"Retreat, retreat, attackers! Leave immediately!"
Hannibal felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, his hands and feet were cold. He desperately watched the remaining two birds struggling in the fire net, and could only shout in vain on the radio.
The remaining two Birds reacted quickly. They tried their best to dive to the height of the treetops in an attempt to avoid the anti-aircraft gun attack. However, one Bird was still hit, and the helicopter flew towards the west side of the town with billowing smoke. , and then under the watchful eyes of everyone, the helicopter forcibly landed on the wasteland outside the town.
The remaining little bird didn't care about anything, scurried away and left the airspace as quickly as possible.
The two pilots who crashed the bird were seriously injured. After the medics provided emergency assistance, Hannibal immediately asked the truck to send them back together with several wounded people from the front line. He no longer had any hope of holding Caddo Town. There was no hope, but now he couldn't make the troops retreat and could only send the wounded back first.
Xiaoniao's failed raid was staged without reservation in front of the defenders' eyes, and the blow to morale was unimaginable. However, even so, the defenders stationed on the position continued to fight tenaciously.
"Don't think about counterattack now, just try your best to hold the position, pick up Hudson for me!"
After the communication was established, Hannibal went straight to the point.
"There's no hope!"
"I know, the Cubans screwed us all!"
Hudson on the other end of the radio replied in great pain.
"From the beginning to the end, we were played around by the other side. They sent a total of 8,000 people in two days, all combat troops. The Anjie Front is finished!"
"What's next?"
"I have sent reinforcements, but don't expect those FRELIMO troops to be able to hold off for long. The action team is placing explosives on the bridges on the Benguela Highway. If you withdraw, they will blow up the bridges!"
"I see!"
Hannibal nodded, and then called a few people around him, asking them to convey his latest orders to each team.
"Collect the identity tags of the fallen brothers and shrink the defense line to the west of the town! Plant as many mines and explosives as possible!"
When this order was passed to the hands of each squad leader, several squad captains were a little surprised, because this order was not an offensive order at all.
"Why, give me another five minutes and I can rush over!"
"Cuba has newly reinforced 8,000 combat troops and is now attacking the front lines in full force!"
The ordering soldier could only answer truthfully, while several detachment commanders could only sigh helplessly after hearing this.
"Why are we fighting this war? There are more than 20,000 Cubans in Angola now! I'm afraid they are going to send all the Cuban troops over!"
"It's not impossible!"
No matter how helpless the detachment commanders were, they could only carry out the newly issued orders. They could not take away the bodies of the fallen brothers, but could only take away their identity tags. Those name tags still stained with blood were packed into a large bag, and then It was put into the squad commander's backpack.
Then, the still-living P began to attack more violently. They smashed out all the grenades, explosives, and smoke bombs that could be thrown. The violent explosions and rising smoke immediately startled the Cuban special forces who were fighting with them. , everyone's night vision goggles were just that, they couldn't see anything with a flash of light. As a last resort, the Cuban special forces could only fight back in the same way, smashing out all the explosives they had on hand.
After the violent explosion, the Cuban special forces discovered that the enemy who had been so aggressive just now had disappeared at the corner of the street. A squad tried to pursue them, but was shot back by bullets as soon as they chased them.
The Cuban special forces, who couldn't figure out what the opponent wanted to do, could only fumble a little bit cautiously. After they fumbled over, they found that their opponent had disappeared again.
In order to block the pursuers from behind, they even laid no cover for the mines they laid, and just threw them carelessly on the ground. Although this move was quite perfunctory, these pressure-fired mines mixed in the ruins are usually invisible without looking carefully. I really can't identify them, let alone a few broadsides mixed in with these perfunctory mines.
Sword and mine.
On the other side of the mercenaries, relying on the smoke of grenade launchers and the traps of Rhodesian mercenaries, they also successfully blocked the pursuit of Cuban paratroopers. Along the entire front, the defenders began to gradually break away, but most of them The combat troops are still continuing to fight. After all, retreating can turn into a rout if you are not careful, so you must be careful!
In the center of the town, Hannibal also sent a wave of mercenaries to start placing explosives in the buildings. The Cubans' greatest threat to them was the tanks, so they created more ruins and made it difficult for the tanks to move, so that they could maximize their Eliminate the opponent's advantage to the maximum extent possible.
Now that the battle has started, the Cubans have come to realize that although the enemy seems more ferocious than before, the thunder is loud and the rain is light, and the firepower encountered by our side is not as intense as when the battle just started. .z.br>
"Are they going to run?"
"Pinch the attack from both sides of the southeast, close the pockets, and block the west road with artillery. We must not let them escape!"
After Colonel Diaz's order was issued, the Cuban soldiers became more and more courageous in fighting, and the sounds of hurrahs could be heard one after another.
The defenders who retreated to the west side of the town were in chaos. They had no time to destroy the map radio and so on, so they could only randomly throw grenades and blast them. Although there were enough vehicles for the retreat, because the road was narrow, everyone was fighting for the vehicles in front. The commotion continued, but fortunately each other's commanders knew what to do now and forcibly diverted the flow of people and vehicles.
At this time, the Cuban artillery and rocket launchers began to fire continuously on the road.
At this moment, Hannibal's plan is no longer important. Everyone is jumping on vehicles as much as possible to escape from this place. Although the shells will turn the vehicles into burning fireballs from time to time, no one flinches. The drivers stepped on the accelerator and tried to break through the wall of fire. Some succeeded, while others failed, and finally disappeared in the endless fire.
"It's all over!"
Hannibal, who was forced into the car by his men, didn't understand why things turned out like this. The failure was too sudden and even a little unreal, but no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, they did fail, and it was a complete defeat. That kind of failure!
Although he was deeply saddened, he still forced a smile on his face to comfort his men who were evacuating with him in the car.
"Don't worry, this is not a retreat, we are just attacking in another direction!"
