I’m really here to keep the peace

No matter what country they are in, paratroopers are out-and-out elites, especially in small countries like Portugal, not to mention, because paratroopers are not like army soldiers, they can just find a rope to go into the village and pull a large handful, and then train without training a gun can be sent to the war zone to fill the line.

Each paratrooper is very strict in just selection, because their combat method is parachute, then there are a lot of prerequisites, such as what is not afraid of heights, not airsick, in addition to not being red-green color blind, because to look at the indicator light. After selecting the paratroopers, it is

necessary to carry out various land combat training for these qualified, and after the land combat training, there is parachute training, and this is the bulk of the cost, transport aircraft, parachutes, all say that the pilots are smashed out with gold, in fact, the paratroopers are not bad, but it is just a problem of more and less quantity.

The same is true of the paratroopers of the Portuguese army, compared to their army colleagues, these paratroopers can be described as model workers, because no matter what the situation, they are the first to move!

When the army was still rushing to the combat area in a car, the paratroopers had already begun to fight from the sky, so the commander of the garrison was full of confidence in the reinforced paratroopers, after all, these strong guys in berets knew at a glance that they could fight ten or even nine times more than their subordinates.

In this case, then his previous battle plan can also be slightly changed, and the cost of hundreds of people rushing for hundreds of kilometers is not small, so he decided to cut the infantry company that was originally going to be dispatched in half, and even did not bring a towed cannon, after all, in the commander’s opinion, the guerrilla’s poor firepower to use artillery is meaningless.

Since there is no need to bring artillery, then medical soldiers and medical supplies do not need to be brought much, this raid must be an easy armed parade, the village is like a broken house, just need to kick yourself lightly, it will turn into ruins!

This is not that the commander underestimated the enemy, in fact, he did a lot of homework against Zabi, and even he caught a few unlucky guerrillas who were lost before, these unlucky eggs who can’t even tell the southeast, southwest and northwest naturally don’t get much useful things in their mouths, but it doesn’t matter, after all, intelligence is to summarize the information they have collected.

Therefore, after doing enough investigation of Zabi’s team, the garrison commander was convinced that the other party was just a little clever bastard, and he might not be able to fight the other party, but if he came hard, he would lose!

After everything was ready, the garrison commander immediately took his men with confidence and killed Zabi’s hometown. Zeyo is a rare large village in Angola, because the land is fertile and can support a large population, and the village is on the edge of the forest, the village is

much better built, there are few thatched houses, and the main body of the village is mostly large blocks of mud and wood, it can be said that if there is no war, it is not impossible for this place to develop into a resort in the future.

Before the raid by the Portuguese army, Zabi carried out a forced evacuation of the entire village according to Shepard’s order, and everyone was moved to other places, at first the young and strong in the village wanted to stay to help the guerrillas, but they were also forcibly moved, Shepard was not confident that he could hold the village, so in order not to let the civilians suffer the scourge of vain, it was better to let them stay as far away as possible.

After the villagers left, Zabi’s guerrilla army entered the village, and if the Portuguese army had not started the propaganda offensive with great fanfare, but directly raided the village, then they might have hit Zabi’s current prestige through a successful raid, but now, the propaganda that lasted for many days gave Zabi more time to hoard ammunition.

As the sun rose, a paratrooper company and an infantry company also arrived on the outskirts of Zeyo and began preparations for battle. Although the Portuguese army was

not a continental power, the regular army naturally had its own regulations, and the garrison commander entrusted the burden of the attack to the most elite paratroopers, allowing them to attack from the southern side of the village near the forest, while his infantry was firmly defended in three other directions, of which the western side of the flattest village was deliberately left by the commander with a gap hundreds of meters wide.

This is a typical encirclement and three que one tactic, and it is most appropriate to clear the guerrillas, because in close crossfire, the guerrillas are not opponents of the paratroopers at all, they will often be pressed out of their defensive area by the elite paratroopers little by little, and then forced into the gap that was deliberately left, and then the infantry units in ambush can kill the unconcealed unlucky eggs like turkeys.

And the paratrooper commander did not have the slightest objection to this, after all, they were here to do this, and after receiving the order, he divided the village according to its size, like a cake, it was divided into four pieces in order from left to right and from top to bottom. He then divided his four platoons

into two groups, with each platoon responsible for a plot area, one of which was the main attack and the other was clearing, and after conquering and sweeping the two areas of AB, the two platoons would rotate, and then began to attack the two areas of CD.

According to the pre-war intelligence summary, the paratrooper commander was very sure that his people could solve the battle within two hours, after all, the intelligence also said that most of the people on the other side were recruits, and the veterans who could be used were pitiful.

So the paratrooper commander even said as if ridiculing to his platoon commanders.

“If we move quickly, we can even catch lunch at base, I can’t wait to get a cold beer!”

And the platoon commanders are equally optimistic, they have experienced countless battles, and in their opinion, this is just another boring repetition.

Then the time came 0940, and after a simple breakfast, the paratroopers in camouflage uniforms and berets began to attack according to the predetermined plan.

Although optimistic about the situation of the battle, the Portuguese paratroopers did not slack off in their attack, and they followed strict squad tactics and quickly approached the southern side of the village. One of the

squad leaders stopped at the edge of the forest, and then he hid in the shadows of the trees and vigilantly scanned the quiet village, he was sure that there was an enemy in front of him, but he could see the same earthen mud wall as far as the eye could see, and there was no trace of people.

“Am I feeling wrong?”

The squad leader hesitated for a few seconds before giving the command to move on, and then a soldier crossed him with his body and was about to move forward when a gunshot came from the village.
