"Dividing attack" is not a difficult word for Zabi to understand. As a rare awakened person who studied in Europe, Zabi has always been dismissive of tribal vendettas and tribal conflicts.
Even before joining forces with Shepard, he tried to unite other tribes, hoping to join in the grand event and achieve something big. But it was obvious that none of the tribes he found could achieve anything big, or they were scared out of their wits by the raids. , or betrayed the cause and became a lackey of the Portuguese.
And now, there seems to be some new hope for his joint cause.
"So what should we do now?"
"Combine one faction, fight another faction, and kill the chicken to show the monkey!"
Shepard's first target was the Bakongo tribe in the central oil field area. They had close contacts with the Portuguese. The chief was a middle-aged man in his forties with six wives. Almost two-thirds of his tribe were young. Everyone served in the servant army, and those who remained worked in the oil fields.
Of course, despite close cooperation with the Portuguese, this tribe is not necessarily doing well. Except for a few middle-level and high-level people, most civilians are equivalent to abject poverty. Although they sit on the oil fields and can get a fraction of the income, these All the money was used by the chief for his own luxurious life.
At a young age, he already owns a luxurious European villa of 400 square meters, as well as a limited-edition sports car from Europe. The Portuguese army even sent guards outside his villa to protect this model of cooperation.
With guards from the overlord country, it is still a bit difficult to kill him directly. It's not that Shepard doesn't have elite snipers or blasters, but that this guy lives in seclusion and usually either enjoys life in his own territory or goes to work. Go to the developer conference organized by the Portuguese military officers. Besides, there is basically no time to make a fuss.
However, since there are big ones, there are also small ones. The tribal chief cannot solve them, but his low-level officers who often receive gifts can still beat them.
Zabi first sent scouts to take photos of these guys one by one, and then issued death notices about these guys. In the notice, Zabi, as a patriot, condemned the crimes of these guys and sentenced them to death. .
Then, these printed notices were distributed everywhere by contact points and intelligence agents set up in various towns. One bold guy even threw a stack of notices into the Portuguese military camp through the high wall.
Such arrogant and domineering behavior naturally made these guys shocked and angry. They were shocked that they were offered a reward, and angry that the guerrillas dared to offer a reward. However, no matter what, as soon as the announcement came out, quite a few guys became frightened. Rimeng did not dare to go out and move around in the camp.
Of course, he is not a tough guy. A tough guy who thinks he has practiced martial arts since childhood and learned good marksmanship in the military camp dismisses the announcement and continues to drink, dance and get high. He was peeing everywhere in the bar and yelling while shaking his little brother.
"I'm right here, come and kill me!"
Then, on a pleasant weekend evening, when the iron-headed boy was going to have a drink as usual, a dirty pickup truck approached.
Before he could react, three assault rifles stretched out from the carriage, beating this guy until he was almost inhuman condition.
In addition to him, there were some people who did not believe in evil and soon lost their lives for various reasons. Some had their heads blown off by mysterious gunmen using semi-automatic sniper rifles three hundred meters away on the road. While doing some health care with the technician, he was blown to pieces by explosives that broke through the window.
And these are actually trivial, because the biggest assassination carried out by Zabi's guerrillas and Shepard's black mercenaries was to use twenty kilograms of explosives to destroy a border police station and ten people sleeping inside in the middle of the night. A colonial policeman was sent to the sky together.
One leg even flew three hundred meters away, smashed the roof of a family's house, and then fell on the thatch pile where the family slept.
The hostess was frightened by the bloody thigh and fainted on the spot, but the male host was relatively calm. He threw the thigh outside the door and then went back to sleep.
The successive assassinations put the colonial officials who cooperated with the Portuguese in danger for a while. The Portuguese garrison tried to retaliate in kind, but could not find anyone at all. Their opponents at this moment were not the farmers of the past at all. It's those guerrilla veterans and mercenaries who are like monkeys. Among other things, these guys are top-notch in their ability to run away!
Moreover, in order to support the activities of the guerrillas, Zabi began to set up secret material storage points in the Portuguese-controlled areas very early, stocking compressed biscuits and cans here, so that even if the guerrillas were unable to evacuate to the border in time, they could still find ways to survive in the jungle. Life until the end of martial law.
Facing the guerrillas who had made all kinds of preparations, the Portuguese, who could only defend passively, had no way to parry. In the past, they could still rely on aircraft and tanks to give the guerrillas a bit of color, but now, under the leadership of Zabi Next, the guerrillas in Lunda Norte did not clash head-on with the Portuguese at all. Instead, they happily indulged in small actions such as laying mines on roads, digging water pipes, cutting down telephone poles, and kidnapping lone Portuguese people. It didn't matter if the Portuguese army retaliated. Villages Tunnels and air-raid shelters were dug in each case to minimize damage. Whenever a village was attacked by the Portuguese army, the guerrillas would always launch rocket bombings on Portuguese checkpoints or outposts in the shortest possible time to counterattack.
Although this method of using civilians as shields is despicable, the effect is really good. The Portuguese army and the servant army are becoming more and more centrifugal. There are even cases where the Portuguese army stationed at outposts or checkpoints asked the large troops not to attack civilians. The situation is because every time the regular army does this, the guerrillas retaliate, and they are the ones who get beaten!
Seeing that the fire was almost burning, Shepard chose to end it, preparing to further stimulate the already tense bilateral relationship.
"Although I might die miserably if I get caught, I still can't help but do it!"
Under Shepard's order, the Apple team, which had begun targeted training long ago, boarded the Huey fleet that had undergone many cruise trainings on a dark night. They had to fly more than 200 kilometers at night. , go deep into Angola, and then carry out the second and most important step of Shepard's differentiation plan.
