"Beep~~~"
At 0450 hours, although the entire camp was busy until late last night before going to bed, when the order from Moscow traveled thousands of miles and reached the hands of Captain Malashenko.
The experienced airborne captain, who had only been in Africa for three months, immediately ordered the watchman to blow the emergency muster whistle.
Immediately, dozens of large tents in the entire camp seemed to come alive. A dozen Soviet officers and non-commissioned officers wearing camouflage pants and sea soul shirts rushed out of their tents first, followed by these experienced instructors who had already put on their equipment. Then he began to urge the black soldiers whose movements were less than one percent as smooth as theirs.
"Comrades, hurry up, move faster, the combat mission has been issued, and as a quick reaction force, we must be the first to rush to the front line!"
Under the urging of the instructors, the camp, which had been a little panicked just now, immediately changed its appearance. Although the noise did not weaken a little, the footsteps of those rushing out of the tent were no longer messy, but began to become neat and orderly. .
Soon, the spacious area in front of the parking lot was quickly filled with hundreds of armed soldiers. When the last fully armed soldier merged into the crowd, the commotion that had just been heard quickly disappeared.
Then, a row of military trucks surrounding both sides of the open space turned on their headlights, illuminating the position in front of the phalanx like daylight.
"stand at attention!"
"Take a break!"
Malashenko, who put on his combat attire, strode out of the darkness with his AK rifle slung over his right shoulder.
"I'm very sorry!"
Although Captain Nikolai Malashenko said this when he walked into the light, the expression on his face was extremely serious.
"I know that everyone has been marching for a day yesterday and is very tired, but now, we can't rest!"
Malashenko lifted the order he had just received from his pocket and waved it in the air several times.
"We were supposed to enter Luanda amidst the cheers of the people, but according to intelligence, the Portuguese had reached an agreement with the Americans. They wanted to hand over all Luanda and a series of control areas in the center to the FRELIMO in the north. This It is an insult to me and to you soldiers who have fought for independence and freedom for many years. You have made so many sacrifices, and now, the results of the victory are about to be usurped by those shameless lackeys. Tell me, can you agree?"
"cannot!"
Phalanx replied in an extremely loud voice.
"Okay, then, we will continue to march without sleep until we capture Luanda! Let's go!"
After the Carnation Revolution broke out in Portugal, the Portuguese army took the initiative to stop all fighting in Angola. After that, the interim government and many armed forces in Angola began a long-term negotiation.
But as we all know, if you can’t get it by force, you can’t get it by negotiation. Although all parties hope that the Portuguese will withdraw from Angola, they have different opinions on who will become the legitimate post-war regime. When the negotiations reached a deadlock, the Soviet Union supported The People's Liberation Army of China was the first to become active. They gave up the so-called hope of solving everything through negotiation, and instead decided to find another way to solve the problem. After all, they had negotiated, so what hope was there? .z.br>
Rather than convincing their opponents with words, the People's Liberation Army hopes to solve their opponents physically. Therefore, the ceasefire agreement before the negotiations became a piece of waste paper. In the blood and fire, the People's Liberation Army has developed a qualified combat force. The movement immediately began to mobilize all available forces, trying to bring several nearby provinces, including the capital Luanda, under control before the Portuguese completely withdrew. The team led by Captain Malashenko was the closest to Luanda.
After receiving dual orders from Moscow and the top management of the MPLA, the captain immediately led his team and began a race against time.
Because Moscow's top brass understands that the MPLA's troop mobilization cannot be hidden from the CIA, which has already shifted its attention to Angola. Therefore, what they have to do is to create an established fact, that is, to control more people before the Americans can react. region, the best result is naturally to control the heart of Angola, that is, as the capital
Luanda, because in this way, they can gain the unification of justice to suppress other armed forces.
After receiving the order, Captain Malashenko did not dare to slack off at all. The MPLA motorized infantry battalion he was responsible for training and commanding immediately abandoned all debris and carried only weapons, ammunition, oil and food supplies, and began Hitting hard towards Luanda.
The driver was rotated when he was sleepy, the car was thrown away when it broke down, and when there was no fuel, he went to the servant army camp to seize it. Under the command of Captain Malashenko, this infantry battalion of the People's Liberation Army defeated the colonial army in less than three days. Three battalions of the authorities marched across two provinces and occupied nearly thirteen cities. The price they paid was less than double-digit casualties and the destruction of nearly half of the battalion's vehicles.
When the United States reacted and realized that the Soviet Union had begun to strike first, Captain Malashenko's forward troops were still only 60 kilometers away from Luanda.
These sixty kilometers are still within easy reach for the MPLA troops who have reached the end of their strength, because the Portuguese garrison that can stop them at this moment has fled at the speed of light, and the colonial troops organized by the Portuguese government have also lost their wages. Deserters everywhere.
But because the personnel and fuel situation had reached an extremely dangerous situation, Captain Malashenko had to order his men to take a small rest. He only needed to replenish the minimum level of fuel, and his troops could rush into Luanda in one go. Urban area!
And during these four most critical hours, the CIA, which was belatedly aware of the situation, began to use all means to prevent the actions of the MPLA.
Because neither the colonial authorities nor the FRELIMO had any usable troops at the moment, Shepard, who was still in a meeting in the United States, was urgently summoned to Langley. Amidst the noise of the three million commission arriving, A 141 transport plane urgently took off from the Shadow Company's base camp and sent the three combat units of Apple, Cream, and Charlie directly to the Portuguese Air Force Base outside Luanda.
When the armed soldiers unloaded all the usable equipment in the cabin onto the runway, Captain Malashenko's troops also completed their final rest and began to move towards the air force base outside Luanda.
Both sides have also received the latest satellite reconnaissance intelligence. With the investment of the intelligence department at all costs, everyone understands that the future of Angola is now!
