I’m really here to keep the peace

Compared to the regimental headquarters, the situation of this Portuguese infantry company is still good, after all, they have only dropped about a hundred rockets, and the casualties have not exceeded double digits, which can only be regarded as a small witch compared to the regiment headquarters that encountered the attack! The Portuguese army in the northern province of Lunda Norte is not very large, but there is also a full division,

this division is responsible for the suppression task, so the station is not concentrated, but in the form of regimental battalions and companies scattered in front of the towns and villages, a unit radiates an area, and then supplemented by artillery, paratroopers and other special arms, and the Portuguese infantry regiment greeted by Zabi, his station is in Chitato, the northern border of Lunda Norte.

This is also a small border town, adjacent to the Luachim River, flat terrain, developed transportation, whether it is water or road transportation is very convenient, so for the attack here, Zabi did not hesitate to come up with the latest equipment of the guerrillas.

Simple wartime traction rocket artillery, as the name suggests, is a simple handicraft workshop produced without warranty, or even a unified standard only for emergency production of towed rocket artillery, but although simple, Shepard has prepared high-specification transportation for these rocket launchers, four-wheel pickup trucks produced by RB Toyota, these new vehicles that were only launched in 1968 have not yet made their name in Africa, but with Shepard, they are bound to make their extraordinary name in Africa earlier.

Three Toyota pickups took advantage of the darkness to drive along the road all the way outside the Portuguese military camp, without attracting anyone’s attention, because the bodies of these three pickups were stuffed with debris, and the leading black man looked like he was moving.

Such people in Hitato cannot be said to be everywhere, but from time to time you can also see a few, after all, Hitato is also a border logistics town, and it is normal for chiefs to want to live a Western life.

Then, when the night fell and the streets were empty, the guerrillas lurking in the shadows quickly appeared, quickly removed the debris piled up in the car body, assembled a full twelve launchers, and then taught the well-defended Portuguese military camp a good lesson.

Within a thousand meters, a full four hundred rockets covered the camp in two minutes, and the military camp on the outskirts of the city had a significantly lower alert level than the field camp, and even when the rockets fell, half of the sentries in the camp were not at their posts.

And the results of this wave of attacks were not bad, the war room of the Portuguese regiment headquarters was bombarded into the sky, with a little and two unlucky orderlies working inside, and the soldiers who were wandering around the camp were also affected, almost ten people were blown away, and the shock wave even tore their clothes.

Even a rocket landed outside the regiment commander’s dormitory, and although it did not cause any fatal damage, it shattered the regiment commander’s beloved ceramic tea set, and the exploding sand poured into his room, causing a mess.

After firing the rockets, the guerrillas took advantage of the fact that everyone did not have time to react, got into a Toyota pickup truck and ran all the way, sneaking out of the city before the Portuguese army could react.

These two waves of attacks actually caused not much damage, in total, only a dozen people died, but this is like a big slap in the face to the young man, no physical damage, but the psychological trauma is unimaginable, the Portuguese army used to be the one who dropped bombs everywhere, but now the two sides are opposite, the guerrillas attacked the heavily fortified Portuguese military camp with rockets, and even fled after the attack, which made all the Portuguese officers only feel hot pain on their faces.

After being attacked, the Portuguese garrison immediately dispatched all and began to sweep up all the guerrilla activity areas within its own range, and the commander even issued a large bounty, demanding to catch the culprit of the attack, but Zabi is no longer the simple guerrilla leader in the past, he is now taught by Shepard and deeply understands what is called advancing and retreating, so after the attack, he immediately led his men to retreat to the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and even he deliberately left a few empty camps, And let his own people pretend to be treacherous to show the way to the Portuguese in order to confuse the public.

The Portuguese carried out a sweep with great fanfare for many days, using countless manpower and material resources, but in the end, nothing was found except for the investigation and punishment of three empty guerrilla camps. Even the bounty was messed up, and there were

countless black uncles who came to snitch, but few people brought useful information, this said it was a cow, that said a horse, and even some people threw the pot at the Soviet guerrillas operating in central Angola, and the garrison commander could not screen any useful information at all, and finally could only drive these miscreant people out of their barracks.

Zabi, after the attack, returned to Angola again, this time he did not plan any attack, but ran to the central region, met with his distant uncle, and decisively presented the latter with instructions for the use of rockets, and Savimbi although he did not see the other party’s small fight, but the rockets did attract his attention, so he also began to use his own channels to start searching for useful rockets.

And several of Zabi’s successes have also spread further afield through the mouths of the people, and now the guerrillas throughout Angola know that a colleague hit the Portuguese in the face with a rocket, although most of the black uncles could not read a single word, but they knew what was good and what was bad, plus Zabi scattered his own pamphlets all over the streets, so in less than a month, the central Angola region, as well as the Soviet-backed guerrillas active in the capital region, also pulled out their rockets.

These large-caliber rockets, which also carry Siberian cold winds, are much more fierce than the RP3, far better than the RP3 in terms of range and power, so the pain caused to the Portuguese army in the central region is even worse.

Of course, the Portuguese army is naturally not vegetarian, and with the intensifying rocket attacks, they have also strengthened the sweep and blockade of the controlled area, and continue to invest more vigorously in counterattacks, aircraft bombing and artillery volleys in turn, making this Angolan chicken race enter a climactic state again.

In this climactic chicken eating competition, Shepard is getting closer to his original goal.
