The so-called asymmetric warfare means that the two combatants are completely asymmetrical. Just like the war in Afghanistan, the United States and the local resistance forces are completely one adult and one child.
In such a war, it is naturally impossible for the two sides to break out into any big scenes. It is already rare for TLB to gather dozens or hundreds of people to launch an attack, and large-scale offensive battles only begin after the US military withdraws.
Therefore, Shepard did not expect to let the Angolan guerrillas fight regular battles with the Portuguese army, because that would mean death. Therefore, the sneaky and piecemeal tactics were the most suitable for them.
When a certain country's army was reborn and transformed from the world's number one light infantry, in the Promised Land of God where the Palestinians and Jews were constantly in conflict, another elite force that was very good at asymmetric warfare was quietly emerging. From a certain aspect It is said that Lebanon’s Pearl Party guerrillas can be called a standard model of modern asymmetric warfare, because in 2006 they broke the invincible stamp of Zion people in several Middle East wars and gave the world a good example. a lesson.
And Shepard happened to know a little bit about it.
"So, we don't need to teach those people how to dig trenches or build bunkers, because it's useless at all. What they need is how to make traps, how to make explosives, how to dig tunnels. In other words, how can Charlie be there? If Vietnam attacks you, teach them how to do it!”
"I always feel like the boss is scolding us!"
"After all, we're going to be like Charlie now!"
A group of PMCs also wearing camouflage hoods were like primary school students, sitting in front of the blackboard and listening to Shepard's plan.
These dozen or so people are all old people from Shadow Company, and most of them have served in SOG. Later, they had to retire from active service due to injuries and other factors. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as before, their skills have never deteriorated, and they even served in a certain Some aspects have been further advanced.
What they are good at is nothing more than how to cause destruction and how to make their enemies tremble.
"So, all you need is these, teach them how to make time bombs with the tools at hand, teach them how to dig tunnels, that's enough!"
Shepard is not talking nonsense. Although tunnel mines sound very old, they are actually not outdated at all in terms of use. In the most tragic defeat of the Zion people, they even dispatched armored brigades and The paratroopers, with a combat strength of close to tens of thousands, were unable to shake the Pearl Party position with only 150 people stationed. On the contrary, their own troops continued to suffer losses, which led to low morale. The Pearl Party's magic weapon was their all-round attack. Authentic network.
The dozen or so students sent by Zabi didn't even care about what they were going to learn. They thought they were going to learn how to command a hundred guerrillas with only rifles to defeat a thousand guerrillas equipped with tanks and armored vehicles head-on. Portuguese regular army.
"What are these things of yours for?"
"Look, I just said these guys don't believe it!"
Plumli looked like he was watching a good show, but Zabi was a little embarrassed. After all, these were his own people. He wanted to scold his own people severely, but was interrupted by Shepard.
"You think these are useless, don't you?"
"Of course, we have to learn something more powerful!"
Uncle Hei, who also studied abroad and drank foreign ink, said proudly.
"That's easy to handle. In that case, do you mind letting us give you a demonstration?"
Shepard looked at Zabi, who immediately changed his face and tried to stop Shepard from having such a crazy idea.
"Mr. Price, there's no need for this. These guys don't want to learn. I'll replace them with a group of people who are willing to learn! Angola is very dangerous, and it's hard to ensure safety if you go there!"
"It's okay, my legs are on me!"
Shepard's desire to win has been aroused. In this case, he really doesn't mind teaching these black uncles a good lesson.
"Captain MacMillan, take your brothers and come with me!"
"As you command, Chief Price!"
Plumli was helpless. Shepard was someone he couldn't control at all. On the contrary, he was led by the other party to do various things every time, but what else could he say, he could only agree to the other party.
As a result, a group of British volunteers from the so-called Task Force 141 crossed the border in canoes and came to Angola.
But here, Shepard experienced the plight of the guerrillas.
They live in the hot and humid rainforest with mosquitoes, and their daily supplies can only rely on hunting and fishing. Although there are seven or eight villages nearby, due to the high-pressure policies of the Portuguese and the large number of spies selling information, the guerrillas The team could not move forward.
But there are advantages. Shepard doesn't even have to look for targets because there are so many targets to choose from. Less than sixty kilometers away from him, there is a Portuguese regular army checkpoint, where a platoon of thirty regular soldiers is stationed. and more than a hundred local militiamen.
This checkpoint controls tens of square kilometers of the surrounding area, and also monitors the ineffective national border. Giving them a hard slap would be like giving someone a slap in the face in broad daylight.
"So, do you have any information about this place?"
"A few, but not much!"
Zabi told everything he knew, including the name of the garrison commander, where he was from, what he liked to do, and other basic information about the garrison.
"Their supplies are delivered every two weeks?"
"Yes, you want to attack the supply convoy? But they will send armed jeeps and regular troops to protect it!"
Zabi was a little surprised. They had used this trick before, but they couldn't defeat their opponents at all. The Portuguese also had radio stations. Once they were attacked, armored vehicles would come with a large group of troops to support them. They couldn't defeat them at all!
"So why do you always think about annihilating your opponents? With your strength, you simply can't do it. So, why don't you set your goal lower and embarrass your opponents?"
"But?"
"It's nothing, Mr. Zabi, just let your people watch!"
Shepard was confident, but the men he brought were confused. After all, they didn't bring any rocket launchers or light machine guns, only a few bombs modified from artillery shells and some simple mines made from iron cans.
"So, what is your plan, to ambush the convoy? Then I suggest that the Apple team be transferred over. We can annihilate the target within five minutes!"
"Annihilate what? Who said we want to annihilate the supply convoy?"
Shepard rolled his eyes.
"I'm ready to attack their large army!"
"What?"
