"Are these mercenaries crazy?"
The commander of the MPLA troops stationed in the forest felt that his head was going to explode. This was not to say that Shadow Company had used some African witchcraft to curse him, but it was almost the same, because the sounds echoing in the forest were enough. Torturous!
In addition to the regular combat troops, Shadow Company also has an eight-person psychological warfare team. Of course, the name is actually a bit exaggerated, because their psychological tactics are very crude, and they only use intimidation, intimidation, and intimidation.
Of course, although it is an intimidation tactic, it is not actually threatening the opponent with harsh words using a loudspeaker, but using various means to torture the opponent. Playing music for the opponent after the battle is also one of them.
Acting requires a complete performance. This is what Shepard has always emphasized. Therefore, the attack of Duff and Edward's team is not just a so-called fierce attack and then ends.
The two squad captains were naturally not mediocre to stand out among the many newcomers. According to Hannibal's order, after they advanced for about a thousand meters, they showed a lack of stamina, and then began to retreat, and after retreating At that time, the unit commander did not forget to lay mines on the ground and deploy snipers. Therefore, when the MPLA troops tried to drive the enemy out of the forest, they were hit head-on by landmines and snipers.
The two teams deployed only a dozen snipers in the forest, but the MPLA suffered as many as thirty casualties when it tried to counterattack. Except for the single-digit sniper casualties, the others all struck mines in the chaos. Caused!
Such a bad situation made the MPLA troops dare not act rashly, and the MPLA commander also understood that the enemy had inserted a nail into their core. If the opponent still occupied the offensive position, then they could still attack the forest. MPLA troops pose a threat.
Therefore, the commander could only constantly mobilize manpower from the rear to fill the front line. In the forests on both sides of the southeast, there were only more than 500 MPLA troops, and now they were all gathered on this side of the defense line.
When the People's Liberation Army strengthened its defense line and assumed a defensive posture, Duff and Edward's team placed the psychological warfare team's loudspeakers in the forest. Then, they asked all personnel to exit the forest and return to Caddo Town. rest.
Now, in addition to the People's Liberation Army soldiers stationed in defensive positions, there are only about a dozen loudspeakers playing creepy music and miserable laughter in the forest.
These sounds are not really scary to the MPLA soldiers, but they are really noisy. The non-stop noise makes it impossible for them to have an effective rest. Even the vigilant sentries are distracted by the noise. Even when the black uncles stuck out their buttocks and squatted on the tuba, a sudden burst of laughter could make them fly up in fright.
They couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and were tortured by noise even when they were awake. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were miserable. It was only half a night, and more than a dozen people were heading to the other side of the forest because they couldn't stand the noise. A desperate attack was launched, and then several people stepped on mines one after another. After being blown off a foot or a leg, they were rescued by their own people.
After dawn, the Duff and Edward detachments, who slept very sweetly with earplugs in a warm room in the town, started attacking again after breakfast. The MPLA troops, who had not had much rest at all, could only bite the bullet and rush to fight. , but with low morale, they could not continue fighting at all, and were forced to retreat again, handing over the trenches they had dug before.
When the MPLA troops retreated, Shadow Company's mortars rained heavy bullets on their ranks. Just one round of shelling caused dozens of casualties, and those advancing along with the shelling , as well as the Edward and Duff detachments, they maintained the rhythm and launched attacks when the enemy was stable, but when advancing, they gave the ANLP opponent the illusion of insufficient stamina.
The MPLA commander was desperate for the situation. He was even preparing to destroy all the facilities of the headquarters and then engage in a decisive battle with the enemy. As a result, he received news from the rear that MiG fighters from the Cuban Volunteer Air Force would come to support them.
This news gave the remaining MPLA troops a shot in the arm, freeing them from the despair that was on the verge of collapse. Then, the MPLA soldiers who had just been in pain due to consecutive defeats and lack of rest Now I am more motivated to fight
Give the enemy a good look. Z.br>
Less than thirty minutes after receiving the news, four MiG fighter jets with 50kg bombs hanging on their attachment points came fiercely from the southeast, and then began to bombard the position occupied by the Shadow Company in the forest. .
Although the 50kg bomb sounds very weak, it is no problem to kill the infantry in the simple bunker. Dozens of bombs fell and exploded in the forest. The flying shrapnel and exploding sawdust are all dangerous goods. Being hit is not a problem. It's as simple as making a hole.
It's just that the Cuban Air Force's horrific bombing had no effect at all. After they took off, Shadow Company received the intelligence. The Duff and Edward detachments withdrew from the city almost at flying speed, and then watched them ten minutes ago. The position where they stayed was covered in bombs.
After the explosion, the MPLA troops couldn't wait to launch a bayonet charge. The black uncles had had enough of the previous situation, but after the smoke cleared, there were no enemies in front of them, only the dirt that was blown up by the bombs. And trees fell all over the place.
And the worst thing is that in the ruins after the air raid, there are still landmines thrown on the ground randomly by the enemy. There are all kinds of mines, such as tripping mines, pressure mines, etc. There are not many in number, but their positions are tricky and slightly uncomfortable. Shen may be tricked.
This is the most frustrating thing. The MPLA troops fought fiercely all night and for a long time, but they did not even see the enemy. Instead, they suffered hundreds of casualties under the triple attack of artillery fire, landmines, and snipers, let alone the enemy. Not even a single hair on the enemy’s buttocks was visible!
At this moment, the MPLA commander can only pin his hopes on the approaching armored forces.
"As long as Big Brother Cuba's tanks attack, everything will be fine!"
The commander comforted himself.
His letters for help were also sent to the Cuban Armored Forces one by one by the radio station. Looking at these battle reports full of despair and helplessness, the commander of the Cuban Armored Forces was also anxious, but fortunately his leading armored company They have already taken the lead, with ten tanks, and are now estimated to be close to Cardo. As long as those allies see their own tanks, they will definitely regain their confidence!
