How can I put it, the Portuguese soldiers are not elite, their tactical movements are clean and neat, and they are very skillful in cooperating with each other. The wounded were rescued and returned to the defensive circle with heavy fire suppression tactics at the first time, without any sloppy actions. Defense, if the guerrillas start a light infantry charge as usual, they will suffer a big loss.
But the problem was that the guerrillas had no intention of charging at all, and they didn't even fire a few times. The only one who fired was an old hunter who was almost fifty years old. He took his old gunpowder gun and fired a shot into the air. After that, the Portuguese began to suppress the enemy with a barrage of firepower. More than a dozen automatic firepowers hit the turf, sending smoke and dust everywhere.
But they were so prepared that they did not wait for the expected attack, because just after stepping on the mine, the guerrillas had already evacuated the ambush point after confirming the results of the battle, so all the hundreds of bullets fired by the Portuguese soldiers were empty. .
Then, the supply convoy heard the deafening explosion and saw the smoke rising high.
Although the charge of the 75mm high-explosive bomb is not large, it is still powerful enough to blow over a vehicle. The power of several 75mm shells tied together can even blow over an armored vehicle.
Unfortunately, the armored vehicle of the Portuguese garrison was caught in the attack. It was an old wheeled armored vehicle from World War II with a 20mm cannon. If they encountered it head-on, the guerrillas without heavy weapons would be massacred, but Now, the car was lying upside down under the roadbed, even three wheels were missing, the chassis of the car was deformed, and the remaining two military trucks following the armored car had no good end.
The first car was also affected by the explosion because it was too close, and it overturned. Half of the dozen soldiers in the car were crushed to death, and the remaining ones were thrown out, lying on the ground with injuries all over their bodies, wailing.
The second truck was better. The shock wave of the explosion only caused the car to roll over. Not many people on the truck died, but more than half of the people in the truck suffered internal injuries due to the shock wave and explosion. Many people even looked at things with serious injuries. Shadow, and then they became the best prey for Plomri and Yi Piao's men.
After just a few rounds of firing, the Portuguese, who were blown away by the huge fireworks, lost their will to fight. They could only raise their hands and let the guerrillas fall. But to their surprise, the guerrillas who ambushed them did not Instead of killing the prisoners as before, they just disarmed the prisoners, tied them together, and then quickly cleaned up the battlefield before retreating.
What remains fresh in the memory of a sergeant is what a seemingly guerrilla commander said to him.
"We have no enmity with you. We are even happy to welcome you to our country as guests. This is not your war. Go home!"
For the Portuguese army, this attack was just a daily occurrence and did not cause the slightest disturbance, because they suffered too many attacks every day. But for the Zabi guerrillas, this was their first time They found that victory came so easily. Not only did they seize a dozen G3 assault rifles equipped by Portuguese soldiers, they even blew up an armored vehicle.
"So, do some people still think landmines are useless?"
"It's useful, so useful!"
Zabi was nodding his head like a chicken eating rice at this moment. He had already decided that he would let his subordinates learn this. If anyone still refused to learn, he would go up and give the other party two big mouths.
"It just so happens that we still have some renovated gifts there, so let's give them away too!"
Shepard was also addicted. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and give the Portuguese a little Afghan shock.
Immediately, in the next month, the guerrillas attacked everywhere and dropped bombs everywhere. They first threw a bundle of cluster grenades into the unattended local colonial police station late one night, and then planted a bomb at the door of the police station. Tripwire mines were used, so the local servants who came after hearing the explosion were hit, and three were injured on the spot.
Then, the guerrillas attacked a supply truck full of flour, butter and vegetables. They looted the truck and took away all the supplies they could. What they couldn't take away, they distributed to the local people. Mines were laid under the car, so two more unfortunates from the Portuguese army who arrived later had to be carried back to the hospital.
In short, the guerrillas almost seemed addicted to the game and began to attack the lone, unattended Portuguese stronghold with heavy blows. Explosions one after another resounded through the night sky.
The Portuguese garrison commander in the northern border province of Angola realized something was wrong at this time, because the losses caused by this series of attacks were not serious. The total number of wounded was only a dozen, and the material losses were just that, at most. Some flour pork was snatched away, but then, he noticed something was wrong.
Because his men, whether they were regular soldiers or local servants, even had some resistance to going out on patrol. Many of them had witnessed the way their companions were injured. The guerrilla mines were not fatal, but they were extremely powerful. Painful, even one unlucky little brother was chipped away by shrapnel.
In regular field battles with the enemy, they can at least see where the enemy is. Even if they are killed by bullets, it will be instantaneous, and at least they will not have to bear the pain. But with those landmines, you won't even know it before they are detonated. Where the thing is and whether it will explode is also a question. It's okay if it doesn't explode, but what if it does?
Many soldiers shuddered when they thought of the miserable appearance of the friendly troops.
Only then did the commander realize that those things that were as sharp as children's toys had such a serious impact on the morale of his subordinates.
What annoys him even more is that such attacks are still continuing, and the targets are not limited to checkpoints and outposts. Some people are even laying mines outside the road of the garrison barracks, and his people have even been attacked. Although The final result was that the truck suffered some damage and there were no casualties, but it made his entire regiment have a little fear of dirt roads.
This causes soldiers to selectively travel under the roadbed when they go out to perform tasks, leaving the road to the vehicles.
Faced with such a situation, the garrison commander couldn't even come up with any good solution. He could only send a report and ask the people above to send him some more engineers, or send some minesweepers to sweep it himself.
"These damn guerrillas, why did they suddenly become enlightened?"
