you cannot move away. They failed seven or eight times without any serious damage, but you may be wiped out if you fail once." Maybe it's because the road is too difficult, or maybe it's for other reasons, Williams said, "Will you be blessed by good luck this time like last time?"

"I don't know. I can only tell you that we will always fight to give hope to the people of East Timor."

Chapter 66: Accepting the Task at a Time of Defeat

In the Tatamailao Mountain area in the central-western part of East Timor, the vast majority of the more than one hundred players who have entered East Timor have arrived here, and the rest are gathering here.

Mist filled the mountains, and dewdrops flickered faintly on the grass. The player's team and the guerrillas dragged their tired bodies and marched hard in this rugged terrain. They had just escaped from a large-scale raid by the Indonesian army, and they almost died. Many people's faces were covered with dirt and blood. They looked embarrassed. Many of them were injured and had to carry the seriously injured on stretchers. Their movements were much slower than before.

In order to help the injured guerrillas stop bleeding, the players' own bandages and medicines are almost used up. What's worse is that as the players' resurrection points are destroyed, the players can't completely ignore the problem of "death" at this time, because the players are now marching with tents and other camp supplies, and they can't set up resurrection points during the march. This means that once they are attacked on the road, they can't return to the resurrection point to replenish their combat power in a short time. Even worse, if the players are completely wiped out during the march...

Then we have to rely entirely on players in other parts of East Timor to find a way to build another base and use it as the player's resurrection point, otherwise the players will have to repeat the process of entering East Timor from a foreign country.

Continuous marching makes the player's character in the game have various debuffs. Fatigue, hunger, lack of concentration, these debuffs will undoubtedly reduce the combat effectiveness of the game character, such as reduced movement speed, larger shaking amplitude of the gun god when aiming, etc. Of course, this is just the character grenade in the game. Players can still eat takeout, blow air conditioning, and sigh comfortably that the NPCs in the game and themselves have suffered a lot.

Suddenly, Yu Bo saw an NPC found him. That person was the guard of the commander of the western division of the entire Dongge Front. He found Yu Bo and said, "Please let the team stop and rest. Our commander is dying. He said that if the team keeps running like this, it will collapse."

"No, we just escaped from the Indonesian blockade not far away, they may react at any time, and then..."

"Brother Bo, why don't we take a break? I observed that when we first entered the rainforest, there were more than 400 NPCs following us. Now it seems that there are less than 200. Too many people have fallen behind. This is a tropical rainforest. They can barely identify the direction and catch up during the day, but it's hard to say at night. In addition, most of our game characters have run out of stamina. If we keep running, we will get some serious debuffs..."

"OK, let's take a break and gather up the ones who have fallen behind. This is a good opportunity for everyone to restore their energy..."

"Okay, I'll go check on the injured NPCs and gain some experience in my secondary skills..."

"What did you minor in?"

"Um, first aid and veterinary..."

Unconsciously, the players have deeply influenced the organization and command system of the Xingdong single-line guerrillas. It can be said that if it were not for the intervention of the players, the number of Western Division guerrillas who could enter the rain forest would be only 400 instead of 400.

You can trust the most powerful people in the team, even if they are not from your team...

After receiving the order to rest, many guerrillas' legs softened almost immediately, and they sat down or lay down leaning against trees. Everyone was silent, and even talking was considered a serious waste of energy. In the middle of the team, the commander of the guerrillas in the western division was lying on a simple stretcher. At this time, this commander with hair and beard, who looked like a tramp, was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. Every breath seemed so labored.

When the guards invited Yu Bo and another player who was a minor in first aid to their commander, the commander was already very weak when he spoke. On the other side, the player who was a minor in first aid didn't say anything good. Instead, he repeated to Yu Bo the inner monologue of the game character when he was bandaging to stop the bleeding: "This person has little chance of survival. He has already lost a lot of blood before the bandage. The conditions here don't allow us to do it now."

Even if I have the conditions, I won't...1 is not a real official. If he loses a little more blood, he will be dead. I guess there is a lot of blood in his body.

A few bullets and fragments, even if you are immediately taken by helicopter to the best hospital in Dili, the probability of survival is very low. "

At this time, the commander, who was running out of energy, pulled Yu Bo's hand with all his strength and said something that surprised Yu Bo and other players: "I don't have much time... I have a request. I ask you to lead this team until the Tongan Front headquarters sends a new division commander..."

"why me?"

The commander took a deep breath, a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he spoke fluently as if it was a flash of light:

"All our battalion and company commanders were killed, and there are not many platoon commanders left. In the guerrillas, only the bravest can become commanders, but the bravest are often the first to die. I know the abilities of those platoon commanders, and they have never received any training.

The officers were poorly trained and could only command the remaining soldiers with only two clouds. They were unable to command the remaining soldiers in such a critical situation.

Hundreds of people survived the hard times, and even had internal strife... But you and your warriors, everyone admires your courage and ability, you can lead them out of the desperate situation... "

Yu Bo did not try to refuse or humbly decline, but nodded and agreed. The commander, who was holding on to his last breath, issued a final order to the team. He asked all the surviving squad officers to come to him, and then asked his guards to hand a red flag with five white stars to Yu Bo.

“I have handed over the command of the team to this international friend who has come all the way to East Timor to help us. You must follow this flag and obey his orders until the TURP headquarters sends a new commander to take over here.”

When the old commander passed away, the sun was rising.

The sun shone on the Tatamailao Mountains, taking away some of the heat from the afterglow of entering the NPC.

Bo is still confused now. The last time he was in the AR training class of the second-year students, he went to train the freshmen himself.

