"They're coming in!"
"Retreat, retreat, let them in!"
After a tunnel entrance was discovered by Portuguese paratroopers, the paratrooper commander selected a suicide squad and sent them to try to find a breakthrough through this entrance. This suicide squad, composed of veterans and non-commissioned officers, also lived up to expectations.
In order to seize the tunnel, they even set up light machine guns in a narrow space to fire. In the narrow space, the deafening sound of gunfire and the flame exhaust gas caused by the bullets all rushed towards the death squads at one end of the tunnel, while on the other side On the side, the guerrillas who were unable to lift their heads under the weight of bullets also set up their machine guns in a decent manner, and the two sides began a fierce exchange of fire in the narrow passage.
A machine gunner fell, and his body was quickly dragged away by his teammates, and then the next person was replaced. In less than a minute, the death squads replaced four shooters, and the guerrillas also dropped three corpses.
Seeing that the Portuguese army was desperate to seize the passage, the guerrillas had no choice but to give up their defense and start to retreat. Then when the Portuguese army went tens of meters deep into the tunnel and entered the ammunition storage room in the tunnel, they painfully discovered that this basement was actually still there. Tunnels connecting these four different directions.
"This is a bottomless pit!"
A noncommissioned officer kicked the corpse on the ground angrily. There were no more than a hundred of them in the company. Currently, one-tenth of the number was reduced in the battle. Even if the remaining people were filled in, they would not be able to control the entire tunnel network, let alone During this period, there was also a firefight with the guerrillas.
The paratrooper company commander also knew about this problem, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas. He hoped that the infantry battalion commander would also transfer the infantry company in the camp. Although the latter agreed, it would take time for the reinforcements to arrive. The attack could not stop just like that, so the infantry battalion commander could only let his infantry separate into a platoon and follow the paratroopers and guerrillas in an authentic fight.
After a whole afternoon of fierce fighting, the Portuguese army finally pushed back to the offensive line at noon. This time they not only controlled the ground, but even controlled nearly one-sixth of the tunnel network, and killed eight guerrillas. The soldiers, so to speak, were just waiting for reinforcements to arrive so they could wipe out the remaining villages!
But the attacking Portuguese never expected that the tunnel area they controlled was completely released by the guerrillas!
Although Zabi was on the front line in person, at certain critical moments, he still relied on Shepard, who was thousands of miles away. After learning that the Portuguese army began to compete with the tunnels, Shepard directly asked Zabi's people to After losing ground, they gave up part of the area.
"If you can't keep it, then let them keep it!"
Although Shepard is not proficient in tunnel warfare, he can be considered to have some understanding of it. For the attacker, a well-developed tunnel network must be a target to capture, because this can compress the defensive activity area, but most of them The premise is that they have controlled all tunnel exits.
The number of Portuguese troops participating in the sweep was only two companies, and the number of strengthened artillery and other units was only more than 200. One-third of these people were allocated for defense and control, and the remaining two-thirds were all There are only 130 people involved in the village battle. Once these people start to divide their forces to defend the tunnel exit and compete for control of the tunnel, they will eventually face a shortage of manpower, both on the ground and on the surface.
It's okay during the day, because the visual range can ensure that the Portuguese army has a firm grasp of its control area, but at night, the problem of insufficient manpower will become apparent, because the number of people cannot fully monitor the entire village. Therefore, the guerrillas want to do There is something that the Portuguese army cannot prevent at all.
And now, as night falls, the time for the guerrillas is approaching little by little!
"At night, it's your turn, Zabi!"
"Of course, I have been preparing for a long time!"
As night fell, the Portuguese army stopped its offensive and turned to a defensive posture. The paratroopers in the village found as many comfortable places as possible for themselves to rest. The blankets and quilts left by the villagers were also divided up by them, and then Everyone began to enjoy the cold cans in their hands silently.
The infantrymen defending outside the village were much better than their colleagues in the village. Although they were in the wilderness, they had dug foxholes to protect them from the wind and rain. They could even set up a small stove to make a cup of coffee, and they were responsible for forcing the enemy. The artillerymen who fired the cannon had even dug a field stove and were gathering together to enjoy a hot meal.
Because the intelligence everyone received only said that the guerrillas were blocked in the village, the vigilant sentries did not carefully observe the field behind them, but just two hundred meters away from them, patches of turf were so abrupt. He pushed it up, and then, one by one, black uncles emerged from it.
A dozen mercenaries under Sac carefully emerged from the tunnel. After confirming that the Portuguese did not notice any problems behind them, another dozen guerrillas emerged from it. The mercenaries were not in a hurry to attack. , but continued to carry weapons from the tunnel. Soon, automatic rifles were sent out of the tunnel, followed by several boxes of grenades, and even a few mercenaries brought night vision devices that are precious to Africa. .
After getting ready, the mercenaries immediately rushed towards the mortar camp.
The sentry on guard did not realize anything was wrong until Uncle Hei touched his back. After being stabbed in the neck with a knife, he only had time to randomly pull the trigger and shoot the ground.
But it was too late. The black uncles rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from the mortar position. The artillerymen were still holding bowls and eating and drinking while chatting about dirty jokes. Then bullets and grenades fell on the people. In the pile.
The field stove filled with food was blown to pieces by the explosion, and soup and water spread all over the floor.
The unsuspecting Portuguese artillerymen immediately threw away their bowls and started running away, and the black uncles were not in a hurry to chase them. They first fired randomly at the wailing wounded soldiers on the ground, and then went straight to the mortars that had been set up. The mercenaries Very skillfully, he pulled off the ring of the grenade and threw it into the barrel. The four 60mm mortars brought by the Portuguese army turned into a pile of smoking scrap metal.
When the Portuguese army, knowing that their buttocks had been captured, hurriedly sent troops back for reinforcements, they were also shot accurately by mercenaries equipped with night vision goggles. Four infantry platoons were killed in less than three minutes, and the leader of the group was killed. The platoon leader was caught in a fire while rescuing the wounded and died on the spot.
The entire platoon of infantry was so suppressed by a few black uncles that they couldn't even lift their heads!
