After the ambush was over, Captain Li and his men quickly evacuated the battlefield, and before leaving, he did not forget to let his men plant a few anti-tank mines on the road.
Captain Li has no interest in dealing with those MPLA infantry, not only because it is a thankless task, but most importantly, there is no reward. You can get 10,000 yuan for destroying a tank, and 50,000 yuan for capturing one. But they are all clearly priced.
infantry? How much is the infantry worth? Just leave it to Uncle Hei to deal with it!
After returning to the frontline base, Captain Lee directly handed the camera film to Wilson. When the latter learned that it was a record of the destruction of four tanks, he immediately smiled. As for the death of more than a dozen black uncles as bait, he was completely Don't care.
"It's okay, the most important thing this place lacks is people!"
Looking at the Apple detachment returning from Desheng, Wilson could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Captain Li's ambush on the other side of the pass, although it was said that he only knocked out four tanks that had entered the pass, but based on the bad terrain, if the People's Movement Without dragging out the wreckage, there is no way to let the heavy equipment pass by. It will take a day or two to go back and forth, and these two days are enough for the 54th transport plane to send some reinforcements from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Soon, the 54 transport plane once again delivered more bombs, and Hannibal was among them. He rushed to Uige Province with his field headquarters and the butter squadron that had completed the personnel replenishment. However, to Wilson's expectation, Hannibal Nibal not only refused his orders for the Shadow Company to participate in the defense of the bridge, he even refused to become the supreme commander there.
"We are not here to compete with them. You are responsible for defense. Those recoilless rifles belong to you. If not, my people can train you. It is impossible for my people to participate in defense. Reality!"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about that, you just need to prepare what we want!"
"However, this is different from what was promised. Without elite mercenaries, the black men cannot hold the line of defense at all!"
"Then organize a war supervision team and shoot a few typical ones. The remaining guys will stay in the trenches honestly. And if you can provide those guys with better supplies, I think they will be happy to work there. Those who squatted in the trenches until they died, my people are only under my command!"
"Okay, but why do you need a boat? Do you want to cross the river to counterattack? Do you need me to send you some guides?"
"No need, we are familiar with this place!"
Hannibal shook his head lightly and said.
"You just need to guard this bridge, that's enough!"
What Hannibal said is correct. Uige Province is also the home base of most of the Shadow Company. Brother Zabi's team has fought guerrillas and established fortresses in Uige Province, although most of them followed. The retreating army ran to the north of the Congo River, but many people still stayed on the south bank. They were equipped with radios and telescopes and could easily collect various intelligence about the MPLA.
As for these tasks, Shepard was already arranging them while the combat team was still resting.
Now, the transportation routes and transit supply points of the MPLA in Uige Province have been clearly marked on the combat map by Shepard. What Hannibal has to do is to wait for the equipment to be in place, and then move these in one breath. Pull out the stronghold!
Following Hannibal's order, Wilson collected as many civilian ships and canoes as possible. Then, Hannibal took the two teams at hand on these ships and quietly crossed the lower reaches of the river in the night, meeting Zabi. guerrilla groups converged.
For this operation, the CIA also provided a number of lightweight jeeps. These light vehicles weighing less than a ton were put on the ferry and sent across the river. This work was extremely secretive, except for a few people including Wilson. Apart from knowing it, the other ANLF troops defending on the north bank didn't know at all, and they didn't need to know. Although they didn't participate in Hannibal's plan, Wilson still cooperated with their work as much as possible.
Wilson planned to turn the bridgehead into a flesh and blood mill. For this purpose, he prepared more reserves, so that when the MPLA troops launched an attack, they would grind meat with the opponent at the bridgehead, so as to attract more Anban people. Attention of transport troops
force to reduce resistance for Hannibal and their actions.
On the second day after Hannibal crossed the river, the MPLA troops barely managed to open the pass. Then, the MPLA troops, who had a long memory, began an extremely strict coordinated infantry and tank advance, so the passage from the pass to the bridgehead was Halfway through the road, it took another half day for the People's Liberation Army to arrive.
By the time the attack on the bridge officially began, Hannibal had successfully merged with the armed guerrilla groups operating in the area.
"Very good, try to make the fight as lively as possible, so that we can take action!"
So Wilson abruptly turned his defensive battle into an offensive. Although he did not have tanks, he relied on dozens of mortars and howitzers, plus the recoilless rifles brought by Hannibal. The rain blocked the MPLA troops at the other end of the bridge. Anyway, the field airport was less than 20 kilometers behind the bridge. It was extremely convenient to transport troops or replenish ammunition. Wilson immediately asked the black uncles to start fighting.
And his stance of persistence also successfully aroused the interest of the MPLA commander on the other side of the Taiwan Strait. After so long, a guy who liked to compete with him finally appeared. The Soviet commander immediately moved towards the nearby friendly troops. An invitation to assist was sent, and then a steady stream of artillery was also converging on his position.
As a result, the battle for the bridge gradually went awry and turned into an artillery battle between the two sides. Both sides assembled hundreds of artillery pieces and fired with unflinching momentum from morning to night every day. Z.br>
And this is what Hannibal is waiting for!
Because of the fierce battle, the transit supply depot of the People's Movement of An People's Liberation Army is running almost continuously. The black uncles who work here are busy from morning to night every day. Let alone rest, everyone has to take turns to go to the toilet.
Then, on an equally busy late night, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles with headlights on came from north to south. Many people in the convoy were all white, and in each vehicle There was also a Soviet flag on the car.
This kind of high-profile march did not arouse the suspicion of the sentry at the transit station. After all, at this moment, those who were so arrogant must be friendly forces, and you see those white soldiers, they talk about Sukabuli and Davarich at every turn. , this is not their dear Soviet notice, who else could it be?
