I’m really here to keep the peace

By heart, Zabi Savimbi is one of the rare young talents in Africa who can get a scholarship from the colonial authorities and study in Europe, which is almost 99 percent of Africans.

It can be said that if he falls for the colonial authorities and works in the colonies for a few years, he may even become a high-ranking figure in the colonial government, the kind above 10,000 people under one person. And because of

this, Zabi also has his own pride, because he found that he even crushed those high-ranking white classmates in his studies, which gave him great self-confidence, and the few tricks taught by Shepard made him repeatedly successful in the face of the Portuguese regular army, which also gave him the illusion that he could not win in the past because of tactical problems.

Zabi completely ignored the reason why he had been able to succeed again and again, in addition to the direct support from Shepard, the remaining veterans on his hand, a considerable number of these people were educated like him, many of them even went to high school, and served in the colonial army, so their learning ability and their own quality were already much higher.

But later, as his reputation increased, most of the peasants he recruited were just peasants who came with a passion, most of these people were illiterate, did not say shooting, and could not understand orders, and this was the most deadly on the battlefield!

And these things, Shepard did not mention, Zabi’s men did not mention it, and he himself did not pay attention to it.

After setting a date for his chosen target, Zabi immediately embarked on this chosen path of resistance with his team, which was several times larger than before. He has firm confidence in the success of the plan, and this

seemingly majestic and elite guerrilla team is also full of confidence in this, after all, now it is different, before the three of them had a gun, many people did not even have clothes, but now, each person has at least one rifle, dozens of bullets on his body, and a kettle and compressed biscuits, it can be said that the guerrilla has been reborn!

In terms of march planning, Zabi also tried to refer to Shepard’s plan, such as avoiding dangerous areas and trying to choose sparsely populated areas, but the problem was that before Shepard led a small-scale operation, a team of less than twenty people through the dense forest swamp would not have any effect. And now, the team

he led is a hundred, such a team is lined up in a column, each person is more than two hundred meters long at a distance of one meter, the speed through the swamp forest will be greatly reduced, plus additional supplies, it will not achieve the effect of Shepard’s light car.

But fortunately, Zabi was a responsible leader, he always paid attention to the march of the team, and constantly ran back and forth to cheer his men, so although there were many problems during the march, at least there was no big trouble.

But then, the problem arose, it was not impossible for an armed group of hundreds to hide in the area of popular activity, but Zabi really could not do it, and his team soon came into contact with several hunters hunting in the forest.

And Zabi did not go to identify these hunters or control each other, but he enthusiastically stepped forward to greet the other party, and in order to win the hearts of the people, he also enthusiastically sent canned food to his fellow villagers. After receiving the can, several hunters turned around and reported the whereabouts of the guerrillas to the colonial police,

although the so-called guerrilla whereabouts were not taken seriously between the colonial police and the garrison because of problems in the information transmission link, but the garrison commander still gave an order to guard all his subordinate strongholds. After that, the team

had more problems, some people fell behind because of the night march, and some people misoperated their weapons and caused fire, but fortunately, the team bumped into the outskirts of the target.

Zabi then began to assign tasks, dividing his team into three parts, one to attract the Portuguese garrison by bombing the road outside the city, the second to feint an attack on the police station to attract attention, and the third team to follow him to attack the telegraph office. It can be

said that Zabi’s plan is very good, if everything can be strictly implemented, then success is actually very simple, but the problem lies with the person who carries out the plan! The

team responsible for attracting the Portuguese garrison went very well at first, using roadside bombs to blow up a garrison truck, killing the big fat pig carried on board, and capturing the hapless driver alive, and successfully attracting the patrol of the Portuguese regular army, and then the first team began to fire guns while trying to lure away the Portuguese patrol.

Then, disaster struck! The team that should have maintained the formation while retreating and fighting inexplicably began to

disintegrate, and the veterans in charge of commanding the operation found that they could not effectively transmit orders to the recruits, and the battle fought while retreating inexplicably turned into a rout, and the panicked recruits began to retreat in other directions indiscriminately, and some even turned around and hit the Portuguese gun.

But fortunately, such a chaotic situation made the Portuguese army overjoyed, the garrison commander thought that this was the entire strength of the guerrillas, and even sent his own men to pursue, although the first team inexplicably collapsed, but also exceeded the task.

The second team that attacked the police station was a complete disaster, and within five minutes of the veteran in charge of commanding the team into the city, a third of his men were scattered, and several recruits who had relatives living in the city even ran with weapons on their backs to visit relatives and friends.

But fortunately, two-thirds of the people were still in the ranks, and the veterans, according to the tactics they had learned, first attacked with grenade rain, bombed the colonial police, and then led their men to launch a charge.

The defenseless colonial police were stunned by this round of attacks, and then the police began to drop their weapons and equipment and scatter, according to the order, after breaking up the police station, the second team should stay here and wait for the retreat order, but many guerrillas saw the police scattered after the birds and beasts, spontaneously began to pursue, so after the captain of the second team who rushed into the police chief’s office went out, he found that the remaining two-thirds of the people were gone, and they scattered all over the city, looking for the police.

As for the three teams led by Zabi himself, it was okay at first, it took the partisans less than a few minutes to storm the house of the telegraph office and occupy it, but then problems came.

When the three teams were attacking, the guerrillas shot indiscriminately and destroyed the only radio station of the telegraph office, that is, Zabi’s plan failed!
