Then they sit back and watch while the soldiers kick around the locals and get them even more pissed off at the government. If BH has informants in the military or the capacity to monitor troop movements it will be difficult to pin them down like that.
Again, Nigeria may be different but around here the overwhelming firepower rarely has any real effect. What works (on the rare occasions when it's done) is developing good intel on safe houses, movements, leadership structures etc and moving on individuals and small units before they have a chance to respond.
