There is actually nothing wrong with the idea of the Cuban special forces commander. These days, American night vision devices are not issued to every infantryman, let alone mercenaries.
It's just that there is a wrong boss in Shadow Company. He insists on having one optical sight for each rifle, not to mention the night vision device, which is very important for night fighting. He directly gave a large sum of money to Vietnam for this thing. The banknotes were just taken out of the warehouse. Although Shadow Company cannot have one per person, there is no problem with one per team. Not to mention the Rhodesian mercenaries who came to support them. These have been fighting chaos on the border for many years. The executioners' equipment is not bad at all, what is lacking is just the quantity!
After deciding on a night battle, the two sides immediately began to quietly mobilize their troops, but Lily Marlene was still playing the song. Hannibal was even worried that there were not enough Cubans to listen, so he dug out lines and machines from the ruins and arranged them. The southeastern sides of the town.
As a result, Lily Marlene was still melancholy waiting for her lover, while under this song with obvious anti-war meaning, the Americans, South Africans, French and British were preparing to start a head-to-head fight with the Cubans on the opposite side.
In order to ensure a smooth raid at night, Hannibal allocated all the RPD machine guns to the Apple Squadron, which was responsible for the raid mission. This was the only reserve team he had on hand that was not engaged in combat. Now, it was time for them to play their role.
Each soldier carried enough bullets on his back, and the comrades behind them carried grenade bags around their waists. In addition to the machine gunner, everyone also carried an additional 2 rocket launchers on their shoulders. In order to enhance protection, Each person even wore two 5-inch bulletproof jackets.
While Hannibal was making preparations nervously, the company's Black Cat seaplane also arrived at Caddo, and slowly scattered supplies on the west side of the road, and those most important TOW missiles are transported by helicopter and will arrive later.
After Shepard learned about Hannibal's plan, he sent the last three oh6 Bird helicopters over. This battle must be fought. Once Benguela collapses, the Anglia Liberation Army will no longer have any soldiers to fight against. The Congolese ethnic group affiliated with FRELIMO has a limited population in Angola. Unlike the MPLA and UNITA’s Oven community, which has a large population, there must be no problems here.
Everyone knows this, so South Africa is also trying to find ways to save this bad situation. They even temporarily suspended the fighting on the southern front just to dispatch elite troops here to help the ANLF strengthen its defenses.
All the CIA personnel in Angola were mobilized, trying their best to use their own channels to prepare for all kinds of support. However, due to various reasons, the fate of the Heavenly Soldiers was far away. This really made Shepard a little uncomfortable. He, ah, liked to watch the great powers tear apart. Forced!
It is worth mentioning that at this juncture, the Anjie Formation received a little help from a mysterious country, but unfortunately the help was not much, only some material support, but it was better than nothing, but the other party did leave a contact channel. Shepard is trying to get in touch with that line through Zabi. He is planning to get together the three major artifacts of the guerrillas. He already has the AK and RPG, but now he only needs the 107 rocket launcher!
And here in Caddo, when night fell, Lily Marlene also stopped singing, and the echo in the town turned into the roar of Cuban tank engines and a little generator sound. The whole town fell into darkness, and both sides It was eerily quiet on the battlefield, and the Shadow Company soldiers even tied cloth on their boots to reduce the noise.
And this dead silence lasted until one o'clock in the middle of the night. At this moment, the moon in the sky was also hidden behind the clouds, as if it was covered with a quilt and fell asleep. However, the mercenaries and Cuban special forces who had been waiting for a long time began to look like prey at night. The person usually starts to move quietly.
The Cuban special forces use the 1p34 night vision scope. This mirror was originally going to be put into production with the AK74 rifle in a later year, but in this world, this mirror was put into production earlier, which is also beneficial. Perseus, a branch of the KGB, paid attention to the Vietnam battlefield. Chinese website
In the absence of moonlight, visual visibility was pitifully low, but both sides had night vision equipment, so each other's actions were quite bold.
Captain Li wore night vision goggles on his head and held a gun in his hand.
77 submachine gun, compared to the 6, the x77 is lighter and more conducive to close combat.
The captain was the first to lead the way. They tried to bypass the ruins from the south and go straight to the market, and then pushed eastward to join the friendly forces there. At this moment, a crumbling two-story building was blocking the captain. He wanted to go around, but just when he was about to take a step, he seemed to hear something moving not far away.
The captain immediately raised his fist to signal the team to stop, and then everyone was on alert. On the other side of the building, the commander of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also silently asked his men to stop. Both sides felt that something was wrong, and they were far away from them. There's only one building separated.
Immediately, the depressing atmosphere filled everyone's hearts again, and many people even trembled unconsciously due to the pressure. However, everyone was a veteran, so they quickly adjusted themselves.
Time passed like this, and Hannibal didn't know what happened on the front line. He was still waiting silently for the scheduled time. At two o'clock, the mortar team would launch flares to attract the enemy. focus to cover the frontline assault.
At the moment when the pointer was in place, the gunner who had been waiting for a long time stuffed the illumination bomb into the barrel of the gun. After several muffled bangs, a huge light exploded over the town, like daylight, making everyone involuntarily pick it off. Night vision goggles.
And with the light above their heads, both parties, who struggled to regain their sight from the strong light, also saw each other through the holes in the fragile building.
After a brief daze, the flares burned out and returned to the earth as the last red light. When the sky turned dark again, the dense rain of gunfire illuminated a corner of the town in an instant.
"Fire!" x2
The commanders of both sides shouted almost at the same time, and then everyone began to shoot in front of them desperately. At this moment, no one took aim at all. Everyone pulled the trigger like crazy. As long as they were not hit, As long as you haven't fallen down yet, if you finish shooting one magazine, then reload another magazine, and if you finish shooting the rifle, use the pistol. Until the opponent's gunfire stops, your own gunfire will never stop!