Stand at attention, at ease, march in step, but now, he has to manage these hundreds of people

The eating, drinking, and defecation of the strike team members in the deep mountains and old forests. The NCg function of this game is not comparable to ordinary games. It has already shown the impact of the +-player game content. You know, managing hundreds of NPCs is almost

It is equivalent to managing hundreds of people in reality.

But fortunately, the aftermath can still be obtained from the vast player community

The first thing to solve is the old problem of hundreds of NPCs eating and drinking your water. So, he specially posted a notice in the chat group: "Wait for us to

We'll set up camp here, and after we get the resurrection point ready, if the players in the county want to commit suicide and resurrect here, remember to put compressed biscuits, chocolate and water purification tablets in their mouths! We don't need to

The key to arms is food and drink!"

Chapter 67: I Lead the Guerrillas in East Timor

Guerrillas, guerrillas, it sounds like they are elusive and powerful, but to really lead a group of hundreds of exhausted, wounded, demoralized and starving guerrillas like this, not only the aftermath, but also the players who came to Tatamailao Mountain were worried.

After setting up camp in the deep mountains and forests, the first resurrection point was established. People from other branches committed suicide and then resurrected with compressed biscuits.

The arrival of the new player, Dry and Water Purification Tablets, allowed this guerrilla force of several hundred people to barely have something to eat to fill their stomachs.

But if we rely on this method to feed the guerrillas, it will be a huge waste of limited transportation capacity, and it will also limit the guerrillas' combat effectiveness (how can they have any combat effectiveness if they can barely survive starvation?) and the expansion of their numbers (there is not enough food).

The canopy of the rainforest towered into the clouds, and the dense leaves blocked most of the light, but occasionally one or two rays of sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and sprinkled on the ground, forming mottled light and shadows. The simple camp that could barely serve as a resurrection point was hidden behind a dense bush. A few pieces of tattered waterproof cloth were used to build a simple tent, and some messy equipment and supplies were piled around it.

In the center of the camp, some tree stumps and stones formed a temporary meeting area. The new commander, Yu Bo, sat on a slightly larger stone. He had a scruffy beard and was too lazy to comb his hair. He tapped his knees with his fingers and looked around. Except for the few players who came to watch the fun and support Yu Bo, the guerrillas crowded together in several circles were all NPCs. They were squad and platoon commanders and soldier representatives elected by the soldiers. There was still mud and blood on their clothes, but after eating and resting for a while, everyone had recovered a lot of their strength and looked better than when they fled in a panic. At least there were no obviously dejected people.

"There is no way out of hiding in the forest all the time. Trying to survive like primitive people? Then we will face food shortages at any time, lack of food and clothing, no shelter, lack of salt leading to physical fatigue... In short, the most urgent task is to let the guerrillas survive in the Tatamailao Mountains. And I think there is no way out of relying on our own self-reliance in the forest. We must get in touch with the outside world and get supplies from the outside world. Do you agree with this? Raise your hands if you agree!"

There were almost no guerrillas who disagreed with Yu Bo's words, or in other words, correct nonsense. But the scene of many people raising their hands in agreement looked like everyone was supporting the speech of the new leader. Then, Yu Bo turned around and asked these guerrillas who had survived a narrow escape from death: "I have heard about your history from your previous commander. Many years ago, you also encountered such a desperate situation and finally survived in a desperate situation. I would like to ask you to tell me, how did you get through it before?"

The situation in East Timor looks like Jakarta only needs to exert a little effort, and then the small Tongan Front will be wiped out. After the first phase of the Indonesian military's thunderous sweep, the Tongan Front's movements became much smaller, and many strongholds were uprooted. Those people and local officials who were investigated by the Indonesian secret service for providing assistance to the guerrillas were all subjected to bloody revenge without exception. The Indonesian military will not buy off the East Timorese with benefits. Compared with giving up benefits, the military is better at spreading terror to maintain its rule.

The Indonesian soldiers believed that as long as the terror I spread was scary enough, the East Timorese would definitely succumb. If they did not succumb, then

The terror I spread was not enough to shock people, so the Indonesian army and pro-Indonesian militias carried out torture on those who had helped the guerrillas and their families, including but not limited to digging out their hearts, skinning, dismembering, burning, burying alive, gouging out their eyes, cutting off their ears, cutting off their breasts, and disemboweling them.

Belly and other means.

As for the settlements that were found to have provided assistance to the guerrillas

The Indonesian military considered them as typical examples of "stubbornness" and they must be more strictly managed. The Indonesian military thought, "We worked hard to run education (Indonesian education) in East Timor, and we risked our lives to drive out the Portuguese colonists." But for more than 20 years, you have not

Not only are they not grateful for Indonesia's "good governance", but they are also providing assistance to the guerrillas?

Must strike hard!

The Indonesian army came up with a more severe concentration camp-style management to squeeze East Timor's labor resources to the extreme, using the old routine again. First, they used hunger to tame these East Timorese.

Then, the Indonesian military captured men as slave laborers, cutting sandalwood, planting coffee, and repairing infrastructure for the Indonesians; and then turned women into slaves to sell their bodies, on the one hand for the Indonesian soldiers to enjoy themselves, on the other hand, some of the more beautiful ones were sold to Jakarta, and then from Jakarta

Set out to sell all over the world.

It can be said that what the Portuguese did here centuries ago,

The Indonesians did it all again in East Timor, with an upgraded version.

Kind.

But the Indonesian army cannot station a heavy force in every village in East Timor.

It is impossible to build a series of heavily guarded sieges around the rainforest and mountainous areas.
