I’m really here to keep the peace
Chapter 137
“Dare to attack military bases, this is no longer an ordinary guerrilla! You have to punch hard!
Generally speaking, the current resistance forces in Angola do not dare to take the initiative to attack, whether it is UNITA or SPLM, the limit of what the two largest resistance forces can do at present, that is, to be active in villages and towns, after all, the aircraft and artillery of the government army can really speak.
Although in later generations there was always talk of the other side firing incendiary bombs at Afghan villages whenever the American sky soldiers were mentioned, in fact, the Portuguese did the same, or almost most white countries did it. The Portuguese army and the
Rhodesian army would use tactical bombers to steadily bomb the guerrilla activity area, in addition to fighter safari cruises, and strafing suspicious vehicles with cannons, so in the absence of effective restraint, the rebels would try to avoid large-scale counteroffensive operations.
Although Zabi’s operation was not a successful counteroffensive, the garrison commander still remembered the other side.
After all, he caused the garrison to lose its comfortable barracks, leaving them to sleep in tents until the reconstruction was complete, so in retaliation, on the third day of Zabi’s escape back to the border forest, Portuguese warplanes bombed several suspected rebel-supported villages.
These G91 attack aircraft from the air force airfield in Luanda flew down from high altitudes like falcons with bombs and rockets, and then began to repeatedly destroy villages and farmland.
Several of the villages attacked had become miserable at the moment, huts made of thatch and mud were rudimentary, and they usually had to worry about water leaks when it was windy or rainy, and now bombs were falling from the sky, not to mention, the whole village was in shambles, and there were almost no intact buildings. Fortunately, the
casualties were not large, the civilians living here were used to such days, and most importantly, after Shepard began to fund Zabi, he began to plan for the air defense of these villages. Without anti-aircraft
guns and anti-aircraft missiles, it was only possible to rely on bomb shelters, but fortunately, the number of 227kg bombs dropped by the Portuguese was not large, and the local soil was not soft, so digging bomb shelters a few meters below these villages was particularly useful, and even villagers had made these facilities part of their daily lives, where they would store cassava and drinking water, as well as dried salted fish and dried fruits, for survival in emergencies.
Of course, when warehouses and shelters are certainly not the ultimate goal of these potholes, Shepard wants a network of tunnels, the kind of tunnel networks that can be attacked and retreated.
Shepard did not expect these potholes to connect villages within tens of miles like the vast network dug by the old-timers, he was a very realistic person, and the current human and material resources in the border control area simply did not meet the requirements for building such a huge tunnel system.
Therefore, what he envisioned was a network based on the village, which could enter and exit the village through the underground, and it was enough to divert targets!
And Shepard’s ideas coincided with a group of veterans who had dealt with Charlie, who had seen the power of these holes, but Parker still had the same condestiny as the British Empire.
“Does this thing really work?”
“Don’t underestimate this, the Boers and the Continental Army also used this back then!”
“John! The Boers lost in the end, and the Americans became independent only with the help of the French!
How could Helen not know that Shepard was connotating herself, her cultivation and Shepard’s one-meter-nine strong body did not allow her to use large ear melon seeds to fight back, so she could only pronounce Shepard’s full name to show her current attitude.
And Shepard, who was happy to see the other party’s bulging appearance, did not miss this opportunity to hit the other party.
“Why not make a bet?”
“Bet on what?”
“Just bet on whether the tunnel has an effect!”
“Okay, what about the bet?”
“If I win, you kiss me! If I lose, I’ll kiss you!
“Does it make a difference?”
“Why not? It’s completely different, right?
“Okay, then I’ll bet another five thousand dollars!” But if I win, you’ll have to run around the camp with your bare ass!
“Deal!”
Shepard was immediately overjoyed, not that he liked the five thousand dollars, but that he really wanted to try what it was like to run around the camp with his bare ass, after all, in this life he was determined to be a hardcore ruthless person who was famous in history, so he didn’t dare to run naked, how could he be famous in history?
However, because the tunnel network was not yet perfect, he could only let Zabi and his men stop for a few days, so as not to stimulate the Portuguese to launch a ground offensive, and then Shepard simply spent a dozen boxes of canned food and a dozen bags of flour to hire a large number of Congolese villagers to run to Angola, and under the hard work of hundreds of black uncles day and night, soon Zabi’s hometown, a village called Zeyo, took the lead in completing the construction of the tunnel network.
Then, Zabi, who had received Shepard’s orders, led his men to attack again, digging roads everywhere, laying mines and blowing up telephone poles, and even shooting cold guns at the Portuguese barracks at night.
Faced with such a deadly opponent, the Portuguese garrison decided not to focus on air raids this time, they wanted to combine air and ground and thoroughly teach the dead Zabi a good lesson.
To this end, the garrison commander also asked his superiors to reinforce a paratrooper company for himself, plus the two infantry companies he already had, 400 people to fight 100 people, there is no need to say who has the advantage! The garrison commander,
who thought he had won the battle, did not even hide his intentions at all, he directly let the local police and civilians spread the news, trying to intimidate Zabi and disintegrate the opponent’s combat force, but what the garrison commander did not know was that Zabi had withdrawn his recruits to the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and at the moment he was left with more than twenty veterans and a dozen black mercenaries under Sack.
Most of these people have been fighting for several years, naturally not those recruits can be compared, and even many of them are still preparing to slaughter a few Portuguese who do not know whether they are dead or alive.
And Sack’s mercenaries were even more active, because Shepard even offered them a head bounty, and killing Portuguese soldiers could earn a bounty.
Uncle Black can’t do anything else, but the enthusiasm to make money is no worse than others, in order to better earn a few head money, those mercenaries under Sark even took out their old books and fought a lot of good things in the armory store opened within the Shadow Company.
“Look, it has to be mercenary pure!”
