Evacuating the northern controlled area was also a rather painful decision for Shepard. Although he made up for his losses by destructively plundering the northern area and made a small profit, when he thought about his long-term income, he still lost money. Big hair!
But there is no way. In the game of great powers, just missing a bite can feed countless people and make countless people unemployed. The United States has fed countless people in Afghanistan for twenty years, but when it leaves, it will not You know how many people's jobs have been ruined.
Shepard was lucky. There were not many geopolitical conflicts during the Cold War, and dynasties changed very frequently. The president of a country today may be a prisoner tomorrow, and during this period, private military groups were indispensable.
This is the best of times and the worst of times, but for Shepard, this is an era of forge ahead!
The failure of FRELIMO does not mean the end of the Shadow Company. On the contrary, now the MPLA has helped the United States complete the integration of forces in some respects. For Angola, the most difficult part of the civil war has now truly begun.
Under the autumn wind sweeping offensive of the Cuban army, the MPLA, which had completed the unification of the north, can be said to have a relatively stable rear base. In terms of size, they occupy almost three-fifths of the country. Not only did they get hundreds of With 70% of the oil producing areas and the weight of the capital, they are just one step away from becoming a communist country.
But the problem is that in this era, most countries have to choose their own camp, except for a few special cases.
The MPLA that is completely directed towards the Soviet Union is something that many countries do not want to see, such as the Soviet Union’s neighbors.
After the collapse of FRELIMO, Savimbi, the only one carrying the banner of resistance, naturally became a potential stock in the eyes of many countries. Various funding, support and assistance came pouring in, and the Shadow Company also took this opportunity to relocate. Headquarters, the new headquarters was moved directly to the South African military base in ***.
This place was built by South Africa very early into a huge comprehensive base, which has multiple functions of supporting the frontline and rear areas. It is also a huge training camp. In order to ensure its position as the leading brother in Africa, it can only be said that South Africa is also very deliberate. .
The National Cooperation Bureau allocated a large area to Shadow Company, and even hired more than a hundred black waiters to clean rooms, pack luggage, etc. for the P's.
After arriving at the *** base, the CIA was not in a hurry to let Shepard do any more work. Their own mercenaries and Shadow Company had damaged so many manpower and equipment in the previous battles. Therefore, the top priority now is Reorganize and restock equipment.
Relying on his uncle's old relationship with the Ministry of Defense, Yodel successfully got the top management to approve more new equipment for the African operation, including special helicopter weapon racks, vehicle modification kits, etc. In addition, there were more Tao weapons. Type missiles and equipment such as 19-mm grenade launchers.
Shepard is not going to carry any of this equipment on foot. The TOW missiles are for use by Huey helicopters with 30 weapon stations. Technicians from the United States have modified all the current Shadow Company Huey helicopters so that they can External missiles and other weapons are used, and those jeeps are the same.
After getting the brand new Land Rover Jeep, the P's spontaneously started to modify it. They removed the obstructive windshield and replaced it with bulletproof armor. In addition, the P's also installed several RPD light machine guns on the jeep. Coupled with the TAO-style launcher located in the middle, Shepard simply chose the path of not being a human being. .z.br>
There was no hope of a head-on confrontation, and Shepard did not think that the South African army could compete head-on with the Cuban army. After getting rid of all distracting thoughts, Shepard's mind was only about sneak attack, sneak attack, sneak attack!
Rely on speed, rely on disguise to carry out sneak attacks, abandon all concepts of honor and disgrace, and abandon moral bottom lines. As long as you can disgust the enemy, you can do whatever you want!
After more than a month of rest, the resurrected Shadow Company once again launched a full-scale attack. This time, in addition to the existing weapons, Shepard also got his men new big treasures from mysterious powers.
Because the terrain in southern Angola is not as rainforest-rich as in the north, there is an opportunity to have a new car.
The Shadow Team can run wildly on the highway. It doesn't matter even if there is no road. There are roads everywhere in the grasslands and deserts. As long as the goal is clear, you can go any way!
The commandos carrying enough fuel and supplies returned to Angola from the eastern border of Angola. In order to avenge the last time, they returned to the battlefield with a clear goal, which was to find the man who had beaten them so brutally before. Cuban armor takes revenge.
Of course, it is definitely not revenge like everyone rushes to the opponent's tank in a Jeep. Let's not talk about the consequences of doing so. This Cuban armored force alone no longer exists. In order to make up for the lack of firepower on the front line, The commander of the Cuban Volunteer Army split the armored units and assigned them to the front line at the company level, because the Annan Coalition Army fighting them was not a weak chicken without heavy equipment like the Annan Liberation Army. Not only did the Annan Coalition Army have a large number of There are also many artillery armored vehicles, Centurions and other medium tanks equipped with 105 mm.
Relying on the frontline friendly forces to attract firepower, the commando team led by Hannibal unsurprisingly penetrated into the interior of the MPLA through no-man's land. Then, based on the guidance of satellites and local personnel, the commando team easily found Anhui. The MPLA set up a supply center less than a hundred kilometers behind the front.
"This is it!"
Hannibal looked at the time with satisfaction, then directed his men to disguise the vehicle, and then quietly waited for nightfall.
At night, when it was hard to see anything, the P's began to unload the new equipment they had brought along with them from the jeep.
They were huge artillery shell-like things, each with a caliber exceeding 105 mm, and their size was much larger than ordinary howitzer shells. The most important thing was that although dozens of shells were unloaded, Shadow The company didn't carry anything like gun barrels.
The P's simply used engineering shovels to build several earth slopes no more than a thousand meters away from the supply center, and then placed the artillery shells on them.
"107 rockets, I don't know why the boss likes this thing so much, but he recommended it so, it shouldn't be too bad!"
After watching the cannonballs being placed in place, Hannibal nodded and motioned for his men to light the fire.
