Although it is not surprising that various tactical problems arise under the African matching mechanism, perhaps it is the inherent properties of this magical land. The Portuguese garrison that has been here for a long time also inexplicably began to have problems at this moment.
While the guerrillas were chasing the defeated policemen, the garrison commander was still enjoying his afternoon tea leisurely. He had just received news that the patrol he sent out had found the ambushed supply truck and was chasing those Bored farmer.
In fact, not only the commander, but also the garrison sentries were yawning in the shadow of the sentry, and then, messy gunshots came from the city center.
Before the garrison could figure out what was going on, they saw a dozen policemen running out of the street corner in a hurry. These guys startled the sentry. Before the police could get closer, fierce gunshots started coming from very close. There was a sound, and immediately, a dozen black uncles wearing messy military uniforms, waving weapons, chased out from the corner where the police had just appeared.
Then, both the garrison and the guerrillas chasing the police entered a state of hesitation, because the guerrillas thought that the garrison had been transferred away, while the garrison was unable to figure out the identity of the other party.
After hesitating for a few seconds, these passionate guerrillas resolutely launched a charge towards the garrison camp.
Their sudden attack made the sentries who were in a comfortable state subconsciously choose to retreat, so the first gate and courtyard wall of the military camp were easily taken down by the guerrillas.
After retreating to the second courtyard wall, the sentry realized that it seemed that the guerrillas were attacking. The Portuguese garrison, who reacted from the surprise, immediately sounded the alarm and began to exchange fire with the guerrillas.
In the chaotic fighting situation, the garrison did not have time to conduct intelligence screening. After asking a few policemen who ran through the gate, they found out that a guerrilla group had just attacked the police station, and now the entire city was occupied by the enemy.
The garrison commander was paralyzed at that time. If the guerrilla brigade was in the city, what was he sending the combat troops on hand to pursue?
But seeing the large number of guerrillas besieging the gate and the intensive firepower, coupled with the gunshots coming from time to time in the city, the garrison commander immediately determined that he had been fooled. The guerrillas had mobilized their large troops out just for a sneak attack. Own.
So he began to urgently call the patrol team sent out, asking them to rescue the base quickly. As a result, the patrol team was also stupid. They chased dozens of black uncles outside for more than ten kilometers. It turned out that these guys were bait?
Now that there are two people in the city and outside the city, everyone suddenly hesitated. If the guerrillas in the city are the main force, will the patrol team returning to support be ambushed?
There was no way. As a commander, you must give priority to the worst-case scenario. After thinking about it for a few seconds, the garrison commander clapped his hands.
"I see!"
"These guerrillas must be trying to move the garrison out to attack the city, and then ambush us!"
The garrison commander had just carefully questioned the police. There were hundreds of guerrillas besieging the police station. They fought fiercely with each other and killed and injured dozens of guerrillas before they were forced to evacuate because they ran out of ammunition and food. In other words, it is only a small group of top soldiers of the guerrillas who are besieging the camp now, and the large army is still behind!
As for the equipment of the guerrillas, the police boasted even more outrageously. In addition to automatic weapons, the guerrillas even had cannons!
The garrison commander immediately fell into a serious misjudgment due to this nonsense information that was made to exonerate him, and he did not even dare to send someone to verify the situation.
So in order to ensure that nothing happened to his battalion, the garrison commander immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat.
"Let's abandon the camp and join the patrol!"
Since the guerrillas have a large number of people and cannons, there is no point in defending the military camp. It is better to give up the city, then gather the troops and fight again!
So the dozens of remaining garrison troops in the military camp began to prepare for the aftermath, and they wanted to destroy the materials that could not be taken away.
On the other end, Zabi, who discovered that his men had destroyed the radio station, did not hesitate. He ordered his men to fire retreat flares and prepare to evacuate. But as soon as he went out, he found his men wandering in twos and threes on the streets of the city.
After learning about the dire current situation of the second team, Zabi had to give up the idea of a quick retreat and instead began to gather his men. He dispersed the few veterans and ordered them to bring back those running around, and then , Zabi learned from his men who ran back that there were actually a large number of Portuguese troops stationed at the garrison camp.
"It's over!"
Knowing that his side was completely unable to fight against the regular army, Zabi could only anxiously lead his men to retreat while gathering the troops. After the observation posts garrisoned at high places saw the guerrillas gathering, they mistakenly thought that the other side was about to launch a general attack, and hurriedly issued a warning Early warning.
The garrison commander was extremely anxious. In order to prevent himself from being annihilated, he could only let his men blast the supplies in the camp, and then began to evacuate towards the side of the city with his troops.
The loud noises made by the exploded military supplies also startled Zabi. He thought the garrison's artillery had opened fire. Having seen the power of the artillery, he quickly fled to the other side of the city with the remaining people.
And the raid was not over yet. After both sides chose to evacuate due to misjudgment, the Portuguese garrison quickly completed the assembly and returned outside Dundo five hours later, preparing to attack the city that fell in the hands of the guerrillas. City.
Under the cover of mortars and machine guns, the assembled Portuguese regular troops cautiously approached the city. They were ready for night battles and street fighting. The mortars carried a large number of illumination bombs, striving to recapture the city in one night. .
Therefore, the Portuguese, who were mentally prepared to fight to the end, loaded their bayonets and guns, and with serious expressions began to carry out operations to recapture the city at night. Each attack spearhead had a clear division of labor, and they watched every move on the streets vigilantly.
But until they fought their way back to the military camp they had abandoned before, they still did not encounter the large enemy force as expected. Instead, it was because of the darkness that their own men almost went on fire.
The commander didn't know what the guerrillas wanted to do. Having been raided during the day, he naturally assumed that the guerrillas might have withdrawn outside the city and were preparing to attack him again.
"Be vigilant, brothers, the enemy must be hiding in the shadows waiting to kill us!"
If they couldn't figure out the enemy's movements, they could only be vigilant everywhere. The entire Portuguese battalion kept vigilantly until the next morning, and then they discovered that their counterattack yesterday was a complete waste, because the enemy was long gone!
